America's First Ebola Patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, Has Died
The first US Ebola patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, who was treated in Texas, has just died:
- TEXAS HEALTH REPORTS DEATH OF EBOLA PATIENT THOMAS ERIC DUNCAN
And while we await the inevitable CDC press conference to follow, the stock of CMRX, whose medicine was being used to treat him, is plunging.
As Bloomberg reports,
Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S., died from the virus while in isolation at a Dallas hospital.
Duncan was diagnosed with the disease on Sept. 30 after contracting it in his native Liberia, where Ebola has infected about 7,500 people, killing half. He had come to the country to marry his girlfriend, Louise Troh, who is now being quarantined and has not yet shown symptoms of the disease.
"It is with profound sadness and heartfelt disappointment that we must inform you of the death of Thomas Eric Duncan this morning at 7:51 am,” Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital said in a statement today.
Some more from Bloomberg:
Duncan was in serious condition until Saturday, when his kidneys failed and he was put on dialysis. That afternoon he received the experimental drug brincidofovor, made by Durham, North Carolina-based Chimerix Inc (CMRX), according to statements from the hospital, which has declined to say if the patient received any other experimental treatment.
Duncan was also receiving oxygen on a ventilator and medication to stave off infection, according to the hospital.
A nephew, Josephus Weeks, said earlier today that Duncan did not receive any serum from Ebola survivors, a treatment given other survivors. Kent Brantly, a U.S. doctor who recovered after being infected, has donated serum to at least two other patients.
Asked in a text-message interview if the family thinks blood serum derived from disease survivors should have been used, Weeks said, “We begged and pleaded several times. They said it’s too late in his treatment. They didn’t try any other options but saline, oxygen and water.”
So the lawsuits are coming.
In any event, one can only hope he is the last Ebola casualty on US soil. Unfortunately, when the best plan the "smartest and brightest" in the room can come up with is to take the temperature of West Africa travelers, he won't be.

And not just once.
Send his corpse to Chicago... "early & often" I believe is how voting is encouraged there.
Heh, like that's going to stop the fuckers in charge? It will be the first-ever prosecution of a corpse.
Judge: How do you plead, Thomas Eric Duncan?
Defense Attorney: Your honor, my client pleads dead.
Saul Goodman would get him off.
Actually, one time, the exhumed bones of a Pope were put on trial. True story. Christians!
Ok, I know I'm probably going to get monkey-hammered for posting this, but here it is...

I am from West Africa and I approve this video!
Last I called Expired home to ask about Ebola, They Said Basically the Sami thing .... There Were only aware of it from the TV; and the purported single patient in Dakar (Guinean student As They Claimed) WAS shown later in good health. When will the masses wake up?
================ * To * my people ======================
Do not believe in what the news report on Ebola, it is a big lie and conspiracy
Do not believe what the media tell about the Ebola virus, it is a false epidemic of a complete fabrication ... a big fib!
Wote ngummeh Ebola Mbope qhaalata, ?um wonaani goog'o, um ko Bole puué
Bullënn gueum daraa will read nju Len di jotaali it xibaaru Ebola bii of bëneu deugg, aay kecé the Fen
There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle that don't quite make sense.
Its almost turning into "there is an Ebola epidemic, take our words for it".
The only thing us muppets know for sure it that the way CDC has been handling this has been absurd.

