SoCal Tuberculosis Scare

This one was at a gym:

Solano County Public Health is looking for members of the 24-Hour Fitness gym in Vallejo who may have been exposed to tuberculosis

Patrons at 24-Hour Fitness gym in Vallejo are on edge after a member tested positive for tuberculosis.

Solano Public Health Officials notified the club on June 16 that a member was infected with the disease.

A club spokesperson refused to answer why it took two weeks to notify other members.

On Friday, county health officials reached out to anyone who was in the club at the same time as the infected patron.

“Everyone checks in so that’s how we know who was in the club while he was there,” said Dr. Michael Stacey with the Solano County Health Department.

Members said they have never been concerned about potentially contracting anything at the club before.

“I’m not really personally worried,” Vallejo-resident Steve Freund said. “You have to be close to get it. But still, this happens.”

The Vallejo gym is located on Sonoma Boulevard.

You have to wonder if this might be a gym frequented by gays, and if this might mean TB has made it into the gay population in the SF Bay area. If so, I’m sure they will be trying to track down contacts like mad behind the scenes, all while keeping their investigation totally off the radar. And given the propensity among many gays for anonymous, spontaneous one night stands, I’d expect them to fail to contain it.

TB would be easy to keep out of the US, but we can’t even stop it. Sooner or later a major, highly communicable disease will hit, and when it does, a lot of rabbits will disappear very quickly.

Tell everyone about r/K Theory, because avoiding disease will be a major Darwinian advantage

Other direction. I took a virtual drive around the neighborhood in google streetview, and I saw lots of check cashing places, taco trucks, middle class houses, and latino bazaars. It’s illegals bringing in TB.

The gays will probably go to where ever the illegals/latinos are. Cali probably attracts a queerer type of migrant too, b/c more benefits and less farm labor.

It was happening in New Orleans about 15yrs ago. They used to test anyone working at Charity Hospital every six months or so. Seemed to be coming from immigrants, and then festering among the lower classes.

Imagine the STDs that’ll rear up again during collapse. HPV, HIV, Syphilis…. could you post as a biologist on the collective immune response? I know the stress alone would weaken but I lack on epidemiology.
