"Some of you are aware, we have and still have mobilized staff and resources addressing an unprecedented tuberculosis outbreak in one of our counties," Goss told lawmakers. "We are working collaboratively with CDC on that. CDC remains on the ground with us to support. That's not a negative. This is normal when there's something unprecedented or a large outbreak of any kind, they will come and lend resources to us to help get a stop to that. We are trending in the right direction right now."

THAT just makes me GD crazy! What Trump, RFK JR and all that MAGAT crowd have done to destroy Public Health in this country is going to harm us all for generations! I am so damned angry.

MMWR should be reporting on the epidemiology of this outbreak. Oh, yeah.. incommunicado per order of der Fuehrer.
