The Real Duncan: Why Ebola Transporter lied about contact
Front Page Africa ^ | 10/6/2014 | Rodney D. Sieh

Posted on 10/08/2014 8:14:18 PM PDT by Prospero

“I knew Duncan well. As refugees in Bujumbura Camp we were there hustling to see how we could make it. We were at war back home, so we were like trying to do everything humanly possible to make sure we stay alive to come back home. So when the war ended we began to come home one by one and he came before me. I came in 2011. We met once and that was around the 72nd belt, somewhere around Boulevard Junction and we just waved to each other because I was in a taxi; that’s the last time I saw him. When I saw his photo on Facebook, I was like ‘oh! I know this guy’. “

Duncan’s family in the U.S. has been supportive while denying that he had Ebola prior to entering the U.S., some have even gone as far as to suggest that Duncan took an Ebola test prior to his departure from Liberia, a point Tolbert Nyensuah, Assistant Minister for Curative and Preventive Services at the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare debunks. “There was no Ebola test given Mr. Duncan, what he was given at the airport was a temperature test, people should stop confusing the two.”

“Desperate people do desperate things. Any of us in that situation would surely have been tempted to do the same thing”

The guy KNEW he had been exposed to Ebola.

He had a decent savings from his decent job working for a FedEx Contractor, and a U.S. Visa already in his pocket, for his already planned move to the U.S. for the impending Obama amnesty.

When the people around him started to die, his choices came down to dying in hellish misery on a dirt floor in some Liberian hell ward, or get his butt to America, where the media said there was a cure.

He took the only chance he had.

BY doing so, he endangered millions, but that likely never entered into his panicked calculation.

AND THERE COULD BE MILLIONS MORE, just like him, in the future.

Duncan’s family denies he had Obola before entering the US.

This predator virus has a two to twenty one day incubation period, and the infected person is contagious during this period.

So who you gonna believe—Duncan’s family, or the lyin’ scientific forensic evidence? Dallas should be nervous after this cluster poodle screw.

I would do the same as you, I would never expose other people and never my family to any disease I would have.

When I even have the slighest sign of a sniffle, I tell my children, so they will not bring the grandchildren over, I love them that much.

It takes a very selfish person to even think of infecting another for the sake of one's own life.

I still see no evidence that he knew the pregnant woman had ebola. It’s still possible he didn’t know he had been exposed.

I had always heard about them lowering your temperature if you had a fever - I never considered that they could lower a normal body temp too

They do it if you have a fever first. Then you take a few of these, give them a couple hours, and you may end up with a temperature lower than normal. Happened to me nearly every time I had a fever and took aspirin. You feel weak, but much healthier (though that is a false feeling.)

Actually, there may be a specific treatment that can be highly supportive. When I first heard about Ebola it sounded to me like runaway scurvy. I Googled “Vitamin C in treatment of Ebola, and there found a number of articles supporting the idea of using very high doses of C to treat Ebola. Apparently one of the first things Ebola does is totally wipe out any reserves of C in the body. Also look at Dr. Frederick Klenner, a doctor who pioneered high Vitamin C therapy for a number of toxic conditions and viruses.

Betcha Jesse made extra damn sure not to have any exposure contact during his meeting with the “family” and thereafter decontaminated twice.

Some supportive treatment would have saved his kidneys and liver. Drugs/Survivor Serum given earlier would seem to have helped....

Not accurate. The incubation period is as you say, but it's from exposure to start of symptoms. As far as we know, a person is not contagious during the incubation period, but only after symptoms appear.

BTW, with regard to all these claims of Duncan being an evil and selfish man.

He assisted a neighbor whose daughter was deathly ill with what he surely knew might be Ebola. He helped transport her around the city, without any protective gear, to try to get her help, then helped return her home when none was available.

How many of us would do the same for a friend or neighbor?

He most certainly did not know he had the disease, as he left on a previously purchased ticket only three days or so after the presumed exposure. By no means everybody who is exposed gets the disease, or there would be a great many more cases than there are. For instance, the body disposal guys recently went on strike for hazard pay. If this were a wildly contagious disease, all of them would have been dead long ago, not alive and on strike.

There WILL be millions more just like him in the future.

Just wait until the first few Ebola cases are diagnosed in Central America or Haiti.

You will see a freakin' EXODUS from Central America to the United States.

I think it’s reasonable he didn’t know she had Ebola while they were hauling her around the city in a taxi. Since she died before he left for America, it’s pretty unlikely he didn’t know before he left what she had died of and that he had probably been exposed.

I think it’s really interesting that the taxi driver is still alive to give interviews. He was presumably equally exposed but didn’t catch the disease.
