A patient in Dallas, Texas has been confirmed by the U.S. Center for Disease Control as the first case of Ebola diagnosed on American soil, reports CNBC.
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital had confirmed earlier this week that they had isolated a patient in Dallas who had symptoms and travel history that suggested they could have been exposed to the Ebola virus in a statement, according to local Fox affiliate KDFW. They did not specify the gender of the patient or the specifics of that travel history, but confirmed that federal officials from the CDC were called in, and that results of testing would be expected around 3 PM Central Time on Tuesday.
CNBC confirms that the CDC has found the patient to test positive for the Ebola virus. This is the first case of the virus that has been diagnosed on U.S. soil, though American citizens who were diagnosed with the virus in west Africa have returned for medical attention to the continental United States and recovered.
ABC affiliate WFAA adds that the hospital has announced that the patient is being held in "strict isolation" and that officials believe there is little potential for an outbreak, given the advanced technology available on U.S. soil and the medical infrastructure already in place in a city like Dallas.
The news of an Ebola patient diagnosed on American soil for the first time follows tragic news from the World Health Organization that the rate at which individuals are contracting Ebola in west Africa appears to be accelerating....

And in this emergency situation the Secret Service moved 0bama to the nearest golf course as a safety measure.
The Center for Disease Transmission.
You misspelled bathhouse.
They say that one “or more” he was in contact will likely show up with the disease.
I’m kinda curious about the or more part.
Not to worry. We’ve sent the finest military in the world to shoot and kill those Ebolas.
I almost forgot the obligatory, "Bush did it too!".
Bush did it too!
If he snuck across the border many of us would like to personally thank Barack Obama, Luis Guitierrez, Jeb Bush and the US Chamber of Commerce for providing the incentive for this carrier to enter illegally and putting us all at risk.
Well thank God that we can all sleep well knowing that when thousands of Americans start dying by the day that at least the GOP stood up to the dems every day on TV shouting from the rooftops to take the Ebola thing seriously and tried to stop the madness.
Thank God they bravely and boldly stood on the House/senate floor chastising Obama and the Democrats and the Dems for his/their playing politics inaction and in fact open invitation to bring the deadliest plague possible on America.
Yup. thank God they are better than the Dems. Now go vote GOP no matter what.
Oh wait...
AND wants the best medical care in the world - FOR FREE
- can hop on a plane and come to the land of the fools and home of the idiots.
As I read stories like this I am reminded of the GW elites that want 90% of the world population to be removed to save the planet. I have to wonder with so many greenie weenies in the government that they are purposely exposing healthy populations to third world diseases.
*FIST BUMP TIME!*
"Joe, did you hear the news? We did it! The plague is happening!
“Bush did it too!”
What is it he did in this context?
He flew in from Liberia and his family lives here, so he’s probably here legally, although I would guess he’s foreign born.
Why in the world are we still admitting flights from Liberia?
Anything. Whatever Obama does, according to a lot of people, Bush did it first and that’s why Obama did it. I know it’s a crazy way of thinking but that’s what is going around and I’m getting tired of that BS.
Because to restrict flights from Liberia and not white and asian countries would be discriminatory. Profiling, even.
Wait until this makes it into the schools!
Kart, can we get a courtesy prepped thread regrading some Ebola basics?
