He will be prosecuted for lying on health forms.....

DALLAS -- The Liberian man diagnosed with Ebola while visiting family in Dallas will be prosecuted for lying on health forms, the Associated Press reports.
Liberian authorities say Thomas Eric Duncan wasn't truthful on his health questionnaire at the airport, after being asked if he had been in contact with anyone suffering from the deadly disease.
According to the Associated Press, Duncan wrote "no" when asked that question. Neighbors say Duncan helped a woman who died of the disease while he was in Liberia. At the time, her symptoms were thought to be related to her pregnancy.
Liberian airport officials say Duncan will be prosecuted after he returns home.
Meanwhile Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said Thursday that Duncan's family in Dallas left their home against official requests, and that's why a "control order" was put in place Wednesday night to keep them inside.
The group of four or five people will face criminal charges if they don't stay home or if they visit with anyone outside, health officials said. So far they are not showing symptoms of the deadly disease.
"We have tried and true protocols to protect the public and stop the spread of this disease," Texas Health Commissioner Dr. David Lakey said. "This order gives us the ability to monitor the situation in the most meticulous way."
The family must also be available to give blood samples and be monitored until the incubation period for Ebola has passed on Oct. 19.
On Thursday, News 8 learned that about 80 people are being interviewed after possibly coming into contact with Duncan, who is currently in serious condition at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.
Zach Thompson with Dallas County Health and Human Services spoke with News 8 on Thursday.
"We want to clarify. People may have had contact with this individual, we need to interview them. Close contacts are only those individuals we need to do medical monitoring or taking their temperature. So that number is a small number. The contact number now is up to 80 people. [That] does not mean that they are showing any symptoms, but that's the number of people that has come in contact with the patient," Thompson said on News 8 Daybreak.

Wow, someone would lie about being in contact with a deadly disease? Who would have ever thought that could happen? People didn't stay home as ordered? Not possible.
Haven't these officials ever been to a movie theater in cold season? None of those fuckers stay home. Starting to think they don't want to contain this.Comment
