Five members of the Dallas County Sheriff's Department who were briefly inside the apartment where a man with Ebola stayed have been temporarily put on leave.
"They're very concerned," said Christopher Dyer, president of the Dallas County Sheriff's Association. "Their families are concerned. You've got to go home and tell your spouse, 'Hey, I was just inside this house where a guy had Ebola.'"
The three deputies, a sergeant, and a lieutenant accompanied the head of Dallas County Health and Human Services Department and a doctor into the apartment late Wednesday night. They had gone there on the orders of Sheriff Lupe Valdez to get the people inside to sign a court order forbidding them from leaving the apartment.
Dyer said deputies should never have been involved to begin with, because he considers it a federal issue and not a local matter.
"My concern is for the deputies and their families, and I want to see Dallas County do everything that they can to alleviate their concerns," Dyer said.
The deputies are expected to return to work in a few days, Dyer said.

And the domino effect continues....
“on the orders of Sheriff Lupe Valdez to get the people inside to sign a court order forbidding them from leaving the apartment.”
Why do we need their consent?
Paid leave for fifteen days. Hopefully, they don’t come down with anything. Question is...do they force the guys to go back to their own home and make their families stay in the home as well? Or did they form up a compound camp already for protective purposes?
Thanks President Obola!
Are these officers being quarantined like those family members?
These may be unreasonable concerns. I hope so.
Fire that Ignorant Valdez NOW. getting their permission?????
I am speechless, the deputies and all actually obeyed the Sheriff's order???? Really????? we are truly doomed.
If this weren’t so serious, you could make a heck of a 3 Stooges film out of this.
Someone should tell the lesbian that a real leader never orders her people to do something she isn’t willing to do herself.
Then fire the folks who obeyed the orders for being too stupid for their jobs.
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. A communicable disease order is a county matter not a federal matter.
Texas law allows the state health department and the local health authority to issue control measures to a person who is ill with, has been exposed to, or is the carrier of a communicable disease. (Health and Safety Code §81.083).
Incompetence and malfeasant is the coat of arms of Obama’s administration
The Centers for Disease Control Changed Its Ebola Prevention Page on September 19, 2014. Why?
PJ Media ^ | 10/1/14 | Bryan Preston
PREVENTION
PARAPHRASING SOCRATES, THE CDC ADMITES THAT ALL THEY KNOW IS THAT THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT EBOLA.
CDC edited out the following text on Sept 19:
Because we still do not know exactly how people are infected with Ebola, few primary prevention measures have been established and no vaccine exists. When cases of the disease do appear, risk of transmission is increased within healthcare settings. Therefore, healthcare workers must be able to recognize a case of Ebola and be ready to use practical viral hemorrhagic fever isolation precautions or barrier nursing techniques. They should also have the capability to request diagnostic tests or prepare samples for shipping and testing elsewhere.
Why did the CDC edit all of that information out? Did the science change, or did the government make the edit for some other reason(s)?
There is no FDA-approved vaccine available for Ebola.

Doomsday warning: UN Ebola chief raises ‘nightmare’ prospect that virus could mutate and become airborne - making it much more infectious
United Nations warns Ebola virus currently plaguing West Africa could become airborne
The longer it moves between human hosts the greater possibility of mutation.
The risk grows the longer virus is living within the human ‘melting pot’ NGOs have said the Ebola virus is currently infecting five people every hour.
More than 3,300 people have died from Ebola since the outbreak first began.
Officials call for 1,000 new Sierra Leone isolation centers to contain virus British survivor says ‘horror’ of children dying from disease must be avoided.

