Andrew Speaker, 31 year old personal injury attorney recently ignored CDC recommendations & flew to Europe to marry after being diagnosed with a rare, treatment resistent TB.
If YOU were on his plane to Canada, ignorung CDC advice to hire a private jet to return to the U.S., what would your opinion be on the following:

Should he pay you pain & suffering for your fear of catching his TB?
Should he pay for your testing to ensure he didn’t give you his TB?
If you contract TB, should he pay all your medical expenses?

Was it ok for him to ignore the CDC advice because a private plane would cost him $100,000?

Should a private plane to the U.S. be covered partially by his medical insurance?

Since U.S. airlines had him on a no-fly list, do you believe he didn’t know the risk he was putting other people’s health at?

Were his wedding & his wants more important than the safety of others?

What are your answers to the questions above?
My personal opinion is that I do not believe
his protestations that he cares about any other human being outside himself. I don’t believe he cares. I believe he’s lying intentionally because he thinks noone else is as important as he is. I believe he doesn’t believe anyone has the right to tell him what to do or not do.

What do you believe?

Old Guy 124, I don’t think he flew over there to MEET his wife. I believe she’s a US citizen and they just wanted to have their wedding in Greece.
