A good warning of what? it doesn't matter what airline it is or whether it is a child or an adult; if information has been passed to a group such as medlink and that organisation recommends that a passenger be checked before being permitted to travel , the same issue will apply

Emirates, in my view.
Since they have no obligation to provide anything extra, then it is not reasonable to expect more than what they are obligated to provide. That is where travel insurance comes in; if a passenger chooses not to take out insurance then they are self-insuring and it is up to them to allow for it

when someone doesn't return for one week , that suggests to me that they are not overly interested in what a forum has to say once the rant is complete
