[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't believe he received sub-standard care, but at first glance, I can understand it seeming strange that every white person treated for Ebola in the US has survived while the only West African to receive treatment here has died.  [/quote]

"Since Saturday, Mr. Duncan had been receiving brincidofovir — an experimental drug developed to fight smallpox and other highly infectious viruses. The C.D.C. said there are no more doses of ZMapp, another experimental drug used on two American aid workers who later recovered from Ebola."

-from article above.

If his family sues, alleging sub-standard care, it is not just a slap in the face to the health care workers in Texas who risked their lives to treat him.

It would also be a slap in the face to the United States, who cared for him despite the fact that he lied on a screening form before coming here, failed to inform the hospital during his 1st visit on the 24th, and exposed others thereafter.

Don't forget that the president yesterday mocked the paltry response to Ebola by the rest of the world.  He is right: we have done far more than anyone.  [/quote]
