Quarantine order for 1st time in 40 years

A man with multiple-drug resistant tuberculosis traveled to Europe for his honeymoon. This is bad because his TB is resistant to both first line and second line medicine.

The man with TB knowingly flew to Europe and he may have infected other people with his heard to treat strain of tuberculosis.

TB is easily spread thru the air. It is a killer that is resposible for millions of deaths every year.
