A former Food and Drug Administration chief scientist and top infectious disease specialist said that several people were exposed to the Ebola virus by the unidentified patient in Dallas, America’s first case, and it’s likely that many more will be infected.
Dr. Jesse L. Goodman, now a professor of medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center, said while the nation shouldn’t panic, it’s best to prepare for the worst.
“It is quite appropriate to be concerned on many fronts,” he said in a statement provided to Secrets. “First, it is a tragedy for the patient and family and, as well, a stress to contacts, health care workers and the community at large. Second, it appears several people were exposed before the individual was placed in isolation, and it is quite possible that one or more of his contacts will be infected,” he added.
What’s more, he conceded that it was “only a matter of time” that the swift-killing African virus arrived in the U.S.

That alone is news.
And, he ALSO says we should end travel from West Africa.
I guess we ought to cancel the existing 13,500 visas held by citizens of the affected countries.
Time to strap in folks.
Be self-reliant. Cries for government help will be me with oppression.
I’m going to have to re-evaluate my daily transit ride on packed subways.
I’d love to say they will be honest with us....but...there’s this no panic philosophy and Obama is in charge of everything and he lies and lies and lies...
The CDC is in Barry’s hands, which means it’s politicized and pc therefore, not inclined to tell the truth.
Well, this didn’t take long, did it?
Great minds say it in different ways! LOL.
There’s a real confidence builder.
I bet he has a vaccine to peddle all ready.
What angers me, as late as a couple of days ago they had idiots going on television stating EBOLA couldn’t be spread if a carrier was asymptomatic. If it’s in the blood stream, it is transmittable.
Bodily fluids carrying the infection can obviously infect someone exposed to them.
This is the same sort of lie they told about AIDS in the early days.
CDC IRS SS the list goes on, all run and staffed with incompetent boobs that mirror the president
The CDC has always been PC. It’s been that way since I was a college kid at Emory in the late 70s. Nothing has changed, and I’m sure it’s gotten worse over the years.
Be prepared for a new term “ebola-phobic”. (It will only be applied to “right wingers”)
How’s that fundamental change workin’ out for ya?
For Ebola...bodily fluids include sweat. That means no matter who you touched or where you sat or whatever....you left an Ebola trail. You’re one big carrier!!
The purpose of affirmative action is to promote people with IQs of 85 into positions for which they are completely unqualified.
