Here's a little new article about the guy who smuggled him self and wife into the US while infected with an untreatable form of TB.
9 people file lawsuit against TB flyer - Yahoo! News

Gives more info about antibiotic resistant strains.
Also, today a man was transfered from an Arizona prison, where he had been confined for disobeying medical and police order to wear a mask in public, has been transered to a Hospital in Colorado.
Seems to me Doc Holiday died there from TB.
This isn't a joke. The US had elimated Smallpox and TB as dieases here. Now, with the over use of antibiotics and travel around the world new strains of these old dieases are being re-introduced into the world population.
