NYC's Department of Health detained
NYC's Department of Health detained a foreign tourist against his will for 10 days b/c they suspected he had SARS. Only the second time in 25 years that has happened. Explanation: "your right to cough and sneeze on someone else ends when you have a dangerous communicable disease and you cannot be isolated otherwise." Well, I'm glad to see that NY'ers rights to sneeze and cough on people under ordinary circumstances has been affirmed. [nyt]
