Where is the family? What about the 5 school children that came in contact with Duncan?
This guy was throwing up and reported explosive bowel movements....and no other person in that tiny apartment became exposed?
Quite curious.

We are having discussions about that here too. Seems to be no way some of those people are not already sick. Government officials have to be lying.
According to Louise Troh, Duncan was very private about his illness and attended to himself. I tend to believe that they either knew or suspected that he had Ebola, so they kept him quarantined to one room. Also, one of the relatives is a healthcare worker, and she was the one that warned the paramedics to put on additional gear, so perhaps she was making sure that everyone stayed away from him and decontaminated any areas in the apartment where he may have been.
His viral load may have also been much lower in his first days in the apartment, so there was less chance of contagion.
It is very curious, though, that for a virus that is supposedly so “hard to catch”, why they took everything out of that apartment, including the permanent fixtures and incinerated it. I believe it was 5 or 6 truckloads, for an apartment that was described as “sparsely furnished”. But, no danger here. Move along now...
