TB boy

I don't get a few things about the case. Why is Speaker the center of the issue and not the person who infected him? Or, how he got infected? How did the CDC know he had super TB? For how long? Why wasn't he put on quarantine back then? Why did the CDC want to leave him stranded in a foreign country instead of assisting him to the US in a medical flight?

His dad-in-law working with super TB sounds really suspicious.

Any info is appreciated.

Something is definately out of whack. The media is treating it like its the next coming of the Black Plague. Hell, at the Detroit Medical Center we saw TB quite often. Maybe because he's a white clean-cut lawyer. Who knows.

It is totally fishy. How does a clean cut American contract some crazy deadly form of tb? He doesn't seem to have lived an Anjelina Jolie type of life. They should be scrambling to piece together his life travels to figure out where it came from. He can't just pick it up in Atlanta.

And then it comes out that his father in law is researching tb at the CDC? I can't believe that it is just a coincidence.

hmmm... the conspiracy theories start...

He's either

1) been traveling to weird areas

2) is an HIV + immunosuppressed dude.

Just my humble opinion. 😀

This whole thing brings up a weird feeling and strange feeling for me. Normally when I think of HIPAA I think “huge pain in the ass,” but seeing this guy’s name and personal info thrown all over TV and the internet makes me hope that someone’s going to fry for leaking it.

Well ... he's a personal injury lawyer. If there was such a thing as karma he'd have been traveling to some personal injury lawyer convention in a hotel with poor air circulation.

I think most reasonable people, being told they have TB and shouldn't travel, even if that was a CYA comment by his physicians, would have stayed home. Somethings definitely off here - I mean c'mon, who else but an attorney would tape this conversation. "Hey doc, do you mean I shouldn't travel (wink wink) or I REALLY shouldn't travel?" Maybe his father-in-law let him in one of the hot-labs at CDC for a little tour - who knows.

I don't think the CDC left him stranded. I don't think they found out is was a resistant strain until he had already left the country. It's not like this happens every day. Once he was in Italy and found out, he should have sought out some expertise and advice before sneaking back into the US by way of Canada. What a scumbag.

I'll bet some personal injury lawyer already has a 1-800 number up and running for everyone who thinks they might have been exposed - or even if they weren't exposed but are just thinking about going to Italy and now they have PTSD at the thought they might be flying on the same plane next month.

I've been having those same poetic justice thoughts since this story first broke. I'd love to see two plane loads of people file suit for pain, suffering, emotional distress.
