This Liberia native man took a flight to Amsterdan then to Texas, now he's fighting for his life in hospital. He lied twice, first before leaving Liberia, 2nd when he cheched at ER in Texas he lied to nurse when asked about being close to anyone with Ebola. And all this just to get married with girlfriend in Texas. This man didn't care about others just his wedding day...now dying?

bungallow55: Good info...the issue is people travelling without telling

like this man in Texas


It is a real problem as in the initial stages of the disease the infected person is often if not always asymptomatic ( no signs or symptoms) The only way to stop the spread is by effective quarantine measures but how that could be implemented is anyones guess.dunno

Like I wrote at the beginning, this man lied twice about being closed to someone with the virus, so he was clear to go.

He left Liberia to marry a woman in Texas, he started having symptons once in Texas, too late to stop him to travel abroad

Honesty about where he'd been and his recent contacts might have made the authorities more vigilant, but it all comes down to an awareness of the possibility of infection and the honesty of travellers.wave

Family of his in Liberia comfirmed he's where about

a taxi driver comfirmed he was with dying woman trying to get her

to hospital, this woman was rejected by hospitals, taxi driver didn't want to help this man with dying woman, woman died 4 hours later, still this man desperate to reach Texas knowing he was in contact with dying woman made it to Texas, now he's critical condition.
