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.

Goldman Sachs brought him to America because they thought the shock would make the stock market go up as it usually does.
Waling dead season premier coming to your neighborhood....
Don't have to wait for it to come on Netflix. I can "bingewatch" it from my living room window
Notice the market shot up on the news? I guess this is bullish. Such a sad pathetic time this is.
After being diagnosed a person has one week to exact revenge against _______. It’s curtains in week two.
RIP. You'd have done the same in his shoes.
Is this some twisted argument in favor of determinism?
Well, hold on your empiricist hat, cuz it's about to go full blown biblical.
uuuummmm.............. fatalism? jus sayn
I'm talkin' biblical, yer talkin' philosophy...jus sayin'
Without freewill you can't have love jus sayn'
Uh, no. If I caught ebola, I'd do the sensible thing and stay at home and die. But then, I believe in this archaic concept called "personal responsibility". It would be my own fault for catching ebola because I wasn't careful enough to avoid contaminated people and objects, so I would not get "revenge" on my fate by inflicting the same miserable fate on others.
I might get my sluttiest outfit on and go french kiss a politician. Maybe fuck him. Or throw an orgy for any and all. If they have blow, haaay! What a way to go, in service to man and woman kind!!
AT Last !!! A female saviour !!!
Tour the law schools then the courthouses. Law schools first so you can get arrested at the last courthouse & get booked & fondled by little Alex's droogies, then the guards. That should start a positive trend. First the rats, then the cabal, then the eta & hinin.
He didn't know for sure he had ebola until he was checked a second time at an American hospital. He only made the wrong choice if he deliberately infected other people and so far we don't know if he infected anybody. Remember according to the CDC ebola is not air-borne.
I did not mark you down but you are going to get beat up on this one. I defended him for a while too. He LIED on his form by checking off that he had NOT contacted anyone with Ebola. He carried a preganant woman with Ebola to her families house after he rode in the cab with her and she was rejected at three hospitals. It's the lie that points to intent.
For one, I deserve most of my mark-downs. Two, they only hurt for like half a day or so. Three, I think you all got me on the lie part. Four, it's not a lie if you believe it's true. Five, IF nobody else dies from his contact then all is sort of OK.
"RIP. You'd have done the same in his shoes."
Just because you would, doesn't mean the rest of us would.
You guys have No Idea what is getting ready to happen.
Save yourselves.
Say your prays, Rabbit.
Bwahahaha!!! Jesus is taking Earth to the woodshed.
Do us a favor LC55,
Tell us where you escaped to & HTF you got your $$$ out.
HEY FRIEDEN, GO PERSONALLY CHECK OUT THE BODY. IT'S TOTALLY SAFE, RIGHT?
I give it two weeks and then we will know how many people he INFECTED....
he shed more virus in the past two days than he did in the previous two weeks. imo we won't know for at least a month how many he ultimately infected.
If lucky, this round will end with him. So far none of his contacts have shown symptoms. Or the contacts' contacts. 21-day countdown for his hospital staff and whoever gets to throw him in the incinerator.

