TB patient angry at being held under guard
I am sure you have heard about the guy with the resistant strain of TB that was flying on a plane from Europe to Montreal. This guy should be locked up indefinately. He obviously has no respect or concern about any other human being on this planet. He was told not to travel and he was aware of the kind of TB he had. Not to mention he is a Personal injury lawyer.....how dumb is this guy.
Then he has the balls to complain that they have confined him to a hospital room. This guy should be charged with 20 counts of criminal negligence.
Man I hate some people.

ATLANTA - One thing is clear about the honeymooner who put airline passengers at risk of getting an especially dangerous strain of tuberculosis: He can't claim ignorance.
Andrew Speaker had doctor's warnings against flying, and as a personal injury lawyer, he presumably knew about the dangers of reckless behavior.
But most amazingly, Speaker has a new father-in-law with a vast knowledge of the disease that Speaker carried aboard two trans-Atlantic flights.
The father-in-law is Bob Cooksey, a microbiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention specializing in TB and other bacteria. Cooksey says he gave his 31-year-old son-in-law some "fatherly advice" when he learned the young man had contracted the disease.
