We are being told that he did not die of Ebola.
That is not the same as him not having died of Ebola.
Interestingly , in the news report they did not say what exactly this man died of :
after him having been in one of the worst affected areas of Sierra Leone , after several of his own coworkers having
come down with Ebola , after him being only 44 years old and having died of fever etc. , after him having died of a
sudden illness that looked like Ebola , walked like Ebola , smelled like Ebola.
They're keeping a lid on it worldwide , so as to not panic the ignorant populace. Imo.
Several other cases where the media back pedalled.
Btw , the man lived in Dublin .
He would've had flu-like symptoms for some time , and would have been contagious for some time ,
before falling fatally ill . Of course only 'if' he in fact did have Ebola.
Even if this particular case legitimately proves to be negative ,
any of you concerned ?
I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.

It is absolutely beyond me , that they didn't even close the schools until just a few weeks ago !!
Guinea at one point a couple of weeks ago announced that it's closing its borders , then later in the same day a different
govt representative made an announcement that the previous announcement was made by mistake by a person who didn't
know all the facts , and in fact they are not closing the borders .
Just yesterday (today ?) Senegal has closed its borders with Guinea. Now ?? Only now ??
Boggles the mind!
In the meantime some 15 ppl have died in the Dem Rep of Congo of a hemorrhagic fever . Ebola is suspected.
"If confirmed as Ebola , the presence of the virus in Congo could open a new hotspot for an illness that has
already killed more than 1,200 West Africans in its latest outbreak" -- 08/20/2014.
In Monrovia they have quarantined the shanty town -- by force , with military force.
Now 50,000 people are locked down with no resources , no food , no medicine.
Imo it's too little too late , and narrow minded : Ebola is not restricted to the poor only.
But segregating and locking down each area is the right action. But they'd have to lock down all.
Imo Western World just as culpable as the local govts in not getting a jump on this crisis all the way back in March ,
when it was still manageable , and containable. Local ignorance and Western lack of care got us here. Not good.

True, the West is culpable of negligence, as it was when AIDS started to spread across Africa.
It's hard to believe that they only closed the schools recently?? How could they could be that negligent with young children. One other thing that shocks me, is why even after the virus started to spread, did they still allow flights travel from each of the regions affected into the West. It's complete and utter madness!

On the news at ten it says the man died as we already know but they still do not say what he died from may be it was from the virus but they wont say x x x
no offense ladies, but i think yous is worrying too much. This is becoming a big cover up like the 9/11 conspiracy theories or some soviet style tell-the-media-something-else-happened-but-not-the-truth.
He could easily have had a hundred different diseases: influenza, malaria, west nile virus, dengue, cholera.... something like that.
