Jeopardized

The Dallas Ebola patient, Eric Duncan, died and it's unfortunate that this man lost his life, but I can't help wondering if Duncan had any idea of the jeopardy he put his fiancée and others in when he traveled to the United States. I don't know if he realized he was ill when he left Liberia, but he did know he had been in direct contact with an Ebola victim in Africa. He clearly used poor judgment and endangered the lives of others. I'm not trying to blame the victim here because the man is dead and the hospital he went to didn't do him any favors either by turning him away with antibiotics when he first went through Emergency for help.
