ALERT: Thousands May Have Been Exposed To Deadly TB Epidemic Downtown
Posted on February 22, 2013 by END TIME HEADLINES
The feds are descending on downtown Los Angeles
to
combat a dangerous outbreak of a drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis.
KCAL9′s Jeff Nguyen went downtown in search of people who may have
been exposed. John Williams started living at the Weingart shelter on
LA’s Skid Row two weeks ago. Before he could be admitted, he had to
undergo a screening for tuberculosis. “They make you go get checked
before you get into one of these programs because they don’t want it
spread out in there,” Williams said. With nearly 80 cases of
tuberculosis being identified in LA County since 2007 — thirty of which
have been on Skid Row — tuberculosis screenings are more important than
ever for some.
In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has launched
a coordinated effort to contain the area’s largest outbreak in a
decade. “We are really putting our resources into
this,” said Dr. Jonathan E. Fielding, the director of the Los Angeles
County Department of Public Health. Anthony Stallworth, who pastors
Central City Community Church of the Nazarene on East 6th Street, also
volunteers at the LA Mission. CBS
