The FACTS as broadcast tonight on the National News, were that the Doctor arrived in this country already suffering from Kidney and Respiratory failure. His prognosis was grim from the start and he could not be saved from the virus. There was no mention that he was declared virus free and sent home. He was very sick when he got here and could not be saved.

Here's an article today that calls it a "mistaken" ebola test…not sure why they call it mistaken, but am guessing it's because he had obvious symptoms when first tested(?)

"FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — When Martin Salia’s Ebola test came back negative, his friends and colleagues threw their arms around him. They shook his hand. They patted him on the back. They removed their protective gear and cried.

But when his symptoms remained nearly a week later, Salia took another test, on Nov. 10. This one came back positive, sending the Sierra Leonean doctor with ties to Maryland on a desperate, belated quest for treatment and forcing the colleagues who had embraced him into quarantine.

“We were celebrating. If the test says you are Ebola-free, we assume you are Ebola-free,” said Komba Songu M’Briwa, who cared for Salia at the Hastings Ebola Treatment Center in Freetown. “Then everything fell apart…….”
