WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

The South African department of health must intensify security at all tuberculosis treatment centres and hospitals to control the spread of infection, the Democratic Nursing Organisation of South Africa (Denosa) said on Tuesday.
118 drug-resistant TB patients escaped last month:
This follows the department of health’s announcement that about 118 Extreme Drug Resistant (XDR) and Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) TB patients escaped from two hospitals in the Eastern Cape last month. Previous figures released by the same department claimed that ‘only’ some 40 patients had escaped.
On Tuesday, the department claims, seven TB patients were still unaccounted for.
“It is disturbing to learn that up to now there are still patients who have not come back because patients in all TB hospitals and clinics were given health education on how infectious TB is. MDR AND XDR TB are worse,” Denosa said in a statement.
It said it was concerned that these patients were endangering themselves and exposing their relatives and the general public to the deadly TB infection — which is practically untreatable with existing drugs.
“Patients were aware that they should be in total isolation from the broader public and must be on continuous treatment for a long period in order to be cured.” XDR TB and MDR TB are spread easily — by coughing or sneezing the bacillii into the air.
Denosa said it was positive that the department did get a court order to force these patients to return to hospital to continue their treatment and that it also had publicly issued calls for relatives and community leaders to take the infected patients back to hospitals immediately.
Department spokesman Siyanda Manana insisted that the number of missing XDR-TB patients in the province had now ben reduced to seven – one from Fort Grey TB-hospital, and six from Jose Pearson TB hospital.
He said the department would continue searching until all the patients had returned to the hospitals.
TRADITIONAL LEADERS…
The department and ‘traditional leaders’ embarked on a door-to-door search for the missing patients last week.
Manana said relatives who had symptoms such as sweating, tiredness, loss of appetite and persistent coughing were urged to go to their nearest clinics for a screening.
He claims that said the department had strengthened security in both hospitals.
However SA has more than 45 specialist-TB hospitals countrywide. – Sapa
