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.

Ebola in Dallas has been confirmed..........
Your post:
Dallas patient tested for possible #Ebola. “We want to caution Dallas County residents not to overreact.” http://bit.ly/1rDjBEM @keranews

It may well be confirmed but no where does it say there was a postive test. They expect
an announcement later today. Nothing on the net that I can find stating the results of the test.
Neil Cavuto just confirmed it live.
NO LINK NO DICE
Yep, just heard Cavuto say Ebola confirmed.
He just said the CDC announced it and they will have a report from john Roberts when they return from the break.
This is not good news.
bttt
We can thank Obama for this. He allowed this to happen. He deserves to catch it.

Don’t forget...this guy probably went through multiple airports...and the first people to examine him almost surely were not thinking it was Ebola.
Agnes, what flight is direct from Liberia to DFW?
This is one time where I am more concerned with fixing the problem, not the blame.
Once the fire is out, go head hunting. If the report is true, we need to clamp down now. And God help us. Let’s hope this guy did not have a lot of friends.

Ebola confirmed by CDC
“Ebola confirmed by CDC”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday confirmed the first case of Ebola has been diagnosed in the United States.
The CDC will host a press conference at its Atlanta headquarters at 5:30 p.m., ET.
Hmm, lemme see.
Not finding any direct flights from here:

Course he could have flown somewhere else and then hopped. Hopefully he wasn’t symptomatic when he went through customs and the other airport. Contact tracing THAT would be a nightmare...
“Contact tracing THAT would be a nightmare...”
They will find less than half
It means he took that direct flight from Houston.
While I agree just think about where planeloads of people have dispersed in the past day or two.
But that’s to Lagos, right?
Hmmm, lemme go see if there’s a direct to Houston from Roberts Field.

Looks like he may have come in via Belgium somehow.
Or Morocco.
OR, he drove/rode to another West African country (while asymptomatic) and boarded a plane there. Somewhere like Ivory Coast or Ghana or Nigeria. Bribery is alive and well on the borders in Africa unfortunately.
