I just got through reading this. This story actually started over 2 years ago and what I find alarming is it’s only news now. The story ends with the state of Florida spending half a million to cure this man. An man who was sick for weeks and maybe months before he finally went to the doctor. So Lord knows how many people this man may have infected. The doctor points out it’s an issue of national security to treat everyone and I agree- but it’s an issue of national security to prevent people like this from entering the country in the first place. The article states he came here to learn English so he may have been here on a student visa (as opposed to illegal), but anyone coming from countries that are known disease risks should be screened. It’s idiotic to screen an immigrant or refugee but not temporary visa holders.
Before the 1980s people were screened before they were allowed in. If someone had a public disease, TB and other infectious diseases they were not allowed...then along came a self inflicted disease named HIV-AIDS it became a political football and today we suffer for it. Being PC is not allway correct or good for the country.
