You get a fever and tell me how you caught it. I got the flu from my husband last winter and it nearly killed both of us. He has NO idea where he caught it. Ebola spreads exactly like the flu.
I am sorry but what are you talking about. This scenario. Thomas Duncan told his friend in Liberia, he wanted to get to America because he was frightened that he had Ebola. His friend said while he agreed with Duncan’s thinking, to get to a better country with better medical care; he thought Duncan was very wrong not to inform the hospital on day 1 when he was in the ER that a few days prior, he had been handling victims of Ebola and 2 of those patients had died.
Yes, some ERs have inefficient staff/ medical teams. I have been through that several times. In this case, Duncan should have told the ER staff of his travel history and the patients he was with; to protect the other innocent workers and people visiting the hospital for many reasons. Duncan, himself lost a few days of treatment for not disclosing this data.
