    He and the people he stayed with are foreigners and that was likely the only path to medical care that they were familiar with.

    "WFAA has confirmed a vehicle roped off outside the clinic is registered to a deputy who accompanied county officials into the apartment where Duncan stayed in Dallas. The deputy was very vocal about not wearing protective gear during the visit."

    Its hard to blame a sick person for seeking medical treatment. What else was he supposed to do?

    Oooh, do you think this means that douchebag Judge Clay Jenkins, who also was VERY vocal about doing the same thing last week, is going to also become symptomatic?

    Highland Park ISD was in a tizzy on the news just last night because his kids go to school there. For those unfamiliar, Highland Park is the Beverly Hills of Dallas, and the school district is as tony as it gets.

    To Protect and to Serve. He could have called the CDC and allowed them to arrange transportation and get an iso process and unit set up at the hospital. They could also get the quickest start possible on sealing up his home, vehicle, and any other personal quarter. By walking in to urgent care when he was symptomatic is either denial, stupidity, or total irreverence.

    Patient zero's girlfriend put out a statement today and Jenkins was one of those whom she thanked. She also intimated that she expects a lengthy investigation into the treatment patient zero received. Anyone surprised that Jesse is on scene in Dallas making nice with the cousin and mom? I guess they think there was some racial motivation in how patient zero was treated....or not treated.

    How about call an ambulance. Tell them the same story you are telling the clerk at the CareNow that has patients in the waiting room. Mind you. He went in, with some good reason, thinking he may have gotten the ebola.

    Have some respect for others if you think you have a killer disease.

    Well, I hope the guy had some bad Chick-fil-a and is being paranoid because he was ordered to go into a possibly infected apt. without protection.
