Contagious diseases are entering the United States because of
immigrants, illegal aliens, refugees and travelers, and World Health
Organization officials say the worst could be yet to come.
In addition to a list of imported diseases that includes
tuberculosis, sickle cell anemia, hepatitis B, measles and the
potentially deadly parasitic disease Chagas, officials fear what could
happen if the avian flu, which is flourishing among poultry in
Southeast Asia, mutates so that it is capable of human-to-human
transmission through casual contact.

While the rest of this article may have some merit, I had to laugh when
I saw the above list!!!
Sickle Cell anemia is _not_ a contagious disease!
Sickle Cell is a genetic hematological disorder.....
You can't "catch" it from others!
Your child might "get" it if you breed with somebody that carries the
genes for it..... and if you carry the gene yourself! It's recessive.
