He's even worked out a little story about how he was afraid he wouldn't get treatment if he didn't sneak back into the U.S. Nice try. Clearly he should have been handcuffed when he landed in France.

I wondeer if he has (had) any assets...Boy the lawyers are going to be out on this....

[Lancey Howard]

[Lazamataz]

Kill him.

‘This is insane to me that I have an armed guard outside my door

Did this idiot tell the person he was marrying of his condition? He’s lucky someone who he’s infected doesn’t put a bullet in his head and end the chances of infecting anyone else. That’s disease control!

I wondeer if he has (had) any assets...Boy the lawyers are going to be out on this....

I was wondering the same thing. This guy's an attorney, and he didn't see this coming? What an idiot. And he deserves every lawsuit he gets.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Julie Gerberding

“Is the patient himself highly infectious? Fortunately, in this case, he’s probably not,” Gerberding said.

And you think this guy should be murdered? Nice.

He told the newspaper he was afraid that if he didn't get back to the U.S., he wouldn't get the treatment he needed to survive.

He flew through a couple of countries with socialized medicine - yet he thought the best health care was in America....hmmmmm.

[Lijahsbubbe]

I've co-operated with everything other than the whole solitary-confinement-in-Italy thing."

I guess he considers exposing people on his return flight cooperation. He deserves an @SS kickin'.

[Lazamataz]

And you think this guy should be murdered? Nice.

Well, in my defense, I do think he should be tortured first.

Good point. Paging Hillie and the rest of the 'Rats...

[Cinnamon Girl]

He LEFT the country with the best health care to fly around because he wanted to.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Then again, disease-ridden illegals come across the border unexamined every day. Sigh. My head hurts.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Maybe this will wake some people up about the serious problem of illegal immigration.

when he boarded the jets from Atlanta to Paris, and later from Prague to Montreal

OK, folks. How did he get from Paris to Greece to Rome to the Czech Republic? While a car is techincally possible, it is highly unlikely. (Last few times I rented in Europe, there was a ban on taking the car into former east-bloc countries, for example).

Second question. How did the CDC track him down in Rome? Perhaps the CIA should be abolished and their functions put under the CDC.

[SF Republican]

Thats just because you are so reasonable, measured, and mature.

[TChris]

This guy should be locked away or executed. That kind of crap is reckless in the extreme.

[Recon Dad]

You forgot the rest of the quote.

But the other piece is this bacteria is a very deadly bacteria. We just have to err on the side of caution.”

I said if he infected someone of the hundreds of people he came in contact with, I myself would harbor a bit of animosity towards someone knowing he had this still went out and mingled with the general public.
This is not a case of his being unaware of his condition it is a case of his not giving a s**t about his fellow man.

“Is the patient himself highly infectious? Fortunately, in this case, he’s probably not,” Gerberding said.”

If not infectious why was he ordered into solitary confinement in Italy, put on the no-fly list and now in quarantine? I noticed you left out Gerberding’s recommendation!

“But the other piece is this bacteria is a very deadly bacteria. We just have to err on the side of caution.”

[smartymarty]

Do you think CDC knows how HE GOT THE DISEASE?
