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.

Most water treatment plants in the US use surface or ground water. Surface water from lakes or rivers, require filtration. Ground water might also require some treatment, depending upon water quality.
Wastewater treatment plants (sewage treatment) have rigorous criterion by which they may discharge their effluent into other bodies of water. Generally speaking, wastewater isn’t reused as potable water, but maybe reused as nonpotable water, such as irrigation, where it isn’t consumed. It may be disinfected, but may still contain some viral contamination.
Or it could be a scam by the family who doesn’t realize they won’t be in that apartment ever again. They’re thinking ‘FREE MATTRESSES!’ so why not tell the Americans he slept on every mattress.
I’ve wondered that too. The nephew, in an interview with some reporter, kept saying he didn’t understand why Duncan wasn’t getting ZMapp.
And you trust your government with rigorous criteria?
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Here is the thing. If our government and the governments in Africa wanted people to support a vaccine to keep people from getting Ebola, well heck yes, I would be all for that. I would have been all for that twenty years ago.
So why not be honest? With the left, it is usually about gaining power and money and not about the people. I really don’t think they care about dying people.
Perhaps the two brought back here and given ZMapp, was less about who they are other than to whip up upset about why everyone isn’t getting ZMapp.
If there was enough of the stuff, I would be for giving this to any infected person anywhere.
Pretty weird. I do know the left wants world population diminished, so the reason they want to supposedly help, and the reasons we want to help are just not the same.
Two links to ponder, note the date of the first:
And now:

” The French health ministry has authorised the use of four experimental drugs for treating Ebola: Favipiravir, TKM-100-802, ZMapp and ZMabs.
Japan’s Fujifilm Holdings Corp. said in a statement last month that its Avigan treatment, which contains Favipiravir, had been administered to the French Ebola patient.”
Japan has stockpiled enough of this compound to treat 20K patients. They offered it to WHO in AUGUST. So far it seems to have only been used on a French patient.
It showed activity against ebola in the lab in April of this year:

Its all about money lady. I am so tired of manipulation and lies.
I’d guess the filtration membranes won’t stop the bacteria and any chlorine/shock treatment chems they use wouldn’t be concentrated enough to kill it.
Do you boil ALL water, even for showers, pets and dish washing? If you splashed some ‘raw’ water on your skin on the way to the stove, wouldn’t you be infected? OMG, this is really getting scary!
Some studies I’ve read indicate cell exposure to 130deg F heat at for 1 hr kills 30% of the virons; a 2nd treatment for another hr reduces it by 50%; no virons were detected after 5 hrs of 130deg F heat treatment.
So washing utensils and dishes might be a 5 hr process for certainty at pure hot water temperatures.
Prewashing in hot soapy water probably reduces the concentrations considerably.
