Oh no. Mr. Duncan died ....

He was getting worse. I didn't think he would survive. Sorry to hear that he didn't make it.

I am sorry to hear that as well. He is said to have left behind the love of his life. May those who mourn him be comforted.

I believe he came here to marry her. I'm grateful that this man was able to die in a clean bed, in a clean environment, with caring people around him.

What is frightening is nothing that the greatest medical minds on Earth could do for him helped. He was even given a blood transfusion by the surviving ebola doctor who was first treated here. How scary that we could be overcome with something, here in this great land, that no one could treat.

I pray they don't either.

It is frightening. Think about those two children who succumbed to enterovirus. We don't know Mr. Duncan's medical history. He could have been compromised as a result of his living conditions in Liberia. The news has shown the village and the room he rented. Primitive.

True, he may have been compromised - and I agree that the enterovirus is beyond scary.

Let me correct (perhaps) my earlier comment. I believe Dr. Brantly was donating blood to the free lance journalist. Perhaps he did so as well to the Dallas patient, I am not sure. Had this man not been turned away from the hospital and sent back home, the outcome might have been more favorable - we will never know.

I think the Brantly serum was used on both.

I am sure that if requested and felt to have been a benefit, Dr. Brantly would have certainly donated. He is such a compassionate man and very grateful for his treatment and survival.
