Why is the rest of the world living in modernity while Africa is stuck centuries behind? This is amazing, as Africa has been in existence far longer than America and Europe.

It's the legacy of colonialism! /sarcasm

JJ, get lost, you well over the hill...retire!!!

I think to effectively assist the family, he should retrace the steps of the deceased, starting in Liberia. Only then can he expose the massive racism that caused this poor soul to leave his beloved utopian homeland, sucked in by the cruel racist capitalist society of the USA that brainwashed him into believing he was better off here.

I wonder if someone can be a carrier and pass Ebola on to others but not get it themselves ???

Those children in his girlfriend’s apartment went to school for days after Duncan was hospitalized..

then they were outside and interacting with other children for more days

the whole family children and adults refused to stay home and quarantined so the law had to step in and make them and isolate them for the safety of the general population...

I for one cannot feel sorry for this family...

they endangered others and had no thought for their neighbors..

courageous ???

How much courage does it take to be selfish and only think of yourself...

You’ve got that right. Listen, of course there are many great black people in this world just like there are of any other race, I know this, but that still doesn’t exempt me from speaking to what my mind is the truth...a disproportionate number of them are problematic, at least those here in the States. I wonder Why? Can’t they rise above like others before them have?

I went to school in the '50s-'60s and distinctly recall being taught that Africa was a "sleeping giant" but one day would be the future of the world.
I also distinctly recall my thinking that if that were true, the future they referred to had to be at least 500 years away.
So far, looks like I was right.

Jesse, what a slime ball you are. Duncan was here from Liberia with the virus in him. American health care didn’t kill him, but ObamaCare will kill Americans.

WHAT A G-DAMNED USELESS MOTHER@*$(ING LIAR!!! A BIG FILTHY G-D LIAR.

“Jackson loves playing with fire. Sooner or later he’s going to get burned.”

Well, he did meet with the family. Check back in about 2 weeks to see if you get your wish.

[artichokegrower]

Hey Jesse your son should have great access to immediate health care in prison. Should be concerned about your love child daughter that you abandoned in LA though.

Unfortunately, blacks overwhelming believe this crap. I heard it from two black coworkers yesterday. They both should know better, they want to believe the system is against them....even though the man they support is in the white house and messing stuff up. Never their fault. Blame others. Blame the whites. It is as sick as any Ebola victim.

Yes. From Washingtonsblog: New York Times: Some May Carry Ebola Without Showing Any Symptoms

......................."The Ebola virus, which has caused deaths from high fever and bleeding in African outbreaks, can also infect without producing illness, according to a new finding by African and European scientists.

The possibility of asymptomatic infection was only suggested in earlier studies, they said in last week’s issue of The Lancet, a medical journal published in London. Now they said they had documented such infections for the first time. They found that the Ebola virus could persist in the blood of asymptomatic infected individuals for two weeks after they were first exposed to an infected individual. How much longer the virus can persist is unknown.".......................

If Jessie came down with Ebola and had blood filled bubos on his face, would anyone notice?

It is with interest that I remember that the first patient to be given penicillin back in the 1930s also died. He was white and English.

“The Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. marked his 73rd birthday Wednesday by criticizing the medical care of the first person to die of the Ebola virus in the U.S., contending he initially got substandard care due to his lack of health insurance.”

You’re right, JJ.

The guy should have been shipped back to Liberia for treatment by the native doctors there. That way, he wouldn’t have gotten substandard care by the racist American medical system (apparently paid for by U.S. taxpayers, even though this guy was an alien).
