Video of interview with Ebola patient's half-brother

http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/02/health/ebola-us/index.html

Also includes article about Liberia saying that Mr. Duncan will be prosecuted for lying on questionnaire before leaving Liberia in that he said "no" when asked if he had any direct contact with anyone that was ill.

It's weird, but the article and the video don't seem to match since the video is an interview with Mr. Duncan's half-brother with a lot of interesting Q&A but nothing about Liberia's threat to prosecute which is what the article is about.

The half-brother says that Mr. Duncan was going to be looking for a job here... meaning though he was coming only to visit on a visitor's visa he'd not planned on going back to Liberia. I never thought that he was coming here only for a visit, and I can understand why he wouldn't want to go back especially now that the Liberian government is threatening to prosecute him if he does go back.

I've been very curious about how he's doing, but I suppose that due to our HIPAA law no one can say though if he ends up dying I would think they could say that. Apparently, the sooner one gets medical treatment the more likely they may survive, but being sick for four days before finally being admitted I don't hold much hope for him.
