Anyone else irked at the way Texas wants to charge the man with ebola with a crime?

34. Well...

I think he shouldn't be charged with anything. My reasoning being that, he may not have been "informed" enough about contagion to know whether he was at risk, we're talking about a place where there is not exactly the same level of public info getting out to everyone. And, If I were him and I thought I might be infected, I think I might try to get to the US to get better healthcare than where he was.

Can't blame him for that, we have different ways of understanding things based on our cozy world here in the US and it might be a different way of understanding how this all plays out if e were in his shoes.

I never had much of a genuine positive regard for much of what i have seen or know about Texas (been there many times over many years) and am not all that surprised that there were so many missed cues for those who should have been paying attention and for those who have authority to manage this issue but still dropped the ball... IMHO.

I hope the family will all be okay and that the guy who is ill manages to get better and not just to end up in jail. I think trying to charge him with a crime is stupid and counter-productive.
