I guess you’ve already heard that our Ebola patient has died from the disease. Folks who get their news from Twitter claim that it was racism that killed him, says Twitchy<\/a>, but the CDC is sticking with a virus. From the New York Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Mr. Duncan died at 7:51 a.m. at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, more than a week after the virus was detected on Sept. 30. His condition had worsened in recent days to critical from serious as medical personnel worked to support his fluid and electrolyte levels, crucial to recovery in a disease that causes bleeding, vomiting and diarrhea. Mr. Duncan was also treated with an experimental antiviral drug, brincidofovir, after the Food and Drug Administration approved its use on an emergency basis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Associated Press<\/a> says that there are whole crowd of people who were exposed to Mr. Duncan;<\/p>\n

Health officials have identified 10 people, including seven health workers, who had direct contact with Duncan while he was contagious. Another 38 people also may have come into contact with him. The four people living in the northeast Dallas apartment where Duncan stayed have been isolated in a private residence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, over in Africa, according to the Washington Examiner<\/a>, health care folks are “fleeing” from their treatment facilities.<\/p>\n

A new and remarkably candid on-the-ground audit from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the Ebola crisis in Liberia said that doctors and nurses have fled hospitals in the infection zone and that obstacles to killing the virus remain.<\/p>\n

The analysis of four remote Liberian counties conducted by local and CDC officials that were Ebola-free in August revealed that massive amounts of aid are still needed in the areas to fight the virus, which can be spread as simply as by burying a dead victim.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Washington Post<\/a> reports that the CDC is sending their workers to five airports to shut the barn door after the horses are out. They’ll be taking the temperature of people as they arrive here from West African countries.<\/p>\n

Travelers originating in West African countries will be given questionnaires and have their temperatures taken at these U.S. airports, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe work to continuously increase the safety of Americans,\u201d CDC Director Thomas Frieden said in a statement Wednesday. \u201cWe believe these new measures will further protect the health of Americans, understanding that nothing we can do will get us to absolute zero risk until we end the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mr Duncan, the deceased victim, was given a questionnaire when he left Liberia, but he lied and didn’t tell officials that he had escorted an Ebola-infected pregnant woman (who has since perished) to the hospital. Lucky for us, Liberia has issued a arrest warrant for Mr Duncan because he lied on the form. So he’ll get his, by gum. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
