Three points I looked up to further my  understanding was hand, foot and mouth disease because I was not familiar with it and it interested me. In my research I  found that it was spread easily and is common today-credible in health studies. I looked up Dark Winter to advance my understanding of the article. Through this search I found that the threat of biological weapons is very much an active threat and the US must be prepared, whether through vaccinations or research into global data on sickness. I finally looked up TB DOTS.  I found that it was a strategy to stop the spread of a TB epidemic: through attacking it quickly with a cure to those infected.. It also supported the article’s idea of global health security.

Three ways the document is supported is using the history of France is allowing dieased immigrants into the country- none at all, with some exception and then applying a protocol. The article is also supported through using doctors and their perspective on the immigrants- not caring, wanting to follow the law or being compassionate. The last way is this article is supported is through claims filed by the immigrants themselves-whether they were completely legitimate in their reasons, had medical records falsified or their identity falsified- and the overall effects on the country.
