Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins personally escorted the family of Ebola carrier Thomas Duncan to a 4 bedroom spacious home in a gated community Friday. It’s where they will live, miles away from their cramped apartment in Dallas while under quarantine.

“I’m wearing the same shirt I was when I was in the car for 45 minutes today with that family,” said Jenkins about the car ride. “If there was any risk, I wouldn’t expose myself or my family,” he said during Friday’s press conference where city and county leaders called the move necessary.

“Where they were living was a terrible place. And we are more decent than that,” said Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings....

If it is a private donation by a private citizen, why is it any one else’s business?

It may be the legal business of the other homeowners in the gated community if the donor agreed to the terms of a homeowners association. Those terms might give the others a cause of action on many levels. I'd have my lawyer going over those documents on Monday.

Let’s see, the Americans who had contracted the disease in Liberia and were brought here for treatment were transported in secure conditions and treated in absolute isolation.

On the other hand, a foreign citizen and his family who have all been exposed to the disease are made out as heroes and rewarded for it and virtually no conditions were imposed upon them.

“I can’t believe the other residents of the gated community are not freaking out by now.”

You would think. Maybe if they thought it would bring their own property value down?

The issues here are simple.

One, we are talking about private property, and it is not property owned by either of us.

Two, the people in question do not have Ebola.

We own several residential properties and through our church have donated vacant houses to families that have lost homes due to fire, hurricane, flood or medical crisis.

I would not want the government prohibiting me from donating free rent to these people as that would be an infringement on my rights.

Four relatives of the Texas Ebola patient who have been confined to their Dallas apartment moved to a home in a gated community the use of which was given to them by an anonymous donor, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said tonight during a news conference.

Jenkins said he rode with the family of Thomas Eric Duncan to the home at an undisclosed location within Dallas city limits. He and Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said the donor was a friend whom they both called upon for help.

“They’ve got room to move,” Jenkins said of the family, which is under quarantine and can’t leave the property.

"Two, the people in question do not have Ebola." They are the fiancé and children of the first confirmed Ebola patient in this country. They were with him for the better part of a week. What don't you get?

I get that they do not have symptoms of Ebola and I get that someone donated a home so that they would not be living out on the street.

What do you suggest be done with these people?

We have these new things called “hospitals” that you might’ve heard of. They’re all the rage.

Hospitals are for sick people, these people are not sick.

And, if they were to be in a hospital, we as tax payers would have to pay the bill.

"Hospitals are for sick people, these people are not sick. And, if they were to be in a hospital, we as tax payers would have to pay the bill."

They've been exposed to Ebola. Look up communicable diseases, virus, pandemic, epidemic and disease transmission. FRiend, we're paying all the bills for them as it is. Guaranteed. No matter how this sorts out, taxpayers will foot the VERY large bill. Or did you think that that judge and the mayor were headed to Central Market or Whole Foods for some groceries and beer on their own dime?

I have a relative (by marriage) that is Liberian. Her cousin in Dallas knows this guy personally, knows his girlfriend, children. Cousin says he did NOT live in Liberia, but just went home to see family there. He’s lived here and traveled back there, not the other way around as is being reported.
