Yes. TB is deadly. Its in the publics best interest that this man be quarantined and helped.
2 :
yes. he was an idiot.
3 :
Yes. It isn't just drug resistant, it is SUPER drug resistant. However, in my opinion if a government does that, they become responsible for that person's food and energy, clothing and so forth. Obviously they can't work.
4 :
Yes, Tb Is deathly contagious
5 :
ABSOLUTELY!!
6 :
NO!!!!. He should be set free and over to the the middle east as a biological weapon!!!!
7 :
Heck yes! That selfish dummy flew on a plain when he had no clue how deadly or contagious he was. That is HORRIBLE!
8 :
Yes. He's a threat to society. Not so much even his disease, but more the fact that he's too f*****g stupid to do as he's told and stay where he was. Now, if he had been in some 3rd world cesspool with no care availiable I could see him wanting to try to get back in, but he was in Italy...a thouroughly westernized country with more than adequate facilities to treat and care for him. But no. He wanted to hurry up and get home and party. He's a d**k. What makes him a bigger moron is that his father-in-law actually is a CDC TB expert and he's a personal injury lawyer. "I never meant to couse anyone harm. " No. He just didn't care...or cared about hiself more. In cases like his the government has a right to use any means necessary to quarrantine you. Weigh the one life against hundreds he might infect...and on and on. A potential epidemic started because of one assss that won't do as he's told? No. In that case, HIS right to freedom of movement and self-determination is forfeit.

I suspect the diagnosis of this man was incorrect. It is not uncommon for incorrect diagnoses to be made. Essentially the quarantine they are talking about is a life sentence for this man. He has received no due process. He certainly has not been convicted of any crime. There is no evidence that anyone has been harmed. I think that it is very unlikely that anyone will be harmed, other than the man who was wrongly quarantined. I suspect that his doctors made a mistake and are now afraid to admit their mistake. This shows how dangerous it is to have laws that makie it easy to quarantine people just on the say so of some doctors or public health people. The doctors are not that good that we should be locking up innocent people just on the word of some doctor.
