Got on a plane and flead quatenteen.

Damn, I thought that kind of thing only happened on bad horror movies. Ugh.

I know how to spell last time I checked. I think they should have just shot him. End that strain nice and quick.

Not only was the dimwit an attorney who should've known better, his father-in-law was a microbiologist for the CDC. The fool didn't listen to the advice of his father-in-law, who in turn didn't report him to health authorities for whatever reason.

What a freak show!

People like that really should be shot. All logic and human decency says: "Stay with the CDC." but he goes off and flies to Canida.

Remember he was told he wasn't a threat to anyone else.

And don't forget that in the end he's still a victim. He'll have major surgery and probably unwanted media attention for a long time.

I didn't hear anyone telling him he wasn't a threat. All I heard was he had a new strain of TB and went on a flight. Not a good idea in my book.

NO! I just didn't spell check it and now everyone is on my back. I wrote 50,000 words in a week, and people keep treating me like garbage, I'll show them, I'll show all of them, and they can't stop me because my eyes shoot laser beams but they're invisble and they'll destroy you which is why I have to keep my eyes closed at all times, but the communists, they stole our belts and replaced them with cardboard, but no one noticed becuase McCarthy was playing right into their hands. He covered for them, but no one knew cuase he actaully was an alien named Ashly who only speaks in binary at home, and once I said to him, I said: "Ashly, you're so 100101010010111010101001010010100
0100101010101010101010001001010110100110101. And you can blow it out your 100111012"

And we all know the moral of this story!

Nope, only Ocean's 12.

The reason for drug-resistant bacteria/germs is false application of anti-biotics in the first place.

This is...
a) fault of the patient, if he's allowed to take the medication at home without supervising. Thus drug resitance developes because of Mr. Selfish decided not to take all of his medication.
b) fault of the doctor, even nurses (if in a hospital) when the wrong drugs are prescribed/applied or not enough.
c) due to the lack of proper medication (in poor countries).

Hospitals are the number one place for this drug-resistant crap to breed by the way. Many stationary patients get it out of the blue.
