Hmmm. This is a good question. Has anyone checked @KatHarzso’s papers over at SBBH?

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!

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.
