There's too much to really say on this situation so I just posted the link to the AJC newspaper.

Well, I'll say a couple of things, the CDC(Central for Disease Control) knew that the man who originally had the drug resistance virus , was walking around this city and going to and from Europe for his wedding since January. Why they decide to quarantined him now, he doesn't know. He has been undergoing treatment so they knew he had the virus from the beginning.

The CDC is working with airlines to contact passengers who took two transatlantic flights — a May 12 Air France flight from Atlanta to Paris and a May 24 Czech Air flight from Prague to Montreal — to alert them that they may have been exposed to extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis.

1. I saw that on the news and it scared the piss out of me
2. Why was that guy such a dumbass that he wanted to risk creating a global plague just because he wasn't willing to end his vacation early

they didn't know he had it until afterwards.....he was to be quarantiened in Italy, but ran.

I read that the CDC already knew that he had the drug resistant TB.
What they later found out was that he a had an extreme, rare form of it.


It might not say that in the link I posted above, although, I don't see why it wouldn't but,
I read it in the newspaper today and yesterday.

What sucks is this a-hole knew he shouldnt be riding around in an airtight AIRPLANE where the chances of contracting a disease of any kind jump to 80%

Wot a joik.

Oh I know!
I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you have a contagious disease like TB, you shouldn't be on a plane!!
On a plane, the air just circulates, its not like the passengers are getting constant fresh air or anything.
Thats one of the reason why they banned smoking on flights.
