Following the mysterious announcement from an Israeli news source over the weekend, the American media has finally released information that Thomas Duncan has died from Ebola.
From CNN:
Thomas Eric Duncan, the man with Ebola who traveled to the United States from Liberia, died Wednesday morning at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, the hospital said.
He had been in critical condition after being diagnosed with the virus in mid-September. People who have had contact with him have been isolated and are being monitored for symptoms.
News of Duncan’s death comes as a federal official told CNN that airports in the United States will begin taking the temperatures of arriving passengers who have flight itineraries originating from West African countries where Ebola is concentrated.
Some people believe that the Israeli source had it right and that Duncan died over the weekend, leading them to question why the CDC would withhold the announcement. Whatever the case, it’s now official: the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in America did not survive the disease.
