Question hmm 12 monkeys scenario anyone?

So a sick person with a contagiuos disease/infection gets on board a place and spreads it to other carriers and they get off and spread it to other carriers...

Looks like something like this happend with TB recently. Guy is in the hospital now. Hope you weren't on this flight

Its TB. Contagious but not 12 monkey level.

However, that is one of my all time favorite movies.

That guy could kill someone like me, I'm immunosuppressed due to my liver transplant. Yes, I don't like to fly because of it, there's just too much risk of getting sick in that closed environment.
