Reactionary

From the New York Times:

Officials of the federal Centers for Disease Control said they contacted Mr. Speaker while he was on vacation in Italy after they learned that he carried the dangerous strain of the disease, and advised him to turn himself in to Italian health authorities.

Instead, he made his way to Prague, flew from there to Montreal, and then drove across the border into New York, to avoid being stranded outside the country by his name appearing on a United States no-fly list. Once in New York City, he was persuaded to go to a hospital, and has been cooperating with federal health authorities since then.

People are always trying to get away with something. I hate how people consider themselves to be experts on things that they are absolutely not familiar with. Just listen already. Obey someone else for once! Stop thinking you’re the only one who knows anything about anything. People get themselves into messes and then expect someone else to get them out of it. No one wants to listen to rules and then cry when something bad happens. In every human being’s weak mind, they and they along are above rules. Rules do not apply to them.

This jackass exposed hundreds of people to his crappy TB because he didn’t want to be inconvenienced and was convinced he knew better. If anyone on one of those planes got TB from him, I hope they sue him for all he’s worth. Personal injury lawyer indeed. (So we know the TB found a deserving home and he deserves to be scarred for life from it.)
