It’s sad to see that we haven’t wiped out the spread of Tuberculosis while we have the drugs to do it. Our window of medical technology may close, and we should do something about preventable disease now. The government doesn’t appear to have a plan that is working.
Thanks to Saskblogs for the tip on the story.

Saskatchewan is also losing population. The numbers are down yet again. In the 2001 numbers, Census Canada did such an incorrect job counting the residents of Wood Mountain, SK, it’s entirely possible that the population of Saskatchewan is no greater than 600,000 people. We don’t count the gophers, not even Gainer.
We could stand to lose two losers in Saskatoon who attacked an 81 year old for her purse. Fortunately some other bystanders cancelled out their bad deed, and a cyclist captured the pair for police. I vote we punish the pair of muggers by stuffing them full of marshmellows.
Or we could send them to Pakistan, where the fairweather foe Musharaff would downplay their Canadian theft effort. “In Pakistan, we have 500 roberies every minute, and you have what? Four or five? You don’t hear our 81 year olds whining about it either.”

Too bad that tuberculosis drug therapy is so intensive that people don’t often follow it and then have to be put in jail to make sure they take it becuase we are creating insane crazy virulent superbugs that can’t be killed by antibiotics. People don’t follow the program, there is little the government can do. I’ve heard of people being put in jail because they didnt show up to their doctors appts. Crazy stuff.
