Chicago outbreak

From the Daily Herald;

The health department plans on screening 200 homeless people every two months for tuberculosis, starting Wednesday with a screening at Hesed House, 659 S. River St. The federal government is kicking in more than $184,000 in grant money passed on by the Illinois Department of Public Health to assist the county in battling the outbreak. However, that won't be enough to cover the costs of the blood tests, X-rays and quarantine housing needed to diagnose and treat people who have contracted the infection.

Has to be better than a poke in the eye with the proverbial burnt stick?
