CDC Scramble to Cover Their Absence of Securing Safety

CDC Director Julie Louise Gerberding stated on CNN today that the reason that Atlanta personal-injury lawyer (how fortuitous) Andrew Speaker, the TB-infected-person-flying-around-the-world-and-entering-multiple-countries, wasn’t detained anywhere was that the strain of tuberculosis was slow-growing, so it took time to culture it... Well, how about erring on the side of caution? Did he get special treatment because of who he was? His fiancé’s father was a researcher – on Tuberculosis, of all things - at the CDC. Why was he allowed to board planes with so many people? Why wasn’t he detained at the U.S.-Canadian border as a computer warning said to do? We’re supposed to be more vigilant now-a-days, so what happened?
