The Liberian man who became the first Ebola fatality in the U.S. was tearfully lionized Saturday as the disease that killed him infected two new regions of West Africa.
Thomas Duncan, aka Patient Zero, was remembered as a kind and generous soul who reportedly contracted the fatal virus by helping out a needy pregnant woman. She later died of Ebola.
Eric would have been out there and helped that woman, said his nephew Josephus Weeks, referring to Duncan by his middle name, after the service inside the Rowan International Church in Salisbury, N.C.
And he would have done everything that he needed to do for that woman to make sure she was fine.
Duncans mother, Garteh Korkoryah, wept from her first-row seat at the memorial, where Weeks 3-year-old son gently dabbed at her tears. About 40 mourners turned out at the small Southern Baptist church.

Wow. I didn’t know this.
Our fearless leader will not ban travel from the infected countries because he wants Whitey to get sick, making it “fair.”
It was memorial to stupidity, with a statue of a fool...
I read the article. . I do not see the travel ban comment. . And i want to find it

Just dayum!
As the US mourns his coming here.

Hey Obama, be a MAN - Implement a travel BAN!
Diamond Jim Obama doesn’t have a problem paying $500,000.00 in ER/ICU costs for every worthless Ebola-raddled African who manages to make it to the USA.
Of course they had no idea they were sick .......
And if the Congress were to complain about his obsessive-compulsive spending problem, he would close the White House, the Supreme Court and the Capitol building, all the national monuments & forests, etc.
This article is not new....but just in case you didn’t see it.
