TB case highlights the enemy within
31/05/07 Filed in: Science
Mothers get chastised for sending their flu-riddled children to school and infecting classmates. Air passengers are being made to jump through hoops to prove they aren't terrorists. Just the word anthrax sends shivers through the media. So why is it that the dick head who locked himself inside not one, but two airplanes, and filled the recycled air supply with virulent TB, is not being prosecuted, or at least publicly hung drawn and quartered?
The Government spokesperson said the diseased traveler had exercised his public responsibility and decided to travel despite his condition and advices. Uh, what is that about? The guy may have had extenuating circumstances, but in the scheme of things, he is an irresponsible idiot at best and a mortal threat to his fellow countrymen at worst.
They say he never broke any laws. Perlease, you are telling me that you can be prosecuted for crossing a street in the wrong spot, and if you give someone HIV deliberately you are a criminal, but it isn't illegal to "accidentally" infect your fellows with TB?
With all the resources now being applied to this incident, the authorities could have saved a fortune and face by chartering a private jet for the guy and flown him around on his honeymoon plan trips in his own filtrated tent. Best of luck with the removal of infected lung, pal. Pray that the doctor doesn't believe in euthanasia.
Mad world.
