TB Man Sorry

A U.S. tuberculosis patient said he is sorry and apologised to passengers he may have endangered by boarding two transatlantic flights. He flew to Europe for his wedding last month, knowing he had TB but said he did not know he posed a risk. Even the health officials had told him he was not contagious. They had not forbidden him to travel but they should have. He wore a mask while speaking with ABC's Good Morning America program and said he hoped his fellow passengers could understand and forgive him because he really believed that he wasn't putting anyone at risk. He is now under quarantine. His wife does not seem worried, but maybe just a little bit she said. I would be worried if I was her as it is a strain that is resistant to drugs. They are giving him several antibiotics.
