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.
This tells me the CDC has given them up for dead......to leave all of the contaminants in their living quarters.
My “moron” post was directed at Louise, not you.
Huge rainstorm in Dallas today with downshear winds of 75 mph. It was dispersed, at least to some extent.
Cant secure the border. Cant secure the airports. Cant secure one little second floor apartment. Time to throw in the towel and call it quits.
Nor the White House...
America’s doors are open to MORE people leaving Africa to get first world medical care for FREE... We stopped flights to Israel because a missile exploded a mile from the airport... but we can’t stop flights from the hot zone?
In simple terms a plague has reached our shores . This ailment is as easy to transmit as the flu but has a 60%-90+% mortality rate depending on the level of care received .
The medical professionals are scared shitless at the idea of a panic & the govt types are more concerned with being politically correct than being honest & these two things have the potential to cost a whole bunch of lives.
I have no sympathy for this woman. It was her decision to bring a relative from Liberia to potentially expose her children to Ebola. I feel sorry for the children, but no sympathy from me if she contracts Ebola.
And I am sure everyone in that apartment will get Ebola.
She should have thought of her children before this, and now she could die.And so could her children.
And to top it off, instead of pleading for food and cleaning supplies, she is trying to escape- potentially infecting other people.
i have nothing but contempt for her and her brother. her brother is facing arrest in Liberia due to his lying to get here.
No sympathy from me at all.
She could croak, I don’t care.
Political correctness is killing us. Our refusal to do sensible things like, close the borders, stop flights from Africa, deport illegals, profile muslims, and honestly face our social problems, is going to force us to do some really ugly things in the future if we wish to survive. By not honestly facing and dealing with problems when those problems were easier dealt with,we will find ourselves behaving like soulless animals to correct what we could have stopped. What could once have been achieved with a minimum of violence will now require men and women to act with extreme prejudice.
We should also be asking, “Why Texas?”

She DID plead for food and supplies. And when I commented on the posts saying so this morning, I was told that she was stupid for not already having these things on hand.
And it’s not her brother. It’s her mate. Depending on the news article, it’s her husband, ex-husband, partner, etc. Either way, he’s the father of her child.
And my husband is overseas right now. Should I tell him to not come home on vacation in two months? (Considering that this is how we’ve spent 1/3rd of our marriage, that would feel weird and paranoid.)
“Im not sure the issue is of quarantine so much as quarantine in the same apt. that is riddled with virus. Im not sure that is too bright.”
Ho-ly crap. Serious common sense here.
If I knew that my home was contaminated, as much as I’d love to cooperate with a quarantine, I just don’t think that I could seal my child back into that place.
How is this so hard for people to understand?
“Id have had the clorox out dowsing the walls and everything. The grown adult nephews would be dealing with the ceiling. Those sheets and pillows would have been ripped off the bed and everything would have been in a hefty bag along with the mattress and boxsprings waiting for the CDC on the patio. Those nephews would also have ripped out the carpet and a big sign with EBOLA taped to it all.”
And you’d all be DEAD by doing that.
That’s IF you had a barrel of bleach on hand to begin with.
WTF is going on in Texas?! You’re a target plain and simple. Why not NYC, Chicago, San fran, or LA? Nope.
You are right by ALL points.
Seriously, do you want to help me start a petition for this? (I can’t work on it until Saturday, but I’ll do it)
hired a cleaning service?!?!?!
I hope they are qualified to handle infectious diseases.
Ebola has a high mortality rate, and the afflicted die a horrible death.
The fulfillment of the Weather Underground’s scheme.
I asked, well, what’s going to happen to those people that we can’t re-educate; that are die-hard capitalists. And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated that they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these re-education centers. And when I say eliminate, I mean kill. 25 million people. - FBI agent Larry Grathwohl speaking of the Weather Underground led by Bill Ayers, that “guy in the neighborhood” in whose home Obama raised funds and launched his political career.
Sitting in a contaminated apt. 24/7 is better than cleaning it up the best you can? Well, ok, then.
Exactly.
There is no place to put these people or means to transport them without putting others in danger. These people were in a small apartment for four days probably sharing a bathroom with this guy. Decontaminating the apartment at this point is closing the barn door after the horse left.
In pandemics hard choices have to be made. If this spreads the military will have to be called in to set up quarantine and treatment centers. The hospitals can’t handle this.
Of course all of this will be a gift wrapped with a bow for the NWO crowd.
