The first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States told health care workers on his initial hospital visit that he had recently been in an area affected by the deadly disease, but that information was not widely shared, a hospital official said Wednesday.Nigeria is irrelevant.Thomas Eric Duncan went to a Dallas emergency room Friday and explained that he was visiting the U.S. from Liberia. He was sent home with antibiotics, according to his sister, Mai Wureh.
Regardless, it is not my responsibility to go finding citations for your definitive statements when all other data is coming from questionable sources (government, media, etc.). Note that I included my references...
You accused me of ‘propaganda’ for stating, truthfully, that Nigeria completely shut down the hospital that Patrick Sawyer went to.
I pointed out that it was NOT ‘propaganda’, but in fact truth.
Nigeria isn’t ‘eat up with’ PC and did what they felt they needed to do to stop the outbreak. Including stopping flights from the affected countries.
And, BTW, Sawyer wasn’t exactly truthful on admission to the hospital in Lagos initially. Only several days later when they finally ran an ebola test because all the OTHER tests they’d run were negative did they find out he’d come from Liberia.
Our ‘elites’ will happy let this disease run wild in this country BEFORE they begin doing ‘unPC’ things to stop it.
BTW, this whole thread was an article in the NYTimes about the Liberian case in LAGOS NIGERIA and how the outbreak from THAT runner was stopped.
Nigeria shut down the hospital the runner went to. Totally. For at least six weeks.
Presbyterian in Dallas is still open.
Nigeria shut down ALL flights from the affected countries. We’re still issuing visas to them.
