Dallas County sheriff's deputy who went to Duncan's apt is rushed to hospital w/ Ebola symptoms
The Daily Mail ^ | By Louise Boyle

Posted on 10/08/2014 1:27:15 PM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

The second man with Ebola symptoms is reportedly a Dallas County sheriff's deputy who visited the apartment of first patient Thomas Duncan.

The individual, who has not been named, walked into a clinic in Frisco, Texas on Wednesday and told medics he had been in contact with first victim Mr Duncan and had not been wearing protective clothing.

The CareNow clinic was immediately placed in lock-down after the person appeared on Wednesday and was exhibiting signs of the deadly virus.

The CDC told MailOnline today that the person is not one of the 48 contacts being monitored, and there is no indication of any direct contact with the initial patient, Mr Duncan.

Fire-Rescue have been training for several weeks for ebola? What just in Frisco county? But wait wasn’t this idiot Duncan just admitted less than ten days ago and the vomit was on the sidewalk for three or four days. WTF? Something not smelling right now.

None fit to share in public!???

I think we all have those same thoughts, mine are, and I am thinking of that Son of A Bitch in the White House and all his court.

Bastard in Chief is a correct title.....

I’m guessing that Democrat Judge who went to the apartment for a photo op stunt is at pucker factor 1000 right now

July 13, 2014 - At some political risk, Dallas County judge sticks by Obama

".....The relationship between [Judge] Jenkins and Obama dates to before either was in his current office. In June 2007, Jenkins donated $1,000 to Obama’s first presidential campaign, according to federal election records. Back then, Jenkins was a practicing lawyer. Obama was a freshman U.S. senator and an underdog candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

A mutual friend, former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, asked Jenkins to do some pro bono legal work for the Obama campaign, and Jenkins agreed.

“To be honest, I didn’t think he could win ... but I thought it would be fun,” Jenkins said.

Three years later, Jenkins was in his first term as the top elected official in Dallas County and decided that he needed the White House’s help. He reached out to the administration after receiving word that the U.S. Postal Service planned to close a mail processing center in Dallas. When the decision was reversed, Jenkins got to make the public announcement.

In September 2013, the county joined a lawsuit brought by Obama’s Justice Department challenging the Texas voter identification law. Democrats have said the law is likely to discourage voting among several groups that tend to vote Democratic. Jenkins also became one of the leading local advocates for the Affordable Care Act. He and other county employees spread the word about health insurance exchanges and helped residents fill out applications. Meanwhile, he pushed for state legislators to accept funds to expand Medicaid.

His efforts earned him praise from the president. In a November 2013 speech in Dallas, Obama called Jenkins an “outstanding county judge ... who’s doing a great job on affordable care.” The quote is prominently displayed on Jenkins’ campaign website..........

.......Last week, Obama included Jenkins among the elected officials and religious leaders with whom he met in Dallas to discuss border issues. In photographs of the meeting, Jenkins was seated in a prime position — at the middle of the table, right across from Obama....." Post 39

I wouldn’t put too much into several weeks, they probably handed out pamphlets to read a month ago and tried on the suits last week. This looks an awful lot like a false alarm. The people to watch are the close contacts and they are not out of the woods for a couple more days.

Isn’t this about what that idiot judge did?

Good question.

"Last week, [Judge] Jenkins helped those people move from the Dallas apartment where patient Thomas Duncan was staying."

Good luck finding deputies to serve future quarantine orders.

Exactly. people are still making political calculations like it’s a football game. We are in a whole other dimension now, and the Rs aren’t on “our side” anyway. Just wait to see if this ebola thing starts to become widespread, how fast they’ll leave us to our own devices.

If the deputy has Ebola, he would not be thinking clearly. First symptom is a massive headache as the Ebola flows into the brain via the blood stream.

Great thought. You best believe if I got it, I’d do everything in my power to get to DC and spit in the face of everyone of the bastards I could get access to.

One comment there was about money. Wonder if money could carry Ebola. This guy I pray doesn’t have it. But if he does, and he wasn’t exposed to fluids... It’s more contagious. Maybe he touched the door when he put the quarantine sign on and that was enough.

Yes actually Mr. GG2 and I were talking about it at dinner. The Deputy could have handed Duncan’s girlfriend the warrant and a pen to sign and then taken the pen back from her or also put his hand on the door knob or touched some other surface. So maybe not airborne but who knows?

I don’t think there is any evidence. But if you can just walk in the door of a place where someone had Ebola then you have to consider that there is a chance its floating arouon in the air. Or maybe you just touched a door knob or a counter top where there were some germs.

Here’s another one that doesn’t seem to be getting any coverage, but if this guy was taken sick from, essentially, a homeless center, he’s probably infected some others (who may be hard to track) in NYC as well:

I’m giving it another 21 days - that’s when the picture will be clear.... for now I’m erring on the side it’ll be worse than people think.

Yep, mrsmel.

It really seem to me that people in this country stopped living in reality some time ago, and I mean people on our side too.

It’s like the only thing that matters is this pointless tug of war between two supposed sides of the same government, which is an absolute charade.

And all the while we are focused on that, the government, both “sides” of it, is absolutely screwing us to the wall.

“The Stand” is a mid-80s Stephen King novel. It was made into a better than expected made-for-TV miniseries.

The disease that is central to the story is a military bioweapon that gets out accidentally. I don’t think this Ebola outbreak is a bioweapon, but the readiness with which it spreads is reminiscent of the disease in the book.
