A Dallas man who was in contact with the first person to be diagnosed with the Ebola virus in the U.S. said in an interview that the Liberian native had been weak and ill in an apartment after trying to seek help at a hospital days earlier.
Joe Joe Jallah said he met the man diagnosed with Ebola, Thomas Eric Duncan, last week when visiting Mr. Jallah's former wife, Louise Troh, the same woman Mr. Duncan had come to see in the U.S.
Numerous members of the Liberian community in North Texas confirmed that Mr. Duncan traveled to the U.S. to visit Ms. Troh, who is also from Liberia. Ms. Troh declined to speak about the situation when reached by phone.
Mr. Jallah, who believed that this was Mr. Duncan's first trip to the U.S., said he was anxious to hear from Mr. Duncan about the situation in Liberia, where Ebola has ravaged parts of the country.
He listened as Mr. Duncan described how dire things had become in Liberia, and how rigorous the health screenings were during his trip to the U.S.
Several days later, on Saturday, Mr. Jallah said he had heard that Mr. Duncan had fallen ill.

Is this man being programmed to give disinformation? Is he serious? Is a non-contact thermometer and a few questions (which the patient lied about) supposed to pass for rigorous?
When the cases get high... Hop a plane to the sky...
That’s Ebola.
When your fever gets high... and you puke pizza pie...
That’s Ebola.
Come sing-a-ling, come sing-a-ling, come sing-a-ling.
When the fever is high...with pain in your thigh...
That’s Ebola.
When the blood starts to flow...on a plane you will go...
That’s Ebola.
That’s Ebola.
When the world starts to spin...like you drank to much gin..
That’s Ebola.

Right.
I hope the sick man gets well.
How rigorous the screenings were? He lied about being in contact with someone with ebola. The screenings rely on people being honest. Not very rigorous.
“I hope the sick man gets well.”
I don’t care what happens to him——and I never thought I’d ever feel that way.
He knew what he was doing.

Well I hope Joe Joe is quarantined quarantined
OMG My Ribs ROFL That was awesome thanks for the laugh.
Now?
We do nothing.

Do a search on the link and you can read the article.
This guy, his daughter and ex wife are going to be in the news soon
No charge.
I can hear Deano singing that.
Now that tune will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day...lol
“He is also struggling to understand how Mr. Duncan was able to arrive in the U.S. despite being sick. “
So are we my friend, so are we. The sick man is a liar. While exhibiting symptoms, he withheld information about handling an Ebola victim in Liberia before arriving to the US, and then exposed his “lady friend” and her daughter to the Ebola virus. Not to mention the people in the community, hospital, airports, plane, etc.
Sorry, but this guy can rot as far as I’m concerned.
Not giving him an out but it wasn’t an OFFICIAL case of Ebola.
The numbers we get are the official numbers and they are nowhere near reality. Those are the few who are lucky enough to make it to a hospital to die.
Nice pic of pResident Obola’s press secretary.........
He just looks so nice and honest...
