Thomas A. Duncan, who became ill with Ebola after arriving from West Africa in Dallas two weeks ago, succumbed to the virus today (Sunday), reports Reuters. Duncan was fighting for his life at a Dallas hospital on today after his condition worsened to critical, according to the director of the US Centers for Disease Control.

The Dallas hospital that admitted him did not recognize the deadly disease at first and sent him home, only for him to return two days later by ambulance.

Good.

Now at least he will not benefit from the healthcare system.....and people will see it is not a panacea.

[jodster36]

What will be blacked out is the fate of the close contacts. I suspect we will never hear when they are diagnosed...

You are 100% correct on that!

Nothing on any other site Not Drudge Fox CNN. CNN talking about prosecuting him. Isn’t it comforting to know we have to leave the country to find out what’s going on.

[Sacajaweau]

Naw....Our government is so stupid, they’ll want to divvy up the parts for experiments.

[dayglored]

Not true yet.

I believe it will be true eventually. But REUTERS.COM isn't carrying any such story. Original article is off-base. At the moment.

I am calling BS on this report.

NO ONE else is reporting it, even locally.

Duncan didn’t look good when he landed in Dallas. Those red eyes could be jet lag...

They could be holding on to news of his passing until his relatives have been informed.

Those red eyes could be jet lag...

I guess it must have been the "Red Eye" flight.

Thank you, I'm here all week, try the veal.

[tennmountainman]

I am too. Just did another Google search under his name.
No breaking news of his death.

[factoryrat]

Reminds me of something I read of an account from the dark ages, where an enemy laying siege to a castle would catapult dead animal carcasses over the walls in an attempt to poison the people inside. Germ warfare and bio-terrorism are not a new warfare technique. The only difference is the technology available to the aggressor.

[tennmountainman]

Or until they get the body out of the hospital to a creamitorium.

[jetson]

Israel is twelve hours ahead of us so they get the news first.

[Empireoftheatom48]

We shall see not quite believing this yet!

[mylife]

Maybe Israelis don’t watch football, and they have the scoop, but I doubt it.

[eyedigress]

Well, since you can only get the disease from licking the blisters of those infected, I don’t understand the concern.

When secondary infections come down the pike, the public is going to see this Screw-off for what he is and always has been.

[mylife]

Ummm Dallas would have the news first.

[EBH]

Oh you missed the biggest bigotry...

He was turned away at the hospital the first time and sent home...

Do you think they could have saved the black man if they had treated him to begin with 2 days earlier?

[DoughtyOne]

That last thought was something that I wondered about also.
