Churches are suspending Communion traditions and encouraging congregants not to hold hands or kiss. New York Giants football players are second-guessing whether their wives should accompany them on a road trip to play the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
And at the State Fair of Texas, even Big Tex is urging visitors to wash their hands. Dallas has seen only three cases of Ebola, but it’s top of mind for almost everyone.
Healthcare experts remain confident they can stop the deadly virus in its tracks, and they say there is little chance of an outbreak in the United States.
As of Thursday, no new cases of Ebola had been reported beyond the first three — a Liberian man who died last week in a Dallas hospital, and two Metroplex nurses who are being treated after contracting the disease while caring for him.
But because Dallas-Fort Worth, home to roughly 7 million people, is ground zero for a new contagious threat, its residents are taking whatever precautions they can.
Many organizations taking steps to prevent Ebola are simultaneously urging calm. They aim to remind residents that the virus, which is spread by direct contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids, isn’t likely to make its way through society like the flu or the common cold....

And the boy-friend of one of the nurses?
Two presidencies died in Dallas.
Yep, the worry is certainly spreading. I got my teeth cleaned yesterday, and there was a big sign in the dentist’s waiting room asking people to let them know if they’ve been to Africa in the past month. No cases yet in Vermont, but who wants to take chances—other than Obama and his gang?

0b0la is nothing to screw with. Don’t give Bammy an excuse to declare martial law.
Hey no reason to ban flights..a Nigerian man up chucked like crazy on a flight from Nigeria to JFK, puked like crazy in his seat and died today, CDC comes on board and says “Nope no Ebola”
Yep, no 0b0la to see here; move along.....
2. Ebola outbreak is contained because the citizens largely ignore the ignorant blather coming from Washington and behave very cautiously.
3. Feds take all of the credit claiming they were right to downplay the dangers and they did everything necessary to nip the epidemic in the bud.
The Obama administration can be thankful this first outbreak happened in Dallas. If it had happened in a city full of self-interested and self-righteous Obamabots then the Ebola epidemic would be just now getting into high gear.
I knew that was nothing but passing around germs when I was a little kid.
Funny and right on the mark at the same time.
That made me chuckle out loud.
Don’t mess with Texas.
OH MY GOD..that is so funny. But not...oy.
Great post.
“They aim to remind residents that the virus, which is spread by direct contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids, ISN’T LIKELY TO make its way through society like the flu or the common cold.”
Only a week ago, it was “CANNOT”...
Next week it’ll be “maybe,” then “possibly,” then “probably,” and then “is,” and by then it’ll have killed thousands.
My wife has an appointment with the dentist at the Med Center area of Houston next Monday. That place is like the United Nations. We’re very concerned.
With all the wonderful diversity here in Houston it’s just a matter of time before someone shows up with ebola.
Senator Cruz was on Hannity last night. Apparently Sean is flying to Dallas to give a speech with Sen Cruz on Saturday.
Didn’t hear where they will be in Dallas.
