Just heard on KTTV Dallas, that the ebola patient was at the Ivy Apartments in NE Dallas
I just made this up.
I wonder if these patients who survive build up an immunity to it?
I wouldn’t bet that the ER workers know anything about Africa and what comes from there. Except those who work at the ER who are from Africa.
“Did he fly direct? Did he have a layover?”
According to the Liberian Ministry of Information, he flew through Brussels.
“I wouldn’t bet that the ER workers know anything about Africa and what comes from there.”
You don’t think that ER doctors and nurses know anything about infectious diseases that are currently causing thousands of deaths in other countries?? Yes, they absolutely do.
And according to the news conference going on right now, the patient told a nurse where he had been, and she didn’t pass the information on to anyone else. Nice job, nurse.
It's the only way to be sure......../s
Great - did he eat anything there? Go into an airport restroom? Spend the night with a hooker?
The multifaceted permutations of this are almost incomprehensible.
The question then becomes will the population of this apartment not be as responsible about health care as are typical US citizens?
What happens when they go to emergency wards and doctor's offices for visits? Will they infect those locations while they're waiting for care? Is Dallas one of those places with hordes from Central America and other illegals, who are going to hide rather than come forward, fearing deportation?
I find it curious we haven’t heard his itinerary yet.
The news made it look like a direct flight to DFW, however, AA said it doesn’t have that flight. So who would? I get the impression it had at least two legs to it, and if so, why aren’t we hearing about it? Isn’t it relevant to those who flew on those flights and worked them?
I have a friend who works customs at DFW. Her email back used the words “scary” and “pissed as hell”
Drug activity. Blood contact.
I think he went to Brussels, then Dulles, then on to DFW.
Prob. slayed over in Brussels and Dulles
Gosh, did that 21 day incubation period fly by! (sarcasm)

Infected Ebola passenger in U.S. flew through Brussels en route from Liberia, says Canadian health official
Liberia to Brussels, to Dulles International, to Dallas.
Proves my point. The nurse knew nothing about Liberia and ebola. Doctors? Maybe. Nurses and techs? Probably not. I was in the hospital in the past 5 years and the nurses aren’t the brightest of the bright. There’s no telling what they’re like today.
the Daily Mail has its tabloid moments but it often has news stories the US press will not report
I read it daily
Agreed.
Actually, all people traveling from infected areas should be quarantined before being released into the US.

Why not? Could it be because they didn’t think it was important because they’re not up to date? I doubt ebola is being discussed on America’s Got Talent. I don’t know ‘cause I don’t watch it.
It is the first on-line paper I read in the morning.
“Spend the night with a hooker?”
No, only 15 minutes each with a bunch of hookers.
