This predator virus has a two to twenty one day incubation period, and the infected person is contagious during this period.

Not accurate. The incubation period is as you say, but it's from exposure to start of symptoms. As far as we know, a person is not contagious during the incubation period, but only after symptoms appear.

BTW, with regard to all these claims of Duncan being an evil and selfish man.

He assisted a neighbor whose daughter was deathly ill with what he surely knew might be Ebola. He helped transport her around the city, without any protective gear, to try to get her help, then helped return her home when none was available.

How many of us would do the same for a friend or neighbor?

He most certainly did not know he had the disease, as he left on a previously purchased ticket only three days or so after the presumed exposure. By no means everybody who is exposed gets the disease, or there would be a great many more cases than there are. For instance, the body disposal guys recently went on strike for hazard pay. If this were a wildly contagious disease, all of them would have been dead long ago, not alive and on strike.

And he lied and said he did not handle or was exposed to ebola to get out of the country.

I’m just citing facts from an article I found after searching, ‘Ebola incubation period’.
Ex-spurts, ya know.

Yeah, you’re right. We should all be deeply appreciative of this gentleman taking the time and trouble to go out of his way and share a little bit of his diverse Kultur with us.

Apparently we don't know very far.
