A United Nations worker infected with Ebola has died in hospital in Germany despite intensive medical treatment. The 56-year-old man was being treated at the St Georg hospital in the eastern German town of Leipzig after being admitted five days ago, according to local officials. Local health officials said last week the patient was a Sudanese doctor who had arrived in Germany from Liberia.

He is one of three people infected with Ebola to be treated in Germany. One of the others, from Senegal, was released in good health from a Hamburg clinic after five weeks' treatment and has returned to his home country.

The other, a World Health Organization employee from Uganda, is still receiving treatment in Frankfurt after contracting the virus in Sierra Leone. The dead man, who tested positive for the virus on October 6, landed shortly after 5am last Thursday in a modified Gulfstream jet equipped with an isolation chamber, Sky News reported.

But liberals, Obama, and other assorted idiots insist that Ebola magically becomes less lethal outside of Africa.

Any chance this will shut up the race baiters like Jesse Jackson, and Ebola victim Duncan’s family, about how Duncan died not of Ebola, but of racism?

Don’t worry, everything is fine, just because this virus kills about 65% of those who get infected doesn’t give anyone the right to be concerned! Let’s keep allowing people to fly in to America from the outbreak countries, and we can help them all, its our duty after all! If things get really, really bad, then maybe we will change our minds, until then, sit down and stfu you racist conservative woman haters! /s

I think it becomes more lethal as those not from the dark continent probably have no anti bodies from previous similar diseases. Kind of like Small Pox when it got to the Americas.

When this event is finally over, perhaps in five years, the death toll will approach the great pandemic of 1918 IMO. Of course, Barry et al will be in the self contained government provided bunkers watching reruns of Dr Who.

My advice, mine the harbors around Africa, shoot down any plane leaving and try as best to contain the situation NOW while working on some kind of vacine at full speed. The best “vacine” they had for the nurse in Texas is a tranfusion from the Doc who got an experimental drug last month. It may have helped him, who knows if it will help her but as with most things Barry et al don’t want you know, the info on her condition has been a state secret. We are at DEFCON One here, an attack on the homeland.

Unfortunately we're the frog in the pot of boiling water. Hardly anybody will do a thing substantive. Maybe a few hashtags....

“If one service man gets it this country should march on the white house.”

Why do you think Obola is always not there? No, he is in his self contained titanium tube at 45K feet sipping champaign while on his way to some liberal bastion.

Is he merely Sudanese and working in West Africa, or did he come to Germany from Sudan?

What happens when all the nurses call in sick? That’s what I expect next. If the SEIU airport workers who are barely literate won’t deal with West Africans, why should nurses?

I was thinking just the opposite.

This guy who died was from the Sudan and died under Western medical care just as the Liberian did.

To me it seems that the Western medicine has had more non-blacks live than die.

I do not know what ethnicity the priest were that were brought back to Spain that died were but at least one did not have a very European name. England has had at least one patient live who was white I think and we have had 3 or 4???

Someone postulated that maybe those of European descent have more resistance because of the Black Death(I think that was it).

Somebody ping the American Men-Seeking-Men media. They are apparently under the belief that Ebola patients only die in red-state hospitals such as the one in Texas.

Which leads me to wonder: if Preezy Obola only learns about what's going on in the world from what he reads or hears in the American media, where does the American media learn what's going on in the world?

He probably got lesser care because he is black. /s

OK, Freepers, time for action.

It’s after 9:00 am in DC.

Call your reps in DC and tell them the flights from West Africa through any hub HAVE TO STOP!

The place to fight this disease is at its source, not here.

The “screening” process at our airports is a joke and ineffective. 150 people a day are coming here from West Africa—that is 4500 a month. Some will show a fever and yet may be carrying the virus.

Our healthcare system will shutdown if this continues.

We already have cases in Kansas, Nebraska, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Texas.

The first order of business of a government is to protect their citizens. And this government is failing to do so.

Make the calls.

The family you save may be your own.
