(CNN) — The partner of Ebola patient Thomas Duncan is quarantined in her Dallas apartment where Duncan became sick with the virus after his trip to Liberia, the woman told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
The woman, who asked to be identified only by her first name, Louise, is quarantined with one of her children under 13 and two nephews in their 20s because they were in apartment when Duncan became ill, Cooper said.
Duncan, a 42-year-old Liberian citizen, is now hospitalized in Dallas.
But Louise remains in her apartment, and she’s worried, not knowing what to do and waiting on federal health officials, Cooper said.
“She doesn’t know how she’s going to get food into the apartment. She was told she said maybe the Red Cross would come by. She’s still waiting for that,” Cooper said.
“Some health officials brought sandwiches last night, but she hasn’t had anything today,” Cooper said Thursday. “She’s certainly kind of at loose ends and is obviously extremely worried.”
Cooper’s interview with Louise will air Thursday evening on CNN’s “AC360˚.”

meals on wheels to the rescue?
Send Duncan back to Liberia on Nancy Pelosi’s airplane. Send Nancy with him.
Remember, “Ebola Thomas”
These idiots can’t even manage a freaking *tiny* quarantine with competence.
Yes, you idiots. If you quarantine a family, you do have to bring them provisions.
Typical government management. NO COMMON SENSE.
Now, imagine if they quarantine an entire city. Are they going to let the people starve? Drive individuals to break quarantine to survive and feed their kids?
Typical, gov’t stupidity!
ONE DAY LATER and there is NO FOOD in the apartment?
REALLY?
Hasn’t even been 24 hours and this woman is panicking over food. She’s not concerned that her lover most likely gave her Ebola - just worried where her next sandwich is coming from.
Unreal.
That is why these people are here. Flock to AMERIKA for that is where SANTA CLAUS lives.
Funny thing is that Liberia was founded as a place for blacks to escape to.
I think that I read here on FR that the Liberian overstayed his visa. So she can blame her own self, if she knew about it.
Oh, she’s a “partner” now. She was his “girlfriend,” mother of several of his children, but now she’s a “partner” because I guess that makes it sound better.
WE are worrying HER —now that is really rich.
What are they going to do once they kill off most of the producers, through the various means now in play?
United Nations warns Ebola virus currently plaguing West Africa could become airborne
The longer it moves between human hosts the greater possibility of mutation.
The risk grows the longer virus is living within the human 'melting pot' NGOs have said the Ebola virus is currently infecting five people every hour
More than 3,300 people have died from Ebola since the outbreak first began
Officials call for 1,000 new Sierra Leone isolation centres to contain virus British survivor says 'horror' of children dying from disease must be avoided

From Pigs to Monkeys, Ebola Goes Airborne

The Ebola has a 21 days incubation period before the infested person show symptoms. The CDC maintains that a person infested with Ebola cannot transmit it until they show symptoms of the disease. How can they assure that the person cannot infest another person after 10, 15, or 19 days of being infested by the virus while still not showing symptoms of the virus? The CDC falsely assure the American people that it cannot be transmitted by air although studies in Canada seems to prove otherwise.
When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air. The team, comprised of researchers from the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease, the University of Manitoba, and the Public Health Agency of Canada, observed transmission of Ebola from pigs to monkeys.
They first inoculated a number of piglets with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus. Ebola-Zaire is the deadliest strain, with mortality rates up to 90 percent. The piglets were then placed in a room with four cynomolgus macaques, a species of monkey commonly used in laboratories. The animals were separated by wire cages to prevent direct contact between the species. Within a few days, the inoculated piglets showed clinical signs of infection indicative of Ebola infection.
In pigs, Ebola generally causes respiratory illness and increased temperature. Nine days after infection, all piglets appeared to have recovered from the disease. Within eight days of exposure, two of the four monkeys showed signs of Ebola infection. Four days later, the remaining two monkeys were sick too. It is possible that the first two monkeys infected the other two, but transmission between non-human primates has never before been observed in a lab setting.
While the study provided evidence that transmission of Ebola between species is possible, researchers still cannot say for certain how that transmission actually occurred. There are three likely candidates for the route of transmission: airborne, droplet, or fomites.
Airborne and droplet transmission both technically travel through the air to infect others; the difference lies in the size of the infective particles. Smaller droplets persist in the air longer and are able to travel farther- these droplets are truly “airborne.” Larger droplets can neither travel as far nor persist for very long.
What do these findings mean? First and foremost, Ebola is not suddenly an airborne disease.
Doctor Boards Atlanta Flight In HazMat Suit To Protest "Lying CDC"
Zero Hedge ^ | 10/2/14 | Tyler Durden
"If they're not lying, they are grossly incompetent," said Dr. Gil Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician from Springfield, Mo. as he checked in and cleared Atlanta airport security wearing a mask, goggles, gloves, boots and a hooded white jumpsuit emblazoned on the back with the words, "CDC is lying!" As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, Mobley says the CDC is "sugar-coating" the risk of the virus spreading in the United States.
“partner”??
‘PARTNER’?....................
And no one showed them how to stick a bean or seed in the ground? Even witless birds drop seeds and inadvertently grow food. How can an entire continent of people be so f***ing clueless especially with all those natural resources and fertile earth?
I am glad to help the helpless but I refuse to help the clueless.
GMTA!................
Well, it IS Texas, PARDNER!................
