im more upset by the idea that no one cared until an american died on american soil from this illness. people have been dying for weeks now over in africa and no one threw a fit until it came here.
Duncan was not American. He was a Liberia national. I have looked and everything I can find says he was not an American citizen. Yes, he died here but he was Liberian and he came here knowing that he had been in contact with Ebola. He was afraid and came here hoping the health care here would save him. People do care but what this man did was selfish. He exposed more people to Ebola in an effort to save himself.
im having hard time discerning whether you are being apathetic or coldly tactical.

This guy was going to die no matter what.
If he had of lived, you'd have thousands of infected west Africans coming to the US for treatment.
poor guy was probably a guinea pig for all we know.
well, he wasn't given any experimental drug until a week later, so I agree with you.....my question is why would the federal government send a black west African man infected with Ebola to Texas. that's like sending a gay white American to a hospital in Iran. you hope for the best outcome, but, you're not sure of how well he will be treated.

Wrong. For example, the Christian organization Samaritan's Purse is in Africa, with volunteers risking their LIVES to help stop the outbreak. The doctor who was infected and came to Atlanta for treatment worked with them.
Of course, those are evil Christians, right??? So what do they matter? [sarcasm]
lets not make this a religious debate, so stick that carrot back in the garden thank you.
