Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.
Fairfax County, Virginia is the scene of an outbreak of tuberculosis at Lee High School.
The health department says 430 people have been contacted to be tested as a result of exposure to three people confirmed to have contracted TB. The health officials would not say if the infected were students or teachers but said that everyone who needed to be tested has been notified.
Officials could also not confirm the strain of tuberculosis.
If not treated quickly, tuberculosis can be fatal. The disease usually attacks the lungs and is spread through sneezing and coughing.
Officials said that most cases of tuberculosis come from overseas due to the number of immigrant families in the community.
