Quarantine making comeback in SARS era
By MELISSA HEALY Los Angeles Times
Monday, April 21, 2003
For five passengers aboard an American Airlines flight from Tokyo
this month, it was a dilemma worthy of reality television: Go with
Santa Clara County, Calif., health authorities and risk being held in
quarantine for hours -- maybe days -- for no good reason. Or go home,
make the next connection or get to that business meeting, and risk
spreading a potentially deadly new disease to family, fellow
passengers and business associates.
Emergency vehicles had the aircraft surrounded, and across the ...
