Report: Thomas Eric Duncan Came to the United States Because He Had Ebola
PJ Tatler ^ | October 3, 2014 | Bryan Preston

Thomas Eric Duncan aka Patient Zero traveled to the United States out of desperation. He knew that he had been exposed to Ebola, and knew that he could not get treatment where he lived in Liberia. He had seen a friend turned away from three hospitals, and then die of the disease.

So according to his former boss, he made the trip to the United States to obtain treatment. Monrovia (Liberia) Daily Observer reports.

About Duncan being aware of his medical condition before he left Liberia, his former boss, Mr. Henry Brunson, 60, manager of SafeWay Cargo, a licensed agent of FedEx, agreed that Duncan knew that he was infected with the virus, having directly participated in efforts to help save the life of his landlord’s daughter, who was pregnant. Mr. Brunson said Duncan was his “personal chauffeur” before he (Duncan) just “walked out” on September 4, and never saw nor heard from him again until it was reported that he had been diagnosed with the Ebola virus in the US. He stated that while he is sorry that Duncan might have passed the virus to others over the last few days, he, however, said he is glad that Duncan is in the US where he would get the best treatment to survive. “If he were in Liberia, he was going to surely die,” Mr. Brunson added sadly.

Having come to the United States, lying about and concealing his condition along the way, Duncan has exposed his own family, residents in their apartment complex, kids in several Dallas schools, and who knows how many other people to the deadly Ebola virus...

I just want to know WHO paid for his Airline ticket?

That ticket had to cost A LOT of money that I would be willing to bet he could not afford.

I see no difference between someone who has HIV and knowingly spreads it to others and this man.

If I had a potentially deadly disease and knew it, I would not knowingly contaminate innocent people. That is selfish and wrong.

No one said he was smart, considerate or moral.

It might have been selfish and wrong, but most in the same situation would most probably do done the same ... to get to a place were they might have a chance of survival.

All the Jihadis who will die for their cause have to do is go get infected with Ebola.

Obambi will let them right in to the US.

I completely distrust our government. They want a pandemic. They want chaos. They want an excuse to impose martial law and then suspend the election. Our country is crumbling by the day. I thought the SHTF scenario would be economic collapse or civil war. It may be biological warfare.

God please help our country. We are so screwed.

The early reports were that he applied for his visa 18 months ago. If true, than he was just lucky that it came through just as he was infected. As I understand it, he was coming here to marry his girlfriend.

As I said, this was an early report, so may be subject to change as more facts come to light.
