A patient in Dallas, Texas has been confirmed by the U.S. Center for Disease Control as the first case of Ebola diagnosed on American soil, reports CNBC.
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital had confirmed earlier this week that they had isolated a patient in Dallas who had symptoms and travel history that suggested they could have been exposed to the Ebola virus in a statement, according to local Fox affiliate KDFW. They did not specify the gender of the patient or the specifics of that travel history, but confirmed that federal officials from the CDC were called in, and that results of testing would be expected around 3 PM Central Time on Tuesday.
CNBC confirms that the CDC has found the patient to test positive for the Ebola virus. This is the first case of the virus that has been diagnosed on U.S. soil, though American citizens who were diagnosed with the virus in west Africa have returned for medical attention to the continental United States and recovered.
ABC affiliate WFAA adds that the hospital has announced that the patient is being held in "strict isolation" and that officials believe there is little potential for an outbreak, given the advanced technology available on U.S. soil and the medical infrastructure already in place in a city like Dallas.
The news of an Ebola patient diagnosed on American soil for the first time follows tragic news from the World Health Organization that the rate at which individuals are contracting Ebola in west Africa appears to be accelerating....

Won’t be the first time ;) Although I do seem to have a knack for being right about this stuff...
I like to think of it as having a gift for seeing the obvious. Of course in America 2014 that may well be considered a superpower or some form of witchcraft and someone will check to see if I float.
Fortunately a few of us here seem to share the gift. Maybe we could form the new X men or something.
You have that right! Our son spent last week in Dallas. He was through the airport Monday and Friday. They need to release info on who needs to be concerned and what they should do or anyone anywhere NEAR Dallas for the last month is going to panic!
Conservatives don’t get decontaminated. They get to die for the cause of liberalism.

As long as you know that you are now cannon fodder, that’s what matters most. It would be unAmerican to deny libs their brave new depopulated world.
yep, I’ll just have to go river diving before the water becomes too cold.
They are really trying hard to get this thing Started here in the US
Outraged grammar police should denounce that sentence from the rafters!
How about, “...that suggested in a statement that they could have been exposed to the Ebola virus...”
Oh, heck! I misspelled “Obola.”

*click* spin *click* spin *click* spin BANG!
Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
Were gonna need
a bigger cart!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Speaking of bath house, you know this stuff can pass though seminal fluid, once it hits the bath houses, the virus will acquire its own civil rights.
Makes me think about how “separate” we are.
I recall an older study that tried to find out how many people know how many people who know how many people etc.
So how many people does it take to know the entire world?
The answer was frighteningly short - only seven or so!
