Ebola Patient Dies

Here's what most likely happened with the Thomas Eric Duncan situation.
He came to that private owned hospital visibly sick, then described his symptoms.
The person at the desk asked him "Sir, what insurance do you have?"
He replied, "none."
They responded, "You're not sick, so you can go back home now."
Nothing more than that.
Plain and simple.

Only flu like symptoms.

Had the CDC put out a full ebola alert? Had the CDC at this point in time prepared all hospitals across the nation to implement their protocols?

Why no they hadn't. Because the bloody fools at the CDC had no protocols in place for handling ebola patients.

Now to your point about lack of insurance. Do tell Marc. Why did they admit him round two with no insurance?

Because you are claiming that round one they refused to treat him with no insurance, so why on earth did they treat him round two with no insurance?
The CDC had absolutely ZERO to do with that PRIVATELY owned Dallas hospital.
They didn't hear anything after the now-deceased Duncan said "I have no insurance" they just wanted him off the premises.
They let him back in the second time because of the media and Ebola scare.

Bullshit. Absolute and utter bullshit. There was no ebola scare when they let him in the second time. He was patient Zero remember. Duncan hadn't even been declared an ebola patient.

And the Center for Disease Control was part of the problem. They had issued no stringent alerts. Private or public hospitals. It doesn't matter.

Now I don't know where you are picking up your lies but here's a dose of the truth.

Duncan was at the hospital for four hours before he was sent home. He was examined. Duncan was given a CT scan, blood test and urine tested.

Then and only then after four hours was he released to go home with anti biotics.

ETA: Now they did a shit job in the ER in twenty twenty hindsight at not putting two and two together but that has nothing to do with insurance. But I think we are expecting too much of the front line workers in the ER who had never ever been confronted with anything like ebola.

Here Marc. It was only on the 30th that he was diagnosed to have ebola.

Sept. 25. Duncan seeks treatment at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas and is sent back to the apartment where he was staying with antibiotics.

Sept. 28. Duncan is transported to the same hospital by ambulance. He is critically ill and put in isolation in the hospital's intensive care unit.

Sept. 30. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirms that Duncan has been stricken with the Ebola virus, the first patient to be diagnosed in the USA.
