    I agree completely, was aiming for sarcasm with my response to Del.

    Speaker said he felt as if the CDC had suddenly "abandoned him." He said he believed if he didn't get to the specialized clinic in Denver, he would die.
    Then why pray tell not go straight to the clinic to save ones life rather then detouring to Europe while 'dieing'.

    Seems like a grade-a selfish pig, as for the rest exposed to him I hope they sue him for all he has on the basis of emotional suffering. Seems the father-in-law should have his credentials reviewed if he can't even give sage advice to his son-in-law... or maybe he really really doesn't like him.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    IMHO, each case is unique.

    I know that our society is slowly criminalizing any single tiny risk (when people die by the hundred someplaces else, btw), and that it has to be tampered (not sur about the word): I mean, if I were a doctor in certain places, I would refuse to take care of people, because I could get so many lawsuits... And I think that this is bad

    However, about this TB infected person flying over the seas uncaring, I won't say "well, no harm, no foul". This is madness. Of course being rejected because you're sick must be hard. Does it give you a reason to be irresponsible?
