Ebola outbreak in West Africa

[kentonio]

So because facts are unpleasant that makes them wrong? Curious statement.

No, I'm trying to get you to acknowledge a fact that everyone has already accepted - that he lied to Liberian screeners about his exposure to Ebola. Two people may die because of this lie. It's devastating to your case.

I don't have a 'case' because i'm not involved with this in any way. Same as you. The difference is that you're making wild and unsubstantiated claims about someone and then when you're called on them trying to change the subject so you aren't yet again exposed as a liar. Feel free to supply your link any time.

Because you're frankly sub-human and that's what you'd have done

Ah. Lost the argument so you attack me. Didn't you already argue that I'd be quarantined? I'm not sure how you square with accusing me of doing this and accusing me of staying in quarantine.

You're saying that if I were knowingly exposed to Ebola that I'd fly back to Canada, expose my family, maybe have sex with an old girlfriend there before kicking the bucket and exposing all her kids to Ebola.

Oh, and before I died, I check into a hospital and infect two nurses in Canada.

That would make me a selfish jackass, right?

[kentonio]

I'm saying that's what you'd do. What Mr Duncan did however is something that we'll never actually know, because the woman he apparently helped is dead, he's dead and we don't really have anything other than speculation about who knew what. Which is why you should avoid telling lies and weaving stories about things his sister is supposed to have said, but which you can't apparently prove.

It's pretty comical though that you're now trying to blame him for the deaths of nurses at a facility set up to handle infectious diseases. You seem to give the hospital a pass however for sending him home after he first arrived displaying symptoms and told them he had recently been in Africa.

Yes, I do blame him for putting nurses at risk unnecessarily. The only reason they contracted Ebola is because he came here. Had he remained in Liberia, they would not have contracted Ebola.

You seem to give the hospital a pass

Is the hospital going to be reimbursed for the 500k that they spent treating Duncan? They aren't a public hospital Kentonio.

It wasn't Dallas Presbyterian's fault that Thomas walked into their door with Ebola from Liberia.

however for sending him home after he first arrived displaying symptoms and told them he had recently been in Africa.

Yes, one would presume that an American hospital in Texas would be primarily concerned with treating diseases contracted by Americans in Texas.

Not diseases from Liberia.

[Sava]

What a frothing idiot you are.

[Ben Kenobi]

Coming from the fellow who blames Texas? Yeah, I guess that's the meme now isn't it? Texas is responsible.

[Dauphin]

Great, so how many has Britain treated so far? Hmm... Zero. Thought so.

At least the British are wise enough not to import it.

Do you ever tire of being ignorant?

[SlowwHand]

The fact is, he lied. Another fact is that his color had nothing to do with it, unless your name is Al Sharpton.

[kentonio]

I'm fairly confident none of us have ever blamed Ben's ceaseless lying on the fact he's white.

[Dauphin]

They certainly aren't white lies.

I'm not exactly sure what duties a private American hospital has to treat a foreign visitor who explicitly came to America to receive free treatment.

[Ben Kenobi]

Do you ever tire of being ignorant?

I stand corrected. I was unaware that Britain had a med-evac already.

Britain is a stellar 1 for 1.

For a disease he didn't know he had. Keep the lies coming.

[Ben Kenobi]

Mhmm, which is why the family is now accusing the hospital of racism. Sure. Gotcha.

I bet the hospital just feels peachy now that they just happened to be the closest one to his girlfriends house.

[DinoDoc]

For a disease he didn't know he had. Keep the lies coming.

Why did he lie about his contact with a symptomatic patient to airport screeners then?
