Texas Ebola Patient Dies
BarbaraHudson writes Thomas Duncan, the ebola patient being treated in Texas, has died. "It is with profound sadness and heartfelt disappointment that we must inform you of the death of Thomas Eric Duncan this morning at 7:51 am," hospital spokesman Wendell Watson said in an emailed statement. If he had survived, he could have faced criminal charges in both the US and Liberia for saying on an airport screening questionnaire that he had had no contact with an Ebola patient. UPDATE: Reports of a possible second Ebola victim in Texas are coming in. From the article: "The patient was identified as Sgt. Michael Monning, a deputy who accompanied county health officials Zachary Thompson and Christopher Perkins into the apartment where Thomas Eric Duncan stayed in Dallas. The deputy was ordered to go inside the unit with officials to get a quarantine order signed. No one who went inside the unit that day wore protective gear."

It's going to turn into a racist issue and/or a malpractice suit.
Already is... Jessy Jackson showed up in Dallas YESTERDAY, even before Duncan died, to get the ball rolling on that.

Remember, any limitations on travel to the US is racism. Please stop being racist and trying to get the government to follow your racist policies. Be careful to avoid indulging any of your latent racism by criticizing Mr. President Obama for not implementing racist policies in the form of travel restrictions. Also, until the US has incurred a proportion of Ebola infections similar to that of Liberia et. al it is a racist nation exhibiting its usual racist tendencies.
And be sure to log in and tag this whole story about an Ebola death as 'racism,' as other more racially conscious people already have.
Thank you — the management.
