Ebola patient in Texas has died

[Anonymous]

He got the best care available, certainly better than he know he would have gotten in Liberia.

But that's partially his own fault. Why didn't he scream Ebola the first time? If I'd just come from Liberia and fell ill like that, I'd be terrified of it. I wouldn't let them send me home with antibiotics. But keep insisting he got "poor care".

This! It was his own fault. He should of told all the staff at the hospital the first time he was from Liberia and could have been exposed to Ebola. He should have spoken up.

Not really buying it, given the state of Liberia worh Ebola.

Just read a long article about the situation where he was living. It seems like the surrounding hamlets in Liberia found out the woman had ebola from OUR media. Apparently, her parents denied ebola and said that she had malaria. They also claimed that she was in preterm labor. I can see how the whole pregnancy thing can catch people off guard, distract them, and make them think otherwise. The parents lied and they eventaully died. Locals were about to threaten their lives for being dishonest, but retribution is not possible since they are dead. Half of her complex died of ebola and she was the first case. They were influential (landlords/owned the "apartments") and selfish.

Exactly this. I read they explained the blood away as her miscarrying. This is why Duncan and others were helping not realizing it was ebola.

It is spin and politically correct but morally abhorrent. I am a democrat and am sick of the BS.

What's morally abhorrent? The parents telling their tenants that the daughter had malaria and pregnancy complications?

He did tell them he had recently come from Liberia. The hospital has admitted that.
