Hey, what do you think about the case ? about the flight? about the father in law working for CDC as a TB researcher?

Father in Law who is a CDC official gave the go ahead for dude to go on the Honeymoon.

So CDC is at fault.

Yeah..but just the fact that pop-in-law works for CDC doesnt make the CDC responsible for this mess...

Speaker insists that the docs said it was ok to travel...and I cant see which doc would do that, knowing him to be a case of XDR TB...

and the interesting question is, "Where did he get XDR TB from???"

Which MDR TB takes wks to come positive.

Speaker is not naming the Actual individual who actually asked him to leave or not to the country. they havent divulged the name of the CDC Doc who personally gave the go ahead for the Traveling part.

Its CDC they have to be instant on things they cant ask anyone to wait wks until they find out the result. then its take them couple of wks to figure out wht they r doing and 2ndly
"Speaker's father-in-law, Bob Cooksey, is a CDC microbiologist specializing in the spread of TB and other bacteria. He said only that he gave Speaker "fatherly advice" when he learned the young man had contracted the disease. ". He could have stopped the whole deal and said no and get something done but no he said ok have fun.

It ONLY HAPPENS IN AMERICA

1, His father recorded the dialog with doctor, the reason was that he had a head injury in Vietnam war, and he is used to do it, so he can rehear it again ! But listen to this, they are both lawyers, so they know what they were doing , now he is protected! shaking head

2, Did you ever seen or been in Greece on Santorini island ? It's a paradise and ridiculously expensive ( only for rich). Yes, that is where he went for his honeymoon. How could you refuse that ? raised eyebrow
