BOSS, COWORKERS OF EBOLA PATIENT: HE KNEW HE HAD EBOLA, US TRIP WAS 'DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO SURVIVE'

A Liberian man who traveled to the United States four days after having contact with a symptomatic Ebola victim in Monrovia "knew he had Ebola," according to his former boss, who said he abruptly left his job before the incident.

In interviews with the Liberian Observer, one of the nation's largest newspapers, both Thomas Eric Duncan's former boss, Henry Brunson, and an unnamed coworker agree that they believe Duncan knew he had Ebola when he boarded a plane out of Monrovia with a final destination in Texas. Brunson noted that, having come into contact with a pregnant woman who died hours after her interaction with Duncan, he knew of his disease. “If he were in Liberia, he was going to surely die,” Brunson told the paper, saying he was "glad" that Duncan was in a country with adequate medical resources.

Duncan worked as a driver for Brunson at the FedEx contractor SafeWay Cargo until mid-September. According to the Observer, Duncan was involved in a car accident at the end of the tenure at the company, and, according to workers, "having acquired an American visa, he did not care and never returned to work afterwards."

Another unnamed source, described as a FedEx worker in Monrovia, told the Observer that Duncan knew he had Ebola, as well. "A source at FedEx in Monrovia said Mr. Duncan apparently knew he was suffering from the disease and that his best chance of survival was reaching to the United States," writes author Omari Jackson, "a position that a family source denied, when we sought confirmation." The Observer notes that the departure to America, for the source and others consulted, appeared a "desperate attempt to survive."

“Government, don’t let him stay in America like Obamas aunt, uncle etc. send him back the day he is released from hospital. If his friend, wife, kids want to see him, they can travel to Africa and not allowed back in for visiting and Ebola infested country.”

It begins to look like his “release from the hospital” is going to be to the Coroner.
His condition was just downgraded to CRITICAL!

The problem here is that just like Mexican illegals, you really can’t “blame him” for trying to save his own life. It follows then though, that the government has to cut off people like this from the ability to come to the US.

You’re right. He’s a resident of Ghana and Liberia. Ghana and Liberia, both countries where money talks. For all we know his papers are fake. He may not be who he says he is.

If he survives we’re going to have a flood of sick people coming here.

We finding out right now thanks to UK Sunday papers they turn him away

What I’d like to know is where the money for the ticket came from.

Here is a somewhat different possability...

UPDATE: FedEx has released the following statement clarifying Duncan's position at SafeWay:

We have been advised by Safeway Cargo, a FedEx Global Service Provider (GSP) in Liberia, that Mr. Duncan was not employed in the FedEx GSP operation. He was employed as a personal driver for the company's General Manager.

Re the origin of the guy’s visa, just because our country issues the visa doesn’t mean all the rules were followed.

” WASHINGTON DC - A U.S. immigration officer was sentenced on October 3, 2014 to two and a half years in federal prison, for accepting bribes in the form of cash and egg rolls from applicants seeking citizenship and green cards.”
