TB Scare

Big to do over the last few days about this one. One of the many things troubling about this is the border guard who allowed this guy back into the US from Canada. The reason given by the guard "he didn't look sick." He thought the message was an advisory. What's that old line from the commercial: I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV. Well the guard didn't even play one on TV. One can only wonder what would have happened if this guy had been a terrorist.

It calls into question what can be done if and when authorities think that someone is at risk os spreading a disease. It also begs the question where the hell did the guy contract the stuff.

I hope he has a speedy recovery.
