What&#8217;s the essence of\u200d their message?<\/p>\n<p><b>Dr. Hemmati:<\/b> \u2063Essentially, the bulletin warns of a TB spike, with a significant portion stemming\u2063 from international arrivals, and a concerning death rate exceeding 13% for\u2064 certain \u200dstrains.<\/p>\n<p><b>Georgia:<\/b> How\u200b do\u200d health officials \u200cnormally screen for tuberculosis?<\/p>\n<p><b>Dr. Hemmati:<\/b> \u200c Immigration protocols typically \u2062include a TB blood test and often a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/candidate-for-texas-gov-allen-west-diagnosed-with-covid-19\/\" title=\"Candidate for Texas Gov.

Can\u200c you explain why it&#8217;s so pernicious?<\/p>\n<p><b>Dr. Hemmati:<\/b> <strong>Tuberculosis, \u2064a bacterial disease<\/strong>, \u2063has a knack for lying dormant, sometimes for decades,\u2064 before manifesting aggressively, ravaging lungs, and facilitating \u2062rapid\u200d bacterial spread \u2063through coughing.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment for TB \u200cis a marathon, requiring lengthy courses of a limited selection of drugs. The rise of multidrug-resistant\u200b TB, \u2063impervious to our current\u200d treatments, is causing unprecedented mortality\u200b rates.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/podcasts\/morning-wire\/schumer-s-israel-critique-inflationary-economic-trends-3-15-24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LISTEN: Tune in to the full interview with Dr. Hemmati on \u200cMorning\u2064 Wire<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><b>Georgia:<\/b> Just how infectious is\u200b TB?<\/p>\n<p><b>Dr. Hemmati:<\/b> While\u2063 transmission requires close contact with \u200can infected person, TB isn&#8217;t exceedingly contagious. However, \u2063when contracted, it&#8217;s a lifelong affliction. Precautionary measures in hospitals, such as N95 masks, \u200dare essential\u200d to prevent its spread.<\/p>\n<h2>Measles Outbreak Concerns<\/h2>\n<p><b>Georgia:<\/b> Shifting focus, there&#8217;s been a measles \u200doutbreak \u200cat a Chicago migrant facility.
