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?
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

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.
A total of 48 people who had contact with Duncan are being monitored for fever or other symptoms until Sunday, the end of the 21-day Ebola incubation period. None has become ill." -LATimes
"The family, relatives of Duncan's fiancee, are not quarantined and have been told they can leave their apartment at will. Two family members, Youngor Jallah and husband Aaron Yah, have stayed home from their jobs at local nursing homes voluntarily without pay. They have four children — ages 2,4, 6 and 11 — and plan to return to work Monday. - LATimes
If the above detail that Younger was not quarantined is fact, it is not known why she was not mandated to quarantine.
Just the same, it's a moot point given she had the good sense to have her entire family follow the same quarantine protocol under very trying circumstances.
Although I, like many here would be repulsed if this family profits from this disaster, I do not begrudge their efforts to recover their losses. They did not ask for this to happen to them. I believe they truly were anticipating a happily ever after reunion, which was enabled by the current administration. Duncan paid the price for his silence, when he opted not to reveal his exposure to Ebola to the hospital staff (&/or) his family.
As to the individual family members immigration status...I have yet to read any details which would provide those details. I blame Obama and this administration for their policies which allows transit from the Ebola hot zone and refuses to quarantine any legal immigrant/temporary worker/visiter to protect this nation from any pestilence they may intentionally or unwittingly bring with them.
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...
This is the moment of false sense of security.
I am with you on this, I do not believe NONE of them will experience the effects of Ebola.
