And I grew up in Africa so I know what the state of Africans and their medical care is all about.
Kent was doing God’s work there.
Risking everyone in this country so he can die on his own soil isn’t benefitting anyone. He is/was a big boy and knew the risks. He should be allowed to live with them and die accordingly if it be God’s will.
I just read an article that the Canadians have recently shown Ebola Zaire to be airborne transmission - from pigs to apes.
It may be my naiveness, but until that happened, I wasn’t that concerned about moving the doctor and missionary to an appropriately safeguarded US facility on non-commercial transport. And this good man (and woman) would have little to no chance where they are. The US and CDC are accustomed to handling dangerous illnesses, so I assumed they would put sufficient safeguards in place (though I grant you they’ve screwed up rather badly recently)
However, I have also read Hot Zone about Ebola Reston and folks who were scared to death of the virus still broke protocol and the virus was able to get out of the building multiple times. Had humans been vulnerable, holy moley.
You are right that folks like these die every day honoring their beliefs and given the increased danger of airborne, I agree with you that this should never have been done.
I apologize for misunderstanding your intent and concern regarding Samaritan’s Purse. I suspect their decision was made as I described above.
