Why does Duncan remind me of this guy?
But it begins with Duncan misleading, aka lying, to the hospital staff about his travel and exposure to Ebola.
Exactly what I’ve said all along, the hospital should be suing Duncan’s relatives and fiance for bringing him to their hospital in the first place since he knew he had ebola.
Why would he have done that? It probably caused his death, by delaying his treatment. After all, he was safely in the US, where they know how to treat Ebola! Well, don't they?
The correct answer is, he didn't know he had Ebola, didn't know he'd been exposed. Didn't lie at the Monrovia airport. Didn't lie in Dallas.
The case he had dealt with was the first in his neighborhood, and he'd been assured it was not Ebola, just a pregnancy-related illness (biting tongue causes bleeding from the mouth, dontch know).
His ignorance is just an example of how this disease spreads in Africa. It's Lurch's fault he got the chance to demo the syndrome in this country. Actually, if Lurch's helpers had been a little more efficient, his visa would have been approved in time for him to arrive in June for his son's graduation. In which case, we'd never have heard of him. He'd just be one more Liberian visa overstayer by now, probably driving a cab in Dallas. LOL!
Yes, Duncan flat-out lied about his exposure to Ebola -- but CDC still relies on traveler's honesty in "screening" them.
