Ebola. The Vultures Gather



Predictably, as if on cue, with the announcement of the death of America's first Ebola case, comes news of an intended law suit against the Texas hospital where he was being treated.
It is of no concern that Thomas Eric Duncan lied to the airline authorities in order to board a plane to the U.S.A. Also, let it not be mentioned that he knowingly had relations with his 'partner' when he arrived in Dallas.
Sufficient that, with his passing, accusations are now being leveled against all the care-givers who courageously sought to keep this man alive, that they failed to give Thomas Duncan the expert treatment that other Americans would have received. 
While the vultures are circling in West Africa where the Ebola plague threatens to take a million or more lives, in America far more ugly birds have now taken to the air.
These scavengers have an acute nose for money, money and only money.
Let us hope that they get not one red-cent and that the doctors and nurses are able to do their missions of mercy without the sounds of greedy squawking above the hospital roof.

Jubilate
