In reply to the discussion: Anyone else irked at the way Texas wants to charge the man with ebola with a crime? [View all]magical thyme
(14,881 posts)with anybody with Ebola, when in fact he had been helping people with Ebola. The woman who died of it was not the first person he had helped, she was the last, so even if he didn't know that she had Ebola, he knew he had helped others with it.
That was a crime.
This case shows how woefully unprepared we were, at a local, real level, to deal with it. It also highlights what future cases will require and will lead to changes. It shows regulations that need to be addressed (DOT laws prevented removal of the waste from the apartment) and isolation places set up to quarantine. Where were our famous FEMA camps in all this, anyway?
In the meantime, if I were that guy's girlfried/wife/exwife (I've seen her referred to as all of those), I'd want to sue his ass off. He knew he was exposed, and knowingly exposed her, his own children and her other children. He lied to her about his exposure, until he was puking his guts out all over her apartment.
Wtf kind of father/SO does that to their own child?
