Four relatives of the Texas Ebola patient who have been confined to their Dallas apartment moved to a home in a gated community the use of which was given to them by an anonymous donor, according to a Dallas city official.
The city had a difficult time finding a home for the family of Thomas Eric Duncan because no one wanted to take them in, according to Sana Syed, a spokesperson for the city of Dallas.
Cleanup crews discovered today that Duncan slept on every mattress in the apartment, said Syed. They previously thought he only slept on one.
All the mattresses, sheets and towels inside the apartment were confiscated and will be incinerated, said Syed. The cleanup will continue for several more days and the car Duncan was in before being taken to the emergency room will be towed.
The family includes two men, a 13-year-old boy named Timothy, and a woman named Louise Troh, who traveled with Duncan from Liberia and has been referred to as Duncan's wife by other family members.
Timothy's father Peterson Wayne told ABC News that he had spoken with his son by phone since he was ordered to remain inside the apartment. Wayne said that his son has been occupying his time by playing games on his phone and sounds fine but "he's the kind of kid who likes to get outside and run around."
"He said he's okay ... He sounded normal," Wayne said of his son.

why quarantine them if you’re moving them all over the damn place?!? jeez they want this to turn into a damn epidemic.
huh? You're joking, right?
Their place was worse than any place in Liberia?
Need privacy? close doors and windows, stay inside.
Cultural respect?! This is America not Liberia. Anyway, weren't they living among Liberians?
It's their own family member who caused this. Why are they being pitied?

This is insane.
Every new thing I hear about this guy only reinforces my contention that this was intentional. He did this on purpose.
I don't believe that he didn't know enough about ebola to avoid it. He handled sick people in Africa, came through some of the busiest airports in the world, slept on all the mattresses in his home, ensuring that his family WOULD be infected.
The blood of anyone who dies from contact with him is on HIS hands and his alone.
Stupid girlfriend let him stay there. She deserves some of the credit.
Wth?
Yes, although, I wouldn’t be surprised in the least that he lied to her as well.
*click* spin *click* spin *click* spin BANG!
Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
Were gonna need
a bigger cart!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Duncan slept on every mattress in the apartment....

What? Who does this?
Good luck with the resale on that house.

Maybe “anonymous donor” is looking to bring down the values of the houses in the gated community and buy up some property cheap.
And Sana probably cannot fathom why, bless her heart?
OUCH!
If he survives his Ebola, he'll probably die from his own stupid.
LMAO! Ya think??
Hey, there are two homes in Hyde Park, Chicago that are available. There is the Obola and the Enabler Jarret homes available. I know for a fact that the owners live in the White House at tax payers’ expense and that they would love to donate them to a worthy cause.
If any of them survive you know they are going to sue because they didn’t get adequate care, or cable tv, or cell phone or food or....
If any of them die you know the relatives will sue. They’re already bitching that they’re being deprived of the experimental medicine.
Somebody who owns a home in a gated community must hate his neighbors.
If he survives his Ebola, he’ll probably die from his own stupid.
Not likely, he’ll marry his American GF and go straight down and file for SSI
