DALLAS -- Dallas County's top public health epidemiologist is among those potentially exposed to Ebola after she spent time at patient Thomas Eric Duncan's bedside the day he was diagnosed with the virus.

Dr. Wendy Chung has remained on the front lines of the government's response to the outbreak since Duncan's diagnosis. She's worked alongside federal, state and local health authorities as she undergoes monitoring for any signs of the disease.

I think she’s from the Akron area.
Here’s some local news from the Akron paper:

Dr. Thomas Frieden, who heads the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said he remains confident in the ability of the U.S. health care system to fight Ebola.

I remain confident in Typhoid Frieden's ability to remain full of $hit...until he catches Obola, err, Ebola.

I can't believe that even Obola hasn't gotten rid of this jerk yet, because he's making Obola look even more detached, vapid and anti-American than usual.

What happens if those 4,000 troops come down with ebola and die? It’s a communicable disease and appears to be easier to catch then the “experts” know.

I just heard them say you could probably come down with it past the 21 days. Truth is they don't really know.

Look at it from Muzzie Eboma’s point of view. #1 allegiance is to Mohammed and the establishment of the Caliphate in the Middle East.. This Ebola thing in America is nothing more than something to distract the American media with while the REALLY bad disease called ISIS consumes the ME.

This will go into the Strange Annals of Medicine, to be sure, unless some funny business was going on as you suggest.

I'm kind of mathematically inclined. I saw a probability distribution of onset versus time. Maybe it's inaccurate, but it looked like 85 to 90% (not 99!) of the infections occurred before 21 days, with most between 10 and 15 days.

They seem to have just dropped off the face of the earth after they were whisked off to a supposed private house somewhere.

It is hard to believe that none of them have come down with it if they were for real.

You appear to be not at all familiar with Ebola's actual transmission patterns. Hammering studs and pulling cable a couple of miles away from the nearest Ebola patient is not likely to expose one to infection. It is possible that a small number of troops will be involved in actual patient contact, in which case they could become infected if protocol breached or protective equipment fails.

If they are sick, you can be damn sure they won’t tell us.

What you said! Unless they do have some kind of immunity being from the region. Either way, they were "hidden" away for some reason. Was it because they were sick or because they were not sick?
