104. TB guy actually left for Europe 2 days early.
Edited on Wed Jun-06-07 05:51 PM by lizzy
He has active TB. Active TB is contagious (it's common knowledge). He is not highly contagious but contagious nonetheless, although he claims he was told he was not at all contagious. He is admitting Drs. told him they preferred he did not fly. Drs. did not have authority to actually prevent him from flying (maybe that should change).
He also knew he had MDR-TB before he went to Europe.
While in Europe he found he actually had XDR-TB, which is more dangerous than MDR-TB, he was told not to fly back to US, but flew anyway.
Hard for me to see how all of this is government's fault.
