The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday confirmed the first case of Ebola has been diagnosed in the United States.

This story is developing. Please check back for further updates

Dr. at presser says Ebola is NOT airborne.

3rd Speaker, Edward Goodman: Correct one Leakey statement: NOT AIRBORNE.

[Major Matt Mason]

Obama is 100% responsible. His porous borders policy has come back to bite him in the ass.

Obama is perfectly fine with this. He could care less if this virus hits our shores. Most of D.C. probably feels this way, actually.

If anyone is surprised that it finally showed up here then I am sorry to say it was a naive outlook. People should have been preparing accordingly. The upside is the US is far better off than those 3rd world hellholes that are being ravaged. I am not saying go hide in your basement or move to Anarctica. Start planning now on how your life may be impacted. The likely hood of actually being infected is low at least now but the impact of people panicking is rising. Know what to do and work out a plan with your family.

Now we get to know (tinfoil hat on)

(1) how good our ‘First World’ healthcare system really is; and

(2) Massive or mild hysteria/panic, and crowd control plan in place

What’s with this “tried and true” BS? If it was tried and true we wouldn’t have a case of Ebola in the US. First test, failure.

[PghBaldy]

You are right. That is what I heard too. Symptoms starting the 24th.

From Twitter:

Journal Entry: Day 1, Hour 2 of the Ebola virus in Dallas. Just realized I’ll never see a college football playoff game.

[dragnet2]

Are they all praising and complementing each other yet?

Lets hope the first GD question is:

“Why in flipping hell are we allowing people to fly in from the African continent”?

[Ray76]

35% idiots - the same as Obama’s support. Not a coincidence.

Dallas County is already blue. The area around that hospital is very, very blue.

Austin?

Watch and see—if all the Bushies fly up to their place in Kennebunkport, Maine, we’ll know it’s bad.

[matginzac]

Ok, just saw the televised conference.
Why do we trust Frieden? Why do health workers who know the protocols get infected? Why do we allow people who come from Africa into the country without a medical clearance?
I’m skeptical on how this is being handled....
And I hope I’m wrong......

4: Director Thompson, Dallas Health guy: thanking the Academy.
FNC keeps showing black children in footage.

[gaijin]

not only is the White House incapable of preventing people from physically running into it but also their first impulse is to lie about it.

with these people in charge, HOW can we expect them to keep Ebola out of the USA?

the whole notion is totally ridiculous.

My Grandson flew from Houston to Baltimore/Washington earlier today. I am trying to reach him now after reading this thread.

[yield 2 the right]

I have heard robocalls better than this...

Lens flare or real?

I guess this is the “October Surprise” that Democrat consultant was crowing about 2 weeks ago!
