The first patient to be diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. was identified Wednesday as Thomas Eric Duncan.

Thomas Eric Duncan, identified by a former employer and seen in this undated Facebook photo, is the first Ebola patient to be diagnosed in the United States.

Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital sent Duncan home on September 26 despite telling a nurese he had traveled to the United States from Ebola-ravaged West Africa. (ABC)

Thomas Duncan was vomiting wildly outside of this apartment on the way to the hospital.
Yahoo reported:

Two days after he was sent home from a Dallas hospital, the man who is the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the United States was seen vomiting on the ground outside an apartment complex as he was bundled into an ambulance.

His whole family was screaming. He got outside and he was throwing up all over the place,” resident Mesud Osmanovic, 21, said on Wednesday, describing the chaotic scene before the man was admitted to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday where he is in serious condition.

The hospital cited the man’s privacy as the reason for not identifying him. However, Gee Melish, who said he was a family friend, identified the man in Texas infected with Ebola as Thomas Eric Duncan.

Duncan’s sister Mai Wureh told the Associated Press it was her brother who is at the center of the country’s latest Ebola scare.

“”We know he applied for his VISA prior to the exposure.””


Do you have a source for that information as to when he applied and received his Visa?

Your SIL should be on post-exposure prophylaxis therapy (usually a ‘triple drug regimen’) for awhile, and they should have started it right after the needle stick.

I tried to find the original source without luck. The NY Times has been doing good reporting from Liberia and that’s where I think I read about his VISA. Here is the best report on the matter:

Thanks,

Knowing that it usuallly takes months to get a visa, I am curious to know when he applied and when he received his visa.

Or did he get expedited service?

Totally agree with you. But Dear Leader is bent on killing us all and turning our land into a mass burial ground.

When the first American doctor was brought back for treatment, I looked up how long the virus can live outside the body, and at that time I read up to 8 days. Now when I try to find the info, it says 2 hours to 2 days. Maybe that is in a well controlled laboratory setting? I’m just not sure, but I’d try to disinfect as much as I could.

"The five students who came into contact with Mr. Duncan attend four Dallas-area public schools. They have been advised to stay home from school. The students — at a high school, a middle school and two elementary schools — are under observation by county health officials. “The students don’t have symptoms, so the odds of passing on the virus is very low,” said Mike Miles, the Dallas district’s superintendent."

Advised. Under observation. Great, just great.