From Pigs to Monkeys, Ebola Goes Airborne

Ebola has a 21 days incubation period before the infested person show symptoms. The CDC maintains that a person infested with Ebola cannot transmit it until they show symptoms of the disease. How can they assure that the person cannot infest another person after 10, 15, or 19 days of being infested by the virus while still not showing symptoms of the virus? The CDC falsely assure the American people that it cannot be transmitted by air although studies in Canada seems to prove otherwise.
When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air. The team, comprised of researchers from the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease, the University of Manitoba, and the Public Health Agency of Canada, observed transmission of Ebola from pigs to monkeys.
They first inoculated a number of piglets with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus. Ebola-Zaire is the deadliest strain, with mortality rates up to 90 percent. The piglets were then placed in a room with four cynomolgus macaques, a species of monkey commonly used in laboratories. The animals were separated by wire cages to prevent direct contact between the species. Within a few days, the inoculated piglets showed clinical signs of infection indicative of Ebola infection. What do these findings mean? That there is no assurance that Ebola cannot be transmitted by air.
Doctor Boards Atlanta Flight In HazMat Suit To Protest “Lying CDC”
Zero Hedge ^ | 10/2/14 | Tyler Durden
“If they’re not lying, they are grossly incompetent,” said Dr. Gil Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician from Springfield, Mo. as he checked in and cleared Atlanta airport security wearing a mask, goggles, gloves, boots and a hooded white jumpsuit emblazoned on the back with the words, “CDC is lying!” As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, Mobley says the CDC is “sugar-coating” the risk of the virus spreading in the United States.
PREVENTIVE MEDICINE EXPERT: OBAMA ‘UNDERLAYING’ EBOLA RISK. on Breitbart TV 2 Oct 2014
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2014/10/02/Preventive-Medicine-Expert-Obama-Underplaying-Ebola-Risk
Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet, a preventive medical specialist who practices in Texas and Arizona, who has served as Adjunct Associate Professor in Family Medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Assistant Professor in Family Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School, and Medical Director for the Women’s Program at Maryview Hospital accused the government of “underplaying the risk” of the Ebola virus, and seemed to argue that flights from countries with large Ebola outbreaks should not be allowed into the US on Thursday’s broadcast of “The Laura Ingraham Show.”
Dr. Vliet said that the government is not doing everything it could to protect Americans from the virus. Speaking on the prospect of a flight ban and the contention that only individuals who are showing symptoms of the virus can transmit it, she said “viruses mutate and change, and so to say anything with 100% certainty when you are dealing with viruses that change is medically irresponsible.” And that “no one can say with 100% certainty” when someone becomes infectious, and this is the reason why European nations have halted flights from countries like Liberia.
She further wondered why the American recently diagnosed with Ebola was not stopped, asking “why wasn’t he stopped at customs, why wasn’t he screened then, why wasn’t he quarantined as they’re doing in other countries?”
Dr. Vliet also declared that President Obama is “underplaying the risk to Americans, and I think when we have evidence going back to the Reston lab accident in Virginia a couple decades ago, of potential airborne transmission, the Canadian government has said that airborne transmission was strongly suspected [we should be more cautious].”
Maybe now we can see the purpose for which the vacant FEMA camps will be used.
Those poor SOB’s. I can’t believe they went in there.
More quality Obola leadership; no protocols, no warnings, no nothing..
Exactly.
We all knew Ebola would enter the US sooner or later. And watching local, state and federal officials react to it as if there were Keystone Cops would be rather amusing. If it weren’t so deadly.
And Pres. Obola has done NOTHING to stop this.
Hell, even Gov. Perry has called on the feds to act and Sen. Cruz has demanded the FAA stop allowing planes to and from Ebolaland.
The incompetence of our government(s) at all levels, especially federal; combined with the stupidity of most people will certainly guarantee the deaths of millions of people....
I knew we would be in DEEP trouble when I heard a CDC press conference and the head of the CDC said something to the affect of "the 0bama Administration is leaning forward on this". The guy actually used a PMSNBC/0bama propaganda slogan during a press conference regarding a DEADLY DISEASE!!!! When I heard that, I was just shocked, and DISTURBED! I knew they were all about politics first, but damn... One would think they would be able to separate that shit from their 'day jobs', especially with something as serious as this!
W - T - F?!?!?!?!!
“Lupe Valdez’, huh, figures.
What’s wrong with these people? Ebola is a not the FLU. It’s contagious and it can kill you. So far I’ve seen the CDC, medical professionals, and the average joe just shrug it off as a big spider that you can step on.
Why expose one person when you can expose seven! Monumental stupidity and incompetence. Sheriff Valdez should have done it done it herself IMO.
I like your second comment, how in the HELL can people be so S T U P I D.................?
SCHOOLING? PC at work, no one wants to be offensive to others?, May hurt their feelings, may get FIRED? All of the above?
What the hell, those infected people are being OFFENSIVE to us........
LORD, have Mercy on us all.
