Florida Accused of Concealing Worst Tuberculosis Outbreak In 20 Years
NotSanguine writes "The state of Florida has been struggling for months with what the Centers for Disease Control describe as the worst tuberculosis outbreak in the United States in twenty years. Although a CDC report went out to state health officials in April encouraging them to take concerted action, the warning went largely unnoticed and nothing has been done. The public did not even learn of the outbreak until June, after a man with an active case of TB was spotted in a Jacksonville soup kitchen. The Palm Beach Post has managed to obtain records on the outbreak and the CDC report, though only after weeks of repeated requests. These documents should have been freely available under Florida's Sunshine Law."
Yes! And maybe freedom of sapples and freedom of soranges too!
I know this is Slashdot, and no one reads the articles, but this one shows an unbelievable story of Democrat corruption. They pushed to conceal the truth about TB and it was incredible.
What's wrong with you AC? What's with trying to get people to read TFA by lying about what's in it? Geez! I posted TFA and *I* didn't even read it. You should so get banned. In fact, they should take your username away from you! :)

I fail to see the relevance. This is not a political problem. The Lord will cure these people. If they cause an epidemic, killing millions, that's obviously just His will.

In Soviet Russia, dot slashes YOU!
Spain also has 24% unemployment and is desperately trying to stave off financial collapse. This is the model you want us to follow?
My house is painted muave, and the war on Iraq cost us trillions. Therefore, we should ban the color purple.
