You would think this guy would of known better being a doctor who actually treated Ebola patients. As we’ve seen so many times in life smart people hardly ever use common sense.
Doctors are permitted a choice of oaths. Some take the Hippocrates oath. Some take the Mengele oath. The ebowler obviously took the latter.
Which is why I smell a rat. We've been given no time frame: For instance, WHEN did he get back from Liberia (or whichever plague-infested state he came from)?; or WHERE had he been moving around before going out on Wednesday evening?; or had he self-quarantined?; or what is happening to/with his family and friends? etc, etc.
We get one trickle of information, in a society that tries carefully to control the flow of information, which repeats the same pathetically few random "facts" -- subway, bowling, 103, taxi, doctor....
For me, this oddness could be taken several different ways:
1) It is as is being said. With gov't news being doled out (in the characteristically clumsy "transparent" fashion we've become accustomed to)
2) It's a put-up job--by gov't. He doesn't actually have ebola... maybe some other (self-inflicted) less-virulent thing. Purpose of which might be to demonstrate how much exposure can be tolerated before the virus is transmitted (a demonstration under false pretenses, obviously--just in case they're wrong)
3) It's a put-up job by people who'd like the big apple to melt down in a huge episode of paranoia. Or perhaps by people who'd like to see the borders closed faster.
For the moment, I hold with #1 per Occam's Razor.
If anyone has information that speaks to the things I said we didn't know, please feel free to correct. But I'd very much like to know if anyone else is bothered by the same inconsistencies.
Basically, it just seems strange to me. But I'm willing to be enlightened. fh
