US Ebola Patient Thomas Duncan Dies by asala1: 4:57pm On Oct 08, 2014 |
The first person to be diagnosed with Ebola within the US has died, Texas hospital officials have said. Thomas Duncan, who caught the virus in his native Liberia, was being kept in isolation in a Dallas hospital and receiving experimental drugs. Earlier the US announced new security procedures at entry points to check travellers for symptoms of the virus. More than 3,000 people have died in West Africa in the worst Ebola outbreak yet. While Mr Duncan was the first person to be diagnosed within the US, three American aid workers and a photojournalist contracted the virus in Liberia. Ebola spreads through contact with the bodily fluids of someone who has the virus and the only way to stop an outbreak is to isolate those who are infected. Earlier on Wednesday, US officials announced travellers from Ebola-affected countries will face increased security scrutiny at American airports. The Department of Homeland Security has ordered agents at airports and other ports to "observe" arrivals for potential signs of Ebola infection. The new security measures, rolled out by the Transportation Security Administration, will reportedly take effect this weekend or early next week. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29543956 |

How come the American citizens flown back home after contracting the disease survived while an African died? #SomethingFishyG oingOn |
