Looks like a false report.
no doubt he got sent home from that ER because he did not have insurance.
I was going by his narrative, as were almost 400 posters.
If he died Sunday, why are they giving him experimental drugs today?
Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian national who is fighting a severe Ebola infection in Dallas, is getting an experimental treatment, the hospital announced Monday.
That should tell you something about how false rumors spread.
Did you read the thread?
Not all of it. I started at the end and saw multiple postings about the report being false.
I'll take a stab at it; expensive and we are.
Another question worth exploring is how did he pay for the ticket? The per capita annual income of Liberia is about $800. A last minute ticket to the US is probably about $2000. What were the source of the funds? Did his family here in the US pay for the ticket? Did they do so knowing that he was sick, and needing treatment?
I don't honestly know the answer to this but it's important to realize that not everyone in Africa is dirt-poor. They just have a huge income gap with a small handful of people at the top, politically connected, who are wildly rich and vast swaths at the bottom who subsist on virtually nothing. What Africa does not have is a middle class. It's quite possible that Duncan was one of Africa's "one percenters" with the means to travel here in an effort to save his own life.
No, I meant the actual posting by the thread poster? Where’d that come from?
Is the wanker dead or not?
A clerk at a FedEx agency doesn’t sound like a one-percenter.
I'm guessing a false report. Probably believed true and not sufficiently confirmed. I'm not claiming a FReeper made it up. But the link he posted do not now say that claim; they probably got better information and fixed it.
Schrödinger’s cat.

Yesterday Israel National News DID have an article claiming he was dead-—I saw it.
Lousy reporting.
.
Look in the mirror, FREind.
From what I’ve derived from various sources is that the NBC guy knowingly exposed himself while helping the “humanitarian” effort of cleaning a vehicle that carried a dying/dead ebola patient. I remember the initial reports saying that NBC had hired him 3 days before he showed symptoms. The only conclusion is that NBC knowingly hired him because they felt there was nothing wrong with him exposing himself to the virus and that NBC or at least the NBC crew wanted to help him get immediate aid with NBC Corp or whomever else (taxpayers) paying the bill.
This guy is just as duplicitous as the dirtbag african who brought it here by lying.
Maybe not in America. In Africa? You'd be surprised at how much graft someone in such a position could acquire.
