America’s first ebola patient not only likely knew he had ebola on his way to America, but was sent home from a Dallas hospital only to be seen throwing up two days later all over the place outside his apartment before being admitted again.
Not only that, but he had contact with up to 18 people here in America, including 5 children who went to school.
Needless to say, this could be far larger than the CDC let on yesterday:
REUTERS – Two days after he was sent home from a Dallas hospital, the man who is the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the United States was seen vomiting on the ground outside an apartment complex as he was bundled into an ambulance.
“His whole family was screaming. He got outside and he was throwing up all over the place,” resident Mesud Osmanovic, 21, said on Wednesday, describing the chaotic scene before the man was admitted to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday where he is in serious condition.
The hospital cited the man’s privacy as the reason for not identifying him. However, Gee Melish, who said he was a family friend, identified the man in Texas infected with Ebola as Thomas Eric Duncan.
The New York Times said that Duncan, in his mid-40s, helped transport a pregnant woman suffering from Ebola to a hospital in Liberia, where she was turned away for lack of space. Duncan helped bring the woman back to her family’s home and carried her into the house, where she later died, the newspaper reported. Four days later Duncan left for the United States, the Times said, citing the woman’s parents and neighbors.
Texas health officials said that up to 18 people, including five children, had contact with the Ebola patient after he traveled to the United States from Liberia in late September. The children had gone to school early this week but have since been sent home and are being monitored for symptoms.
The Dallas Ebola case has prompted national concern over the potential for a wider spread of the deadly virus from West Africa, where at least 3,338 people have died in the worst outbreak on record.
U.S. health officials have said the country’s healthcare system was well prepared to contain any spread of Ebola, through careful tracking of people who had contact with the patient and appropriate care for those admitted to hospital.

To have unprotected contact with an ebola patient and then fly back to see your family just 4 days later, it boggles my mind. I see why they didn't want to identify this fuckwit.Comment

United Airlines is scrambling to alert the hundreds of passengers who shared twi planes with the first Ebola patient on U.S. soil.
Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian national, arrived in the U.S. at Washington Dulles International Airport on United Flight 951 on September 20, the airline revealed today.
He then boarded United Flight 822 to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
U.S. officials had previously refused to provide details of his itinerary, claiming none of his fellow passengers were at risk because he was not showing symptoms at that time.
United Airlines released the details of Duncan’s journey on Wednesday night. He left September 19 from Monrovia, Liberia, and flew to Brussels. From Brussels, he caught a United Airlines flight to the U.S.
The revelation that Duncan entered the United States on one side of the nation then boarded a domestic flight to Texas shows just how quickly the disease can spread if infected patients are not stopped at the border.I wear a Fez. Fez-es are coolComment

A patient placed in isolation at a Honolulu-area hospital Wednesday may be infected with the Ebola virus, officials told KHON-TV.
The Department of Health confirmed to the Hawaii outlet that the patient is currently undergoing a battery of tests, but has yet to be specifically tested for the deadly virus.
The officials declined to provide KHON with any details regarding symptoms and would not say whether or not the patient has been to West Africa recently.

Officials, however, said they are working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but cautioned the public not to worry at this stage.
No other details were immediately available. A representative from the Hawaii Department of Public Health was not immediately available for comment to TheBlaze.
A man was diagnosed this week with Ebola in Dallas, Texas this week and is currently undergoing treatment.
