TB, syphilis, bedbugs... I thought we got rid of this shit years ago. Are we somehow traveling back in time?

"It's scary. They're just telling us. That's terrible, real terrible... It's scary. I can't even send my daughter to school from this point on because I'm just scared that it can infect my whole family." America: World leader in being scared

"The Department of Eduction confirmed that there is a case of tuberculosis at P.S. 25 in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Apparently a paraprofessional (like a teacher's aide) was diagnosed and students are being tested "as a precautionary measure." The school is not being closed. "While the DOE claims they told parents quickly--they found out the student had TB in early June..." What student?
