Thomas Eric Duncan died at 7.51am on Wednesday at Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas
He exposed 48 people to the disease before he was hospitalized, including his fiancée and two of her children
His condition took a turn for the worse this weekend and by Tuesday he was unresponsive and medically sedated
Doctors began giving Duncan an experimental antiviral drug on Monday
His body still carries the disease and must now be disposed of
CDC rules call for remains will be wrapped in a plastic shroud and zipped up in two leak-proof bags
He will either be cremated or buried in a hermetically sealed casket

I do not know how long the virus can exist in a corpse. If it is a month or less then I have no issues with a hermetically sealed casket. If however, it lives longer then wouldn’t it be wise to mandate cremation to destroy the disease. The idea we can “seal” the disease forever is ludicrous. We will be burying disease time bombs.

I agree that cremation would be wiser.
DeleteWho cares about that killer? Throw his ass in the ocean. What really matters is Obama. The one who is killing us. When will someone throw his ass in the ocean? He seems intent on bringing his disease (and so much more) here.
ReplyDeleteHe and the rest of the commies in the government today and there are many.
DeleteWhat about taking his double wrapped body bagged ass over to any muslim country of your choice, air drop him and attach a explosive device to it so as to spread enough of his diseased racked corpse across the land of his musloid handlers who sent him over here. Just an idea...
ReplyDeleteJust an idea...
Delete& a great one.
Not to be rumor mongering but.....
ReplyDeleteI live in Dallas and a local radio show reported that a police officer that had been in the ebola patients apartment went to a clinic today with a high temperature. Lets just hope he has the flu.
A lot of people are nervous around here.
Yes and early symptoms of the two are similar.
DeleteBut it's not flu season in Dallas right now. Maybe allergies?
DeleteGood point and I read the story, so it may well be the big E.
