Comments on: Case Of Tuberculosis Confirmed In Escambia School http://www.northescambia.com/2010/09/health-dept-to-discuss-infection-control-issue-at-escambia-school Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sun, 12 Apr 2026 14:21:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Horrific http://www.northescambia.com/2010/09/health-dept-to-discuss-infection-control-issue-at-escambia-school/comment-page-1#comment-54950 Horrific Wed, 29 Sep 2010 17:19:29 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=29728#comment-54950 Poor little mites.... As if the children in this town don't have enough problems. They said on the news last night that it took repeated exposure for this to be a problem. That sounded like garbage to me as I know that this is spread by just a simple cough. All another child has to do is inhale it. Seems to me thats the same way you get the common cold and that doesn't take repeated exposure. I'm sure there is something about the germ content that is different or something. Guess I should google it or call my daughter who is a nurse, sometimes I think she is smarter than some of the doctors I have had. Poor little mites….

TB in schools. Well, at least one. How many people have had contact with this person, whether it be at school, home, gas station, grocery store...And then, how many people have caught it and passed it on to someone else? This really is a big deal! I sure hope this doesn't turn into a big outbreak. I’m really concerned about this! TB in schools. Well, at least one.

I imagine that this is something that they felt that they had to report, unlike what they did with the water quality story that was broken here first. I sent an email to the PNJ and WEAR asking them why they didn't report that story until after they reported on this site given their larger staffs. I never received a reply from either entity.

So I don't think you can say they "want to suppress" the info.... William is just better at getting the info and dispersing it efficiently You are right that 99% of the time you can only find information or find it here first… but to play the devil’s advocate WEAR did have the general announcement early in the afternoon (when just vague info was being released).

To expand upon my earlier comment, thank Heavens for NorthEscambia.com. More than once I have found significant news here that is not on the PNJ or WEAR webpage. However, once it is posted here, those two magically discover the story that was covered here hours before. Keep up the good work NorthEscambia.com. Now, the news on on the local station.
