Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas is carefully evaluating a patient who may have Ebola Virus Disease. Based on the patient’s symptoms and recent travel history, the patient has been admitted into “strict isolation,” said spokeswoman Candace White in a prepared statement. Preliminary test results are expected Tuesday. The hospital is following Centers for Disease Control and Texas Department of Heath recommendations to ensure the safety of patients, staff, volunteers, physicians and visitors, White said. In August, Dr. Kent Brantly, a Fort Worth doctor who contracted Ebola while working as an aid worker in Africa,

I think I see the problem.
Thanks, Obama voters!
Ping, related to earlier ping...for the E thread.
It’s one thing when this is half a world away. It’s quite another when it is now in your own backyard. Why was this person not in quarantine? BEFORE he/she began exhibiting signs of sickness? It was known this person had recently travelled from Africa.
There is a quarantine center in Dallas, I wonder if this hospital is it?

There might be some logistical and legal issues with putting every who visits Africa in quarantine.

It will need to be done before all this is over. That and suspending all travel to Africa. Want to visit family? Skype instead.
They were likely put in a respiratory isolation room. Supposedly the filtration system is isolated to that room only and is somewhat low pressure compared to the rest of the hospital so that when the door is opened, air comes into the room.
That is how it was explained to me.
Why was this person not in quarantine?”
Why was this person even allowed back in the U.S. without a completely clean health record. We have all this crap coming across the border into Texas and now we have an Ebola threat in Dallas. Good grief.
Take two aspirin and call me in the morning. Ebola is no more dangerous than a hang nail.
Dallas? He probably has ebola menudo. Some bed rest and abstention from adult beverages for awhile and he might improve.

Surely you jest. This is the One’s Regime. Stroke of the pen - law of the land.
The story from a non-blog, local news outlet. If the patient has Ebola, the search for previous human contact(s) with that person after arrival in the U.S. from Africa will be on.