Aaaanndd don't forget about the upcoming cost of litigation and settlement. And that is just ONE case. How many 100,000s of W Africans want to come over to the US for treatment?
Could be just coincidence, but the American citizens seem to live, but the foreign guy dies, message sent to the rest of the Ebola refugees???
Doubt it. More like dumb luck so far. The Spaniards weren't so lucky...
Maybe Africans are more susceptible to Ebola???????
Now we enter the denial stage where many are grasping at straws hoping it's not that bad...
"Maybe Africans are more susceptible to Ebola???????"
Thats borderline rayciss......or else its all a plot by former El Presidente GWB!!
Darker skin means less vitamin D is created by the body. Now the fair skinned Americans who survived got a lot of sunlight exposure in the tropics and likely had high vitamin D levels. Immune system.
Lots of speculation about that. The typical African has malaria, dengue fever, and a lot of stuff they haven't named yet. Very stressed imune systems.
In the States, it will be drugs, morbid obesity, diabetes..., same outcome?
Worms, parasites...
...or Lyme Disease for the active/non-obese/non-diabetic outdoor types.
Then there's the 1 in 3 Americans walking around with an STD right now (not that Africa would be any different).
.."Maybe Africans are more susceptible to Ebola???????"..
Calling Louie Farrakahn.
You want a message? How about, "When dogs are outlawed only outlaws will have dogs."
RIP Excalibur
(Sorry, couldn't resist)
When common sense is outlawed, only outlaws will have common sense.
The sentence on the dog is really sad. There is something in that story they are not telling us.
Spain is too poor a country and should have never said yes to taking in those priests. Politicans said yes to it to save face and look like a developed country, when they ain't. I thought so when I first heard it. I predict they are "poor country" fucked here.
Those pictures of the hospital were not that comforting.
pods
I'm pissed about the dog. They could quarentine and test it.
In many counrties they will quarantine your dog for months before letting the critter go live with you. That is why I think there is something they are not telling us.
That's a really good point. =/
There is some evidence that dogs can carry Ebola without devloping the disease. That's why they euthanized the poor dog. By the time this is over we will probably be looking at man's best friend in a different light.
.."There is some evidence that dogs can carry Ebola without devloping the disease. "..
.. well there goes my plan C of trapping dogs to stretch out my canned supplies.
That is a very valid plan. Dogs are very easy to catch in a modern steel trap.
There is a hilarious vid on moonbattery.com where a muslim (if he's not muslim then he certainly is an idiot) throws bricks at a man who is walking two German Shepherds. Needless to say the pups don't take kindly to this....
Too bad dogs won't be able to engage the walking infected...
Farahkan was right - the disease is there to kill the people with the darker skin. Oh shit....
Americans got the experimental drug, they didnt bother here...plus I herd we sent the last bit to Snore-way
Renewable..
yeah, this walk-in stringer hadda go in the dumpster, because if he had lived, every Negro from West Africa would be on the next aeroplane to anywhere! They hadda send a message to stem the tide. Sad but true...
The corpse could be made of use....fling it into Congress and onto Obama's fairway!
I believe it was a Pale Horse....
86'd him to keep the fear real
Quite honestly, humankind is far from a threatened species. If Ebola was to do some cleaning, maybe not the worst that could happen for the world.
Unpleasent for us, yes, but in the greater scheme of things maybe beneficial.
I'll elbow my way in line right behind you for that blood transfusion from an Ebola patient.
I too can think like you, but I have to ask you, "Are you stepping up to be culled? On someone else's schedule, brought on by gross negligence and incompetence? When your tax dollars are paying these clowns to be knowledge specialists and watch for this stuff?"
I am rather disappointed in their performance. There are folks weighing in who have actually dealt with this stuff that I just want to grab them off the street and put them in charge.
If you're planning on stepping up for trial by fire, now is the time - while systems, supply lines and medical infrastructure are still functioning.
Round trip tickets to Monrovia from my neck of the woods start at only CHF 1068...
And stawks turn green!! Just 3,000 Ebola deaths in the US and we should hit DOW 20k!!
Open Borders, Obama, Democrats, NeoCons=USA iis F'ed'ed.
The dog ate my Ebola...
+100 william, but shouldn't the electronic TelePrompTer also be wearing a hazmat suit? We all know who the real president is...the person who writes the text the Teleprompter in Chief speaks.
I can barely see the puppet strings, nice job WB7
ate your Ebola and then licked the faces of 20 kids at the park? :)
something about transmission vectors?
How did Israel announce this 3 days ago? Please explain?