I hope Satan makes that fucking cockroach re-live his horrible death for an eternity...
Shooting the messenger, yen? Ever actually watch someone die from haemmoraghic fever? Better be careful what you wish for, dearie-the bell tolls for thee. And me.
what do you have, a fucking ear necklace from watching peoples die from hemorragic fevah? Keep your fucking superior piety to yourself.
I've had to say it before here, but just for you: Be quiet son, the adults are busy reveling in other's misfortunes.
Besides, the way our fucking idiot leaders are "containing and handling this crisis" we might as well be Prince Prosperos guests.
Party until midnight, bitches, because at this rate is a straight up craps shoot and when the clock chimes
The Red Death will hold Indomitable Sway over all.
Revel away, old boy. Whatever gets your rocks off. No doubt, though, after you've seen a few die-especially if they're close to you, well, you might have a little piety yourself.
And so far as the leadership, well who the fuck voted 'em in in the first place?
F/U He knowingly came in close contact with infected individuals (unprotected) knowing full well the consequences. He then lied about to gain entry to the U.S.
Your comment is baseless, and does nothing to rectify the fact that this asshole will probably be responsible for the deaths of 100's if not 1000's of innocent people!
I don't have to see the drunk driver that kills a carload of people because of complete lack of regard for human life, to know how horrific it is.
The outcome of Duncan being here is not yet known. It would have happened sooner or later anyway. Maybe the response to his situation will render protocols that actually save hundreds or thousands of lives. You generally have pretty well thought-out comments, Yen. Don't let fear cloud the list of possible outcomes, many of which are likely to be positive exactly because of what Duncan did. The guy who survives the firefight is usually the one who doesn't lose his cool.
Duncan isn't the one who let this thing get out of control. Watching politicians and oil company execs wringing their hands doesn't exactly inspire confidence. But the docs at CDC and WHO are the best ammo we have for this. Put some energy into that instead.
Why don't you put some energy into staying on topic... This whole nightmare has been mismanaged, and this individual has just set precedent for other infected persons to try and gain entry into the country because of his direct actions. (illegal actions I might add)
The Home Security people did a shitty job of keeping terrorists out of the country.
That goes without saying.
I would NEVER put my family in direct contact with an infectious disease, that's got a 50-90% mortality rate because of my personal needs. That is EXACTLY what Thomas Eric Duncan did.
So much for "under control", "we will stop it here", "we have the best healthcare system in the world". Next up, "we never expected this", "who could have seen this coming", "we were not prepared for this".
You forgot: "It's Bush's fault"
You all be Racists and haters for being against letting the sick, infected West Africans come here for their slavemasta's help.
Wonderful. In a desperate bid to save himself, he exposed an unknown number of people to a deadly virus without informing them of the dangers. Then in the end, he wound up dying anyway, while the future death and destruction his actions may have caused are yet to be seen.
What a fucking loser.
People do crazy shit when they are doomed.
Altruism is not at the top of that list.
forwardho, your statement and the green arrows display a stunning level of unawareness of - amongst other situations - the countless stories of warriors throughout all places, cultures, and times who have bravely, selflessly sacrificed their lives so that others could survive.
Thomas Eric Duncan will not secure a place with those known and forevermore unknown courageous souls.
X2 post
Judging by the way the CDC has handled this so far I'm guessing their next move is to dump the body in the Dallas water supply. I've heard that Muslims are big fans of burial at sea.
Another bullshit vaccine for example like flu vaccine. In the past, had vaccines that were effective like Sabin-Salk for Polio, Hepatitis B, DPT. Granted, medical advances are built on trial and error with some necessary failures, but today, I suspect it is driven by secret government agenda, insider deals for profit through government subsidies, with the effectiveness an afterthought.
If this counteragent did not work , then reported vaccines used on US troops won't either .
They will need a smart bullet that shoots only people with ebola (can be done) for a cordon-sanitaire of lead

Sweet Jesus, would you just pay Google for some visibility already and quit pimping your goddamn blog? Every one of your posts contains a list of links. It's almost like Michael Snyder is posting here.
Hear, Hear.
Second the request.
"pimping your blog"
There's a good bit of that going on around here.
I'm surprised the Tylers don't seem to mind.
It's hard to believe that NONE of his relatives that were in close proximity to him while showing symptoms are sick yet. Just sayin
How would you feel now if you hugged him when he came back..or his girlfriend who had sex with him.....a little nervous I would think...
Maybe the Ebola Man’s girlfriend is a X-ian and doesn’t put-out like that Palin brood.
She's a dead woman walking....
Ebola pandemic would be a good thing since world's population is growing too large anyways, creating all sorts of issues from food shortages to economic inequality.
So... you're volunteering? We'll pick up the air fare to Liberia for ya.
I am smart, I would improve the gene pool if I survive. So no, I won't volunteer to die. I won't have to volunteer though becuase the smart people will generally be able to avoid death. So it will once again be a return to Survival of the Fittest, after decades of the genetically unfit sponging off everyone else.
Interesting post/view, Mr. Not-so-smart Mark BC.
I would bet that some uber fit, strong neandrathol types would delegate the brainiacs to the dustbin of history as has been the case for all of recorded human history.
The most clever, charismatic of those types would eventually rule ... thus restarting the IQ rebuilding process to regain your just-declared level.
Yes, thank you Malthus.

