The likelihood is that the worst any of them will suffer will be having to take medication for some months.

Many many moons ago when I had just turned 18 I had to have a TB skin test for a job. The test came back positive.

I was put on a medication (INH?) for a year.

I had a few nasty side effects while taking it.

I informed the Dr's that I would not take any more pills after a few months of side effects.

They showed up at my door the next day with the nice policeman.

They were there to inform me that they had a (nice free room and board with a bad view) place for me to stay at for the rest of the year if I did not comply.

Getting a good scare, I complied for long miserable year.

Wise on your part.

The issue is no joke, but many people don’t realize the seriousness. And back many moons ago, there just wasn’t the public awareness.
