Memorial Service Held for Ebola Victim Thomas Eric Duncan (North Carolina)
NBC NEWS ^ | 10/18/2014 | Uncredited

Posted on 10/18/2014 11:22:38 AM PDT by RightGeek

Family and friends of Thomas Eric Duncan, the first and so far only person to die of Ebola in the U.S., gathered Saturday for an emotional memorial service in North Carolina. Mourners celebrated the 42-year-old's life at Rowan International Church in Salisbury, where his sister, mother and nephew worship, according to NBC affiliate WCNC. Duncan died in Dallas on Oct. 8, and had started showing symptoms of the virus on Sept. 24 after travelling to Texas from Liberia. He wasn't admitted to a Dallas hospital until Sept. 28 — two days after he first visited the hospital.

Let me get this straight, as someone who knows (or thought he knew) Salisbury, and is certifiably knowledgeable of North Carolina, especially of its demographics... A man of west Africa, out from among a people justifiably renowned for the vastness of extended families, quite literally from the, so-called "hot zone," from Sierra Leone by way of a stay in Liberia's capital Monrovia, in an act of madness realises his lifelong dream of coming to America, where he immediately dies of hemorrhagic Ebola in Dallas County, Texas.

Some of this vast extended family, living in North Carolina for reasons known only to our bureaucratic overlords in Washington, decide to hold a memorial service in the Old North State.

Stalin was as notorious as Shalman'eser V for moving whole nations across the landscape to submerge nascent nationalisms. Our federals did as much, on a much smaller scale, with native American tribes. Now the emergence of Third World diseases like Ebola, and, thus far more deadly EV-D68 (also, in some cases, Islamic terror) casts a shifting light on populations moved from place to place in the United States. In the past, communities of immigrants followed their families. Now Bureaucratic America hastens the process with a dual purpose, in an effort to crush regional diversity, the roots of American nationalism.

Anathematize the Washington Bureaucrat!

If he did, he’s a liar.”

Apparently he did lie on the forms he filled out but said he did tell the hospital where he was from. IMO the blame falls on both Duncan for coming to the U.S. after being exposed and the U.S. government who subsequently issued a visa to him. NBC is just piling on with their rhetoric of blaming the hospital for everything that went wrong. And, of course, one of the New York legislators said if he had gone to New York instead of Texas he still would have been alive. I wish for our sake in Texas that he had gone to a New York hospital instead.

Apparently he did lie on the forms ...


Are there forms that he would have needed to fill out before coming to the USA? I don’t know. Seems they would have asked if he was around anyone that had ebola. If so, he knew and he lied.

You can say that again.

He has unleashed a plague on us - including people he supposedly cared about.
I wonder how many people he will have killed.

Statues? Flags at half staff? Maybe Obola will say something on national TV?

Duncan could have been respectfully remembered as a victim if he had stayed in Liberia. Instead, he’ll go down in history as the man who knowingly brought the ebola virus to the United States and carelessly spread it around.

His family should be fined to help pay for all this.

What will be the final tally on our economy? Billions? Trillions? I'd prefer if the whole sorry lot just got on a plane and went back to Liberia.

From my understanding of the sequence of events, His sister had visited him circa August (the one in North Carolina). He received a visa circa 2Sep as a Liberian citizen and bought a round trip plane ticket circa Sep4 from a Zaire or Congo based travel agency, flying about Sep19 from Monrovia via Brussels, via Dulles, to Dallas/FtWorth and return trip to Sierra Leone scheduled for Oct19. He had contact with the ebola infected woman circa Sep18.

He quit his job as a driver after getting in a wreck and being apathetic around Sep3. He may have been exposed at that time, and since he had a visa, wanted to see his 19 yr old daughter who had been in the states for about 15 years from a previous relationship with Louise Troh. Supposedly, he was coming here to marry her (Troh), but there was another man also living with Troh, so the actual situation isn’t clear (I don’t fully know his relationship, but Troh had abandoned a couple of children in Liberia 15 years ago and appears to have had others here, without marriage).

Some suggest the entire affair was an intentional operation to bring the contagion here to the US to an opposite extreme that Duncan was simply a patsy, to another extreme that he simply came here with good intentions and was contaminated the day before his departure. It also may have been an intention to overstay his visa with the Obama policies to grant citizenship to all aliens present.

I think there are elites who are literally replacing the population of the US with 3rd Worlders.

Thanks for that. While you didn’t say for sure, it does look like he was here on a legal visa.

Are things going to get worse before they get better, or worse before they get even worse?

IMHO, all of our social systems have become very corrupt and all those who really hate Christ have risen to the top.

If a revival comes, there may be hope for America. If not, God doesn’t need us nor those rising to the top. We might be made an example for the rest of the world to show that only His Plan is of consequence and we will be made low.

God not only judges individually, He also judges groups and nations.

Remain in fellowship with Him at all times, to be in the right place, at the right time, to do the right thing, in the right way, by His Plan, rather than ours, and leave the rest up to Him. He’s in control.

LOL!

One way for a poor bigamist Liberian to be in the history books for all time.

I am sorry, but Eric Duncan; he’s not a hero. He lied on his forms that he had not been exposed to Ebola patients. Now, we have 2 nurses ill and possibly others infected that we are not being told about. It’s very wrong to say we deserved this here.

It’s happening because of this failed leadership due to improperly screening travelers from these regions of Western Africa. Obama is continuing the spread of this virus by not allowing a ban of flights from these countries. Is he trying to get people sick for his demented population control theology. What the hell is it. Pay back white America. No one can be this reckless without having a mean spirit within. Where’s our representatives!!!!
