It will be interesting to follow the proceedure for how the authorities are going to recommend final arrangements for this case.

Also as a reminder, Duncan was put on dialysis Tuesday. His kidneys had shut down.

How do dialysis patients and technicians feel about using the same equipment?
I have no familiarity with this treatment, but I imagine a machine that washes the blood of a patient infected with ebola is going to add more questions to this brew.

Drug Stock Tanks After Ebola Patient Treated With Its Drug Dies SFGate, Wednesday 10/08/2014 8:20 am

*****Note the time on the SFGate report and contrast with the time of Duncan's passing. The stock exchange was aware of his demise hours ago.

You might want to keep an eye on the timing of that pharmaceutical stock dropping due to Duncan's demise. Jessie Jackson and Sheila Jackson Leigh, vultures that they are, are already circling for media attention on the pretense that Duncan's race is a factor of his demise, since the other Ebola patients that survived are all white.

Will the dialysis equipment have to be incinerated?

Ebola victim’s remains to be cremated, sick deputy awaits test results

The remains of Thomas Eric Duncan, the man who died from Ebola Wednesday morning in Dallas, have been sent for cremation.

Duncan died at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital after ten days of treatment in isolation.

State health officials said his body was transported away from the hospital, but didn't give specifics about where it was taken.

The Centers for Disease Control recommended the body be wrapped in a triple layer of plastic and leak-proof bags. Those bags were to be sprayed with disinfectant.

Duncan's ashes will reportedly be returned to his family.