Ebola, fact and fiction, from a nurse's viewpoint. Rational, informed, and a good reality check:
http://dtolar.wordpress.com/2014/10/01/ebola-a-nurses-perspective
Thanks. That's a worthwhile read.
Apparently, "the greatest health care system in world history," can not save you! What you say Mr. Obama and Drs. Thomas Frieden and Antony Fauci. "Nothing to worry about?" Tougher screening. No question about it -- those TSA agents are qualified to screen for Ebola! This Administration is just not incompetent, but criminal.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it should be noted, was originally an agency within the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS). The USPHS was founded 1798. In 1878, the PHS mission was expanded to take on control of infectious diseases, including quarantine, which previously had been a state function. The Public Health Service Act of 1944 clearly established the federal government's quarantine authority for the first time. The act gave the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) responsibility for preventing the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States. Quarantine was then transferred to the CDC in 1967.
I say all this because it should be perfectly clear to the leaders of our Nation, that travel restrictions and quarantine are permissible by law, and primary tools to protect the American people.
CDC Director, Dr. Tom Frieden, has proffered that infected patients pose little risk to others. Then why have over one hundred health workers in Africa, in biohazard suits been infected? He is wrong. The CDC Director proclaims that a U.S. citizen has a “right” to return to the United States, to a hospital of his/her choosing with the world’s deadliest communicable disease – Ebola. No Government quarantine required. He is wrong again. Dr. Frieden has lectured the American public that he ‘certainly hopes people’s fear doesn’t trump their compassion.’ When did Dr. Frieden stop being an infectious disease specialist and become a medical ethicist?
The facts are that the American people are scared and have right to be. The facts are the American people do not believe the Federal government is looking out for their welfare. The facts are this is not politics. The facts are this is life and death.
If this doesn't bring America to its senses (remove Obama), than perhaps it is time that the surplus population is removed.Like to see Frieden and Obola as pallbearers..
The fact that it's only been 14 days since he became ill is what we should be worried about. All the most reputable scientists that have studied Ebola sgree that this strain is very different and can mutate. In some cases the virus has infected people up to 25days after contact. I expect we will see many more cases in the US that were directly linked to Duncan. I'm sure the CDC also knows this even though they hoodwink everyone into believing everything will be just fine... The next 30 days will be a real eye opener for the world and by Christmas total paranoia and chaos will be our new normal

Good riddance
This is an example of just one of the benefits of a Fascist society - borders are protected from dieseased, unskilled and incompatible invasive species. With Liberal Democracy you get economic collapse, open borders and chaos.
Thomas Eric Duncan dead, markets green
Damn, fukking CNN already jumping into the lawsuit mode. Claiming that he did not get the needed experimental drugs. WTF?!
They told me Wile E. Coyote died. They showed pictures of his death. But I saw him later...
Oh give it up. There are a million other more dangerous things in your life that don't get a second thought because they don't push all the fear and "heart of darkness" apocalypse hot buttons that Ebola does. Get a grip people. So what is it now... one or two N Americans have died? And I am supposed ot be scared? Oh right ... thousands of Africans have died. Might have something to do with smothering themselves with the dead bodies at funerals, something we tend not to do here. Oh yeah ... try not to get bitten by a vampire bat. I know that's a hug concern where I live... Oh but it will soon be airborne!!! Then we'll all die! Every disease outbreak is the same.
It will not take more thsan 24 hours for the professional race-baiters to loudly ask in the media why the two white doctors who contracted Ebola and were treated in America survived, and the poor black Liberian who was treated in America died.
The blood transfusions seem to get the job done. Duncan did NOT get one, the news reporter is getting one.
And he is black.
It's already started with CNN leading the way.
Good Thangz!
I'm fucking tingly with giddyness thinking of Jesse Jackson turning into a ketchup-filled water balloon and busting all over the floor.
Karma gonna get you ZH'ers...lets see how you do bleeding from your anus, all your silver and gold horde and AR15s wont do much good then
Fuck you too asshole.
My Karma is fine how is yours?
It ran over my dogma.
Im not worried about a the ebola virus untill i see reason to be.
We will no more in a week or two.
"We will BE no more in a week or two". fify :)
No, know.
Smelt the gold down into bullets. Golden Bullets should expand very well.
As far as I know, Ebola is not the site or posters faults; reporting is no fault too. As for the AR15s, those will be helpful in creating an 8th hole in your head from about 100 yards out should it go full retard. I'd be looking into protective measures.
Nothing a couple of rounds of golf can't cure.
Does that mean he won't be prosecuted?
He died without permission and in violation of a presidential edict, Eric Holder is going to go after him, and his troubles are just beginning.
Obola Care couldn't save him.... go figure
Israel has been reporting this for 2 days.
True, but he died this morning.
Good luck in finding someone to clean his dialysis machine.
Obamacare will take care of that :0
AFTER his organs were already shutting down it was waaaay too late to be trying new drugs on him, he was more than likely already beyond any help.
Exactly. Same reason they don't give vaccines to compromised immune systems. It would have done more harm than good at that stage.
His name was Thomas Eric Duncan.
Thomas Eric Duncan or T.E.D.

