DALLAS -- Health officials say the family of a Liberian man diagnosed with Ebola while visiting them in Dallas left their home, and that's why a "control order" was put in place to keep them inside.

Family members of Thomas Eric Duncan were ordered Wednesday night to stay home or face criminal charges. Four to five people, who are not showing symptoms of the deadly disease at this time, were put under the quarantine by Texas health officials.

The group is not allowed to leave their home in Dallas and cannot visit with anyone outside the home, the State Health Department said on Thursday.

Could they just be following orders?

One hypothesis is that THIS disease was sent here
by THIS pRes_ _ent, just like EV-68.

Did anyone clean up the area outside of the apartment where Duncan vomited?

The government allows the ebola to come here, then they allow the infected family to roam around, then they “order” them to stay inside... What incompetents. Maybe they should quarantine the family in a secure site. Maybe they should disinfect their apartment. Maybe they should deport these illegals immediately. Maybe this is all intentional. Maybe the Clown Prince nobama administration hates American Citizens.

I still think they should go NOW. By the time they get there in 2 or 3 weeks, this would have died down one way or another.

PS: I hope you know I am being sarcastic.

Why, oh why, are they allowed to be in a multi unit apartment building under quarantine?

This family is doomed. The only question is "when" each will develop symptoms and then go rapidly down hill. They lived in close proximity with Duncan for days.

Where are they going to take them for care? Will it be Texas Presbyterian? Will that be the new "Ebola hospital"?

I'll bet these are illegal immigrants, probably overstayed on visas. Who is going to pay for the expensive treatment? I just knew you knew!

This is just the beginning...

it is very likely they are illegal aliens already:

Liberians are number 5 on the list of highest per capita incidence of visa overstay in the USA.

if we were a normal country we would simply deport them not even waiting to test them.

We are dying —literally— to tolerate people.

ENOUGH.

Has anyone reported on whether these people speak or understand English? One of the earlier reports said that the area of Dallas they are in speaks 33 different languages.

Surely there’s a SWAT team available.

Nah, all of those SWAT teams are for Tea Partiers, Gun Owners, and other assorted Whitey.

They should do all that. Evacuate the family to a holding area. Decon the apartment and building. And most definitely deport illegals.

I fully expect a civil rights complaint of some kind, but seeing that they are from Liberia, they may not want to stir up any trouble..................

They live in some turd-world craphole and get Ebola, they hop a plane to America for free healthcare.

This is going to start a trend unless we cut all travel to/from Africa.

From Pigs to Monkeys, Ebola Goes Airborne

Nov 21, 2012 | Jane Huston | Research & Policy –

http://healthmap.org/site/diseasedaily/article/pigs-monkeys-ebola-goes-airborne-112112#sthash.srRHtwa1.dpuf

The Ebola has a 21 days incubation period before the infested person show symptoms. The CDC maintains that a person infested with Ebola cannot transmit it until they show symptoms of the disease. How can they assure that the person cannot infest another person after 10, 15, or 19 days of being infested by the virus while still not showing symptoms of the virus? The CDC falsely assure the American people that it cannot be transmitted by air although studies in Canada seems to prove otherwise.

When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air. The team, comprised of researchers from the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease, the University of Manitoba, and the Public Health Agency of Canada, observed transmission of Ebola from pigs to monkeys.

They first inoculated a number of piglets with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus. Ebola-Zaire is the deadliest strain, with mortality rates up to 90 percent. The piglets were then placed in a room with four cynomolgus macaques, a species of monkey commonly used in laboratories. The animals were separated by wire cages to prevent direct contact between the species. Within a few days, the inoculated piglets showed clinical signs of infection indicative of Ebola infection.

In pigs, Ebola generally causes respiratory illness and increased temperature. Nine days after infection, all piglets appeared to have recovered from the disease. Within eight days of exposure, two of the four monkeys showed signs of Ebola infection. Four days later, the remaining two monkeys were sick too. It is possible that the first two monkeys infected the other two, but transmission between non-human primates has never before been observed in a lab setting.

While the study provided evidence that transmission of Ebola between species is possible, researchers still cannot say for certain how that transmission actually occurred. There are three likely candidates for the route of transmission: airborne, droplet, or fomites.

Airborne and droplet transmission both technically travel through the air to infect others; the difference lies in the size of the infective particles. Smaller droplets persist in the air longer and are able to travel farther- these droplets are truly “airborne.” Larger droplets can neither travel as far nor persist for very long.

What do these findings mean? First and foremost, Ebola is not suddenly an airborne disease.

Doctor Boards Atlanta Flight In HazMat Suit To Protest "Lying CDC"

Zero Hedge ^ | 10/2/14 | Tyler Durden

"If they're not lying, they are grossly incompetent," said Dr. Gil Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician from Springfield, Mo. as he checked in and cleared Atlanta airport security wearing a mask, goggles, gloves, boots and a hooded white jumpsuit emblazoned on the back with the words, "CDC is lying!" As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, Mobley says the CDC is "sugar-coating" the risk of the virus spreading in the United States.
