Relatives of Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan who were put under observation by CDC after they visited him on the day he was taken to hospital are still waiting for an answer about what they should do 24 hours after they begged them for help.
Aaron Yah, 43, and wife Youngor Jallah, 35, yesterday told of their ordeal in isolation and revealed that they had not received direct orders to stay indoors.
Today MailOnline returned to the family's small apartment to find a family without answers, without power following violent electrical storms that brought down lines and running low on food, water and diapers for their youngest child.
Most troubling of all some family members are beginning to show cold-like symptoms.
Ms Jallah repeatedly wiped her eyes - which appeared sticky - with a paper towel while a child sneezed and coughed in the background. While it is unlikely to be related to the Ebola virus, they did not look as healthy as they did when MailOnline visited on Thursday.
Ms Jallah said: 'We asked the CDC last night if we have to stay indoors and they said they would come back to us overnight and tell us this morning.'
The CDC had been in contact with them over the last few says, checking their temperatures and blood pressures. But it was close to midday when Youngor spoke and the family was still waiting for officials to visit and answer their questions from Thursday.
The couple live in the home with their four children: three boys aged two, four and 11 and a daughter, aged six. She continued: 'Our phone is not working because of the storm. So we don't know.'

Every second case means over 100 more potential cases. Obola needs to be impeached for importing this killer virus to the nation!
Inadequate followup.
Abdication of responsibility.
OK, I hereby order you to stay indoors.
(I'm not making fun of these rightfully worried people who may have contracted a frighteningly deadly disease, rather I'm expressing my gratitude that we finally have competent leadership in the White House during a potentially devastating crisis. Wait, wut?)

Surprise surprise he likes Obola and michelle bola. And Joel Osteen.
The daughter is the one who called for an ambulance for Duncan. She gave the guy tea and wrapped him in a blanket. She had touched him after he was showing signs. Why she isn’t under a more strict quarantine is beyond me. CDC allegedly allowed her and her husband to go out grocery shopping before they were stuck in their apartment.
No one seems to be in charge of who’s doing what.

3 losers and 3 total frauds!
“No one seems to be in charge of who’s doing what”
At the White House Press Conf today I heard them say that the infrastucture is in place for an incident like this so not to worry — but if Dallas Health and CDC are not coordinating I will guess that “infrastructure” is all set up to blame each other isn’t it. These poor people.
I can’t believe what I am reading. The CDC are absolute idiots.

Well they just told us at the presser this afternoon that everything is under control. Don’t you trust the government? :-)
That family may suffer dearly. “Sticky eyes” doesn’t sound good, especially after she had said she realized Duncan was in trouble when she saw his red eyes, which are a well-known indicator of ebola...
I feel for her. She wanted to help. And she seemed like the only responsible person around. The CDC shouldn’t have let her and her husband go grocery shopping. They should have had somebody leave groceries at their door for them.
The idea that a family may need to “shelter in place” is much more real to me now than it’s ever been.
Anyone who trusts the federal government are idiots. Start making plans people. The federales will NOT help you
It is a complete frickin joke! and when they sent them they still had to permit to move transport the waste.
NO permit