You had to realize it was just a matter of time before Whitey got sick of your shit.
LOOK AT YOU NOW!
You just hold onto that thought, ok? The name of this gig is that Planet Earth is fed up with Whitey. And anybody else who kowtows stupid shit. The way this bug mutates, you'll be bleeding out along with the rest of us. Fool. Know-nothing, learn-nothing, do-wrong fucked up FOOL. If there's one karma for the white man, its dying from a horrible disease - for all the millions he killed with the pox' brought with him to the 'New World.'
LOL!
Who is going to feed all those fly covered, pot-bellied little kids of yours when that fat-ass Santa Claus WHITE guy in the late night infomercials turns into Kool Aid man and croaks?
OHHHHHH YEAAAAAHHHHH
Hell, you're probably not even from a shithole country filled with miserable brown people, are you? Most likely your some 125 lb patchouli smelling, knit rasta beret wearing little metrosexual persuing your 3rd degree in womyns and gender studies. Because that unshorn fat hippy pussy is THE BEST you're gonna see, young man. Trust me... I know.
We've had the toe-tag on us before. It's been that close, but we're still here and still the best option going, despite having to carry all you leeches along, too. Just keep pushing, and mix that up with some good old fashion societal breakdown due to The new and Improved Red Death and you'll get to see what a real White Riot looks like.
Why, YOU feed 'em, shithead...right out of your little baptist missionary schooboy-fucking church. That's how I know that you know that "unshorn fat hippy pussy is THE BEST you're gonna see, young man. Trust me... I know."
As for, "a shithole country filled with miserable brown people," you just keep showing your moonbeam-white ass. All the brown people in my little country are quite happy, thanks. What's more, they are not in the least bit threatened by big redneck white motherfuckers like you. We eat 'em for dinner once a week, whenever they step off the plane to come foul our beaches with their self-righteous holier-than-thou sunscreen. That's right after we take all their money, and impregnate their daughters with some REAL genes.
As for whitey being the best thing going? Well, ain't you just full of yourself (shit, that is). It doesn't look to me like whitey has much of a grip on anything except greed, poison and his best friend's wife.
So here's what you do, white boy: Bend over. Put your head as far between your legs as you can. Kiss your stupid ass goodbye. Right along with the rest of us, who were stupid enough to let you in the door in the first place. Lying scum. You don't deserve the air you breathe.
Somebody is off their meds.
Si SE PUEDE! or some shit
I like the fact that he's a non-white Jew living on a beach impregating white women.
Trolololololololol
that... or the fucking president of the KrissKross fan club.
who knew??
As a whitey myself Spumoni, I have to agree with you. Most of the problems in the world can be traced back to the belief systems and social structures of white people. Public eneies number 1 and 2 are Christianity and Judaism, followed closely by the brown people religion of Islam. So the brown people don't get a free pass either.
"Most likely your some 125 lb patchouli smelling, knit rasta beret wearing little metrosexual persuing your 3rd degree in womyns and gender studies."
I hereby nominate LFMayor for Catchiest Phrase of the Day. Good Christ, man, that was fucking amazing. I'm laughing as I type this. +100
But everybody loves to use white men's inventions such as internet, cars, phones, tv, aspirin, etc. etc.
Last time I looked at a history book or the demographics of the Western Hemisphere it was Latins who basically murdered and/or enslaved the the greater portion of indiginous peoples of the New World and seized their gold and silver and women and lands.
IF the plunderers of the New World are gonna get taken to task let's be sure to identify them properly.
Maybe Eric Holder can investigate before he bails...
I dont think it was the medicine that saved them.
I wonder what the hospital bill will be. Will his survivors pay it or will we all be making a small contribution through our taxes?
That's an easy one. Federal and State taxpayers will be footing that bill. Dont worry, it's prolly not more than $3 million.
Watch out ...

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- A patient at a Westchester hospital is being monitored for possible Ebola, according to multiple reports Wednesday.
Appearing on WGDJ TALK 1300 Radio in Albany Wednesday morning, Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino said he had been informed about the patient.
News 12 Westchester reported a patient with a high fever who had recent contact with someone from Liberia is being treated at an unidentified Westchester hospital and there has not yet been a test for Ebola.
Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person in the United States treated for Ebola, died Wednesday morning.Duncan traveled to the U.S. from Liberia and had been in critical condition since being diagnosed in mid-September.
(A little bit less) CONTAINED!
"My father died while he was boinking the finest, sweetest ho in the neighborhood. Just died with that big smile on his face. The ho', well, she can't give it away anymore.
It's ok.
Let's say you can die being hit by a bus, or in some pussy.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to be in that long fokkin line."

