Five kids linked to Texas Ebola patient are held in isolation
New York Post ^ | 10/01/2014 | Chris Perez

The Texas Ebola patient who was misdiagnosed Friday came in contact with five children over the weekend — who are now being isolated at their homes amid escalating fears of an outbreak.

Thomas Eric Duncan has been identified by his sister as the first confirmed case of the deadly disease on US soil — and she says her brother warned health care workers at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on Friday that he had been visiting the US from Liberia, the Associated Press reports.

Duncan — who had a layover in Brussels on his way home — may have also spread the disease to at least one other person he met with before being hospitalized, health officials said Wednesday.

Dallas Independent School District spokesperson Andre Riley told The Post that kids from four different schools in the district have been singled out by the Health Department as a precaution against the deadly virus. They all live in the same neighborhood and he said they are currently not displaying symptoms of the deadly virus.

Riley added that their exact relationship to the infected patient is unknown, but said there is nothing to suggest that the disease will spread to others.

What a way to set up a National Emergency, Martial Law and a Major Blockage of this nation from doing much except die from within, from a liberal rot, voted in by people who wouldn’t recognize freedom if it slapped it in its face and kicked them in the are.

The Infestation , Invasion and Introduction of Vile Diseases proceeds and the borders stay open, even CDC sees the writing on the wall.. And can’t deny, WE are screwed.

Honest Abe, first Republican president, had the right idea about this so many years ago. Marcus Garvey, too. Fly 'em OUT not IN!

So how are y’all liking that libertarianism: free trade, centralized production on foreign soil, centralized everything...? Open source designs with distributed, community-based production is the way to go.

The Republican Party has long stood on the side of free trade. And what does trade have to do with malicious, Executive neglect?
