Desperate people do desperate things. Any of us in that situation would surely have been tempted to do the same thing
Speak for yourself, slumber.
I would never expose my adult children and grandchildren. I would quarantine myself, make my peace with God, and do my best to die gracefully.
I would fight any temptation to save myself at the expense of innocent others.

The guy KNEW he had been exposed to Ebola.
He had a decent savings from his decent job working for a FedEx Contractor, and a U.S. Visa already in his pocket, for his already planned move to the U.S. for the impending Obama amnesty.
When the people around him started to die, his choices came down to dying in hellish misery on a dirt floor in some Liberian hell ward, or get his butt to America, where the media said there was a cure.
He took the only chance he had.
BY doing so, he endangered millions, but that likely never entered into his panicked calculation.
AND THERE COULD BE MILLIONS MORE, just like him, in the future.
I really don’t think I would. Unless I was ignorant of the highly contagious factor (which I can’t believe he would be, having lived among it for years) I would not think I’d be selfish to the degree that I would risk possible suffering and/or death to friends and family and also the strangers who live in a country that is not mine.
I wasn’t wishing that he die but I did feel animosity towards him.
