6. what i don't understand about him is that
he said he understood he'd be going through a LONG time of isolation and treatments, and decideded he'd just throw caution to the wind, and go to Italy anyway.... at least that is what he said at first (per.the media)
If he didn't think this TB was such a big deal, why wouldn't he just get it taken care of first??? Also, i had to get tested for TB everytime i took jobs that required close work with children- in school, camp, etc. The govt. has routinely been kind of anal about it- i guess for reasons just like this-

A friend of mine got hired on by the Post Office about 10 yrs ago, and they required a TB test, which came back positive, then they made him get an x-ray which came back with more suspicious results- as it turned out, he didn't have TB at all, but they sure put him through a lot of hoops to make sure he was NOT sick, or a carrier.

Something is really off about this whole incident- I don't like the weirdness on either side-

:shrug:

peace,
blu
