how soon they got the mask on. how serious was this man partially treated or this person partially treated or not but they definitely should get tested, talk to their health care provider and we re not doing massive vaccinations. other countries where it is more of an issue they have done that. once you get the vaccine you always test positive for it. you have to get a chest x-ray to determine do you have active tb. it makes it more confusing. jenna: very interesting. i didn t know that about that we ll see what happens with this report. again it is only a report but passengers are telling us what they were told. right. jenna: interesting story. dr. vinokur, thank you so much. my pleasure. jon: well the hunger games: catching fire not only heatings up the box office, coming in number one over the holiday weekend it is also sparking a new interest in archery, especially when it comes to young girls who want to emulate the arrow shooting hero win.
this plane and this happened. passengers say they were told to get tested for tuberculosis after a fellow passenger was taken off the plane in a face mask on saturday. us airways only saying the man had a medical condition so we re not sure if he definitely had the disease but this is what passengers were told. tuberculosis is a contagious bacterial infection that can spread through the air. so how can we protect ourselves? let s talk about it with dr. lee vinokur, board certified e.r. physician. doctor, people in lines, planes, everywhere you go is coughing these days. this is the season for that. what do you think it was about this person that alerted medical professionals that they needed to come on the plane and take him off with a mask on? well, i believe that in this case they did know about him. it was just it took a while. the cdc and public health officials sometimes can create lists of no-fly individuals and
sniffles, colds, things like that are very common with kids. they spread germs. they re like little germ factories. they go to school, they touch everything, eat, touch their face. that is very common during flu season. you can do it up to six months and above kids can get a flu shot. jon: head s up it is probably a cold from the neck down, it is probably the flu? right. jon: all right. i ll remember that. that is good to know. harris: dr. vinokur. thank you. my pleasure. jon: there is growing concern whether north korea could be testing a nuclear weapon. remember that missile launch. what a new satellite image shows that has washington on edge

to do when the heat starts really taking a toll on your body? temperatures at or near triple digits in several states. you can see that on your screen. already 13 heat-related deaths have been reported and tens of thousands are still without power. in maryland alone, 45,000 outages. the heat wave is shattering more than 4,000 temperature records in the last 30 days. this week alone, more than 1200 records, jon, have been shattered. jon: unbelievable those numbers. what do you do to make sure you and your family are healthy and safe? let s talk about it with dr. steven patty. saint bernard hospital in the bronx. dr. lee vinokur, a e.r. doctor and adjunct professor in shreveport, louisiana. you get a lot of heat in shreveport, louisiana, but right now the whole country is feeling it, doctor. what is your best advice? people in the south a little well more acclimated
