An emergency room nurse who treated Thomas Eric Duncan said in an interview broadcast Sunday night that the first person to die of Ebola in the U.S. was not honest about his exposure to the deadly virus.
Sidia Rose told “60 Minutes” that Duncan said during his second trip to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas that he had not been in contact with anyone who had been sick.
“I explained to him, ‘We are under the impression that you may have been exposed to Ebola.’ And I said, ‘Where are you from?’ And he told me Liberia,” she said.
“And I asked ‘Have you been in contact with anyone who's been sick?’ ”
“No. He said no,” Rose said.
Rose said Duncan then told her that his family had suffered a loss in Liberia. Duncan added that his daughter, who had died in childbirth, did not have Ebola, however.
Rose said Duncan later denied that story, about his travels and the death of his pregnant daughter, to Texas state health officials.
Nurses in the emergency room and intensive care unit also described efforts to protect themselves from Ebola as well as Duncan’s final days.
Rose said her neck was exposed during her initial questioning of Duncan in the emergency room, adding that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention protocols were deficient.
Rose also described Duncan as “very kind and appreciative.”
“Even something as simple as me just giving him cold wash cloth to cool his face down because his fever wasn't breaking-- even that he was grateful for. He told me thanks,” she said.
Rose said she’s passed the 21-day monitoring period for her contact with Duncan but is still being monitored for possible exposure from Nina Pham, a nurse who treated Duncan and contracted Ebola.
“I've been asymptomatic. My temperature has been rock solid,” she said.
Here’s a quote from D’Souza’s promotional page. It is explanatory:
“What really motivates Barack Obama is an inherited rage—an often masked, but profound rage that comes from his African father; an anticolonialist rage against Western dominance, and most especially against the wealth and power of the very nation Barack Obama now leads. It is this rage that explains the previously inexplicable, and that gives us a startling look at what might lie ahead.
In The Roots of Obama’s Rage you’ll learn:
Why Obama’s economic policies are actually designed to make America poorer compared to the rest of the world
Why Obama will welcome a nuclear Iran
Why Obama sees America as a rogue nation—worse than North Korea
The real reason Obama banished a bust of Winston Churchill from the White House and ordered NASA to praise the scientific contributions of Muslims
Why Obama would like to make America’s superpower status a thing of the past.”

You are correct, the young woman (reportedly the daughter of Duncan’s landlord) was pregnant but also showing signs of full-blown Ebola and that’s why she was taken to the hospital. They were turned away because the Ebola ward was full. The woman returned to her parent’s home and died that evening.
As I posed on another thread a few weeks ago, the connection between the woman and Duncan has not been fully explored. From what little we know, it appears the woman and her family lived in Monrovia—the same city where Duncan resided with her parents. If she visited her parents on a regular basis, there’s a pretty good chance Duncan came into contact with her well before the taxi incident, which could radically alter Ducan’s exposure timeline and the period when he was contagious.
... and we just sit here, behind our keyboards, watching our own destruction from a foreign born, communist dictator.
Interesting analysis. We may never have all the questions answered. For one thing, Monrovia is too risky for reporters right now.
Of perhaps greater significance, however, is the definite change of narrative for Duncan’s Ebola exposure. Whether it is motivated by the possibility of a lawsuit, or for other considerations, a traceable shift has occurred. Whereas it was originally openly acknowledged that Duncan had had close contact with an advanced-stage Ebola victim, now the story is the woman had a pregnancy crisis only. One has to be fairly gullible to believe that story, but now that Duncan’s friends & family have settled on it, they’re not likely to budge.
‘foreign born’
+1
And the kicker is that his finance, coached by the race hustler Jackson will sue the hospital and win big.
His race trumps the truth. I think it’s called black privilege.
Firing squad would splatter a bunch of blood around. They’re actually pretty messy.
My gut feeling all along was that the ‘landlord’s daughter’ was either Duncan’s own daughter or (most probable) baby mama and he knew of her illness and his exposure.
I also believe he strung a chain of lies to absolve himself after he knowingly fled for treaent. His actions might seem moot at this point, until the next Duncan pops up.
I told you this morning Christie would ‘reverse’.....
AND HE DID!
I guess you’re happy huh? I’m not. It’s too bad a corrupt federal government can badger and threaten a Governor. I won’t vote for him or a Bush. Only Cruz now.
Bingo. Obama and Co. oppose this because it’s a federalism issue. States can’t have power. They’re too racist and independent.
PING!
. . . unless they're imposing strict gun control laws.
knowing what we do about him maybe he took her to the hospital to dump her there..
Well you don’t know me ....I’m not happy at all!...I wish he had stuck to his convictions!
What percentage of married men in America do you reckon use prostitutes?
