only two rows? wasn’t the air circulated?
This country learned its lesson from Mary Mallon...(a.k.a,Typhoid Mary).You'll stay in isolation until you're declared cured and not a second before.Even if it means you spend the rest of your life there.
the Chinese trying to poison us again?
So what you're saying, you elitist bastard, is that only not-very-well-educated, "unsuccessful," and not-so-intelligent -- all measured by your standards -- should have the armed guards at their doors, right?
The breakdown of society is no respecter of privilege.
I understand his fear but he could have come back by private transportation under respiratory isolation. There was no need to risk infecting people all over the world.
This is how Ebola spread in its last major outbreak...on a plane. Some guy was sick with it but didn’t know what it was and went on a plane to a hospital. While he was vomiting the virus particles were spewed into the air and everyone else breathed them in and got sick.
And their contacts???
He'd better be RICH, too, because oh brother, is he gonna get sued.
With all those plane trips he'd better be.
And if his family knew the guy shouldn't be flying, I'd add them to the list of folks to be sued.
no, but they should, and his photo.
Good. The system worked.
Perhaps his new bride insisted on the trip, he really did not want to go, but she had all these big plans and nagged him about it, he felt guilty, so he did it to please her. Yep, it’s her fault.

That is what I thought.
TB is a respiratory infection......it is transmitted in every way that other respiratory infections are transmitted.
While CDC’s statements may be factually correct, they are entirely lacking in honesty by the deliberately limited scope of them.
just for starters, think handshakes, doorknobs, walking down the aisle, etc etc
I wonder if the new wife has realized she just married one of the most self centered men on the planet?
If his wife is TB negative, then it bode wells for the rest considering they were on their honeymoon.
If I understand correclty, you have to actually inhale the bacteria. So handshakes, doorknobs, etc. aren’t an issue. And the exposure has to be over a period of time. DHS and the CDC got lucky with this one. Hopefully they’ll get the bugs worked out of their response before something worse comes along.
