I sort of expected that for several reason including many from third world countries are already compromised from a harsh environment and/or poor diet. Then he traveled internationally-plane trips drag me down something fierce. Then he was admitted, discharged, readmitted. Those 3 days put his body in such a hole he never recovered especially fluids. When I heard he was on dialysis I sort of figured he was done.

Didn't agree with what he did or what happened to him but I hope he rests in peace.
 

we still have a few more here in the United States with this Ebola,so dont relax yet.

Which would've been a fight the government would've backed out of for pc reasons. If he lived I would've charged and deported him. Just the mention of charges should make others think.
 
Yes saw it, a sad feeling came over me. My condolences go out to those he was loved by. I'll try to refrain from getting into the moral wrongs of what he did, I just still felt sad about the passing of a human being under the circumstances of such a horrible swift killing disease. Though I do hope others that came in contact weren't harmed that came in contact.

No... I believe the only other cases are those Americans that were brought back from Liberia after having contracted the disease.

Aye, think they all brought it back with them. They didn't catch it in the US. There's a case in Spain where I think it's a cleaner who caught it after she cleaned an ebola patient's room.

I was living in Uganda when they had an outbreak in 2008 or 09. Scary.
 
Not a cleaner in Spain.....a nurse.
the problem is that, although MSF have been yelling about this since Before June; nobody has bothered very much, until it has reached their own shores...I hope we are not doing too little too late...

Sad but true. If we don't see it, or can look the other way, it doesn't exist.
 
They now have a person who visited the apartment Duncan was in. I think it's a policeman... He has some sort of symptoms, but it's not been shown to be ebola as of yet. So far the family is asymptomatic.

Shouldn't he and his family be in quarantine? This is Ebola for cryin out loud.

That said I'm sorry for the victim. It's a painful, frightening way to die and nobody deserves that.
 
Education is really important now.

We now have a woman, a nurse who has been volunteering with the Red Cross in Sierra Leone, who is now being monitored/treated in a Brisbane hospital.

She arrived home without symptoms on the weekend and has followed the proper protocols by isolating herself in home quarantine and monitoring her temperature. As soon as she registered a low grade fever she reported herself and was told to come to hospital.

Tests are being undertaken to determine whether she has the virus.

People need to know what to do about this public health threat to avoid denial and panic.
