In reply to the discussion: How much exposure to the Ebola virus [View all]misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)visit as to his recent flight from a country currently unable to contain the Ebola virus. He had just visited Liberia. He had to have know the seriousness of what it means. He also had to have had close contact with infected ppl there.
When he had symptoms & headed to the ER, he owed it to this hospital, its ER employees & this State & his family to do what he could to prevent the spread of the virus.
Local news says he did NOT inform the ER on the 1st visit.
My empathy goes as far as his empathy did that day.
I wish him well, as I do for anyone his silence may have also caused harm to, but his lack of serious concern in this case is an issue, certainly.
His ignorance in spreading this horrific virus is what bothers me. Its not about any lack of empathy.
I feel more empathy for the ER staff that treated him, hauled him by ambulance, the school kids now in quarantine, and anyone else who he spread it to, knowing better than any of us what the deadly conditions exist in Liberia. He had just come from there.
Thanks to him for not taking it as serious as he should have.
Guess we will know in a few weeks just how many others may have become casualties.
Thats where my sincere empathy lies.
