Family of US Ebola Patient Moves into Donated Home in Gated Community
abc ^ | 10/3/14 | NIKKI BATTISTE, CECILIA VEGA

Four relatives of the Texas Ebola patient who have been confined to their Dallas apartment moved to a home in a gated community the use of which was given to them by an anonymous donor, according to a Dallas city official.

The city had a difficult time finding a home for the family of Thomas Eric Duncan because no one wanted to take them in, according to Sana Syed, a spokesperson for the city of Dallas.

Cleanup crews discovered today that Duncan slept on every mattress in the apartment, said Syed. They previously thought he only slept on one.

All the mattresses, sheets and towels inside the apartment were confiscated and will be incinerated, said Syed. The cleanup will continue for several more days and the car Duncan was in before being taken to the emergency room will be towed.

The family includes two men, a 13-year-old boy named Timothy, and a woman named Louise Troh, who traveled with Duncan from Liberia and has been referred to as Duncan's wife by other family members.

Timothy's father Peterson Wayne told ABC News that he had spoken with his son by phone since he was ordered to remain inside the apartment. Wayne said that his son has been occupying his time by playing games on his phone and sounds fine but "he's the kind of kid who likes to get outside and run around."

"He said he's okay ... He sounded normal," Wayne said of his son.

Great. Now move them around every week to new locations. Be compassionate and contract ebola yourself, just to understand what it feels to have ebola.

The entire city should be quarantined.

Morons.

He KNEW he was sick & went ahead & slept on every mattress??? He really, really loves his family, doesn’t he?
I doubt he’d ever be allowed back in my home since he KNEW he was exposed, thought he had Ebola & came to stay in my home anyway. Nope, I’d be done with him.

What are the odds that the”anonymous generous donor” is the U.S Taxpayer?

You left out that he lied his way out of Liberia and onto the airplane when he filled out the questionaire at the security gate; said he had NOT been in contact with anyone showing Ebola symptoms.

How would you like to be the home-owner when the woman comes down with a fever. You know it’s going to happen. She slept in the same bed with him when he was sick and sweating. Her daughter is going to get it too. She touched him on Sunday right before the ambulance took him away.

Good luck with the resale on that house.

Why aren’t these people being quarantined in a medical facility? What happens to people suspected of having tuberculosis in this country? I thought they came and got you and locked you up until they were sure you were not contagious.

Duncan is a selfish low-life who shouldn’t be allowed in this country because we have too many of his ilk already.

Wonder what the neighbors think of this? Bet they don't even know that this family is in the neighborhood. Well, they might figure it out when they see the house being guarded by police to make sure these nitwits don't wander among the population.

True! Even his boss and a co-worker said he knew he had Ebola and flew, knowing he could expose everyone.

the car Duncan was in before being taken to the emergency room will be towed.

Maybe the silver car that was in the pictures of the pressure washing. In the ground level picture it looked like they were pressure washing a car mat on the sidewalk next to the car.
