Thomas Duncan knowing traveling to the United States with the Ebola virus, one thing struck me as odd, the lack of history behind the Woman, who he was suppose to have contracted the virus from.
Liberian and American Officials have not been forth coming about the history of the mystery Woman:
1)Was she actually a Liberian Nationalist?
2?)Was she known to travel throughout Africa or the Middle East?
3)What was her religious background?
4)Did she have any possible connections to an terrorist groups?
5)Who was the Father of her unborn child and why hasn't he been IDed?
6)Was this an dry run of something bigger attempt down the road?
If the family can sue then why aren’t they responsible for the medical debt?
I thought I’d read she was a relative of his landlord.
Lots of information was posted about her. Many surrounding her fell ill and died. She was an ordinary person, no terrorist.
I’d like to know the immigration status of his “folks” here.
I thought the narrative went something like this —”Duncan and a bunch of others had ‘contact’ with her. The others all got Ebola and died and so did she. Duncan freaked out, called his relatives in Texas, and they told him to LIE to the screeners and come to America, that the o-man would take care of him, and that if he died, they’d all snivel and sue everybody and get rich. OK, the last part is my own. I think he got it from a hooker, and I think that is why mum’s the word.
I want to know more about her travel history and her connection. The best kind of terrorist attack is the kind were the victim is unknowingly a weapon or victim.
But based on what few facts are in existence, I don't perceive a “terrorist” element, more a visa game that would enable him to come to the USA and overstay it/medical tourism aspect.
I would like to know when he actually bought the travel tickets.
We know he quit/was fired from his job on Sept 5. We know his heaviest exposure was on Sept 15.
We know the pregnant woman was the daughter in the household where he rented a room for quite some time.
We know when she died, and that so did several others who had close contact with her care, within days of her death.
I do not understand anyone claiming the hospital was at fault in any way for not treating him for ebola initially, since it appears extremely obvious HE knew he had it, but refrained from telling anyone about his actual exposure until way too late.
All the previous patients medi-vacced from Liberia were known to have the virus, and sent to specialized medical facilities that had had time to prepare for them, and get the limited experimental anti-ebola drugs sent in.
He stupidly lied at every possible step, and he died.
There doesn’t seem to be any conspiracy here, only Duncan’s dishonesty and poor decisions. He likely signed his own death certificate by not being much more forthcoming during his first trip to the hospital. It’s kind of odd that there haven’t been any radiating Ebola cases for his family, their neighbors and friend or the hospital workers in view of his condition at the first trip to the emergency room. We’ve gotten a big break hopefully.
Here's an article in the LAT with a photo of Duncan's house. There are names and lots of details. Part of the problem is that the pregnant woman was diagnosed as having malaria even though they tried to get her in several ebola clinics.
Eventually, they realized it was ebola. Unfortunately others died; they did everything wrong but wrong was probably already too late the day Duncan carried her; she died the next morning.
Duncan probably figured out she had ebola.

I read she was the daughter of the landlord, too. But was Duncan the father of her child? He has fathered several children by different women. The main relevance being the claim that Troh was “the love of his life.” Long distance relationships are hard in the best of circumstances. But in the 19 years since they had a child together, both have hooked up with others. Marriage would have been fast track to citizenship for him. And now it leaves here with a potential legal claim for loss, when otherwise she would have none.
I find this whole story odd. Furthermore, either the gubbamint is hiding new infections or Ebola is not as contagious as they are saying that it is.
It’s been about 18 or 19 days since reports began hitting the headlines regarding Duncan in Dallas.
No new infections???
When did he apply for and when he receive the visa?
“Marriage would have been fast track to citizenship for him.”
When I read that she had been married twice and both ex husbands had come over here as well, it sure made me wonder. All of her children (that we have heard of so far) were born there but are in the US. I read somewhere that Duncan is one of 7 children himself and I’ve lost count on how many of his family member’s are here.
who had been married twice? the alleged “fiancé” ?
this story is really starting to not add up ...
From: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-thomas-eric-duncan-vigil-20141008-story.html
“Karsiah Duncan, who also goes by Eric, had invited his father to Texas this summer to attend his high school graduation. The visa didn’t come through until August, relatives said. He had not seen his father since he was 3 years old, when he and his mother immigrated to the U.S. The elder Duncan stayed behind in Africa.”
I read an earlier report that he came on a “Fiance Visa”. ( http://www.uscis.gov/family/family-us-citizens/fiancee-visa/fiancee-visas ) Those take a few months to process. In any case, it appears that the Visa request process was initiated well before he was exposed. The critical item of interest seems to be: When did he buy the tickets?” Most people will buy those far enough ahead of time to get a lower price.
The woman's family insisted that she had malaria. Duncan denied having contact with anyone with Ebola--how is that a lie, since he didn't know?
