What’s this one guy from Liberia cost the folks in Dallas so far?
10 million? More?
September 15, 2014: Duncan takes his friend and neighbor Nathaline Williams, 19 who is seven months pregnant, in a cab to a hospital in Monrovia, Liberia, believing that she is having a miscarriage. She dies from Ebola.
September 19, 2014: Duncan leaves Monrovia on Brussels Airlines Flight 1247 to Brussels, Belgium. He then takes United Airlines Flight 951 from Brussels to Washington Dulles.
September 20, 2014: Duncan leaves Washington Dulles on United Flight 822 to Dallas Texas. He reportedly was not showing symptoms.
September 24, 2014: Duncan begins to show symptoms.
September 26, 2014: Duncan goes to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. He is examined and sent home with antibiotics.
September 28, 2014: Dallas fire rescue is called to the apartment complex in Dallas where Duncan is staying. He is taken to the same hospital and admitted.
September 29, 2014: A relative, Josephus Weeks, calls the 800 number of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and is told to call the state health department.
September 30, 2014: Medical tests confirm that Duncan has Ebola. The CDC and state health officials call a press conference and alert the public.
It is no wonder that Texas state health officials are looking at about 100 people who may have had contact with Duncan or his relatives. There should be a way to screen for this virus in its early stages in the body. Then, when symptoms begin to show, there should be tests made to determine if it's Ebola. It was six days after symptoms began that Ebola was determined. If I were infected because of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital's misdiagnosis of Duncan, I would be touching the sue button. If Duncan knew he had the Ebola infection and left Liberia to get better treatment in America, he should be charged with aggravated assault (if he lives).

Will we be told when he croaks, or will we be on the receiving end of another news blackout?
So why is he not being given the drug that saved the other two people who were flown to the US last month?
