OMFG.  So that huge statement of going in without protect clothes on could get this guy killed.  I hope it's something else.  FFS.  just stop with the political correctness already.  Because of course if he responds well to treatment because he got in early then who knows how Jesse Jackson will spin that.

By the way - everyone yelling he didn't know it was ebola.  Ok fine - why the hell wouldn't he have said "I WAS WITH A PERSON WHO DIED OF MALARIA" on first hospital visit?  MALARIA MALARIA MALARIA!!!!  That would have gotten some attention too.

I have recently spent a lot of time with several people who have non-communicable illnesses.  If, for some reason, I suddenly needed to go to the ER with a low grade fever and upset stomach, it would never occur to me to tell the E.R., oh, and by the way I recently visited my mother who has osteoarthritis, and one of my students is suffering from hay fever, and another has a sprained ankle, because I know that none of those illnesses are contagious.  Neither is malaria.[/quote]

I don't know.  If entire villages were dropping dead after hanging out with the one person who had hay fever, I might drop that nugget of information.
