Epidemic on it's way? TB patient identified

[kiMMie]

Don't know if anyone is following this story, but it's pretty crazy and scary.

Guy flew on 7 flights (US, Europe & Canada) knowing that he had a disease that is highly contagious and unfortunately drug-resistant. Somehow he got through various security checks even though he had his profile indicated a "no fly" order due to the disease. So many people possibly infected. So careless.

The news reported last night that his dad is a microbiologist who works for the agency that looks after infectious disease cases such as this. The guy was a "personal injury lawyer." He knew better and was completely thoughtless, what a tool.

Super-TB has been incubating in Russia for some time, specifically in their prisons. Convicts come in, get a light bout of TB, are treated for the duration of their stay and then treatment is terminated when they leave. If you keep spinning that cycle you get TB that is resistant to nearly all of the known drugs & antibodies we have to battle it.

He's making a ton of excuses now.
