The woman, whose name has not been released, was reportedly diagnosed with multidrug-resistant TB while in India and was being treated for the disease before she returned to the Bay Area on Dec. 13. "She was sick when she got on her airplane,"

If it isn't, this should be criminal

Given the twisted agenda of the MSM, if this lady was an illegal from Mexico the story of her illness would be deliberately buried. What we hear is lies, but it’s also what we don’t hear that should concern us.

Because of the recycled air on an airplane, wouldn’t that put all passengers at risk?

She was diagnosed with the drug resistant TB in India, and was undergoing treatment for it there.

Don’t thermal scanners catch people with an illness, at airports?

The woman had to have violated public health laws - she should be arrested and her name made public. THIS is why we need immigration laws.

If this person is an immigrant she should be stripped of citizenship or green card and evicted from America.

Of course there is chance this might be some native born hippie or some such visiting India. They also need stern prosecution

“..scrambling to find any people with whom she may have come into close contact.”

Start with her fellow passengers, custom authorities and work your way down to her local grocery store.

Jeez, back in the 50’s all prospective immigrants received a full physical at the American Consulate in their country of origin which included X-rays, blood tests and a meeting with a psychologist to see if the applicant would have difficulty integrating in American society.

I forgot, those were the days that our political leaders loved their country and were mostly interested in the quality rather than the quantity of immigrants.

My voice teacher has mentioned how easy it is to catch a respiratory bug on airplanes, but I don't think she quite had this in mind!

If this woman was aware of the gravity of her illness, she should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. How bloody unconcerned can you get?

Her name should be published far and wide. Other people are at risk of catching it and transmitting it before they know they have it.

"World Health Organization guidelines call for people with multidrug-resistant TB to avoid commercial air travel until lab tests show they are noninfectious,
but that doesn't always happen."


I suspect that it will never be REALLY enforced.
Too many wealthy/powerful politicians, generals and despots always
want to be able to catch a plane ride to the USA, England, France
or Germany to get real medical assitance.
Not just for drug-resistant TB.
