Wonderful…
A man with a rare and exceptionally dangerous form of tuberculosis may have spread the disease to passengers and crew on two trans-Atlantic flights earlier this month, federal health officials said Tuesday.
The Centers for Disease Control urged people on the same flights to get checked for the infection.
The infected man flew from Atlanta to Paris on May 12 aboard Air France Flight 385. He returned to the United States on May 24 aboard Czech Air Flight 410 from Prague to Montreal.
The man then drove into the United States. He is hospitalized, in respiratory isolation, according to the World Health Organization.
They seem to know what flights he took, but who did he come in contact with before, in-between, and after those flights? The tuberculosis rate in the United States may be dropping but that doesn't make me feel any better.
