I think the fact that you do what you do is actually a bigger story..
On Topic.. the tuberculosis started in a health center where OWS protesters went. So yeah.. could very well have nothing to do with the protesters. Also it's funny when you search for it to see how many conservative websites are trying to scare protesters off with it. I'm happy to tell you guys (including neocon) that it won't work.
The home base for Occupy Atlanta has tested positive for tuberculosis.
The Fulton County Health Department confirmed Wednesday that residents at the homeless shelter where protesters have been occupying have contracted the drug-resistant disease. WGCL reports that a health department spokeswoman said there is a possibility that both Occupy Atlanta protesters and the homeless people in the shelter may still be at risk since tuberculosis is contracted through air contact.
“Over the last three months were have been two persons who have resided in this facility who have been diagnosed with confirmed or suspected infectious tuberculosis (TB),” said Fulton County Services Director Matthew McKenna in a written statement to CBS Atlanta. “One of these persons was confirmed to have a strain of TB that is resistant to a single, standard medication used to treat this condition. All person(s) identified as positive have begun treatment and are being monitored to ensure that medication is taken as directed.”

With little sleep in cold conditions, cigarettes and drinks being passed from mouth to mouth, and few opportunities to wash hands, Zuccotti Park may now just be the best place to catch respiratory viruses, norovirus (also known as the winter vomiting virus) and tuberculosis, according to one doctor.

Proof? This entire story is based on what one unnamed doktor thinks MAY happen, and what 2 random people have said.
Obvious propaganda, but people seem to love it here.
