Ancient Killer Bug Thrives in Shadow of London

TB.

Becoming rife.

Oh well, I'm sure they'll manage to dig up some viable plague or smallpox one of these days.

All but eliminated from the UK, reintroduced by immigrants.

Immigrantist!

How so?

I'm all for the filthy bastards poisoning us and expending our already meagre NHS resources. Keeps the Nurses and Morgues busy.

Mr Spod, I have a Nick Griffin, line one for you.

When relocating ancient graves they often have to use East European workers as they have been immunised against smallpox.

Maybe the "rich" should try letting cash flow round the economy instead of hooarding it? Might save us from depression too.

Storm in a teacup - In some parts of the World a fair proportion of people (I forget the exact number, but perhaps anything up to a half) are infected by TB bacteria, but these just lie dormant indefinitely except in a few cases where the person's immunity is reduced by other factors such as malnutrtition or disease. Probably at least 10% of people in the UK are infected; but only a tiny fraction will ever develop active TB.

I remember the TB jabs from my schooldays. They gave you a small dose first and waited a few days to see what your reaction was. If the reaction wasn't normal you didn't get the full jab, There was one lad in my class who reacted that way.

Surely that was an inactive strain rather than "live" TB though?
