#1 Nice chap that Thomas Eric Duncan. People were turning up dead all around him and he flew on to the states anyway and mingled with children. Nice chap. Hoping for the very best for him, and that his estate is able to pay the medical costs.

#5 Still no word on gov't travel restrictions to and from the infected regions. Warnings yes, restrictions no. No word on travel visas or screening.

#6 I've been war-gaming worst-case scenarios since July. But this shocked me:

But he certainly knew that he had been exposed to Ebola by the time he boarded that plane and came to Texas, four days after his friend died of it. He must surely have known it when he first visited the Texas Presbyterian Hospital, and he must have known it when the doctors sent him home.
. . .

Let that sink in, though: he knew he'd been exposed, and it's not unfair to deduce that he thought to himself, "the Americans will save me".
. . .

IF he survives- and he's still in pretty bad shape- then it's not much of a leap of logic to figure a lot of sick and potentially sick people will make the decision that it's worth the effort to get over to North America.

#7 Oh super. Four of Duncan's relatives directly exposed and restricted to their homes have been out and about:

"The family was having some challenges following the directions to stay home, so we're taking every precaution," Texas Department of Health spokeswoman Carrie Williams said about why the state had issued a legal order. "Food and other needs of the family are being worked out logistically today. Those needs will be specifically covered to allow them to stay in the house."
