So he helped the family attempt to get the woman into the Ebola ward of a hospital, but he had no idea she had Ebola:
“The family of the woman, Marthalene Williams, 19, took her by taxi to a hospital with Mr. Duncan’s help after failing to get an ambulance. Ms. Williams was turned away for lack of space in the hospital’s Ebola treatment ward, the family said, and they took her back home in the evening, hours before she died. Mr. Duncan helped carry her because she was no longer able to walk. In the taxi, Ms. Williams, who was seven months pregnant, had been convulsing.”
YES.
DOCTORS have been fooled by pregnant women with Ebola. The virus attacks the oxygen/blood-rich placenta and liquifies the fetus. It’s horrible and the symptoms are NOT typical. The mortality rate for the fetus is 100% and, for the mom, 96-99.5%.
If a doctor can’t tell, how can the layman?
BTW (And this is where I am in a RAGE) the CDC has YET to acknowledge these facts and to warn that pregnant doctors and nurses should NEVER be NEAR a suspected Ebola patient.
Their incompetence makes me SICK.
Other articles indicate otherwise - that the woman’s family (and Duncan) thought it was a miscarriage, and/or thought she had malaria.
