#occupy sanatorium: TB breaks out at Occupy Atlanta’s base

#occupy sanatorium: Tuberculosis breaks out at Occupy Atlanta’s base. “The Fulton County Health Department confirmed Wednesday that residents at the homeless shelter where protesters have been occupying have contracted the drug-resistant disease.” Yep, capitalism is unfair to infectious diseases, doncha know.

  • So every major city in the US has claimed inability to provide adequate shelter for the truly homeless, but these scumbags took what little space was there? That alone is criminal. How many residents have been exposed? Granted, it usually takes an extended exposure or really crappy immune system to get TB, but the drug resistant forms now are just that. Very difficult to treat, since they are unresponsive to the usual drugs used to treat TB. Now people must take several drugs together. How much is THAT going to cost? Is Obamacare going to cover that too?

  • Watch as nothing is done to the protesters by the people supposedly in charge of Atlanta. And in two weeks, we'll have... two more weeks worth of horror stories from these OWS savages.

  • This should be no surprise to anyone. I don't feel sorry for people that bad stuff happens to due to their own massive and arrogant stupidity.
