More TB In Scotland, Thanks to Migrants.

Doctors in Glasgow are treating Scotland's first diagnosed case of the drug-resistant XDR tuberculosis strain.
The man who has the XDR-TB strain is reported to have come to the UK from Somalia. He is now in isolation at the Gartnavel General Hospital.
The "super strength" strain of the disease is extremely resistant to traditional antibiotics and has to be treated with a cocktail of drugs.
Doctors have said there is no risk to the general public.
Did you hear that, Doctors say there is no risk to the public. Now remembering that this is a disease that kills over One and a half million people every year. And we have just been told that the XDR Strain of the disease is resistant to drugs. So no worry, perhaps the BBC are using Dr Shipman as their medical advisor.
Now for those that don't know TB is highly contagious and is spread by Well read for yourself. When people suffering from active pulmonary TB cough, sneeze, speak, kiss, or spit, they expel infectious aerosol droplets 0.5 to 5 µm in diameter. A single sneeze, for instance, can release up to 40,000 droplets. Each one of these droplets may transmit the disease, since the infectious dose of tuberculosis is very low and the inhalation of just a single bacterium can cause a new infection.
Read here about the disease then ask yourself do we need to worry that disease ridden Immigrants are putting the health of our nation at risk.
Now read here the rather blase "Don't worry about it BBC Report here" now we all know about the BBC and its pro immigration stance, they will not want to give readers the correct information that may make them think that perhaps immigration into Britain should be stopped in the interests of it's citizens. We have already seen TB cases recorded the length and breadth of Britain, where I live in Aberdeen we have had nurses (from Africa) diagnosed with the disease, and after being told not to worry a few of the patients that were under this nurses care had to be treated as well. But don't worry its nothing to worry about.
Now what worries me is that in approx 90% of cases TB is asymptomatic while the patient does not experience any noticeable symptoms and as such they will go about their daily lives sometimes for years before the disease becomes active. When the disease becomes active the carrier might not put it down to TB as symptoms can be like a cold, or even the flu. So therefore people could be passing the disease without knowing. They could possibly be working away in hospitals, care homes, schools, and many other places where they come into contact with lots of people. I also know that Hospital staff have recently been trained to deal with large scale infections from TB, so what do our government know that we are not being told about. I think if you read the above, it's fairly obvious that an ever increasing risk is being placed on the British public. A risk that can only be stopped, by halting immigration of people into the UK without proper health checks. This should be the minimum requirement, and at best all immigration should be stopped.
The other problem is yet again the expense that will be placed on the already over burdened NHS in both cost and resources, in treating this disease and the number of patients that will surely rise over the coming months.
Whatever way you look at it, mass immigration especially medically unchecked, is a lose , lose situation for the UK.
