....as well as passengers sitting in the same rows as the man or two roses in front or behind, according to the World Health Organization.

I don't know why that makes me chuckle. I guess at this point I'm looking for anything that will make me laugh.

When my children were little, we lived in the DC area. They were all given the TB test. (same as you describe) Living in Georgia, they do not require the test. I don’t know why. Maybe they might re start the process, if the number of serious cases begins to rise.

LOL! I didn’t spot that, and apparently, no else did before you. That’s what spot editing is for. ;-) It almost sounds like Gollum-speak.

I realize....thankfully, after the fact...that this woman wasn't infected with a life threatening illness...

..but it was still derelict to seat her with a passenger.

They should have put her in a jumpseat with the stewardess next to the bathroom!....She threw up the WHOLE time.
How would you feel....especially if you had no idea IF she was contagious or not.

And now we have this tuberculin passenger!

Yes I know it started before him. It is his job to protect our borders. He doesn’t seem to think so. His real job, that he didn’t campaign on, is doing the globalist sell out patriotic Americans won’t do. What is up to now is the abandonment of Americans for cheap labor. And where is the national guard being sent?

Yes, but I think scientists are still investigating whether they actually cause hepatitis or not.

Interesting that Hawaii is as bad as Mexifornia. Wonder what the third world immigration rate is there and who they are?
I always appreciate the information and pics you post.

The patient flew from Atlanta to Paris on May 12, arriving on May 13, on Air France Flight 385. He returned to the United States on May 24, on Czech Air Flight 410, from Prague to Montreal.

Not to hijack the thread, but...

What a peculiar itinerary. Leave from Atlanta, return to Montreal and drive back to Atlanta? Why not just fly back into Atlanta?

Was there some reason this person could not fly directly back to the United States?

Thanks for the article, Pyro.

To all of you tinfoil-hat-wearing kookburgers, just shove off.

Chances are this is just some poor guy (a fellow American citizen) who was just doing business, had a piece of awful luck, and is possibly going to die a horrible death from it.

Don’t shame us with a lot of pointless babble about evil plot and Mexicans.

I have to suspect that this person could not get past Customs and Enforcement at an airport because his passport is wonky. We don’t know where he went from Prague before returning. The story says he is a U.S. citizen, but who knows.

“The infected patient traveled on two trans-Atlantic air flights and in doing so, may have exposed passengers and crew to the infection.”

no kidding. and what about all the people who were exposed to this man BEFORE he left to fly to Paris...for the 12 days between Paris and Prague, and from Canada until he arrived in Atlanta?

Wasn't there recent squawlikng about a guy who came in from Eastern Europe with this, and was put in jail for being non-compliant with meds and wearing a mask?

The ninnies were all up in arms about infringing on his civil rights, when the jerk was wandering around while highly infectious...and he wouldn't promise to take proper care, so they threw him in the hospital ward of a jail?

No kidding that is one of the busiest airports in the country. If you wanted to do some damage, then Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas Ft Worth, or LAX would all be prime locations. God I hope this is isolated.
