With an Ebola epidemic raging in West Africa, passengers leaving Liberia are being screened for fever and are asked if they have had contact with anyone infected. On the form obtained by The Associated Press and confirmed by a government official, Thomas Eric Duncan answered “no” to questions about whether he had cared for an Ebola patient or touched the body of someone who had died in an area affected by Ebola.[/quote] If US deaths occur (as unlikely as they might be)? I'll be damned if they don't call it biological warfare.
I see why he did it, and the fact is that it's highly unlikely that anybody else is gonna get sick given the standard of healthcare in the US, but it was still a silly thing to do. Would've been a hard call to make though - the alternative being staying in Liberia and risking death from substandard healthcare and local ignorance
Seems pretty rough as it sounds like the person he likely contracted it from didn't seem like an ebola victim at the time.
I already have five acres of land on Madagascar waiting for me.

Why is air travel to and from Liberia still available for the normal person?
[QUOTE=Trebgarta;46138285]How is it his fault Did he do it on purpose[/QUOTE] He lied about coming in contact with someone infected, and you don't really get infected by people not showing symptoms.
[QUOTE=Trebgarta;46138285]How is it his fault Did he do it on purpose[/QUOTE] He answered a question saying he hadn't been in contact with anyone who had ebola as part of a screening, it's entirely possible he just didn't know but either way he put the world at serious risk and if they determine he did know he's in big shit

Beside Ebola is not pandemic so he didn't put the world at risk.

[QUOTE=seano12;46138187]I already have five acres of land on Madagascar waiting for me.[/QUOTE] Make sure there's no rats on that land or you might find yourself with the black plague

[QUOTE=markg06;46139087]Too bad Madagascar has the plague floating about.[/QUOTE] It's okay because I'm building a Fallout esque vault. You're all welcome in Vault 69!
[QUOTE=seano12;46138187]I already have five acres of land on Madagascar waiting for me.[/QUOTE] Too bad they closed that harbour long ago then
[QUOTE=Trebgarta;46138427]Read the article, it says he helped carry a prgnant woman to a taxi, who was showing mild symptoms but people thought it was of pregnancy. Who later died of Ebola. He couldnt know.[/QUOTE] Then he just quit his job abruptly, and decided to get a tourist visa for the states. Keep in mind Liberia is currently Ebola central, about half of the cases have been in Liberia. There's no way he didn't know.
I liked the article that said that his family was "having trouble" I think was the wording, with orders to stay in their home. looks like they all aced how to spread disease 101
[QUOTE=seano12;46141059]It's okay because I'm building a Fallout esque vault. You're all welcome in Vault 69![/QUOTE] I thought Vault 69 was inhabitated by one man and 999 women? So, that means that all male facepunchers aren't allowed in. No fair!
[QUOTE=seano12;46141059]It's okay because I'm building a Fallout esque vault. You're all welcome in Vault 69![/QUOTE] 69 cause we gotta top and tail in beds right? Limited space and all that
[QUOTE=BusterBluth;46139536]Why? There's literally no reason they would[/QUOTE] While I do want to blame Liberia for this, it's everyone's fault. Why in the fuck can people get in and out of the country right now? This is a life and death situation and outside of first world nations like the United States and Europe, anywhere else this would be considered an epidemic and a death sentence for a major part of the population. Seriously, contain this shit then open up travel again. The incubation period is only 21 days.
[QUOTE=seano12;46141059]It's okay because I'm building a Fallout esque vault. You're all welcome in Vault 69![/QUOTE] The entire gimmick of Vault 69 is that it is just Seano alone with a million copies of Celeb nudies.
