The potential Ebola patient's test results are not in yet, but are expected later Tuesday afternoon or Tuesday evening. CDC personnel are on their way to Dallas in case either of the two samples from the patient being screened are positive for Ebola. If the test was to come back positive, the CDC would lead any actions necessary, with the county providing support, Thompson said.

This is not going to turn out well.
“First I have heard of CDC sending personnel BEFORE results are in. I would hate to think the CDC is already starting to shade the truth about Ebola in the US.”
I had the same thought. Actually, DAMAGE CONTROL and CONCEALMENT were the things that ran through my mind.
First TX case.. we had speculated earlier pop-ups due to oil&gas.....
This will cause panic as we have never seen before. Can anyone say Martial Law?
They know the results sounds pre-emptive to me.
He just got back from ?Liberia?.. sounds like they’re moving in the vectoring team, find all the flight mates...
You're kidding, right? Do you seriously think they'll tell us about Ebola in the US unless the ptb are pretty sure it's starting to spread?
APT makes masks to wear when spread of disease is a threat. Their stock is way up.
Or they are just being very cautious. Depending on the exposure of the person involved, he may have been in first person contact with an Ebola case.
Even if the results are negative, it is a good idea to get a jump on the vectoring.
As I have said here before, for most in power the quarantine will be worse than the disease. They may well try to squash this in order to keep panic down.
Can you imagine Dallas tomorrow if they say “Hey, we have a few active cases out here!”
Ebola (((ping)))
Ayup.
Although there is a big immigrant community in the DFW area, it could be an expat who went home for a visit this summer and recently returned.
But Liberia has a developing oil/gas industry now so it very well could be a contractor that’s returned.
Or ride in a taxi after someone with ebola has ridden in there.
Or touch a doorknob after they have.
Or an elevator button.
Or a hand rail.
This particular outbreak began when a bat bit a child. Every other case has been human to human transmission.
Its here.....
Well, the model DID predict it would be here in the wild sometimes the end of September. And the likelihood of its arrival depended on the number of cases in WA. I think, based on the ‘official’ number of cases that was roughly a 20% case. So it looks like the estimates of 4 or 5 times the official number of cases being the true total may be correct.
