...”How racist is that - Duncan doesn’t get transfusion, photojournalist white does. Screaming and howling any minute now”....
Yes Duncan was offered blood by the same guy.....the hospital was contacted regarding that.
People need to remember Duncan eyes were already blood shot when his niece called the ambulance, so he was already bleeding out. Some medications would make him worse, which is why “Z” was withheld and the other used in his case. These are all different patients at different places in how far Ebola has progressed in their system....it won’t be the same for each one because they may or may not have specifice symptoms.
These cries of racism before you know the facts sounds just like the Ferguson people.....further it makes the “cause” all the more insignificant.
Very true-everyone reacts differently to it as with any illness/virus—also his eyes could have been bloodshot due to petechial hemorrhage from vomiting violently, but as you said: we just don’t know.
And the fact that there is no “magic” cure for Ebola is what makes it so scary—it isn’t a guarantee of survival just because someone gets ZMapp and someone doesn’t...for people to make this racial is absolutely sickening and I have been reading comments here and there on the web all day saying Duncan died because he was black-and this after all of the FREE care he received where people put them self at risk—and we all know that’s the ONLY reason Jesse is around—I see a candlelight vigil in the future...
