Oct 26. Zero goes (how?) To hospital, given antibiotics, sent home.
Oct 28. Zero picked up (where?) By EMT
Oct 30. Zero in Intensive care EVD lab verified
Total published history 4 days. From mild flu? Diagnosis ti IC with clear EVD symptoms
What’s wrong with this picture? The apparent speed of EVD as described IMO makes me suspect that Zero’s symptomss are very like Patrick Sawyers’, who managed to get around for a good while undetected and unsuspected. I suspect Zero was symptomatic before he left Africa.
Zero completed the trip Sawyer attempted. Got to be one hell of a contact chain with branches who knows where. TSA/HS should be scouring flight manifests for connecting flights as well as having USA entry info.
The CDC is lying about the small number of contacts...or equivocating if travel was direct by private jet from Europe.
The fact that his itinerary included Brussels leads me to suspect he was not on a private flight. That itinerary would be included in Brussels Airlines travel stops from Monrovia Roberts International Airport.
Covenantor,
Do you mean September and not October?
They aren't releasing any data about who this is, or anything else. Makes me wonder if the patient wasn't on one of the State Department's other unadvertised flights and went off the reservation and all this is just a cover story for the retrieval.
