February 28, 2013 I have to say this is the strangest thing I have ever written. It’s like a piece of cotton candy, it all kind of sticks together but there is nothing at its core…
The CDC (http://www.cdc.gov) (Center for Disease Control) has sent scientists to Los Angeles to try and find out where the current outbreak of tuberculosis started, and to try an isolate those affected by it before the outbreak becomes widespread. They have so far identified some 4650 people who have been exposed.
The outbreak is believed to have started in Skid Row and shelters are urging the homeless to get tested. TB is not limited to the homeless and the hard up however, and with downtown LA attracting visitors to its cheap hotels there are fears that the outbreak will spread.
The Cecil Hote (http://www.thececilhotel.com)l is one such place where the cheap rates and no reservation needed policy makes it attractive to visitors. The Cecil though has a few secrets it may not want to tell its guests about.
... [lots of stuff happened at the Cecil over the years]
Moving forward to this month, the decomposing body of Elisa Lam (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2282629/Elisa-Lam-Canadian-tourists-autopsy-inconclusive.html) was found in a water tank at the Cecil. Guests staying at the hotel had complained about dark colored tainted water coming out of their faucets.
The 2005 movie “Dark Water” (http://movies.about.com/od/darkwater/a/darkwater070705.htm) centers around a hotel where a decomposing body is found in the water tank. The name of the main character is Dahlia and her daughters name is Cecilia.
As for the TB cases, where do they fit into all this? Well, the test being used to check for the disease is the Lam Elisa test. (http://www.mmrp.org/projects/clinical-trials/diagnostics-medical-devices/rapid-antigen-detection.html)
