I agree.

I have a friend who has a similar job as helpmes', only for the State. I think he spends most of his time driving from county health department to county health department checking their records and such. I know he gets involved at times in individual outbreaks, and helps track down individuals and coerces them to be tested. For that, he was nicknamed Columbo. He says the worst cases are finding out a dad infected a child or an uncle gave it to his niece.

As far as I know there is no porn industry in our State so his job wouldn't be nearly as exciting.
