Friends, family of Ebola patient reach milestone

Troh plans to partially recover financially with a book written about her life, from growing up in Liberia, meeting Duncan in a refugee camp in Ivory Coast, Duncan's years-long quest to come to America to be reunited with his girlfriend and their 19-year-old son, and his death in an isolation ward.

"It will be a love story," she said.

Well, isn't that special. Bless her heart. Maybe she can donate some of the proceeds to all the businesses that lost income and all the people on monitoring lists who've had their lives distrupted.

Maybe she can donate some of the proceeds to Presbyterian Hospital, which has probably lost millions due to her “boyfriend.”

What a crock. Any money should be seized to compensate for the damage done to Citizens of this country by the lieing alien invader.

She should not be able to profit from the commission of a crime like this law prevents (Wyoming).

I just find it very hard to believe that she will not get Ebola. If a nurse in a hazmat suit can get it, then this woman who lived in a tiny apartment with him at his most contagious time seems very likely to get it along with those children. I feel like they will not tell us if she does because that puts Clay Jenkins in a really worse light than he’s already in and he has taken charge, for some reason, all the information that comes out about that family. One more thing, how do they really know that you are free after 21 days?

Ahh, a classic love story, ready for a movie from the Hallmark channel.

Boy meets girl, gets her pregnant, leaves, gets some other girls pregnant, lives with them for 17 years, then catches Ebola and hightails to America to marry the first girl or at least try and live, while the first girl who stole his heart is living with another guy, gets to her country, infects people left and right with Ebola, and dies.

An old family favorite.

There is speculation by other medical orgs than CDC, that the incubation rate might be much longer than 21 days, like 45 days.

I also don’t believe the people in that close of contact are not carriers of it now.

Barack should go visit and kiss them all to prove how they’re OK.

My belief is that Duncan’s family were NEVER in that apartment, they knew in advance he was coming and that he had been exposed to Ebola, they knew to leave. Of course that is something the media won’t discuss because it doesn’t fit into their cute little package about this family..isn’t that adorable, Ebola..a love story..perhaps this woman needs to talk to Nina Pham’s family, she did NOTHING wrong yet because of her boyfriend this poor woman is fighting for her life

I hope that Presbyterian Hospital and both the nurses that her boyfriend infected lawyer up now-then a suit for unpaid medical expenses and damages will be waiting for Ms. Troh before the ink is dry on her “love story”...

Louise's survival is likely attributable to her 35 year old daughter, Youngor Jallah who had some medical training and was the one caring for Duncan.

For each of the individuals living with Louise at the time of Duncan's visit (for lack of a better term) all of whom have impressively managed to come out this directly unscathed by Ebola, Youngor is the hero in this family.

Most, but not all, people infected with the Ebola virus fall ill anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure. The keyword here is MOST. That is to say, the majority of those that would have been infected by Duncan prior to his admission to Presbyterian Hospital would be showing signs by now.

This last part is only my opinion, but I think if we can make it to Thanksgiving with no more cases, we should be in the clear. This timeframe takes into account the secondary cases and any possible transmission from them to tertiary cases. This does not take into account any new carriers that fly from the West African hot zones to the US. Perhaps Duncan’s death and subsequent announcement that all supplies of ZMapp have been exhausted will keep other infected people from trying to come to the US for a cure.

21 days is the max numbr of days that someone has contacted the deadly disease. I’d say it’s a guess....like global warming...

WHO says 42 days. A male survivor can carry viable virus in semen for 90 days. US Army says Ebola contaminated fluids that dry on a surface remain infectious for 51 days at 39F. Absent a full range of inputs, you plan for the worst case. Underestimation has a deadly consequence.

I believe they were in the apartment, but coming from a 3d world hellhole, probably had sense enough to take some precautions, and they likely have some immunity from that hellhole.

That said, since they’ve been spirited away to a place out of sight and mind by that idiot judge, I think if they became ill, the public would only find out if one of the family blabbed it on the phone or in an e-mail...
