TB Traveler

So this guy has rare and extremely dangerous type of TB and decides to take a plane trip to Europe and elsewhere for his wedding.

It seems according to the article that he evaded authorities, knowing that he had this disease, TB.

IF anyone contracts this disease, should he get punished?

I think he should be jailed if anyone gets TB because of him. The type of TB he has kills over half of the people that get it. He is guilty of murder in my book if anyone dies because of his reckless behavior.

They should have had him locked away in the first place. The first rule of communicable disease is isolation.

Yes, he should be punished. What a retard. He knew that he may get others sick. I think his actions should be dealt with. I also think that the doctor should be punished. He failed to put him in a no travel status.

I agree, but if anyone dies he should be charged with premeditated murder..

If I were the people he exposed I would sue for everything he had.

These innocent people now have to incur medical expenses, lose time out of work, and worry they may die.

This stupid jerk needs to be dealt with severely..

Supposedly he was put on a "no fly list".
See the first paragraph of the first link.
A lot of missed opportunities to stop him.

The CDC didn't put him on the No Fly List until he was in Rome and that was after he snuck out of the hotel that they were supposedly watching him at.

I hope he charges himself a lot of money and can't pay his fees; then he could sue himself.

There's an old saying: Any lawyer that defends himself, has a fool for a client.

In this case (no pun intended) it's true twice over.
