Ebola - The New Pandemic - Coming to someplace near you soon?!

[Peter Lemkin]

No. I was reminded of the underpants bomber who was put on a plane with assistance from some as yet unknown person. Just trying to work out if the sick man is just a desperate individual with funds to travel and able to get quick visa or being sent to the US by others and wonder who would they be.

While he was Liberian, I get the impression he had lived in the US before or was living here when he went this time to Liberia. He was not just a Liberian, with no relationship to the USA, who suddenly was here. That said, the way he was [mis]treated at the hospital the first time is a horrible shame and shows the vulnerabilities and inadequacies here, not just in developing nations vis-a-vis health care systems able to deal with such diseases. In case you don't know, he self-admitted to hospital and told them he felt very ill and had just returned from Africa. A nurse suspected Ebola as one of the possibilities and noted it in the computer...however NO doctor read that note and he was given antibiotics and send home. Much more ill he returned to the hospital in an ambulance, unable to even walk. This time they knew it was Ebola and have isolated him - but so many in the hospital and out were possibly infected due to stupid medical practice.