Quarterbacking the media effort, I'd say.
Because backdoor access to all medical equipments which is called virus in the system through the windows of the hospital rooms, i guess.
I agree. And then burn that motherfucking hospital to the ground!
ebolcare won
But not the last...
Did not any of these so-called "health authorities" ever read "The Hot Zone ?"
So.........
x=1 in an exponential equation. the "known unknowns" are the timeline and a host of questions about strain evolution and transmission.
same as it ever was.
Sending him home the first time sealed his fate, and likely led to onward transmission.
Yeah just wait, because nobody can distinguish early ebola syptoms from any of about a dozen other common viral syndromes on initial presentation. These types of complaints likely represent 20% of ER visits. What are you going to do? Isolate all of them? This is where Frieden's and Fauci's medical wonderland theory of "it can't happen here" completely breaks down. That along with our increased travel and contact. Pray to god we shut this virus down with a West Africa no fly zone and heavy border patrols, because if it gets loose in the US, it isn't going to be easy to irradicate without draconian measures that would turn the economy completely upside down.
RIP
Yeah, God bless him. That's no way for a man to die.
What is?
A smoking hole in the earth is how I want to commerate my passing. Plane, car, motorcycle or something else would be fine. I would take getting shot too. Bleeding out my ass to death is NOT on the list.
Heart attack while orgasming with the man/woman of your choice. It's the olny way to go :-)
Yeah, great for you - pretty good way to fuck them up for the rest of their lives.
Or it gives them the most serene sense of self ever knowing they shared a beautiful last moment with you. It's all perspective...
Live to be a hundred and get shot by a jealous husband.
I can think of a few.
Fiery explosion at Mach 2.
Gunfight with home invaders.
Throwing yourself in harm's way by intercepting an 18-wheeler with your pickup truck before it can slam into a bus full of kids.
Use your imagination.
Slamming into a wall of dancing girls at 1000 mph whilst riding a giant flying unicorn made of lightning after ingesting high quality mushrooms and listening to 'Don't Fear The Reaper' as the heads of every past and present politician suddenly explode in clouds of multi-coloured confetti and giant blue and green robots swarm about stamping on every religious zealot they can find as I'm momentarily distracted by seeing every bankster and goldman sachs office around the entire globe spontaneously combusting.
Wow. You took the words right outta my dream! Right on...let me know if you need a tail gunner!
No it's not. But he was also a man that knowingly had direct contact with a person that died of ebola, and obviously his conscience did not stop him from possibly transmitting it across continents.
Fair point.
You mean to tell me that people lie? I am shocked, just shocked I tell you.
- John Corzine.
All the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't save him?
Maybe we should stop inbound flights and not send 4,000 soldiers to West Africa?
You know, do some sane stuff?
the conspiracy theorist in me says Jew York and obama hate Texas for their freedoms...
bring out the next mancharian candidate for the fed...
There is no vaccine. There is no cure. And it's a virus that is known to replicate asymptomatically in a large number of non-human species, including dogs.
http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/11/3/pdfs/04-0981.pdf
What if beef cattle turn out to be a carrier? It's already known that pigs are. It would mean the end of tail-gating.
Interesting, but good information. Still not clear if the dog's actually were carrying a live virus though.
Any animal that produces its own Vitamin C will be fine. Go ahead, and look. Not that finding info on that kind of thing is easy...
What animals don't produce Vitamin C? Humans, primates, guinea pigs, fruit bats... Ebola does kill monkeys, but doesn't seem to pose as much threat to fruit bats...
Rick Perry needs to grow a pair. The guy would be a national hero.
Asking Rick Perry to grow a pair is the same as asking him to have common sense and not be yet another puppet of the system. In other words, futile.
Anyone still stupid enough to hero worship that asstard politician DESERVES Ebola!
Yeah, well, the Hebrew in me says you're one of those who perpetuate hate based on lies. So if you die from ebola sooner than you would have from your own internalized stupidity, well that's just great! Chicken noodle soup for [almost] everyone!
Sanity isn't sensitivity.
Do you have any better idea how to spread eBola?
What about Ebola vaccine? USA have it, we KNOW/sacr
REMEMBER, all vaccines for Ebola are held in US Banks. Go to New York and wait in the lobby of each of the major banks. Ask a bunch of employees about it, eventually you will get to the one that keeps it in his desk....
And it turns into a stock play....but what it shows is our Doctors are not miracle workers as they thought.....so now maybe they will take this more seriously...I hope so...
It's called the practice of medicine for a reason.
What explains the God complex then?
And we get to be "Patient"s while they practice.
Everything is a stock play in their world
TKMR just shot up again with the news...
Armageddon trade
Globalism and open borders bitchez! These fuckers will have us all dead before they are done. Well all of us except for about 500,000.
Bill gates plan is working.
Amazingly, the CDC owns “the” patent on Ebola and all future strains.
The “SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION” section of the patent document also clearly claims that the U.S. government is claiming “ownership” over all Ebola viruses that share as little as 70% similarity with the Ebola it “invented”:
Why would a government organization claim to have “invented” this infectious disease and then claim a monopoly over its exploitation for commercial use? It is clear that the CDC plans to claim royalties on Ebola vaccines. This certainly increases the likelihood that the vaccines will become mandatory, thus increasing the profit potential for the patent holders.
Clearly, Ebola is manmade and this patent proves this contention. Why does the CDC need to own the patent on Ebola? Perhaps, we should ask Bill Gates why he is donating $50 million to the UN and the CDC in the name of fighting Ebola (see video below). The CDC has partners in the fight against Ebola, namely, Crucell, the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) and, of course, Bill and Melinda Gates.
Do you understand how much we are being lied to by the media on this topic? The work on an Ebola virus, sanctioned by the holder of the patent for the vaccine, the NIH), has been ongoing since 2004 with clinical trials in 2006. This explains why the CDC and the NIH are bringing Ebola patients into the country to treat. The moment that an Ebola patient crosses the U.S. border, they become the intellectual property of the CDC, NIH and Bill and Melinda Gates! How can we not believe that this is the Hegelian Dialectic run amok in a case of problem creation, solution to the problem and reaction to the problem?
The involvement of the USAMRIID is noteworthy because the Army has long been rumored to have created Ebola and, for purposes of experimentation, implanted the artificial virus in Zaire in 1977.
When an unsuspecting public is finally told of the existence of an Ebola vaccine, the Global Fund will be in charge of the distribution of the vaccine. Interestingly, Bill Gates has donated a total of $560 million dollars to the Global Fund. The Global Fund has also positioned themselves to be in charge of the distribution of the “newly developed”, and not yet announced vaccines for TB and HIV. Since the goal is the vaccination of every man, woman and child on the planet with multiple vaccines, Gates’ $560 million contribution to the Global Fund is chump change compared to the expected ROI. However, on deck is the Ebola virus.

