Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins alerted the news media Sunday morning that one of the 46 people believed to have contact with to Ebola patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, appears to be missing.
“We are working to find a low-risk individual who has been identified by our local team as a contact. We have our Dallas County Sheriff’s Department and Dallas Police Department teams on the ground,” Jenkins said in a statement released by his office at 10:30 a.m.
The person was not identified.
“We are working to locate the individual and get him to a comfortable, compassionate place where we can monitor him and care for his every need for the full incubation period, he said.

Infowars is reporting he rode in the ambulance with Duncan. WTF? If this is true, he is NOT low risk.
“Police in Dallas are searching for a homeless man who rode in an ambulance with Thomas Eric Duncan, the Ebola patient currently in critical condition at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.”

Wouldn't they already have it, or not have it?
Are you saying that someone is at risk of being infected even a week after contact?
“comfortable, compassionate place”
Here’s a teddybear and a lollipop
And each one of them will infect hundreds more...And each one of them will..........
Interesting that we don’t see Jesse and Al marching with Liberians.
I doubt any cop will want to “apprehend” him once they find him. I can see cop cars surrounding the guy while they wait on the hazmat team. Even though he has no symptoms and obviously is not infected. /s
Seriously, I would like to know what the instructions are for the cops who locate him.
He must be hiding.Some homeless like it that way.Why was he in the ambulance.
If they are infected and incubating they can incubate up to 21 days, but after day 6 their probability of having been infected in the first place goes down. Next Sunday after two weeks post-exposure, they could still be incubating, but their probability that they got infected is very low.
Once incubation is done, if you are infected, you get the disease. When you get the disease you rapidly die or rapidly recover in about a week to 10 days. By disease I mean the ebola virus has spread throughout the body and you get symptoms like headache, abdominal pain, fever, etc.
So we look for the fever and the symptoms in all these people and if they don't have them today, they are over the hump, if they don't have them next Sunday they are almost in the clear and they are in the clear the Sunday after that. I suppose there is also a small chance of incubation that lasts longer than three weeks. Also there is a small unknown chance of infection after last Sunday considering how badly the cleanup was handled.
Of he’s “homeless,” he’s the perfect carrier. Probably in poor health himself, living in abysmal sanitary and other conditions, and in close contact with others of his ilk.
If this guy is so “Low risk” they wouldn’t even bother looking for him. Everyone who gets exposed to the flu is considered “Low Risk” they are not telling the truth..the CDC, like Obama, wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them in the ass
Of course the ambulance company did not follow those guidelines until a couple hours too late, so some people got maybe a medium risk instead of a very low risk. My guess is the homeless guy is a very low risk compared to the family members. If the family members go another week without the disease then the homeless will be fine also.
“...the man, who may be homeless, was in the ambulance that took Duncan...”
The man was just looking for a ride downtown.
“Yo dude, you going downtown? Mind if I catch a ride?”
“Sure. Hop in...”
So what are you saying?
What you said earlier, up thread, that you can still be infected long after you are no longer in contact with someone who has it?
HIV and EBOLA: How Political Correctness Will Get You Killed!
The ongoing – and expanding –Ebola situation and how it’s being handled (or, more accurately, NOT being handled) has a parallel with the HIV panic of a number of years ago.
It may ALSO be another manifestation of the schizophrenic nature of the hard leftists who unfortunately sit at the levers of power in this country and whose double-mindedness should now be clear to all but the dullest among us.
Allow me to explain.
A San Francisco (where else?) based and HIV infected “leader”of the homosexual community began a serious campaign encouraging fellow HIV carriers to attempt to bypass or defeat the donor screening process and actively donate into the national blood supply. When pressed as to his justification for jeopardizing the entire nation, he declared that if HIV spread out into the “straight” community, it would almost certainly catalyze and accelerate the search for a vaccine.
Am I the only “conspiracy buff” to see the similarities between that and what’s going on today vis-a-vis Ebola?
I hadn’t thought about this angle until I heard Rush recently ranting about some author who’d written that because Liberia was founded by former slaves who returned to Africa, it was our unfortunate institution of slavery that is directly responsible for Ebola in the western nations of Africa. (Please note that I stop FAR short of the recent utterances of Calypso Louie Farrakan who claims that Ebola was created by evil white men to kill blacks!)
But I digress. That reasoning that America is responsible for Ebola – if it can be called “reasoning” – holds that it is America’s place to come to their rescue with a “cure”. And how better to “catalyze and accelerate” that process than to INFECT as many native born Americans HERE with the disease as possible?
Now here’s where the schizophrenia comes into the picture:
There is a growing group of folks who believe that the earth cannot support the current population approaching 7.3 billion. The bulk of them are in the same leftist camp as those now directing the present halfhearted “effort” against Ebola. Many of them are one and the SAME people directing the Ebola thing! The most radical of them embrace the words of a speaker at an early green movement/save-the-earth rally in California. Odd coincidence that, aye? He declared that “Man is the ultimate DISEASE of nature.” He got a standing O for that line!
From that meeting and others still being conducted, the greenies now believe that the 7.3 billion MUST be reduced to around 1 billion or less. And which members of which nations, ethnic groups or races are “eliminated” is irrelevant – so long as THEY are excluded!
Scriptures informs us that “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” The writer must have known a fair number of the leftists of his day.
Back to my question.
If, on one hand, the leftists are sincere in their effort to SAVE THE EARTH from overpopulation, why would they attempt to save the victims of Ebola and allow them to come here?
Could it be that allowing them to come here with the disease (and sending 3,000 potential military carriers THERE to bring it back with them) while portraying these actions to the noinfo masses as the compassionate thing to do is part of the same scheme attempted earlier by the HIV crowd?
I suggest that we prepare ourselves for the spread of the this 60% to 90% fatal disease among the population of this nation. (This may have been the reason for the Homeland Security “drills” about some “zombie apocalypse”.) This IS, after all, the same America that is hated by Obama and the One World leftists now in control here as the source of every evil committed in the rest of the world and for which evils it must be properly punished?
Do I really think these miscreants – living in their sanitized and safe gated “compounds” — would do that?
After witnessing 6 years of this gang’s criminal behavior, I absolutely think that!
If you read at the link, the man rode in the ambulance after Duncan was in it. He did not ride in the ambulance with Duncan.
There are two stages of infection, the first is incubation which lasts up to 21 days but is most likely to be 5-6 days. The second stage is diseased with symptoms starting like flu but quickly progressing to severe symptoms due to spreading throughout the blood stream.
The timeline in this case is that the contact with Duncan occurred last Sunday, so his primary contacts are now at day 7 with 14 more to go until their likelihood of getting the disease is almost zero. For the homeless guy the potential contact was on Sunday as well due to viruses Duncan might have left behind in the ambulance before they cleaned it. The homeless guy is on the same timetable as Duncan's girlfriend, family and the other people living in that apartment. When they are clear, the homeless guy is clear.
According to your statement in post 14, the one I asked about earlier, if I come in contact with an Ebola patient, and don’t get infected (which, of course won’t be known until after the incubation period) I can still become infected later.
How does that work?
By way of real life example, if this homeless man was NOT infected while he was in the ambulance (which won’t be known until after the end of the incubation period) He can still come down with Ebola?
At least that’s what you said in post 14.
I don’t understand how that part of Ebola works.

Authorities in Dallas are trying to locate a homeless person who might have had contact with the lone Ebola patient diagnosed in the U.S. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3211612/posts
Is this satire?
In the event that it's not, the Judge really should sequester himself, after escorting Duncan's roommates out of that horrible apartment in nothing but civilian clothes.
Hypocrite, thy name is Nancy.
