Relatives of Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan who were put under observation by CDC after they visited him on the day he was taken to hospital are still waiting for an answer about what they should do 24 hours after they begged them for help.

Aaron Yah, 43, and wife Youngor Jallah, 35, yesterday told of their ordeal in isolation and revealed that they had not received direct orders to stay indoors.

Today MailOnline returned to the family's small apartment to find a family without answers, without power following violent electrical storms that brought down lines and running low on food, water and diapers for their youngest child.

Jallah, whose eyes appeared sticky and whose children were coughing, saw Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan on Sunday when he was taken to hospital

Ebola Guy gets back to his family on what, the 19th?

Then second family starts getting sick around the 23rd or sooner?

Egads....

Yeah, I've heard of some people being asymptomatic longer than they should have been, yet still contagious.

This story accurately reflects the walking around sense of journalist. Interviewing family members displaying symptoms of Ebola?

Coughing and sneezing are not signs of Ebola.

That one woman in the article does describe a high-risk exposure to the index patient. If she develops a fever anytime within the next 15 days, it could be Ebola. The article indicates that the CDC is monitoring them, as it should.

Why they are talking to journalists is puzzling. I guess that whole 15 minutes of fame is too good to pass up.

Even better, had they fully sealed it in black 20-80mil HPDE, then shined heat lamps on it to insure the care’s interiors reached temperatures above 130F for at least 5 hrs, then it would then would have been fairly well disinfected.

Clean the car interior as HAZMAT, seal it up again and heat again for 5 hrs.

A prudent approach with minimal low tech resources.

Now for the exterior walkways and vegetation and soils. Use a propane torch and incinerate everything. Then start from scratch. Be sure the soil is tilled 6 inches and thoroughly exposed to heat and sunlight throughout.

The only thing the Pro Bros™ accomplished with that fine-ass wrap job was to keep the bird crap off. Sheesh. Like to know who called them in!

Remember how they swore up one side and down the other that BO wasn’t in that limo?

” ....... Relatives of Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan who were put under observation by CDC after they visited him on the day he was taken to hospital are still waiting for an answer about what they should do 24 hours after they begged them for help. .....”

OK timeline in Dallas morning news says he went to ER on Sept 25, was discharged, then from the 25th to the 28th he was at the apartment, then Sept 28th he went to hospital and was put in isolation.

Date on the British papers story is Sept 23rd!

Something ain’t right here ..... (?)

The CDC will move heaven and earth to get the NBC guy back here... or some liberal elite doctor... but ordinary people? Not so much.

The latest - Aaron Yah has been cleared to break quarantine of four days to return to work in the nursing home.

Article on Daily Mail.

Off topic - how long before I can post without my comments having to wait for review?
