The Texas Ebola victim’s family is quarantined under armed guard tonight.
This was after family members would not comply with a request to not leave their apartment.
Via On The Record:
Armed guards are
ABC reported:
Four members of a family the U.S. Ebola patient was staying with were confined to their Texas home under armed guard Thursday as the circle of people possibly exposed to the virus widened, while Liberian authorities said they would prosecute the man for allegedly lying on an airport questionnaire.
The unusual confinement order was imposed after the family failed to comply with a request not to leave their apartment, according to Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins.
Texas State Health Commissioner David Lakey said the order would help ensure the four can be closely watched, including checking them for fevers over the next three weeks.
“We didn’t have the confidence we would have been able to monitor them the way that we needed to,” he said.
The family will not be allowed to receive visitors, officials said.
Authorities were also concerned about the cleanliness of the home and hired a cleaning service, Lakey said.
WTF is going on in America?
It was reported today that all the contaminated stuff (sheets/towels) is still in their apt.
CDC has not removed it.
Shelter in place and continue to pay your taxes, citizens.
Well, actually the dude shouldn't have been let in in the first place.
Aye Aye Commandant!
On the Anderson Cooper interview, Louise who is Thomas Duncan’s girlfriend/ mother of his son said she was at work when her daughter called the ambulance. I wonder where Louise works.
I guess they felt that their “civil rights” were being violated.
Mixed feelings. Sneeze and they’ll tell whoever they want to stay home. Especially on election day.
It is being hollowed out from within.
Note how well pResident Obola is leading America through this panic/crisis. Obola knows just what to do.....right?
"The house conditions need to be improved," he said.
A woman who lives in the apartment, Louise Troh, said she has been quarantined with her 13-year-old son and two nephews.
"Who wants to be locked up?" she said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Troh said she was waiting for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to collect a bag of the bed sheets and towels Thomas Eric Duncan used.
Visitors from the American Red Cross were seen Thursday bringing food to the apartment door. The North Texas Food Bank said it sent three days of cereal, tuna, produce and other supplies.
confined in an apartment which had not been cleaned of bio hazards? Yup, the CDC is right on top of things!
what assurances will we get that these biohazard items will ALL be accounted for so that none of it falls into the hands of parties with nefarious intent?
Where are all those FReepers who said this couldn’t happen in America???
We don’t need to worry about those with nefarious intent. Just the normal incompetence will spread this virus plenty fast enough.
Maybe you can volunteer to clean up the mess in their Apartment.
I know profanity is not allowed but we are at the point where the only possible comment is, what the F is with these people?
There is no one to actually protect America or the American people.
WTF would I do that? Where is the CDC?
.....hired a cleaning service.
Who? Merry Maids. For crying out loud this must be done by a specialized service that are trained in Bio-Hazard material. You dont call out to the Merry Maids or a Juanita or Lupita to clean it up.
After a month of so all the body fluids, blood and vomit will dry up and they can use them safely again (they could wash them but that’s optional as the virus will be dead by then).
They probably aren’t Americans. They’re 3rd world country pukes.
