Majority test negative in Bedok tuberculosis screening, 473 flagged for further checks​

Those who tested positive on their blood test will be required to undergo a follow-up chest X-ray to determine if they have active TB or latent TB infection, the Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA) said on Wednesday (May 13).

SINGAPORE: The majority of people tested for tuberculosis (TB) during recent screenings conducted by the Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA) in Bedok have tested negative for the disease.

A total of 3,169 people were screened for TB from May 2 to May 8, with 85.1 per cent testing negative.

The remaining 14.9 per cent, or 473 people, tested positive on their blood test and require a follow-up chest X-ray to determine if they have active TB or latent TB infection, the agency said in a media release on Wednesday (May 13).

"The vast majority of these individuals are expected to have LTBI (latent TB), which means they do not exhibit symptoms of TB, are not infectious, and therefore do not pose a public health risk," CDA said.

It added that the positivity rate of 14.9 per cent is within expectations, given the transmission clusters at three locations and the high proportion of elderly in the area.

The three locations are: Heartbeat@Bedok, Block 216 Bedok Food Centre & Market and the Singapore Pools Bedok betting centre. Thirteen genetically similar cases across these places were detected between January 2023 and February this year, prompting authorities to conduct mandatory screening for tenants and workers there.

Voluntary screening was also offered to members of the public who visited these locations for an extended period of time.

CDA noted that the prevalence of latent TB among all Singapore residents was 12.7 per cent in 2015. The prevalence of latent TB increases with age, ranging from 2 per cent among people aged between 18 and 29, to 29 per cent among those aged between 70 and 79, it added.

CDA noted that a positive blood test result does not mean a person has active TB disease.

"The blood test indicates whether a person has been exposed to the TB bacteria, and a further chest X-ray is needed to determine their actual health status," it said.

"Most are expected to have LTBI, which is not uncommon in Singaporeans."

In 2024, the Ministry of Health (MOH) noted that in about 90 per cent of people who have latent tuberculosis, the bacteria remains inactive in their body throughout their lives.

About 5 per cent of people with latent tuberculosis develop active tuberculosis within the first two years, MOH added.

The remaining 5 per cent may develop active tuberculosis sometime after two years and within their lifetime.

Relax. This is all part of the grand East Coast plan.

On another note, they should force OYK to go for testing as well.

Bedok TB's strain is the Beijing linkage - similar to the outbreak in Malaysia lately. The incubation period can be up to 80 days before showing up positive on tests.

Then for healthier infected individuals, they might only experience will full blown symptoms 6-18 months later.

There is no such thing as incubation lol
Please stop spreading misinformation

Real science can be measured, tested, demonstrated repeatedly.

Fake science can’t and fake science is about belief

Test kits usually produce a lot of false positives

There is a need to stop those germ theory nonsense as it will lead one to make life and death decisions due to wrong understanding of causation which we know it was correlation

It was the germ theory nonsense that leads to high percentage of vaccinations during Covid-19

Sheeple understand science wrongly

Modern medical doctors practice made to believe science aka pseudoscience to push their pharmaceutical agenda onto their victims

 

[Truthspeak]

Sheeple lean more towards germ theory because they do not want to admit that they were vaccinated due to their wrong understanding of science. They want to believe that they made the right decisions because there were indeed microbes around which in reality, there were none

There were no viruses in existence

Sheeple were vaccinated for something that never existed in reality, only existed in the fake stream media

They pak those PCB garbage zhams and boosters and follow rules and regulations without questioning is because of their low intelligence. Isn't that right Dr. Jessica Ee if she is reading this this post that is??? KNN this biatch discriminated the unvax 9696 during the plandemic while sitting high up on her high horse and and let's not forget that moron Mr Brown on YouTube calling the unvax chao turtles and stupid and sing about how good the garhmen is by supplying us with free zhams. That kind of explains why that Mr Brown got a special needs dotter and probably not even know that those childhood zhams are the probable cause for his lifetime misery.

Talking about childhood vaccines like BCG. As TB doesn’t affect babies and young adults, many would “believe” BCG vaccines help. The reality is cells degeneration only affects the older people. But sheeple would never think why TB then only affect aging adults

They only think the vaccine helps lol

They have no idea how the “scam” works
