So how many people were involved with transporting and caring for this single individual. I have to believe they knew he was going to die.

They needed a fresh Ebola corpse/speciman for research.

That's about it. I think his wife said she'd pick up the tab to fly him here...Yeh...right.

He was resident by marriage.

Wow, it seemed to move very quickly in this case and was not reversible.

Who will write his life story and make money off his death?

10 people have been treated?? I don't think 10 have been in the newspaper.

The article revealed that there is a new batch of Zmapp. I'm sure there's some in the Whitehouse Fridge.

According to the article.

"The U.S. State Department said it helped facilitate the transfer of Salia; the U.S. Embassy in Freetown said he paid for the expensive evacuation. The travel costs and care of other Ebola patients flown to the U.S. have been covered by the groups they worked for in West Africa."

A good man died today.

If the test says you are Ebola-free, we assume you are Ebola-free

His isn't the first test that's come back negative and it won't be the last. With this strain of Ebola, 13% don't get a fever and only 18% go hemorrhagic so many may not know they have it until it's too late. Sure, his wife wanted the best for him but he was already too far gone and now all that money and services were wasted.

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — When Martin Salia’s Ebola test came back negative, his friends and colleagues threw their arms around him. They shook his hand. They patted him on the back. They removed their protective gear and cried.

How many in that group will now have Ebola? Where are those people now?

Brantly, Writebol, Duncan, the two Dallas nurses, the NBC reporter, Spencer, Sacra, an un-named doctor treated at Emory and Salia makes ten. However, there was one big honcho who they secreted away at Bethesda which makes 11. No telling how many others weren't reported.

"Salia, a Sierra Leone citizen who was a permanent resident of the U.S. and lived in Maryland, first showed Ebola symptoms on Nov. 6 but tested negative for the virus. He eventually tested positive on Monday."

Not a very protracted course. The doctor's death does raise a host of new questions -- so maybe it's not surprising that it doesn't seem to be getting appropriate attention from the media.

This is a good example for why that bitchy nurse should have been forcibly quarentined instead of being allowed to go on bike rides with her boyfriend.

Never could quite figure that one out, why would someone who goes off to Africa to care for sick people, return to America and not care if she will transmit a deadly disease? Doesn’t sound like she has a big heart, what is the incentive? There must be something we’re missing.

It was not quickly. His first symptoms showed up in early November. He had his first Ebola test Nov. 6. It was negative. My understanding now is that his second test on the 8th was also negative, even though he was throwing up and had diarrhea with the fever. It wasn’t until the third test taken on the 10th that he tested positive. He was symptomatic well before his results tested positive. So there’s a problem with false negatives here.

It only makes sense when you look honestly at the liberal mindset.

Liberals/commies/Democrats, whatever they are labeled today, hate America and Americans, especially white Americans. If the liberal happens to be white, they suffer from a self-loathing that defies human comprehension. If they could exterminate the entire white American population, they would consider it a noble contribution to their cause.

From that perspective, everything the liberals say and do makes perfect sense.

Hmm yes, it would seem so.

But I suppose by quickly I meant how soon he died after arriving here, but apparently it was more advanced than I assumed.
