Family: Ebola patient's condition disturbing (Jesse Jackson now in the mix)
Yahoo! News / The Associated Press ^ | October 7, 2014 | Emily Schmall

The family of a man diagnosed with the first U.S. case of Ebola again visited him at the hospital Tuesday but declined to view him via video because the last time had been too upsetting.

Relatives of Thomas Eric Duncan glimpsed him using a video system at Dallas' Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Monday. But when they returned anew, this time with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, they decided such images were too much.

"What we saw was very painful. It didn't look good," said Duncan's nephew, Josephus Weeks....

Given that an ebola patent’s veins are as robust as over-cooked manicotti, I’d like to know how they are doing dialysis.

I think he is dead and they aren’t going to tell the public for political reasons. Also, it will be nothing but a miracle if that girlfriend or whatever she is doesn’t get it. Clay Jenkins has been squiring them around and has a daughter in my kids district. The parents are mad at him. He is just a liberal fool.

I cannot believe that this man knowingly infected his fiance and children. That is not the rational choice.

Perhaps a brain bleed affecting his ability to think?

Or more likely a sociopath.

It sounds to me like the devil White and possibly Asian physicians are saving his life and Jessie is rushing in to tarnish this achievement with his reflexive brand of hatred.

Jesse Jackson is a virus and he’s very contagious among certain members of the population.

Whatever. The dude was on a respirator with his kidneys shut down days ago. He could be considerably melted by now.

He is probably in a vegetative state, with his eyes fixed open and completely unresponsive. The virus is destroying his brain. Any function now is “lizard brain” stuff.

He probably has pools of blood under a very thin sheet of skin. He is probably oozing blood from every small opening.

There is no reason to use a ventilator, his lungs are pretty much shot. His kidneys stopped days ago.

He is dead. His heart just hasn’t stopped yet.

Dying from this stuff is a nightmare.

Except

It almost sounds like the guy is just being kept alive by a ventilator and a kidney machine.

I think he is deader than dead. I figured he was now just being used as a lab rat to see the effects of the antiviral meds.

Truthfully, I think the "not saying he's dead" due to the midterm elections makes more sense.

Maybe the revs Al and Jesse was checking who to shake down and found out it was Judy Faulkner with her medical information system and her errors and omissions insurance carrier. Might just be some nervous little stockholders having a secret board meeting tonight. Whatchall think?

The smell of a man being liquefied internally by a horrible virus can not over power Jackson’s olfactory abilities to smell money.

“Duncan grew up in Liberia but came to Dallas in late September to attend the high school graduation of his son, Karsiah.”

I wonder if he was three months late for his son’s high school graduation, nine months early—or not here for that reason at all.
