• Sidia Rose says Duncan lied to her about caring for a pregnant woman who later died of the disease when she first questioned about it
• He later admitted to taking care of someone who died in Liberia, but then denied the story to Texas public health officials
• Rose says she was terrified of taking care of Duncan, but did so anyway
• Duncan died October 8, but not before infecting two of his nurses at Texas Health Presbyterian
• Amber Vinson and Nina Pham are now free of the disease  

Thomas Eric Duncan lied about his exposure to Ebola to hospital staff and to public health officials, even as he was suffering from projectile vomiting and other symptoms of the horrific disease at Texas Presbyterian, an emergency room nurse has revealed.

Duncan initially claimed that he had not been around anyone who had died when he was in Liberia after he was admitted to the Dallas Hospital last month, Sidia Rose told '60 Minutes' on CBS.

People, people. Duncan isn’t on trial. America is on trial! Just ask the justice brothers.

And this explains why Presby sent him home the first time

STOP IMMIGRATION NOW

Interesting theory.

I did not know about all this. How interesting. Thanks for enlightening me.

I did think there were a lot of things that didn’t smell quite right. Now it looks as if there are even more.

I’d like to see a decent investigative reporter follow the money.

The other thing that bears consideration is the testing. I haven’t seen anything detailed on this subject. There is probably some type of qualitative rapid test and a more elaborate quantitative test that measures the exact amount of virus load. The less specific rapid test could produce a relatively high rate of false positives compared to true positives if the prevalence of the disease is very low.
Of course, the moronic media will not examine this stuff in detail for the moron public.

During the Duncan thing, mention was made of a test machine that gives very accurate results in just hours. Dallas had one, but it wasn’t certified for US use, so they couldn’t use it and didn’t have the proper kit for ebola (Canada has it certified for ebola, though)

Lies in Liberia and the rest of Africa are standard behavior even when there isn’t an ebola epidemic. It’s part of the culture.

Not just Africa.

Ignorant Liberal Americans (but I repeat myself) resolutely refuse to acknowledge that the lowest class Mexicans and others from the south lie, as natural part of their culture. I have yet to meet one exception.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

You’re right.

His $1400 plane ticket was bought by his sister, who lives in Charlotte, NC area. I think his mother & nephew are also there too. I read that in an area paper soon after his case was publicized.

Silson Global is an authorized contractor for UPS. Duncan's former employer was SafeWay Cargo, which is the Liberian customs clearance agent for FedEx. Both companies' business is obviously centered on the airport.

Assuming the ticket agent's email is correct, it's likely Duncan's ticket was issued by a friend who worked at Silson, probably in return for a modest quantity of palm grease.

Also, Duncan had a round-trip ticket, which would have cost well above $1400. It was probably a requirement of his visa that he have a round-trip ticket. However, my guess is his plan was never to use the return half, but instead to become one of the many Liberian visa overstayers in this country and maybe drive a Dallas taxi and/or collect welfare.
