DALLAS -- Health officials say the family of a Liberian man diagnosed with Ebola while visiting them in Dallas left their home, and that's why a "control order" was put in place to keep them inside.

Family members of Thomas Eric Duncan were ordered Wednesday night to stay home or face criminal charges. Four to five people, who are not showing symptoms of the deadly disease at this time, were put under the quarantine by Texas health officials.

The group is not allowed to leave their home in Dallas and cannot visit with anyone outside the home, the State Health Department said on Thursday.

Rush was talking about a large illegal Liberian community in Dallas. Chances are that this family is part of that.

Just spreading diseases Americans are unwilling to contract and spread themselves.

How about “stay at home or get shot by the armed guards enforcing the order?” Surely there’s a SWAT team available.

Once there was Typhoid Mary to refer to those who spread the disease wantonly. I suggest Ebola Barry as a moniker for those who do the same with this disease.

It’s taken Ebola to awake the comfortable that maybe they’ll be at risk from one of Obama’s millions and millions of sick illegals crossing our borders freely.

We’re broke and the medical $$$,$$$ are going to add up even faster than it was when we were barely broke!

The “comfortable” don’t care. They actually think that they are immune and that muslim terrorists won’t kill them just like the rest of us. They are insanely stupid.

Because possibly no one thought a sane person would want to go outside knowing they are infected with a contagious deadly virus. . .but apparently the ignorant and stupid need to be told. . .

Im sure there is but they’re being held in reserve in case the Christian community goes on a head chopping binge or some of the middle class decides to storm city hall w/ guns. Its all a matter of priorities ya know.

I called it yesterday. No way were they going to stay inside on their own initiative. Now, they’re facing jail if they go out.... if they get caught. Come on, really, I don’t think so. There is no jail that has such a facility.

Now they’re looking at 100 possible contacts. I’m assuming that’s just in the Dallas neighborhood and doesn’t include the airports. It’s no wonder the Dallas Liberian community is nervous. FOX said the latest suspected case was a woman and two nephews. The woman’s sheets were still on her bed. Hope that cleaning crew at the schools is a biohazard crew and not the regular school janitors. Imagine how scared all those parents of classmates are. They can sthut down the Chicago airport, again, today for storms but obola can’t shut down African flights or ban anyone from Africa setting foot on our shores.

Now imagine that the government has ordered you to stay in a home that is contaminated with all the cloths and bedding and any other contamination. According to the women, the CDC has not decontaminated the area in any way. So this women could likely get the virus during Quarantine.

Now there is a scary thought.
