#1 Early treatment means a good shot at surviving.

Unfortunately, his delay in flying here and getting into the hospital meant his death.

#2 Reports of Ebola death being disputed on Twitter. Some calling the Reuters source quoted "non-existent". Lots of reports that he is fighting for his life on Google News, but I don't see the Reuters death report yet either.

#3 Is it cynical to think we might not hear an update until next Friday?

#4 Fastest way to obtain treatment is not to cross the Atlantic...

Treating him incentivizes people to try the same, with DISASTROUS results for the population they'll inevitably infect.

#5 Trans-Atlantic air travel dramatically shortens survival metrics. Get the word out.

#6 Someone will notice that the only Ebola patient who was treated in America but didn't survive is also the only one who isn't white. The conspiracy will be obvious to anyone who is already certain it's there.

#7 Ebolaman's name is Thomas Eric Duncan. Maybe they got the wrong obit.

#8 He didn't help himself by lying during his first visit to the hospital. If he had been honest about not only his travel (which he was), but his exposure (which he lied about in Libera and in Dallas), they would have admitted him and started supportive treatment during the first trip to the ER. Not saying that would have saved him, but it might have given him a better chance.

His own dishonesty may not have killed him, but it may end up killing others.
