TB and pertussis are transmitted by short-range aerosols. If you wall off the infected on one side, the people on the other will be fine if they don't stand too close.
This is actually a really good example for what relaxed borders and checks, or no borders at all will lead to, because when the laws on pet travel changed, which were to guard against rabies and such like diseases, the act of transporting animals and the checks that were made (or not, as the case was) meant that it became easier to sneak animals across borders illegally. The old rules were much tougher and it wasn't anywhere near the problem it now is. Way to go guys!

Irony is when your cat HATES you, though you are, IN FACT, the BEST thing for that cat.

Fuck no, unlike muds cats are quite and can be subtel + Burka it makes them Ninjas with an attitude.
True facts: my great grandmother died because, when she was going to come visit my grandma she was required by Canadian law to get some sort of immunization before she could come into the country from the Netherlands. She was either allergic to the shots or it triggered something she already had. Nowadays we let whoever in, whatever brown piece of shit we drag in from the most 3rd world of countries, no disease checks or nothing. It is pretty galling.

The fuck?!?! Thats some heavy shit, usually if you travel around modern countries you don't need any shots, because duh shit like TB is was a non issue by the time flying was for the masses.

YES EU, you are 100% correct - diseases do not respect borders - like the disease of the un-elected Jews in Brussels who violate European sovereignty on a daily basis, and the diseases known as muslims from Africa & the middle east don't respect borders either.
Entirely correct.
