A health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital has tested positive for Ebola after a preliminary test, the hospital said in a statement.
Confirmatory testing will be conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

There's no Ebola in Sudan, and the kid is negative.
We're not doomed yet. Nigeria contained it after 20 cases. Senegal contained it after only one case. The Congo has it mostly contained, they hope, after 71 cases. Ebola can be contained with a proper medical response and good leadership from a country's president. Oops. We're doomed.
She married him. She deserves what she gets.
Indeed, BC&FS is in the process of dropping the "B" from its name. And, while it's a no-profit, it's not really a "charity" -- because over 90% of its income is the result of government grants.
So why did they start out as the Baptist Children & Family Services?
And now want to change their name just after receiving the $190 mill
And you tell me that 90% of their income is from the Government...that is paid by you and me as taxpayers.
sounds like the move Acorn made in changing their name.
So....how about Mr. Kevin Dinnin.
He’s the paid President and CEO of Baptist Child and Family Services Emergency Management Division (BCFS-EMD). We found him by backtracking the name of the principal officer posted on their 2012 tax filings.
Paid at an annual salary of $477,799+ I might add. Not a bad gig for himself and rest of the BCFS-EMD leadership and staff who pulled in, and paid $33,000,000 in wages for 2012.
That's a payroll of $33 MILLION in 2012.

“The immune systems of victims probably has a lot to do with who is most susceptible to the virus. Some have very weak immune systems and/or other health issues, others do not.”
Sure would be nice, but DON’T BET ON IT. The Spanish Flu was particularly nasty because it tended to kill people that were very healthy as their immune systems OVERREACTED, while actually sparing people with weak systems. This is from Wikipedia:
“The strong immune reactions of young adults ravaged the body, whereas the weaker immune systems of children and middle-aged adults resulted in fewer deaths among those groups.”
The flight ban is not going to happen with the people who are in charge. A 30-day quarantine is possible, and will save just as many American lives as a flight ban.
“I would figure that by December of 2015....most American schools will go through the Ebola ‘scare’, and shut down operations for three months minimum. How they arrange for the kid to get credit, or just dismiss school for 2015/2016...will be a big question mark. A lot of folks will go ballistic because they think it puts their kid behind a year.”
If I had young kids, I would SERIOUSLY consider getting some home schooling materials while they’re still available.
“Added to this...how does a university function, if it shuts down for four or five months due to Ebola? An NCAA football schedule completely cancelled? An NFL season cancelled? A TV series suspended because two of it’s main actors are in some quarantine?”
On this you are only skimming the surface. The REAL QUESTION is how will food and water be distributed to 330 Million people who are ORDERED to stay home under penalty of being shot on sight (320 Million of them unprepared and laughing at us now).
Yes - treated Duncan. What's not being reported is how many other patients this worker has been in contact with, not to mention the pyramid of other contacts who also contacted folks who also contacted folks...
They made some mush statement about how "they were aware of a possibility of a second case...doing everything to insure it doesn't spread", etc...
They are giving teeth to the lies that we really have nothing to worry about.
What worries me are the cubes. We’ve packed so many people in corporate offices without walls, they are prefect cantagious disease incubators.
Much better behind a year than on the wrong side of the grass.
How does Glenn Beck figure into this scam?
“Caution is not that hard. If somebody is diagnosed in my town, I’ll just avoid public gatherings and grocery shop somewhere else.”
Tol, you’re depending on timely disclosure. I think people better consider that once a certain number of Americans get the disease, regardless of where they live, the time to go grocery shopping (safely) is over, not to mention that there may not be many groceries left, as workers, say in chicken processing plants, decide enough is enough.
“You’d think this would be a headline on Drudge.”
He likes to sleep-in on weekends (he actually said so).
“I find it hard to believe this — or anything — will change the fundamental complacency of the American people”
It would have to be a scenario that impacted cell phones and television, then you would see unrest.
“Much better behind a year than on the wrong side of the grass.”
True...and probably better than spending a year in Common Core too. But I don’t want to go there on this thread.
“It would have to be a scenario that impacted cell phones and television, then you would see unrest.”
Americans will change, we’ve done it before. We’re just not there yet. Maybe, if one good thing comes out of Ebola, it will be that our oceans no longer protect us from the rest of the world. We certainly didn’t learn that from 9/11 though - but Ebola becomes much more personal as the country has to lock itself down.
That must be why we don't have a 30-day quarantine either.
She did care for Duncan. If she gets ZMapp and she’s white, there’s gonna be a civil war.
sadly, I agree. It’s teaching folks the wrong thing.....so you don’t hurt someones feelings?? He’s a sicko. Then he went home to his wife and children...
