The man with a highly drug-resistant strain of TB, who decamped to Italy aboard a commercial airline for his honeymoon against the CDC's advisement, and then eluded authorities when told that he would be quarantined abroad and banned from returning to the U.S., before smuggling himself back to the states via Canada, is sorry for putting everyone out. Andrew Speaker, who was initially not named by the press because of the stigma associated with being a TB-infected person, is a lawyer from Atlanta. The stigma of clearing one's name from being a total public pariah now outweighs being a deadly disease carrier.
It's not likely that Speaker is highly contagious, but his interactions with the Centers for Disease Control became highly contentious after the the man left the country by travelling on a commercial airline––a confined space with recycled air that is infamous for transmitting communicable diseases. The patient, now confined for treatment in Colorado, wanted to go to Greece for his honeymoon. His new father-in-law actually works for the CDC and specializes in . . . infectious diseases like TB!
Speaker actually has audiotape of doctors saying that he wasn't explicitly forbidden from travelling, which we find absolutely fascinating, because we've never thought to audiotape our doctors visits. Frankly, we find the confluence of all these details highly entertaining.

c'mon if I were a border agent I would let him in too. He looks trim, tan and healthy. What contagious disease? looks OK to me.
unless you're muhamed akbar then I got a problem with. Sarcasm.
Please put up a utube vid of his wife, and she's a lawyer, too. wait till you see this blonde.
anyway, I bet there's still some ladies who would suck and F him, TB? who cares, He's cute! Even with his I dream of Jeannie veil.
Countdown to book deal starts now!
In the post:
Sounds to me like he sure knew it was an issue and was Covering His Ass. Wonder if the Doctors knew they were being taped?
He is not just a lawyer, he is a personal injury lawyer.
This whole story sounds like the first chapter of a Michael Crichton novel.
This guy is a grade-a jerk.
oh yeah, i read that novel. "TB (Total Bastard) : how some entitled lawyer prick put a bunch of other peoples' health at risk because he thinks he's better than them". good read.
Man does this guy wreak of slime. I have less a problem with him trying to get back than I do with him trying to act all ignorant of the situation. Just admit you didn't give a crap about others. I'd have some respect then.
I think he and his wife need their own entry at
hotchickswithdouchebags.com
very well put bubonic, he does reek of slime.
That's the first time I've seen a TB mask like that, usually there's more coverage and it's tighter to the face.
that looks weak, like him. and his entire family.
He was obviously being sketchy. He tried to sneak in by driving from Canada right? If he thought he was so right he would have flown straight home. He's such a bull shit artist.
Besides, HE HAS TB! Who doesn't think TB in any form is highly contagious? If he's so well-educated, how can he possibly be pleading ignorance on this?
Selfish. Arrogant. Just plain stupid. He should pay his medical bill with no government or insurance assistance and I wish him only the very worst.
Good thing for him he's a personal injury lawyer. Because if I was one of the passengers seated near him, I'd be suing him for every penny he's worth.
And, hey, if he thinks this TB is no big deal, which he surely must have if he was willing to expose so many others, just let him refuse treatment. If there's any karma at all, this drug-resistant strain will mean he can't be cured.
What do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of a lake? A good start. What do you call a lawyer who doesn't give a rat's ass about anybody else? Typical.
He's a jerk for sure, but what I can't believe is that his wife is a lawyer as well. She sounds/acts like she's 12 on TV. I just hope they don't move here.
Now the media is saying that they never got married. The whole thing smells of some seriously overripe fish.
Typhoid Mary and his wife both should both be locked up.

He's wearing a duckbill-style surgical mask. It doesn't just drape down from his nose. It does wrap under his chin as well. He's just not wearing it right; it's too low. But duckbill-style masks are actually preferred by many compared with the old-fashioned flat and flat-fold masks you're thinking of. A flat mask isn't as efficient because too much material is up against the skin on your cheeks and face. Fabric up against the skin is fabric that's not filtering. You're left with just a small patch of fabric under the nose doing the actual filtering, meaning higher air velocity through the filter patch. Duckbills, by keeping everything except the edges off the skin, give a much larger filtering surface and thus lower air velocity through the pores. I only use duckbills myself.
I don't want to say it but he is Jewish.
What a douche. I hope he dies from the disease. His wife is a skank-ho.
TB Andy! The Personal Injury Attorney! Deplaning near you soon!
Poor TB Andy. Those nasty folks at the CDC might have interfered with his yuppie vacation. So we should tape them so we can blame them. Gee, you think a doctor wouldn't be a little less than candid with personal injury attorneys, who just might sue if they told him not to fly and they were wrong? If they were wrong, poor TB Andy and his "family" might suffer from emotional distress, so sue 'em. You betcha!
Did anyone consider that TB Andy's farther's secret taping of the meeting with a doctor might be illegal bugging? Did he have a court order to allow him to do so? Oh, right. He's hard of hearing, so he taped the meeting [secretly] so he could "understand" the doctors. How convenient.
