I heard that his initial attempt to seek medical care saw him turned away at the hospital (and I've seen that happen to other people with kidney failure or other problems only to be admitted 2 days later in worse condition).
Also I heard that he waited 24 hours in the emergency waiting area before finally being admitted the second time. How many people there were in sustained contact with him? Where have they since gone?
....”he waited 24 hours in the emergency waiting area before finally being admitted the second time”...??????
I wonder if that’s a stretch...was he waiting in a ER waiting room all that time...or was he taken to a room area? It’s not uncommon to have to wait even once you’re in an examination room.
There are far too many “unknown’s” about this case....and the media hype now isn’t helping IMO. They admit they do not have the facts yet. Often using words “appears’ and “could”.
Additionally every DR. speaking with pundits is an “expert” at something “other than infecteous diseases”.....an example...there’s now a expert in “Radiology” speaking on Fox.
We simply have to wait and see if any others come down with this who had contact with the man...and if or not it’ll be reported if so.
I tend to think the man IS Liberian....the Representatives in Texas ‘for the Liberian community’ are making announcements and statements frequently now to their people regarding this man.
