Family of US Ebola Patient Moves into Donated Home in Gated Community
abc ^ | 10/3/14 | NIKKI BATTISTE, CECILIA VEGA

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.

I’m guessing that this somehow violates the HOA...

Possibly.
Probably have to torch the house later. Does property insurance cover ebola clean up?

I wish I was joking. That presser was really, I have no words. Pathetic? I am a compassionate person, but there are American citizens that aren’t “helped like this” and homeless Veterans. I’m stunned. I’m sure the other families living in the “Ivy” are wondering where their gated house is, their laptops, their apology......

Gated community? I guess in order to be fair the middle and upper class has to contract Ebola too.

From the article:

“.....Cleanup crews discovered today that Duncan slept on every mattress in the apartment,said Syed. They previously thought he only slept on one.
....”

This whole thing was deliberate, from.the time he got on the plane to this.

Who sleeps on ALL the beds in the house??

If nobody who had the closest contact with this guy catches Ebola, I am going to have to question whether this whole thing is even real. With this administration, anything is possible.

The family that got moved were griping mightily about having to be quarantined. Things aren’t adding up here.

"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 member"

If they were about to be married and that was the reason for him returning, why did he buy a round trip plane ticket back to Sierre Leone when his flight originated in Liberia?

I thought of it. What about the water treatment plants and the fact that water gets recycled after being treated. In northern Florida we have boil water notices all the time because sometimes bacterial, viral load (whatever it is) numbers are too high in the water to be safe to consume. Auggggghhhhh geez I’m scaring myself.

It seems they have us over a barrel but it only seems that way. Chaos theory has a way of evening things out for all involved.

I tell me husband that all the time. Everyone bitches about the press and how they cook books, poll numbers, etc., so how can you trust them on something like this.

EVERYTHING THE MEDIA WHORES SAY IS SUSPECT.
