So, the CDC tells this guy he's got TB and that he shouldn't fly. Well, fuck it, he gets on a plane and flies on two planes to Italy.
Then he gets to Italy, needs to go to the hospital, doesn't trust Roman hospitals, so he decides to get on another plane and fly home. Oops! The US has put him on a no-fly list. Well, fuck it, he'll just fly all the fuck around Europe and then into Canada and drive over the border.
If I was on one of those planes and go so much as a sore throat, I'd be talking a lawyer about how I could sue this jackass. I hope everyone on every one of those planes goes after him.
And secondly, how worthless are our no-fly lists if people can just turn around and take a different flight? Nice going Italian Aiport Security!

1. You can't sue anyone unless you are actually diagnosed with TB.
I don't know. I SAID I'd TALK to a lawyer.

2. How much money does this guy have that he can fly around like this on short notice?
I don't know.

3. How did contract the TB in the first place?
Illegal immigrants.

4. How do you feel about enforced quarantine?
If we stick with our current Once-Every-44-Years schedule, I'm not too worried.

If this guy becomes the next Typhoid Mary, he'll be dead even if his surgery is successful. He'll be dead very, very quickly, and the sad thing is that his whole family will go too, and probably his wife's. But by then, it'll be mass chaos and the end of the world and wizards taking over Las Vegas after six billion people die and the disease leaves few remaining, and all that.
