and yet the family who slept in the same beds, hugged and kissed Duncan and probably shared a bathroom with him is not showing symptoms?
Which makes me wonder if there’s some sort of genetic susceptibility some people have that others don’t. But I’m no doctor...
They are from Africa and may have better immune systems when it comes to fighting off Ebola. At any rate, they are definitely in denial mode. Ebola is the shark in Jaws.
I keep on hearing about ebola incubation periods of 20(?) days. And I don't know how many days it has been since the late Mr. Duncan's family was possibly exposed. But respectfully, how do you know if the family is showing symptoms or not showing symptoms since facts about the spread of ebola in USA reek with so-called Obama-type "transparency?"

Yeah right. The government will hide it from us if they get it. I don’t see how there is anyway that everyone in that apartment doesn’t get it. That’s exactly how it spreads and the idiot Clay Jenkins may get it too. All for a “look what a good liberal I am” photo op. Parents at his daughter’s school are furious.
The family probably was washing with a bleach solution. The UK Guardian story about the stepdaughter who called the ambulance stated that she took a shower and rinsed with a bleach solution. This is standard protocol in West Africa.
I know this may be considered racist.....but, is it possible that Caucasians are more likely to contract the disease than Africans?
The disease has been in Africa for decades (and probably longer undiscovered)...and around 30% live through it...passing their genetics down to the next generation. This may build a degree of tolerance that Caucasians don’t have.
For the most part, the only Caucasians who ever come in contact with the virus are wearing protective gear (and some still get infected), so we really wouldn’t know about the ability to resist the virus.
and they’re getting to stay in a mansion to wait it out....yet poor sheriff got the dirty end of the this deal...
That's an interesting question...
We may never hear about the family members again. They may just disappear.
Perhaps some races are less likely to get certain diseases?
