Update at 2:11 p.m.: The patient, dressed in shorts and wearing a surgical mask and a plastic head covering, just walked out of the facility and into the ambulance, which had been covered in plastic. That patient will be transported to Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, where Thomas Eric Duncan was hospitalized.
We are working to determine if this person is among the 48 people the Centers for Disease Control is monitoring. So far there has been no comment from the CDC, which already had a 3 p.m. press conference scheduled.
Update at 2 p.m.: Frisco paramedics, dressed in protective gear, are preparing to transport the patient to a hospital. It’s unclear which one.

Aids can’t be transmitted by someone infected with it just touching your dog.
Which later licks your child.
Who passes it on to you as you hold your child.
There is a difference in communicability.
“Cornyn said that would be unfair to Africans.”
Not that I wish to be “unfair” to or deprive needy people, except those who are killing, pillaging, raping, robbing, enslaving and beheading other people, AMERICA FIRST.
Not CA...Texas.
The answer is obviously negatory.
I wish I could remember their screen names so I could ping them.
Yes. I’m sure Obama and the CDC are watching this ambulance rush to the hospital (aerial view - live).
Correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve just read a couple of the articles and am a little confused.
So this man, who knew he had had contact with Duncan, has “signs of Ebola” and goes to an Urgent Care????
Those poor folks in the Urgent Care, or the employees themselves, but I imagine once they saw the paper he filled out they called 911 immediately without examining him.
Why would he go to an Urgent Care and not to a hospital? Maybe they need to start broadcasting “If you have signs of Ebola...go to the hospital.”
“Hiv can take years, decades and you really need to have sex with someone to get it and for it to kill you, this Ebola thing you can get from just touching and get mucus or fluid on the skin and can kill you in weeks...you figure it out”
You can be unlucky enough to push open the same convience stores door as the new ebola patint did a half hour before you.
Why did this guy travel all the way from Dallas to Frisco to infect the Care Now waiting room patients and staff?
Is it because Frisco is affluent, White and Republican?
That freaked me out, I thought that was Jerry Garcia for a second there...
If this constitutes "work" then we're ALL in trouble!
ALL: Update at 2:49 p.m.: According to the license plates on the vehicle cordoned off in the CareNow parking lot, the vehicle is registered to a Dallas County Sheriff’s Deputy — a deputy who went into Thomas Eric Duncan’s apartment last week, according to a story that appeared on WFAA’s website earlier this week.
This man is a deputy sheriff, who initially went inside ebola patient’s apartment to serve notice.
See Comment #33.
No way!! That is horrible. And a verrry bad development.
oh crap, if he’s the patient, god knows how many people he’s had ocntact with this week.
You don't have to unknowingly and involuntarily expose yourself to AIDS (for the most part). And most (not all of course) of the people who get AIDS now are themselves essentially responsible for getting it.
However, IMO we should still involuntarily quarantine *anyone* with HIV who has deliberately exposed other partners to the disease. In the cases of these sickos that try to infect as many people as they can, they should be permanently removed from the equation.
Yep, and the lunar eclipse this morning was also interesting. I like interesting things, don't you?
AIDS is pretty much checked. It resides among Queers and druggies. That is, the virus discriminates and attacks the vulnerable..... queers and druggies
