I didn’t dodge your point. I said that he may not have known she had Ebola. The person dying of Ebola was pregnant. As other have mentioned, Ebola in a pregnant woman looks very different from Ebola in other people, and in fact looks a lot like a miscarriage. In a place like Liberia, with much more limited prenatal care than we have here, maternal mortality rates are significantly higher.

So he helped the family attempt to get the woman into the Ebola ward of a hospital, but he had no idea she had Ebola:

“The family of the woman, Marthalene Williams, 19, took her by taxi to a hospital with Mr. Duncan’s help after failing to get an ambulance. Ms. Williams was turned away for lack of space in the hospital’s Ebola treatment ward, the family said, and they took her back home in the evening, hours before she died. Mr. Duncan helped carry her because she was no longer able to walk. In the taxi, Ms. Williams, who was seven months pregnant, had been convulsing.”
