ATLANTA (AP) - The father-in-law of the tuberculosis patient under the first federal quarantine since 1963 works in a CDC laboratory aimed at preventing the disease and has co-authored papers on tuberculosis.
Bob Cooksey said he gave his son-in-law Andrew Speaker "fatherly advice" when he learned he had contracted the disease. Speaker has a rare and dangerous form of tuberculosis that has proved resistant to drugs.

What are the odds?
Bob Cooksey said he gave his son-in-law Andrew Speaker “fatherly advice” when he learned he had contracted the disease.
Here is a link to the law firm website with a picture of the disease-carrying personal injury lawyer. You have to let it load and then scroll down.

I wonder what the FIL knew and when he knew it?
Maybe that wasn't the first thing he gave him.
Did he tell him not to fly to Europe for marriage and honeymoon? BTW lawyer Andrew may have infected relatives over in Greece. If he visited any.
How about the Fulton County Health Department, did he talk with them, too, I wonder?
First report was this guy looked healthy and normal, so hopefully he isn't very contagious and didn't infect anyone.
Huh? So did he graduate from Annapolis, was he kicked out? Did he drop?
And the old folks wished them well, c’est la vie - just goes to show you never can tell.
Still the question exists, where did the lawyer contract this form of TB...and the FIL working for the CDC...too weird.
engagement pic.
I don’t believe in coincidences.
What? It’s some kind of sci-fi conspiracy??
The $64,000 question. The morning's presser indicated that subject just might be on the day's agenda for this young man.
..and now we have the name and picture.
How did that come about?...good sleuthing?
The makings of a murder mystery.
The wife of the victim gains access to CDC harzardous bio material using credentials stolen from her father. Infects her husband to get the insurance money, yada yada yada.
Agatha Christi, where are you when we need you?

I don’t know about that. I simply find it quite odd, and suspect there is some kind of back story yet to come out.
