Do you think it would be fair to prosecute people with deadly and/or highly contagious diseases when they knowingly expose others to it? If I ended up catching some strain of super-TB (as was this guy's case), SARS, or something of the like and found out that one particular person was responsible for it, I'd want to sue him or at least have him reprimanded...somehow.
It surprises me that this man is angry to be under quarantine and armed guard. After all, he brought it upon himself: after deliberately exposing people to TB, he refuses to turn himself in while in Italy and sneaks back into the United States.
Gross. The guy knew he was sick, and not just with some run-of-the-mill cold. He could have at least worn a face mask to protect others from his illness.
Health officials said that the man had been advised not to fly and that he knew he could expose others when he boarded the jets from Atlanta to Paris, and later from Prague to Montreal.
