Cooksey works in the CDC's mycobacteriology laboratory branch.

Am I the only one the least bit curious about the coincidence?

This undated photo obtained from the website of The Speaker Law Firm,
PC, shows Andrew Speaker, a 31-year-old personal injury attorney who
practices law with his father in Atlanta. Speaker was identified on
Thursday, May 31, 2007, as the tuberculosis patient under the first
federal quarantine since 1963.

Isn't this strange that a lawyer:
1. thought he knew better than the physicians and
2. didn't care about how others might be harmed
so he did what he wanted without regard to the consequences?

A selfish lawyer... what are the odds?

I’ll bet he’s not just a trial lawyer but “connected” as well. We’ll have to see....”To Whom”.

He can and should be sued by all the people who had to have tests, because he was an ignorant, selfish SOB. Damages would be low, unless someone contracts this resistant strain of TB. Odds of punitive damages are low.

"He's a great guy. Gregarious," said Pam Hood, a former neighbor. "He's a wonderful guy. Just a very, very pleasant man."

Trial Lawyer goes into a bar after losing a particular tough case, slams down his brief case and screams at the top of his lungs, "All lawyers are a bunch of lying, cheating, unethical, bloodsuckers!"

A man down at the end of the bar screams back, "I deeply resent those remarks." Trial lawyer shouts back, "So you're a lawyer, huh."

Man screams back, "No, I'm a lying, cheating, unethical bloodsucker!"

Only the most vicious type of sociopath would knowingly, consciously expose and infect potentially hundreds of people to incurable, deadly Tuberculosis in the closed environment of an airplane and elsewhere.

A John Edwards trial lawyer. A cold hearted monster hidden beneath an orthodontic smile and designer clothes.

When I heard his "reasoning" I thought he sounded like a lawyer.

"They said that they "strongly suggested that I not travel", now, what does that mean? Oh, that means that I can do what ever the < bleep > I want since they didn't have a court order and place me under arrest.

And just think of the restaurants where he left his bugs and the hotels where the bugs are waiting or have been picked up by people who knew nothing of this germ carrier. Sleeping on the pillows with the bugs left there seems to me to be grounds to sue and sue and sue and hope that one does not get the incurable TB.

So, the perp was a trial lawyer.

That makes his actions more understandable. Ordinary rules don't apply to him (cough, cough).
