I suspect that you’re correct. I just read about a Liberian prostitute who gave Ebola to her John, who then infected seven others in the barracks. The John and others all died. I don’t know whether the hooker is alive.
If one is well enough to sell sex to a soldier and able to pass Ebola to that soldier, the “infected patients can’t do much” meme fails. (link at http://www.liberianobserver.com/news/ebola-kills-8-soldiers )
As far as I know, very few autopsies are done on ebola victims. In West Africa I imagine none are performed. But I don’t have any hard facts on that one.
Thanks for the reply.
Seems to me Mr. Duncan would/should be scheduled for an autopsy with extensive tissue samples taken. Like flying in a NIH/USAMRIID team. Not sure I’d trust CDC to unwrap a lollipop today.
Side note: the mystery doctor that was at NIH Bethesda has been releases. Why is he the only ebola patient in the USA that has not been identified? Makes one wonder.
