>> Makes you wonder if he didn't hurry over here to be taken care of in the US knowing that he would most likely get much better care here . Are maybe he wanted to spread it . I mean really if what I am reading here is correct he was around 5 children that went to 4 different schools . Is this person this stupid ? He had to be seeing death all around him . Read HumbleGirls post just above .
@bbk:
More than likely he didn't start exhibiting symptoms until he was already here in the United States, so he probably didn't know he had it. And most people judge whether they're sick or not on how they "feel." He probably felt as fine as you (hopefully you are doing well this evening) and I are feeling now. If someone came up to you and told you that you had Ebola you might just laugh.
Sure enough, he should have gotten himself tested the minute he stepped back into the country, but then again, our government has known for a while now the situation going on in those parts of Africa....one glance at his passport, and he would have gone in for testing, per order of good ol' Uncle Sam.
Hopefully now, as rocket posted, any day now there'll be some new drug breaking out onto the market to help stop this disease from spreading. It wasn't profitable when it was just the lives of poor Africans, but now that the American public has fear rising, whatever funding they didn't have I'm sure they now have to get something out there and quick. That's one thing I learned since going for my major in the health field. Money talks. Sad thing to say, the best thing to happen for a poor culture in other countries that want a cure for a disease is for an American or a few to contract it. Things get to moving then.
@nikkiole:
Sad but true. As for him coming after helping his friend, it's suspicious. Any person would know not to go near a diseased body or go into the home. Hell I don't go to people's homes if their kids have a cold. It's plausible he got scared when the people around him started falling like flies. Rush to family in the U.S. for help. Question is, did his family know what happened earlier and still allow him to come?
I do know that the powers that be are sheltered from all of this and the general public. Those people have already been inoculated I am sure.
Funny thing is just two nights ago while watching CSI New Orleans they were tracking bubonic plaque ( sorry if spelled wrong). Turns out the dr who found the cure planted it in a navy sub. Holding out for more money and fame fir the cure. We live in a sick world. Someone earlier said this is not the same world as it was just 20 yrs ago. I do know somebody is sleeping and not doing their job. Listening to all these people stutter and choke on words tell me they fear the worst. Everyone is talking about the kids that went to school and parents showing up and taking the kids out of the schools. How many took their kids to mc d's or other places on the way home. I wonder if the lunch lady is freaking out too. All scary sad.
