Donkey with a passport

So you have a rare form of tuberculosis, one which is highly contagious, resistant to treatment and you are placed on a no-fly list in the U.S. What would most people do upon a diagnosis such as this? Well I would hope that they wouldn’t board a commercial flight but that is exactly what this selfish bastard did via Canada. American citizen Andrew Speaker is now in isolation in a Denver hospital with XDR TC, which happens to be THE most dangerous form of the illness. He sat on several international flights possibly infecting dozens and dozens of innocent people all because he is a selfish, reckless asshat who did not want to rebook his honeymoon. I hope it was worth it Mr. Speaker! What the hell is wrong with people?

I would say the woman who is actually prepared to marry a selfish bastard like this must be even more stupid, what sort of relationship will that be? Still, they say there is someone for everyone, they probably deserve each other

Does it not strike you odd that the guys new Father-in-law is a Doctor with the CDC and didn't make a big deal of his traveling? And it begs to ask the question of where did the guy catch it to begin with? Given that the strain that he has only exists in remote pockets of Asia and Russia...makes one wonder.
Asshat nonetheless.

Asshat, yes but apparently this strain can be found on every continent says the World Health Organisation. Jacob was wondering if the FIL perhaps gave it to his new SIL as a 'wedding gift' of sorts (not good enough to marry my daughter sorta thing). Nonetheless, he got on the plane knowing it was an aggressive, spreadable disease or he wouldn't have offered to wear a mask. He also knew he was on a no fly list so he drove to Canada and flew out of here. Now he says he is 'sorry', too little too late...selfish bastard.
