Good. Now burn him to ashes.
Another Obama first?
I don't expect a rush to claim this credit. Call me a skeptic.
No there are going to be questions as to why he died and others lived.
Is this the October surprise?
Racial tensions usually, around 100% of the time give and take, favors democrats.
So glad he brought the disease to our shores. He has set us free! By placing other patients, nurses, doctors and hospital staff at risk. He may be dead, but ebola finds a way to live on.
You know how hard it is to keep common infections at bay in these hospitals?
Media democrat Jon Stewart hack spin+ screw you tea party GOP John Q public. We know what is best and this is no big deal - so shut up you trogs.
Jessie went to Texas just the other day.
The divide and conquer race/hate hustlers are sniffing the dead body?
Is that hope or change?
This isn't about skin color. This is about a horrible devastating deadly disease that our asleep at the wheel inept government just let in the door.
You know, this is what it has come to. The polarization politisation of everything.
There is something fowl about it but this is how the dems play it.
tit for tat and all that.
Like a train rolling down the tracks, we know what is coming. We have already witnessed a dose of the crazy.
#1 democrat media meme: Stop over-reacting. Why don't you have blind faith confidence in your government officials?
#2 democrat media meme: Conspiracy theories about how this disease was designed and spread by the tea party and Ronald Reagan. The Rosies are all queued up.
Rest in peace, my friend. You had a rough road, and now, even in death, you will be abused by users and ax-grinders and race hustlers.
You deserved better and you only wanted to live. Too bad you arrived in Obama's America.
After having been exposed to the virus, he came to this country and knowingly put his fiancée, her family, and who knows how many others at risk. The man is contemptible. He deserves criticism and has received none, at least not on the air or in the press.
Minutes after news broke of the death of Thomas Eric Duncan, CNN anchor Ashleigh Banfield suggested racism might have contributed to the Ebola patient's death.
Predictable... that's what I was talking about earlier.
Was the ebola virus racist? Or was it the staff at the hospital who took him in?
"The Rosies are all queued up."
I cannot imagine the massive absence of curiosity, intellect, or any neural activity at all for that matter, that allows Rosie O'Donnell to become an opinion leader. The same collection of blockheads that voted for Obama. Twice. Idiocracy.
Apparently Mr. Duncan is supposedly a hero now. I felt badly for the man, it's an awful death, while despising him for (probably) knowingly exposing other people to his disease. But desperate people do desperate things, this is known. The automatic media manipulation of this sentiment by the thought leaders of the Retard Nation drains away my sympathy. They put their big dumb thumb on the scale for some people but not for others. One more way the dishonest media and their various spokesmodels are divide us against each other.
Exactly William and Amartel.
Exactly.
From now on, Barry will wear a plastic body suit, no doubt.
Shoo, he IS a plastic body suit.
The polarizing politisation of everything.
The word is politicization. It's come to this: that it falls to me to do Sixty's job.
Twitter is already full of why the white people lived and he died. Gahhh. Someone should point out that the people in Spain who died (and infected the nurse) were white. NO?
These people at batshit crazy and *their* political leaders need to step up and stop this nonsense right now.
I couldn't imagine American citizens being so completely stupid.
Having worked in a hospital *in the South* for a number of years I can say never never never -- not even once -- did I hear or see a black or native American disciminated against in the care and treatments they received.
Let's wait for CNN to weigh in on how this happened in Red State Texas, home of Ted Cruz and Rick Perry.
Wait for it.
DBQ is nobody to screw with!!
It doesn't parse for me that Mr. Duncan truly knew he had Ebola, or had at least had been exposed to it, and came here for treatment. If all that were true, he would have made it all very clear to the Dallas hospital folks. Seems just plain dumb to go to all that effort to come here for treatment and then be content to be sent home with some antibiotics.
Breaking: New Patient 'Exhibiting Symptoms' Claims Had Contact With Victim.
Yah, Lyd, I'm coming around to thinking that, too. Applied for a Visa long before contact with pregnant Ebola lady in taxi.
The President of Liberia thinks that he travelled with knowledge of the disease and that he would be charged with a crime if he returned to Liberia. I don't see any reason to doubt her word. Duncan probably knew he had been exposed and was hoping he didn't have it. If the biopsy is negative, you generally don't ask for a second opinion.....Apparently some of the family and the liberal media are speculating that the survival of the two white Ebola patients and the demise of this patient raise red flags.....The hospital definitely demonstrated ineptitude in releasing Duncan from the ER, but it's quite a stretch to think this had anything to do with discrimination. If they had kept him in quarantine and it turned out negative, they would have been accused of profiling.......If the family of this scumbag wins malpractice damages, I will no longer have such high regard for the American justice system.
"You know how hard it is to keep common infections at bay in these hospitals?"
My youngest just a little bit ago said "they turned him away because he didn't have health insurance."
I said, no, they turned him away because Hospitals always tell possibly infectious people to Go Home. The LAST place they want you is in the hospital passing whatever you've got to all the sick people. They may not have done so for *ebola* if they had got a clue that's what he had, but in general it's the truth.
She was *extremely* offended by the concept.
I'm sorry your youngest is upset, Synova. The harsh reality of infectious disease is upsetting. Hospitals don't want people coming in with the common cold or the flu, either. Unless you are at death's doorstep or have pneumonia, stay home and rest. The only thing accomplished by a visit is a virus spread-around.
They did send him home but when it was clear he had ebola, they took him in. He died in the hospital, right?
My Aunt spent months and months in the hospital, time and time again fighting after-surgery infections.
This is nuts to ponder, but, how would you like to be operated on - on the same table some other person with a horrible infection was just operated on?
My friend Scott had both knees replaced. He's a young and healthy guy in his early 50s. One of the knees got infected. He happened to be traveling in Thailand when it hit him. and he was so sick they wouldn't let him on the plane without a medical nurse. After he arrived home, He was fitted w/ a portable IV with anti-biotic pumping through him 24/7. Worse case scenario: death or lose a limb.
(please please, if you need your knees replaced - do one at a time!) Surgical infections at hospitals are a possibility.
The crime is in PC - it is thought that by testing for MERSA prior to being admitted that the hospital is somehow discriminating - well duh!
One of the criteria I used to select the doc who was going to slice into my heart was his rate of post-op infections.
I got one of the best in the world, so in your face, people!
Surgery is nothing to sneeze at, just sayin'.
