View Letizia Colon's profileThis TB story about this pompous, arrogant man with no concern for others except for his inflated ego reminds me of an old star casted film, Cassandra Crossing, with Burt Lancaster and Sophia Loren. Ever since I have been a child, I have had a strong interest in public health and this film triggered my interest then. Now, this man from Georgia was worst than that sick TB passenger in that film! (OJ Simpson plays a bad guy there)

As a public health graduate, my worry is that the passengers who came in contact with him are now carriers of this non-treatable form of TB. Victims to this selfish man. If someone who already had a lowered immune system, like a cancer or HIV patient or even the elderly, came in contact with this public health fiend, these patients will most likely manifest a quicker demise than this cretin.
Im sorry, I have NO tolerance for a man with prior notification that he is a public health hazard with the rarest form of TB.
I think this man is as bad or worst than people who actively and consciously spread HIV and other STDS to others.
i wonder if this is the same young billionaire techie I met years ago in one of my travels who pompously told my friend and I that he has already traveled to all 340 countries a few times and does not believe in using protection. Who knows.....

Yes, Can you believe it? The CDC told him to stay put,, then when they learned the last test proved that his strain was particularly resistent, and that he should go to the Embassy or an Italian hospital for treatment, what does the bubblehead do? He still sneaks back into the country.... talk about having no regard for your fellow humans.... I'm at a loss,,,
