I have a good sense of humor and the absurd, but I actually find that somewhat offensive.
This isn’t politics. It’s life or death.
A doctor who has been in the hot zone would know that earlier intervention means a greater chance of survival. I seriously doubt that he would have intentionally exposed others, but self-reported when he realized he was symptomatic.
This doctor is in terrible trouble, and it’s just not seemly to make fun of the situation.
“I have a good sense of humor and the absurd, but I actually find that somewhat offensive.

And the politicians are saying that in order to keep it from spreading people from west Africa should be given visas and allowed to travel out of their respective countries and into ours and every other one that’ll let them.
The doctor is in terrible trouble and knew he could be infected but STILL PUT OTHER PEOPLE IN HARMS WAY.
He would make a great abortionist.
The doctor is a LIB idiot. He risks NYC residents getting ebola because he couldn’t self-quarantine before returning to this country? Then the fool takes transportation and goes bowling????? What a complete idiot.
Thank you, Jedidah.
As every reasonable person is, I’m very concerned about ebola; and I don’t think it’s a laughing matter.
However, I’m also concerned that some of the people in health care who have dealt with it, don’t seem to be taking the precautions that they should be taking; or else nobody is creating protocols for this.
It would seem to be a simple and natural precaution, to avoid public transportation and public contact for awhile, after returning to the US after caring for ebola patients in West Africa. The same for healthcare workers who attend ebola patients in the US. Some people have been extremely responsible.
My prayers go out to this man, and everyone that he may have been in contact with since coming back. I’m very encouraged by Nina Pham’s improvement, and pray that we can contain this.
There seems to be a crucial point of infectiousness - none of Duncan’s apartment-mates have come down with it, as far as we know. We also know that early care in the US, with our sanitary protocols and medical knowledge, has resulted in a very high cure rate (again, as far as we know).
I think we have great reason for optimism. My main concern tonight is that health care facilities may become overwhelmed: ‘Flu season is upon us now.
