Like everyone else, I read about this case in the newspapers. He was given advice, he was told not to travel, or it was suggested that he not travel. Do you think mere advice is reasonable in a case like this, given that the disease is transmitted from person to person? My doctor can tell me not to go swimming because the water is polluted and it is dangerous for my health, but I can say that he never told me that.
Should we have a mechanism that would notify the patient, in writing, of how dangerous he or she is? Ultimately, a person is responsible for transmitting this disease from one person to another, if the person is not vigilant. Could we implement a mechanism that would provide written proof of the discussion with a doctor?
A person who has been infected can say that he or she was never notified, and was simply given advice. The person does not even acknowledge that he or she may be a potential danger.
This case sounds an alarm.
