amazon-facility/>
A worker at the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Oxnard has been diagnosed
with active tuberculosis, and though scores of people were possibly
exposed to the disease, Ventura County Public Health said the general
populace is safe.
Public Health said in a Thursday press release that the diagnosis was
recent and that about 180 people were potentially exposed.
On Monday and Tuesday, the VCPH Tuberculosis Program coordinated with
Amazon to notify employees and offer educational programs. Free testing
for close contacts will be offered next week.
Riverside County child tests positive for tuberculosis
TB is primarily a lung-based disease caused by bacteria that are spread by
activities like coughing and sneezing, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The primary treatment for TB is antibiotics, though “some forms of the
bacteria no longer respond well to treatments,” the Mayo Clinic noted.
People who are infected with TB typically contain inactive bacteria in
their bodies, preventing transmission, according to VCPH.
However, about 10% of those infected become sick with an active infection
at some point, allowing the disease to spread.
Another case of active tuberculosis was reported in a Riverside County
child on Thursday. The unidentified student at Raymond Cree Middle School
in Palm Springs was briefly hospitalized, then allowed to continue
recovery at home.

"LOCKDOWN", left-wing COVID fearmongering. 95% of COVID infections
recover with no after effects.
No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.
Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.
Donald J. Trump, cheated out of a second term by fraudulent "mail-in"
ballots. Report voter fraud: sf.n...@mail.house.gov
Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
