| #3 Officials in Baltimore have lifted an evacuation order after clearing people out of two medical research buildings due to tuberculosis contamination. Kim Hoppe, a spokeswoman with Johns Hopkins Medicine, said Thursday that a small sample of frozen tuberculosis was "inadvertently released" in an internal bridge between two cancer research buildings that don't connect to the hospital. |
