After one student was diagnosed with TB by University Health Services at UC Berkeley, 225 students and faculty had to be screened for the virus infection, which they say cannot be passed through brief or casual contact. This of course leads us to wonder: Who was this slut with the TB?
UPDATE: Our bad. TB is, as a vigilant commenter points out, a bacterial infection and not a virus. As for the casual contact thing, tell the Chronicle or University Health officials... we're just quoting them.

TB is not a virus! Tuberculosis is a pulmonary bacterial infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. And it CAN be spread by casual and brief contact, such as coughing.
