CDC Confirms Texas Patient is First Case of Ebola Diagnosed in the United States

A patient in Dallas, Texas has been confirmed by the U.S. Center for Disease Control as the first case of Ebola diagnosed on American soil, reports CNBC.

Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital had confirmed earlier this week that they had isolated a patient in Dallas who had symptoms and travel history that suggested they could have been exposed to the Ebola virus in a statement, according to local Fox affiliate KDFW. They did not specify the gender of the patient or the specifics of that travel history, but confirmed that federal officials from the CDC were called in, and that results of testing would be expected around 3 PM Central Time on Tuesday.

CNBC confirms that the CDC has found the patient to test positive for the Ebola virus. This is the first case of the virus that has been diagnosed on U.S. soil, though American citizens who were diagnosed with the virus in west Africa have returned for medical attention to the continental United States and recovered.

ABC affiliate WFAA adds that the hospital has announced that the patient is being held in "strict isolation" and that officials believe there is little potential for an outbreak, given the advanced technology available on U.S. soil and the medical infrastructure already in place in a city like Dallas.

The news of an Ebola patient diagnosed on American soil for the first time follows tragic news from the World Health Organization that the rate at which individuals are contracting Ebola in west Africa appears to be accelerating....

They could at least tell us what flights this person was on. I flew from DFW-ATL and back that weekend. Always a packed flight.

And, there had to be an update to the Executive Order for quarantine!

Unlike Emory, Presbyterian Dallas isn’t really set up to deal with situations like this (in fact, they are best known in the community for giving staph infections to surgery patients (unlike Baylor, which infected some folks with rabies a few years ago)).

Details, please?

...'specially on that "rabies" part.

NO cheers, unfortunately.

Why does the CDC own a patent on Ebola ‘invention?’

I was in a horse group that is doing the same thing now. They used to be inclusive working with all groups to keep trails open. The group has been taken over by that same mentality of close off all others except themselves by backing the closing of Forest Service roads. Sierra club foot prints there too.

They stopped sending me membership renewals when I voiced opposition to the closures. Years before I remember another person removed from the membership because of voicing opposition to government closures of BLM & Forest Service lands. We were both officers of the organization at one time. Lots of volunteer hours etc.

Same song, different dance. And people never learn. Infiltration is the hallmark of the leftists. It’s what they do and why they win.

And people just go along so as not to offend. That was why I stopped. Got sick of fighting my own team.

Headlights on full-beam, should the Exempt Ones try and pull a future mandatory experimental vaccine stunt.

Thanks for the info. Good to know he wasn’t at the Atlanta airport when I was there that same weekend.

Dandiegirl, please take everything am typing with a huge grain of salt. Nothing is confirmed. Most of my typing is coming from other posts and some news reports. Once more, nothing is confirmed. Confirmation information is being denied, in a manner of speaking by the powers that be, as best as can tell. Once more, Huge Grain of Salt time, please.