So there's death and then there's DEATH.
I'd rather not go the Obola way, everybody keep the hell back!
Hikikomori (????? or ????? Hikikomori?, literally "pulling inward, being confined", i.e., "acute social withdrawal") is a Japanese term to refer to the phenomenon of reclusive adolescents or adults who withdraw from social life, often seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement. The term hikikomori refers to both the sociological phenomenon in general as well as to people belonging to this societal group. Hikikomori have been described as recluses, loners, or "modern-day hermits."[1]

I know I might seem silly with all this pandemic stuff going on but does anyone get the idea that there are other things going on that we are not noticing. I'm saying that the Ebola news is pretty much taking over the media; even here at Zero Hedge the Ebola stories get the most posts. That's what got me to thinking.
Anyone ever hear of something called a smokescreen?
A ELE such as an disease epidemic, one that is very hard to cure, is very infectious and involves a horrible, gory death would certainly grab peoples attention. And if it doesn't the MSM would make sure that it did. So once again, people are wringing their hands and worrying about what's going to happen and of course looking to the gov't to take care of the matter. And the gov't has not disappointed what with the CDC taking the lead and all.
I am trying to see what else is happening right now, that would have a profound impact on my life in the future. But nothing really rings any alarms right now. But I am becoming more convinced that there is something very serious happening right now and is NOT a good thing for me. I sense that TPTB are using this to keep us too scared to see whats really happening.
Yes dill-snip it's called inflation.
This is the standard Rothschild's play book.
A play for oil should always be your first thought.
There's lots going on along the Syria/Turkey border. Kurds are getting screwed.
Distractions like MH370, the BP Oil rig, the Costa Concordia, etc. always have a keen sense of timing.
Someone should send some rock (cocaine) to the Whitehouse. LOL
"He's sweating like a mo' 'fo up in that white house…. could be Ebola… but keeps peeking out the curtain.”
"I am trying to see what else is happening right now, that would have a profound impact on my life in the future."
Clueless, are you serious? While I agree with your premise that this whole Ebola scare could be a smoke screen, you honestly don't see what's going on that could have a future impact on your life? Where to even start.
1. The country is broke (and broken). $20 trill debt. $100's of trillions in future debts.
2. Perpetual war (we have been at war for over 3 decades).
3. Virtually infinite expansion of money supply (this can only end in one way).
4. Uneducated (or rather mis-educated) public.
5. Domestic terror operations passively (or actively) supported by the government (i.e. 9/11).
I could go on, but I'm getting too depressed. Time for a couple of shots of Jack.
Ukranian army slaughtered 37 civilians including 19 Jews. The leaders have no control over the Nazis. Israel is super pissed about it.
But it will never make the MSM so no worries.
It looks like Mr. Duncan fled Monrovia and the grim reaper to have an appointment in Samara instead in Dallas!
will this effect his welfare payments?

None of these so-called Ebola cures work. But, it doesn't stop big pharma from using these poor bastards as human guinea pigs. This isn't any more contagious than a cold or flu (actually less so), and can be stopped with proper hygene and precautions. The best way to fight it is with strong immune system and strong doses of supplements. But of course, where's the profit in that?
Watch as thousands follow Duncan and come from Africa to the US for Obama's free Ebola hospital stay. Why die on the floor in Africa when you can come to the US and get the best treatment?
With Obama's political correctness even pushing some infected Americans out.
Question is, after showing signs of the disease (meaning the person KNOWS they have the twinges and aches of first beginning), how long does it normally take to kill them? We don't really know since Duncan had the best of care and was, probably, effectively dead several days ago but with western dialysis (ect) they "kept" him alive long after he should have died.
What I hate most about today's society is that we are told we have no rights:
1. Person has Aids and is your dentist, you don't have the right to know. Shouldn't that be YOUR choice?
2. Peopl have endless communicable diseases like leprosy and tuberculosis, and they are let to run around among us. Where are your rights?
3. And ebola...let's see, could we just let all of Liberia in to the US, and be done with it. Any voice raised about our own self-prevservation will be "prejudice" right?
