The five children currently under quarantine attended school this week at four different Dallas schools.
WFAA reported:
Dallas Independent School District Superintendent Mike Miles also revealed that five children from four of the district’s campuses were possibly exposed to the virus.
Miles identified the schools as:
Conrad High School
Tasby Middle School
Hotchkiss Elementary School
Dan D. Rogers Elementary SchoolTasby Middle School shares a campus with Jack Lowe Sr. Elementary School, but DISD officials say there are no students at Lowe Elementary who were directly exposed to Duncan.
The superintendent said students at the schools “possibly had contact with the patient” and attended classes at the schools earlier this week. Miles said none of the students have exhibited any symptoms of Ebola at this time.
“So, the odds of them passing on any sort of virus is very low,” Miles said.
The number of people who came into contact with Texas Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan has zoomed from as many as 18 to 80.
“Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.” CSA GEN George Casey on Diversity after the Ft Hood shooting- 8 NOV 2008
Let’s hope our diversity is not a casualty again.
Here we go...
In 21 days you will know for certain if you should double-check your prepper supplies.
I am going out this weekend to stock up on water and toilet paper (things which never spoil)
Mike Savage, PhD in epidemiology from Berkeley, is right on point with the most basic principles required to halt the spread of contagious infectious disease. Just like we saw back in the 1980s when male homosexuals were allowed to spread HIV because some miscreant judge and a few crooked politicians declared civil rights of perverts trumped the public health. We started with one case now we have millions of this chronic disease that has cost healthcare 100s of billions. If the Ebola virus gets out of hand, you ain’t seen nothing yet. BO will own this disaster, but hey, to him, this is an opportunity. Watch the old media cover for this despicable monster.
I’m reading an excellent book called ‘The Jakarta Pandemic’. Easy read, and timely.
what a blathering lib idiot... these are like catch-phrase slogans that some PR team develops. None of these kind of one-liners are based in science, fact, history or anything really... other than driving a liberal agenda.
lollollol
If anyone has their kids in those schools today, they are brain dead!
Hot Zone is also a good short read. I know there is a free download but lost the link.
*click* spin *click* spin *click* spin…BANG!
Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
We’re gonna need 
a bigger cart!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
TransmissionEbola is introduced into the human population through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals. In Africa, infection has been documented through the handling of infected chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead or in the rainforest.
Ebola then spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids. Burial ceremonies in which mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased person can also play a role in the transmission of Ebola. Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness.
WHO – Ebola virus disease fact sheet
If Obama had a father, he’d look like Thomas Eric Duncan who sees nothing wrong with spreading himself around.
I may not have read all the ebola articles, but nowhere is it mentioned HOW did these five children come in contact with the possible virus.
Is it because they are from the same apartment complex with Mr. Duncan and his relatives?
Great to see our tax dollars hard at work paying for these diseased lowlifes to come here, get on welfare, get Obola smartphones and post on facebook, get free section 8 housing, travel back and forth to African hell-holes, and infect us with no-cure diseases. Nice!
Could this be why the government recently purchased so many body bags and other paraphernalia to deal with massive body counts??
nobody is mentioning that this guy got here on a VISA that shouldn’t have been given. Are the kids illegal?
The enterovirus has been linked to Central American genotype, but once again the MSM is silent on this issue.
These FACTS need to be shoved down the throat of every reporter, tweet, facebook, email, fax, snail mail in order to stir the pot and bring this travesty of open borders and attempting to obtain votes is stopped.
It is ILLEGAL.
thanks for the link - great read
