As Liberia plans to prosecute Thomas Eric Duncan for travelling to the USA with Ebola and denying he ever had contact with an Ebola patient, a Liberian cab driverJiminez Grugbaye has opened up on how he may have gotten infected .He said backin Liberia, he carried a 19 year old pregnant woman by name ,Nathaline Williams who was bleeding from her mouth on the 15th of September ,and Thomas was one of the five people in his cab.According to NBC news"Grugbaye said Williams was bleeding from her mouth, but he was told she bit her tongue and was having a miscarriage, and was reassured that she did not have Ebola.
“She was helpless. She, she was not able to walk by herself,” he said.
Williams’ family and the others caring for her assisted her.He believes Duncan sat in front with him when they left but was in the back on return with the pregnant patient, named in some reports as Duncan helped carry Williams across a footbridge when they got home. She died hours later, and in the following days her brother died and today both parents are hospitalized with suspected Ebola.Four days after Duncan's counter with Ebola-stricken Williams, he boarded a plane for Brussels, Belgium. From there, he flew on a United Airlines flight to Washington Dulles International Airport, where he was allowed into the country.Duncan then flew to Dallas, where he stayed with his girlfriend for five days while Ebola began to run its course. When he showed up at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas with a fever, headache, abdominal pain and decreased urination on September 25, he again claimed he had never come in contact with anyone afflicted with the virulent virus"
