Mr. Duncan knew he was exposed to Ebola. The more interesting question is [View all]

[JimDandy]

Why did he fly?...not, Why was he allowed to fly.

When did he purchase his plane ticket? After the exposure, or was this a long-planned trip? If after, did he deliberately fly to the U.S. in the hopes of being in a country where he would have a better chance of surviving than had he stayed in Liberia where the survival rate is abysmal? He would have known he had only a small window of days to get on a plane before a spiked temperature would have kept him from traveling by air.

I understand the desire for self-preservation, but it bothers me terrifically that he knew he was exposed and was willing to risk exposing others, especially when he was showing symptoms after he arrived in the U.S.

And an even more ominous question is, What is to prevent someone exposed to Ebola from purposefully traveling to another country in that small window of days with no temperature in order to cause a health havoc?

Must get to bed. Will check back in morning...
