The man with the first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. went to hospital feeling sick only to be given antibiotics and be sent home.

It was not until two days later that the man was admitted to the Dallas hospital and put in isolation, it has been reported.

It raises the frightening prospect that he was mixing freely with other people for a full two days while showing symptoms of the virus - the time when Ebola is most contagious.

The unidentified patient has been in isolation

It’s the ER’s fault…yay!…Obama can blame the doctor. Why are we letting anyone in the country from Liberia?

Since commercial air service continues to West Africa, it was inevitable that there would be endemic outbreaks in the West.

I saw some PIO from hospital yesterday explaining how there was no “here” here. But I am thinking... they say the hospital has it under control but he came to hospital sick. He had flown in from Liberia which is Ebola ground zero and they sent him home. We are so unprepared for everything from jihads to pandemics.

Did he stay in bed? Did he use the restroom at the hospital? What about the doctors and nurses that treated him originally? Did he go to the store and touch things? We are dealing with a disease that is often fatal and not indigenous to America. ....It’s not the common cold. Americans have the right to know all about where this guy has been.

... where only the narrowest of access to him is being maintained by the Secret Service.
Oh, wait ...

If I were a Conspiracy Theory Nut, it would appear to be almost by design, wouldn’t it? ;)

More cases will in a few days start coming p in Dallas. It’s here. And we didn’t even have to wait for the soldiers that the Sultan sent over there to get it for us.

The ISIL or whatever they call themselves now are probably following this closely. They see how easy it is to get something like Ebola into this country.

Obama can blame the doctor

***********
That’s Obama’s very first instinct: the POS always looks to blame someone or something else. Nothing is ever his fault or responsibility.

I saw this in the news this morning.

You would think the hospital would have been a bit more concerned about it with him recently having come from Liberia. Of course its also possible he lied.

I’m convinced that you are right about that. We all know the administration’s mantra: Never let a crisis go to waste.

Maybe its part of the Obamacare protocol: send everyone home to see if they recover. /sarc

As long as the Dr is white. If black, would definitely get a pass from 0

The patients’ history is very important. Most MD’s don't spend enough time questioning their patients. Veterinarians have to quiz the owners at length because even one word can give us a diagnosis from their observations.
