I am really an authoritarian when it comes to public health. More diseases should be reportable, including HIV, and hospitals and doctors should get severe sanctions if they fail to report. Depts. of public health should be better funded, and a field worker should see to it that every bum who is being treated for TB is really being treated.
Jail for failure to comply or playing hard to get, just like the guy in Phoenix. People get jail for things a lot less likely to cause important trouble for others.

My father went into a TB sanatorium when he was 14 years old and came out when he was 20. Back in the 1930s, when this occurred, you knew what you had to do and did it. This goes back to Fliptresses discussion of duty.
There is another guy in the Maricopa County jail who is locked up until his TB treatment is over since he would not comply otherwise.

Find out what firm he's with. Real 'good' decision making abilities on this one....How ironic is it that this clown is a PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER! His website is currently unavailable, but I found some cached stuff from his firm, like that he deals with car accidents, product liability, wrongful death. maybe he should add a new specialty for victims are suffering emotional distress and possible medical issues from needlessly being exposed to TB in an airplane!
