A desperate hunt is underway in Northern California: for a tuberculosis patient who has refused treatment and may be contagious, putting those around him at risk.
Prosecutors said on Thursday that they have obtained an arrest warrant for Eduardo Rosas Cruz, a 25-year-old transient.
In March, he went to the San Joaquin General Hospital’s emergency room, complaining of a severe cough. Diagnosed with tuberculosis, medical staff told him to stay in a Stockton motel room, where a health worker would deliver his medication and watch him take it. But officials say he took off.
County health officials asked prosecutors to seek the warrant, in part, because Rosas Cruz comes from a part of Mexico known for its drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis.
Tell me again how we need to just surrender our borders because think of the children or something.
All this guy needs to do is cough in the right place and we could have a big, big problem.
Wait, we do have a big, big problem. : That’s the reason he’s in this country.
