I am imagining Obama eulogizing at a funeral with a large number of caskets, trying to comfort the nation in his job at president, with everyone in the country fully aware that this funeral and the others like it were 100% preventable by him.
Yikes!
excuse my language, but how in the **** are the hospital personnel contracting this while supposedly in protective gear but Duncan’s family is not infected while interacting unprotected with his bodily fluids????
Hopefully this was from the first visit where Ebola was not considered and no isolation techniques were used. However, either way this will have a chilling effect on those of us on the front lines......
I agree, the family will soon show up with symptoms or the government is lying. I dont see any other way around it.
I wonder if this was the intake nurse? or?
Are the Duncan relatives being blood-tested? They should be showing symptoms soon.

so now its been a week or more since he had been admitted. Will they have to monitor another 100 people? more? She go to a movie or get on a bus? Are we up to 500 yet?
This is what you get with the ideology driven commie-crats in control of the levers of power.
Texas DSHS press release on the new ebola patient: https://www.dshs.state.tx.us/news/releases/20141012.aspx
Just this morning, another little child died from the enterovirus.
Obama is responsible for all of the misery and death befalling America.

Interesting...
“Although coughing and sneezing are not common symptoms of Ebola, if a symptomatic patient with Ebola coughs or sneezes on someone, and saliva or mucus come into contact with that person’s eyes, nose or mouth, these fluids may transmit the disease.”
“Ebola on dried on surfaces such as doorknobs and countertops can survive for several hours; however, virus in body fluids (such as blood) can survive up to several days at room temperature.”
Yeah - one cannot say with 100% Accuracy that particles with Ebola don’t float in the air and ingested through normal breathing - even though there is not blood splatter being spewed out...this virus is crazy dangerous!
The story (was only a headline banner before) is up now at CNN.com: http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/12/health/ebola/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
It think given the paranoia over the possible spread of the Ebola virus outside of western Africa, this may finally force the Obama Administration to ban anyone coming from western Africa entering the USA unless the person has clear medical proof of being free from the disease. I’m sure they’re already doing that in much of Europe by now.
Unreal. Say what you will about 9/11, but it didn’t wake up this country one bit. That was Phase 1, we needed two more phases (or World Trade Center magnitude hits, in that case), and still haven’t gotten them.
With Ebola, it seems that the phases will be something like the following, as America discovers that big oceans don’t help when you have open borders:
Phase 1) OMG, you mean it’s able to infect people even when they’re outside of Africa? We’re safe.
Phase 2) OMG, you mean that it can be spread in America and that it doesn’t just affect those “black people” with strong accents? We’re safe, because I trust the president.
Phase 3) OMG, our government doesn’t know jack about how to deal with it and was TOTALLY UNPREPARED (as Ebola spreads here, pretty much unchecked)? Crap, DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING, to stop this!
We’re just entering Phase 2 now. If we don’t take some really strong action now, this country will be COMPLETELY LOCKED DOWN as we get into Phase 3.
So does this mean that the healthcare workers that had contact with Duncan during his two visits are not on the “contact list”.
news conference at 7:30 a.m. Sunday. This is from the Dallas Morning News, so I assume it is CDT (in about an hour from now)
But our healthcare system makes Ebola magically less lethal and less contagious by virtue of not being in Africa.
Obama owns this mess.
Any rational person stops flights for a disease with no cure and (up to) a 21 day incubation period.
