Fine, I'll say it - Ebola guy in TX is a fucking asshole.

[elehhhhna]

"Good Samaritan" my ass. What kind of jackass is exposed to a dying ebola victim,then makes the following choices: LIES at the airport a few days later, then goes on a jaunt and visits family members, etc., THEN goes to hospital and doesn't fucking say anything to EVERYONE, everywhere?

1. wtf are you assuming beyond facts not in evidence and inaccuracies?

[elleng]

5. Thanks.

I'll stop here.

[cwydro]

14. Exactly. I have a feeling

that the hospital, CDC, etc., are looking for a handy scapegoat.

[KittyWampus]

2. I don't think you have the facts entirely in hand.

[Warpy]

3. He wasn't sick

so he thought he wasn't going to get sick.

There is a lot of magical thinking in any sort of infectious plague.

If it makes you feel better, he's facing charges for that in Liberia.

[elehhhhna]

4. I get the denial aspect but really, wtf?

endangered the kids in his own family. WHo does that?

[rocktivity]

17. He knew perfectly well that he had the potential of getting sick

that his best chance of getting well was to join his sister in America, and that he wouldn't be allowed to leave the country if he told the truth about having contact with a dead victim.

6. The media has done a bang up job spreading assumptions.

8. With no usable information, just like the NSA .

7. Add some medical staff with no communication skills .

[Laffy Kat]

9. Desperate people, maybe?

I'm going to try not to judge. Besides, it was the hospital that screwed-up.

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. Internet forum judgment is the most accuratest sort of all the judgments

[DeadLetterOffice]

12. +1000

[orpupilofnature57]

15. No medical experts are .

And they have the most accuracy .

[lunasun]

11. He did tell the intake at the hospital they never relayed info to the examining team of Drs.

[LostInAnomie]

13. I agree.

I don't think his family is much better.

[Barack_America]

16. Yes. Because every sick person in Liberia has Ebola.

Malaria and other febrile illnesses do not occur there. Pregnant women with seizures always have Ebola and never eclampsia, which does not occur in Liberia.
