Its Jesse Jackson.... he'll find a way

100% agreed.

god bless.

The fiancee/wife/mother or whatever she is is already doing that. She's saying the hospital isn't doing everything in their power to keep him alive. She said something along the lines of "He's been in there since Sunday, he should be home already" last night on Anderson Cooper. Also, according to her, everyone is lying about Duncan lying on his forms. She claims he didn't lie.

Uhhhh. Ebola isn't a case of the fucking flu or something..... This is why we shouldn't interview people who aren't experts on a topic....

It was painful to watch. In her defense she didn't understand a lot of what was being asked. But what she did understand, she made herself look painfully stupid to anyone with a brain.


Luckily for CNN, the vast majority of their viewers lack one.

I'm sure Jackson will claim that the delay in finding and giving Duncan the experimental drugs/meds has something to do with him being black, which makes about as much sense as claiming we haven't cured HIV because it only effects "the gays" as I've heard liberals claim in the past.

Didn't the mods already combine 5 or 6 ebola threads into 1, yet now you tards are making more again?

Methinks Jesse Jackson is here because he's tired of being niggardly with his time only on racial causes and is expanding to overall humanitarian efforts...

John Wiley Price, county health director emphatically defend Dallas’ response to Ebola

Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price questioned the motivation of the hospital that is treating Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan, suggesting that race and income may have been a factor in him not being diagnosed earlier.

Two days before he was admitted and placed in isolation, Duncan was turned away from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. He had a slight fever at the time and was complaining about abdominal pain. He reportedly told a nurse that he had been in Africa, but was not tested for Ebola. Instead, he was given antibiotics and released.

Price, who is black, called the reasons for that mistake an “elephant in the room.”

“We know why what happened at Presbyterian happened,” he said. “It is historical what has happened in this community. If a person who looks like me shows up without insurance, they don’t get the same treatment.”

Presbyterian officials haven’t given a full explanation for Duncan’s release. They initially mentioned a “flaw” in electronic health records causing doctors to miss a nurse’s note that Duncan had been to Africa. They later backtracked from that claim, saying there was no flaw.

Price made his comment as part of an emphatic defense of the county health department’s efforts. During Tuesday’s Commissioners Court meeting, Price said the department has “done everything they are supposed to do.”


He noted that the department has been planning for an Ebola case for weeks. On July 28, the department notified the Commissioners Court of the threat from Ebola, Price said. And the department led local hospitals and authorities in an Ebola drill before the virus arrived, Price said.

Still, questions about how the department has reacted to the crisis have persisted. The department has been criticized for how quickly it sent a sample of Duncan’s blood to state and national labs. And it took days to clean out the apartment where Duncan fell ill with the virus.

The department’s director Zachary Thompson joined Price in defending the response. He disputed the idea that there was a delay in responding to the virus.

The health department learned of the possible virus on Sept. 29, he said. It briefed the Commissioners Court the next day – the same day the virus was confirmed. One day after that, a health department official notified the family that had been staying with Duncan that it needed to stay in its apartment, he said.

However, officials didn’t immediately guard the apartment to make sure people who were supposed to be isolated stayed inside. One child who was supposed to stay home showed up for school on Wednesday. No one else has shown symptoms of the virus, so authorities don’t believe that anyone else has been exposed to the illness.

But Thompson said “it is really a disservice and it is really an affront” to criticize the health department and its employees. The local media and The Dallas Morning News in particular have done so, he said.

“You make a comment where our staff has been giving up their families, giving up their time and their sleep to follow this case,” he said. “To even try to insinuate that there was a misstep. There was no misstep by Dallas County Health and Human Services staff. And I will defend that. I will call the individual out personally that they are lying.”

Health officials said that 48 people remain under supervision by health authorities. None have shown symptoms of Ebola, he said.

Meanwhile, the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office took five squad cars out of commission after deputies who had entered the department where Duncan was staying used the vehicles.

Sheriff Lupe Valdez said she was told by federal health officials that the vehicles were safe, but the department was simply being extra-careful.

“We just took extra precaution,” she said.

And the county will request that federal authorities assess the entire apartment complex where Duncan’s family had been staying. Officials said they aren’t concerned about the safety of the complex, but said that residents have called asking for authorities to double-check.
