Tacoma Tuberculosis Tammy is in custody and in a negative-pressure room!

(my name for her, somewhat euphonious if long)

She was taken into custody a couple of days ago without incident, transported to jail in a vehicle with isolated air systems, and put into a cell/treatment room with a negative-pressure air system.

The article implies that she still has the option of not being treated, but as she is in defiance of a court order, I would imagine that she will be held until she complies.

Yay, at least she won't be out infecting people by simply existing. (Unlike queer folks, I might add.)