I have read this many times. I still can't wrap my head around it. It seems too sinister to even be real. Then again, I didn't believe the stories from Japanese Unit 731 the first time I read it either.

Stay away from chips (microchips) and vaccines, boys and girls.
Yes, the evil in the US harbored the monster & used his research. He gave us mycoplasma/crystallized brucella.
Vivisections among other torture of live people were a nice touch eh?
Still spouting bullshit, eh? You should be put on trial for going fearmongering to the terror of the public.
Would you please give us a DNA sample prior to your free innocuation? We don't ask for ourselves, but rather our CIA sponsors. Hugs, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
A population that small (500,000) couldn't maintain the grid, or the pipelines, or the roads, or the SFPs and reactors, or the satellites (which are useless without a grid), or the water utilities or the sewer systems, or the farmlands and food distribution networks, or the airports and hotels. A true pandemic where any significant percent of the population is affected and removes those skills and workers puts a lot of networked things at risk.
And that's a bad thing? The important point is that the fishing would improve.
yes, nuclear power plants. meltdowns. global contamination.
Vast, vast amounts in spent fuel pools that need constant flow of water.
Buddyeffed ... the Guidestones call for a population of 5,000,000 NOT 500,000.
Half billion peeps is the estimated global population in the 16th century.
For what, the USA or the world?
Even just considering 5,000,000 for the USA, imagine being able to do bridge/road repair, snow removal, fire fighting, refinery operation, oil coal and gas extraction, hospital and health care, education at the grades school, high school, and college levels, all with 1/60th of the current population. USA is north of 300,000,000 in population now. Divide by 5,000,000. You get sixty. 59 out of 60 people go away, and any normalcy after that would be rar.e Even 6 out of 60 departing gets scary because of networked effects.
I'm hoping for the best and that this thing is contained. TPTB want to keep the networks that not only benefit them but the rest of us operating in a BAU fahsion. I hope they get this right. Because without those networks, even those 0.0001 percenters with super yachts with oil tankers that follow them are in for a rude awakening someday. At best, they could buy themselves a few decades in some isolated spot of modern luxury. After a while, a lack of spare parts, and entropy and disorder would level the playing field, even for them and their progenies. And if all the SFPs ever cook off, species that depend on long gestation and time to maturity might become genetically challenged.
I left out two zeros in the top post. Five hundred million is what it supposedly sez on the Guide stones ... and that is global population, such as existed back in the 16th century.
I am not inclined to spend one minute either visualizing nor speculating upon the viability of such a world. I harbor several reservations concerning the entire Guide stone narrative.
Worldwide, that's still only one in 14 left to carry on with what the other 13 left behind.
I would much prefer a bullet to the noggin, than shitting and vomiting my guts out.
Open carry a BB gun in Wal-Mart. The cops will oblige you.
Is it Sunday today?
Hell Ya my nigga its on now!
What a shocker.
This guy was a bio-terrorist. Aided and abetted by .gov and their policies.

