I wonder if, when he was diagnosed here in the U.S., anyone TOLD him he had to wear a mask in public? If the medical personnel there are as inept as the Providence chain is here on the west coast, I wouldn't find it hard to believe that they 'forgot' to tell him. If they did tell him, they should have made sure that he knew and understood why.

Still, it sounds like they're overdoing the security a bit, almost to the point of vindictiveness. He could have a small TV and a phone; they could just put them out in the parking lot when he leaves and burn them. Or is that too difficult for them to figure out?

There is a HIV-infected guy here who deliberately had unprotected sex with dozens of women, and several are now positive for the disease. The last I heard, he isn't being charged with attempted murder, or murder. What are they going to do with him? Jail him for 3 months and let him loose to continue? Probably.

Between the medical profession and the legal profession, we're pretty well screwed anyway.
