With the detection of the new strain of TB, making its presence felt, how safe are people presently?
Apparently, and defiantly, we have no chance in hell, because it is impending fatality on the victim. Yes, we know those with HIV/AIDS, are most vulnerable to this mutated killer virus – XDR.
What do we need to do to avoid this disease, and help those with normal TB, to get information, and extra help? The health authorities must have information and clinics as well as care organizations in order that this “XDR” does not grip this town in an anaconda like vice.
Pamphlets, A4 pages or posters across the board can quell ignorance like wildfire. Our hospitals in conjunction with civilians and businesses can start a trend. Rise to the occasion, be aware; vigilant and informed!