USA government always lying - bad - good, right wrong.
You need to read it with small remarks
"First and foremost, I want the not American people to know that our not experts, here at the not CDC and across not our government, agree that the chances of an Ebola outbreak here in the United States are extremely high ."
fixed for you
Toast. Who's next....

2 weeks Dallas has at least 10 infected, is declared not under control and is under martial law and efforts to quarantine turn violent.
What's that website where you can make long-term bets with other people??? This would be a good one.

Most people infected show symptoms within 7 days so I would think those that came into contact with him while he was symptomatic before going into the hospital would be testing positive for by now. The ones to watch for now are the care givers, if they were as careless as the Spanish nurse we should be seeing them getting sick at anytime to a week from now. So what do the do with the body? Send it back to Liberia in a sealed coffin or burn him here?
There appear to be a lot of false negatives when a person first becomes symptomatic.
I'm waiting for the guy who pressure washed Duncan's barf to show up positive...somewhere. Either that, or he will stay home, become sicker, and spread it around more.
That was some bad shit right there. Anybody who's ever used a pressure washer knows that you can't help but get covered in mist - that in this case is probably contaminated in Ebola-infected vomit particles.
Horads of infected Africans infected with Ebola flying now to the US to get treated.
This thing gets out of hand very quickly.
The libtards want to overwhelm the system.
Come to the US so Obama can treat you for free.
Is it just me or do Blacks seem to have a higher mortality rate?
The White aid workers recovered pretty quickly.
Not good for preventing riots if true.
The Homosexual has the antidote.
You guys are all dead.
Every flight is now the red eye !!!
Im surprised it hasnt shown up in the caribbean yet...or it has and they have no idea what it is.
No direct flights, and three weeks to cross by boat. Italy and Greece have more to fear.
"Dont try and Secede Texas"
-The NWO
"Don't try and secede Catalonia"
- The NWO
Coincidence? Hmmm.....
Good catch.
and now in Liberia Doctors and nurses are quitting..and the guys that bury the bodies are on strike.....its going to get worse down there...and you can bet some want to come here to get treated and they will lie to get here.....100s of people...probably 1000s now...I bet the flights out of Liberia are full now...waiting lists on all of them.....If I was a flight attendant...i would be doing the ole blue flu thingy....
if i were a doctor or nurse in the usa i would quit with the first ebola person who showed up at my hospital. imo hospitals are totally contaminated after just one patient with ebola dies there.
Where does MRSA (Methacillin resistant Staph Aureus) thrive at? Hospitals.
If our health care system were as great as our leaders would have us believe this would not be true. Clearly, Olbombya will only react when it is too late. There is no proactive in him.
It's a good thing we are sending 4,000 tropps willing to bleed out their eyes and assholes to take their place:
Some US troops battling Ebola in Africa to have direct contact with potential patientshttp://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/07/ebola-us-troops-direct-cont...
No thats Marburg in Uganda. This strain you just pour fluids from your mouth and ass...alot less bloody. Well ok maybe the last day or 2 you leak from everywhere.
The troops are to ensure we bring more of it back here.
Number of cases doubling every 3 weeks.... the numbers are starting to get real over there now..... they're at the point ot crisis and nobody is willing to deal with it anymore.....
So much for the idea that you just need great supportive care to get patients though the disease.
This is a Liberian who lied on his documentation to enter the USA. Thanks to gracious American people who paid for his hospital cost--instead of letting him die on the sidewalk in Liberia, he received best care and still died. Maybe Liberia allocates resources better than America.
The next ones might head for Cuba. "That last fucker died in Dallas. Let's try Havana."
Glad thats over, do they need a Lighter?
Well, there was, in fact, a 70% chance of that happening. Now let's see what Rt looks like in a week.....
It's a sad event when any human dies before their time. let alone from a horrible virus like Ebola. Try to remember that this guy was a human being, a father, a son, brother, uncle - etc. And continue to be thankful that he didn't infect anyone else while he roamed Dallas.
He didn't infect anyone else? Are you sure? We shall see....
You don't know who infected yet, it could take up to 3 weeks.
That purposely lied on health forms and when interviewed about coming into contact with Ebola. His own country want to prosecute him. He came here knowing full well what he was....
Your beautiful concern troll missive moved me to tears. Dickbeat.
Everyone dies, and this asshole deserved it more than most for exposing millions to his disease without a single thought for anyone but his goddamn worthless self.
We'll know in about 2 weeks if or if not he infected anyone else.
2015 is going to be a shitshow.
Apparently literally...
say it with a British accent... 2015 is going to be a bloody shitshow.
