As many of you know, I reported in Sunday’s show (Episode 14-39) that the Ebola patient, Thomas Duncan, had passed away, according to an article on the Jerusalem Post and Israel National News. Since then the Jerusalem Post article is nowhere to be found. Alternately, the Israel National News has since changed it’s story. Below are the copy and pasted versions from the exact same link, copied 16 hours apart.
I suspect that they anticipated Duncan passing away, and prematurely reported his death, being forced to change their story. The more conspiratorial approach would be that he really did pass away and it’s being buried so as not to panic the general public. One of the most dominant themes coming from agencies like the CDC is that Ebola wouldn’t pose much of a problem in the U.S. due to our advanced medical technology. So, who knows, but here are both versions of the same article, from the same link.

As I copied and pasted it into my show notes yesterday before the show:
As of Sunday, 1700hrs Pacific:
Thomas A. Duncan, who became ill with Ebola after arriving from West Africa in Dallas two weeks ago, succumbed to the virus today (Sunday), reports Reuters. Duncan was fighting for his life at a Dallas hospital on today after his condition worsened to critical, according to the director of the US Centers for Disease Control.
The Dallas hospital that admitted him did not recognize the deadly disease at first and sent him home, only for him to return two days later by ambulance.
