He came for a better life. We heard he was visiting his son and the young man's mother. He was welcomed at a great big cookout, a BBQ party that had almost 100 people present who are all now contacts in quarantine. The word in America is isolation. Later we heard he came to LIVE in America for a better life which we have all done. I went to the USA in my teens, got 3 degrees contributed to society 30yrs after battling raising a profoundly autistic son, returned home to Nigeria.
But Duncan would never return to Liberia nor even realize the American dream, instead would die as a good samaritan who helped a pregnant woman infected with Ebola into a taxi cab and got infected by her. How you wonder? We may never know.
There are questions people keep asking me. Could the pregnant woman have been sweating profusely, did she cough in his face and saliva hit him? Ebola is the most deadly disease we have seen in a long time and it's time for aggressive education and NOT the blame game.

Duncan was infected with Ebola and brought the disease to the U.S., will be prosecuted for lying on his airport screening questionnaire, as stated by Liberian authorities on Thursday.
The form, which was obtained by the AP and confirmed by a government official, shows that Duncan answered “no” to questions about whether he cared for an Ebola patient or touched the body of someone who died in an area affected by Ebola. In light of West Africa being plagued by Ebola, the AP notes that passengers leaving Liberia are being screened for fever and are asked if they have had contact with anyone infected.
“He will be prosecuted” when he returns to Liberia, Binyah Kesselly, chairman of the board of directors of the Liberia Airport Authority, told reporters.
In addition, Kesselly said people like Duncan and Patrick Sawyer have brought a “stigma” upon Liberians living abroad. Sawyer, a Liberian-American, generated headlines after infecting people in Niger upon traveling there.
While the Liberian government is still concerned with TOURISM, the rest of the world is trying to stay safe. What went wrong in Liberia? I am planning to interview the Health Minister over there and clarify some things I saw in West Point and Weala as I am so concerned about these communities after seeing so many dead bodies roadside on my trip there.

Politics and PR in the next few days as I plan to appear on Skype overload on global networks. Up to 6 Americans transported from Liberia with Ebola, they are CURED or survived with treatment and a Liberian enters America, he's DEAD. Where have we gone wrong here? Now you just got Jesse Jackson very mad!! That may even turn into a civil rights case. Where's Al Sharpton? Oh he deals with police shootings.
Jesse Jackson was just in Dallas visiting Duncan's family which was very kind of him by the way.
Jesse Jackson visits infected Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan in Dallas to ensure doctors 'kill the disease and not the person' Now everyone is in trouble with this headline. The political ramification of Ebola is bad as it is here in West Africa.
In Nigeria, political parties are crediting and discrediting each other. Now you got a BLACK man dying in America while WHITE aid workers and health workers are CURED!
