Does anyone have experience on how things are handled when it comes to communicable diseases on flights back into the US?
Coworker's kid apparently got what looks to be the chicken pox (or maybe measles) in the Philippines and became symptomatic right around when they attempted to fly back.
So how long if any does that delay her? Will they want her to stay put for like 21 days waiting for the disease to clear?

There's chicken pox and measles here

would this kid not have gotten an immunization at a very early age? I know mine did
I guess I am asking, are they sure it is chicken pox/measles?

I'm getting very disjointed info.
The very first thing we heard was measles, and I was going wtf how? The kid should have vaccinations. That's when chicken pox came up.
Chicken pox is not part of the standard immunizations.
Hence the question: will an airline allow an obviously sick passenger board their plane?

No.
The kid just became symptomatic and it is 3-4 days before expected departure.
Chicken pox is actually my guess after hearing some of the symptoms

If it is, it's new.
I had to go out of my way to get the chicken pox vaccine at 18 because I had never gotten either the disease or vaccine.

How would the airline know?

The concern isn't US customs.
It's airline liability.
What do you think will happen if you stick someone with a highly contaigious illness in a plane that happens to contain an immuncompromised individual and the guy dies as a result?
Or what if the sick person takes a major turn for the worse dead center of the Pacific?

Hell no, and that's not just for international travel. You could be flying from MSY to IAH and if you show signs of chickenpox they won't let you on that plane.

I looked on delta's website but could not find anything.

That's what I figured.
Which leads to the second question: do they just need to wait till the kid is not obviously symptomatic or will they go on some kind of list telling them to wait 21 or some odd days.

it could have been an extra shot. I probably thought they did not have enough that day

Filipinas fetishize white dudes. Tell him to hang out there for a bit. He could probably bang 2 Filipinas a day if he wanted.

Should have been. The CDC recommends it.

I'd call the airline and see what their rules are. I wouldn't imagine it being a problem to fly if the chickenpox has started healing and is scabbing over. I would definitely call though because I'm pretty sure it's an airline specific rule.
