A possible second Ebola patient is being monitored closely in Dallas after close contact with a man who is now hospitalized after being diagnosed with the deadly viral disease, Dallas County Health and Human Services Director Zachary Thompson told a local television station Wednesday. "Let me be real frank to the Dallas County residents, the fact that we have one confirmed case, there may be another case that is a close associate with this particular patient," Thompson told Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA. "So this is real. There should be a concern, but it's contained to the specific family members and close friends at this moment."

Which doubles the number of people potentially exposed.

Students in contact w/Dallas Ebola patient attended:
Tasby, Conrad, Hotchkiss, Jack Lowe, Dandy Rogers

So a virulent disease made it overseas, huh?
That wouldn't be from an endless stream of jetliners recklessly flying BACK AND FORTH now, would it?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Good Lord.

[Diogenesis]

Like EV-D68, also brought to America, by
Obola-the-Moslem and his EXEMPT Congress,
this is NOTHING but bioWarfare against the American people.

About a month ago myself and some Freepers tried to predict when the first Ebola patient would show up in the US in accordance with Obamas war against the US. Some said 2 weeks, a few months, I said 3 months, one guy said a month. We have a winner! OK now let’s predict when it starts showing up in cities across the US in accordance with Obamas war against the US. I’ll say this week, maybe two weeks at most.

Well, the guy had contact with five kids who went to four different schools, so the potential exposure is already pretty high.

Family reunion?

Big Drudge headline.

How long before we see demands to quarantine Texas?

[alloysteel]

Could be HUNDREDS of walking time bombs, ticking.

This is SO much better than bomb vests.

(Do I HAVE to supply the < /sarcasm > tag?)

When the ambulance drivers picked up the patient, he was throwing up. That means he was throwing up around all the people he was around before he was taken back to the hospital, including a bunch of kids, who then went to school.

[Blue Highway]

What I am wondering why no one bothered to ask why this guy that doesn’t even live in the states would be around 4 children. They went to 4 different schools so where did he meet them?

They just said on the news that it was children that lived in the neighboring apartments. Not relatives.

Miles: 5 DISD students possibly exposed to Ebola

Five children from four DISD campuses were possibly exposed to the virus. Miles said none of the students have exhibited any symptoms of Ebola at this time.

Any normal leaders on earth would have seled off Africa and cancelled all flights out until this horrific disease was suppressed.

Instead, lucky us, we have all of our “leaders” sitting on their thumbs while our borders are wide open. They are beneath contempt.

[Myrddin]

Average incubation time is 5.5 days. Range 2 to 21 days. Until the potentially exposed get past 21 days, it is premature to claim no probĺem exists.

And dogs, too, maybe. Dogs really go for that stuff.

"An important caveat is, while dogs are able to contract Ebola, they do so asymptomatically. That means, while they can be a carrier of Ebola, they won’t present any of the signs and will therefore remain unaffected by the condition... The fact that they can be a carrier, however, means that they are able to pass the virus on to us, which could present a problem."
