I just watched an interview with the neighbors of Duncan. The pregnant woman wasn’t confirmed with Ebola until after he left. The first person to get sick in his neighborhood became ill at the same time that Duncan did and by that time, Duncan was already in the states.
While the reporter was there, an official was making the rounds through the neighborhood trying to get a list of possible contacts. It was after the first man died that people started dropping like flies. By that time, Duncan was already confirmed and in the hospital.
The reporter *specifically* asked if Duncan knew that the pregnant woman had Ebola. The answer was a definitive “No. No one did.”
The vast majority of the articles are speculation written as fact. (Like the rumor that he fled the country to get medical care in the US after being exposed, when he’d been planning this trip for months.)
The fact is that it makes no sense for him to knowingly infect his family.
There are so many rumors that are being taken as gospel truth. People want to blame.
Fine. Then we need to blame the freaking CDC and the Obama administration. They’re the ones who’ve dropped the ball and, in all ways, caused this mess. They are responsible for all of this - including the two sick nurses. And they need to be held accountable. Their ‘don’t panic’ attitude has downplayed the danger to the point where an exposed nurse was free to travel. They should’ve transferred Duncan to Atlanta ASAP, instead they let an ill-equipped, untrained staff deal with it.
“The reporter *specifically* asked if Duncan knew that the pregnant woman had Ebola. The answer was a definitive “No. No one did.””
Malaria is very common in Liberia and reports that I’ve seen say that malaria is what the pregnant woman’s family thought she was suffering from when they carried her to the hospital.
You and I totally disagree on this issue. I believe a lot of whitewashing has been happening since the original facts came out. You believe otherwise. We’ll have to leave it at that.
No, nothing has been confirmed from any hearsay conversation with the duncan family here. Most especially after the *nephew” had his meeting with Jesse Jackson. The news from Liberia and President Sirleaf’s comments that came on the heels of the first Id of Duncan have a much greater probability of being factual about the ebola spread in his family.
Seek out the Liberian web sites for their cooments on this fool and fraud.
His clan has gotten a whiff of money and old Jesse told them how to get it.
They already snagged better housing and probably have been talking to hospital legal reps.
