Let me guess, the CIA is doing field testing in Africa again.

....the disease thrives when immune systems are weakened by H.I.V. At least two in three South African TB sufferers are H.I.V. positive. One pandemic cancelling out another.

So, does this mean that U.S. taxpayers have to pony up another $8 billion to combat TB in Africa like we've done to fight AIDS?

Well, we'd better throw 40 billion dollars at this, as we have with AIDS. That's sure to stop it in it's tracks! /s

My question also.
Would make more sense to impose a quarantine.

"So, does this mean that U.S. taxpayers have to pony up another $8 billion to combat TB in Africa like we've done to fight AIDS?" I thought GWB gave $15 billion.

The reason it's so deadly is because the only people it infects are those who have already acquired AIDS.
To: blam
More diversity hardship visas needed. /sarc

"Coming soon to a civilized country near you." Stay out of SF, huh?

Would make more sense to impose a quarantine. Sadly, these days, there's so much concern for indiviuals *rights* that people would scream bloody murder if you infringed on their *rights* to freely associate and do what ever they felt like, even if they ended up killing someone by infecting them. So much for the right of the rest of us to live a life free of the fear of being killed by some selfish slobs inconsideration.
