* Thomas Eric Duncan died at 7:51am on Wednesday after receiving no potentially lifesaving blood transfusion or ZMapp
* Five other Ebola patients treated in the U.S. are either cured or in the process of being treated
* Doctors began giving Duncan an experimental antiviral drug on Monday, but it was too late
* Hospital announced 'with profound sadness and heartfelt disappointment' that Duncan died after 'fighting courageously against the insidious disease'
* Duncan exposed 48 people to the disease before he was hospitalized, including his fiancée and two of her children
* His condition took a turn for the worse this weekend and by Tuesday he was unresponsive and medically sedated
* His body still carries the disease and must now be disposed of
* CDC rules call for his remains to be wrapped in a plastic shroud and zipped up in two leak-proof bags then cremated
The family of Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan are venting their outrage that the late Liberian may not have received the same quality of care leading up to his death Wednesday morning as other patients treated in the U.S. for the dreaded virus.
'No one has died of Ebola in the U.S. before. This is the first time,' Duncan's furious nephew Joe Weeks told ABC.
Weeks and others in Duncan's family are calling his treatment 'unfair,' after seeing other patients pulled from the brink of death in government funded evacuation planes and using life-saving blood transfusions and cutting edge drugs...

POS family of a POS.
Parasites indeed.
I think the drug was “ZMAPP” was funded by the US Army and probably with huge grant funding. The company that makes the drug is heavily involved in manufacturing vaccines in conjunction with others. Follow the money. Kentucky Bioprocessing is involved b/c they produce the tobacco the antibodies are grown on...the trail is out there.
There is some question about that. But even if he did say, Liberia, I doubt whether that would have aroused suspicion.
The drug is still experimental and has only been used because patient circumstance has been so dire. Production had not been ramped up because it was not and still is not available on the market.
You don't think they'd love to have enough on hand to treat millions right now? It takes time to create the monoclonal antibodies.
Thanks. Of course, a shyster lawyer may try to have the law declared invalid.
Yeah, well, we've never had a Kenyan Marxist homosexual America-hating racist muslim community organizer in the White House before either, so there you go.
I believe this is true, but I also believe that the Ebola virus is not indigenous to the USA.
Therefore logic would dictate that virus would need to be introduced to the area before death would occur from same.
Not to treat millions, but the date the drug was exhausted is listed as August. My point is not that it isn’t equipped to treat millions but that the information indicates there is nothing at all. But there is payroll and operations to pay for. It makes no sense to me.
The hospital said that he said “Africa”. But then the hospital admitted that the CDC requires that an answer of “Africa” and ANY fever means quarantine and test. They failed and they admitted that.
I think the CDC should have shipped him and all the racist supporters back to Africa. That includes the two revs. I still wish all the cotton farmers had picked cotton like my two sisters and I did in the 50s and 60s.
My understanding is that the drug is still experimental and was only used to treat the few ebola patient that it was because they likely would have died otherwise. It’s not yet approved.
Seems he had the freedom to die where he wanted, and didn’t seek medical attention promptly.
Well, you have me there.
Sock needed to stuff into ungrateful mouth.
And now, thanks to your selfish, idiot relative, how many more will die? Kiss my @$$. You ingrates. The others who were saved were known to have had the disease from the get-go, and were treated within enough time. Your moron didn't inform the right people, even if the hospital screwed up, and now he's dead, and may take others with him. Go to Hell.
Wasn’t there a story a couple weeks ago that indicated that there are 200,000 already existing visas from infected countries? Cancel them!
A lot more than 48 were exposed, I suspect.
Sure, give them $2 million. Then give them the bill for all of the crap that we spent on his African ass since he got here.
What a bunch of A-holes.
The hospital bill alone was $500,000 per another article.
