Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
The whole thing was a racket. No net change, so we tabled it.
Allllllriiiiiight...enough of this little back and forth, back and forth...

I can understand that while all this was happening he couldn't be legally restrained,
Probably not likely with the FIL having repeatedly negative skin tests and chest x-rays, if he is to be believed. Believe it or not, TB is actually pretty hard to transmit except under the "right" conditions -- droplet exposure from someone with active disease, couging up bugs. On the other hand, FIL's line of work is pretty coincidental, healthy young people who have not visited affected areas internationally don't often get this, so we may not have heard the last of it.Given the fact that the FIL worked with the resistant TB it seems to me that there should have been a presumption that he contracted the resistant type until proven otherwise.
Possible but it is not likely for it to spread that way; almost always droplet-born.As other have mention the bug may have escaped on FIL's clothing and infected the groom.
Takes a couple months to develop immunity after BCG, so too late for the current exposures. Plus, BCG can make you have a positive skin test for a few years, so you'd lose that method of surveillance. Complicated.Hard to know if those exposed to the groom would benefit from the BCG vaccine at this point. We don't use it in the US, I suspect, because our TB rate is so low and there are always risks to vaccines. But, with the advent of this drug resistant variety maybe that policy should be reconsidered.
Are you kidding? This guy will now run for the Senate ... probably NY...I bet that there are already 200 novels, 500 screen plays, and a tell-all or two already underway over this one. Ugh.

Ironically, one of the few groups in the US who are advised to take BCG is scientists who come in to contact with extensively resistant strains.
... Not to mention a few juicy lawsuits, especially regarding the blatant defiance over sneaking in through Canada. Ugh.
There are both individual and systemic issues here.
I think that's just a disguise & her wish to not be recognized. That mask doesn't look too affective.since she is at least covering her face
Good point.I think that's just a disguise & her wish to not be recognized. That mask doesn't look too affective.
If just one person in the lab gets too comfortable (aka, sloppy) in that environment very bad things can happen.
That mask doesn't look too affective.
That's just your backhanded way of spinning it to prove your point.
I think we've reached the endline of this match. Perhaps I'll rally a bit and lob one more comment before we table the matter.
