Most intellectually honest people will admit US Ebola Patient Zero, Thomas Duncan, left Liberia -and came to the U.S.- knowing he was exposed to Ebola.
Duncan Timeline: Exposed 9/15, caught a flight 9/19, arrived U.S. 9/20, first symptoms 9/24, first symptomatic hospital visit 9/25. (Thomas Duncan created case #2 and case #3, both nurses).
The generally accepted belief (also by Liberian authority) is that Duncan knew of his exposure when he left Liberia. He came to the U.S. just-in-case.
Well, what would it indicate if current Ebola case #4, Dr. Craig Spencer, followed an IDENTICAL timeline? Read on….
YESTERDAY SUMMARY : Dr. Craig Spencer, who recently returned from disease-wracked West African country, Guinea, after working with Doctors Without Borders, hit the lanes in Williamsburg and used the subway – the No. 1, A and L trains – and Über taxis to get around, and ate at restaurants sources said.
Lives in Harlem, bowls in Williamsburg, runs only three miles because he's a little tired, takes Uber. #hipsteralert #NYCEbola

The shocking revelation that Spencer was roaming around New York, after first telling authorities he self-quarantined himself, emerged after the 33-year-old was hauled off to Bellevue Hospital in a protective suit with symptoms of the deadly disease. (link)
Here’s where it gets interesting. Let’s compare both Timelines:
Thomas Duncan:
Exposed 9/15/14 [Aiding Pregnant friend]
(four days later) Flight 9/19 => 9/20/14 arrival
(five days later) Symptoms 9/24/14
(two days later) *Hospital 9/25/14 (*Turned Away)
Dr. Craig Spencer:
Last work day [Dr’s without Borders] 10/12/14
(four days later) Flight 10/16 => 10/17/14 arrival
(five days later) Symptoms 10/21/14
(two days later) Hospital 10/23/14 (Accepted and tested)
Is it a coincidence that both Duncan and Spencer followed the exact same timeline from African exposure, to departure, to initial symptoms, to hospital presentation?….
….Duncan knowing his exposure in Liberia and travel for medical care. And yet Dr. Spencer DID NOT know he was exposed when he left Guinea, and did not leave for care?
Think about it. Sure is one hell of a coincidence if Dr. Spencer didn’t know.
Then again, ABC has already knighted him a hero:

My gut, and intellectually honest perception, tells me he’s another hipster doofus, Brangelina Beatnik Do-gooder who had a whoopsie in the Hot Zone and did the quick scat back to the U.S. just in case.
Dr. Craig Spencer and Fiancée Morgan Dixon share body fluids
Obviously, just like NBC’s Doctor Nancy Snyderman, and like all similarly minded hipster liberals -bathed in the deep water of hypocrisy- “quarantine” doesn’t really mean “Quarantine, Quarantine” when it comes to them.
Oh, hell no, that only applies to those other people.
