KANSAS CITY, Mo. - KCTV5 reports an apartment building in Kansas City, MO. is being sealed off Saturday night, and a source close to KCTV5 says it's because a person who lives there is sick with something contagious. Police at the apartment building told KCTV5 that all or part of the medical facility the person was taken to is now quarantined as well. The person was taken to Rockhill Research Hospital. No one at the hospital will confirm what the person has at this time. We'll continue to follow this developing story, and bring you updates as we get them.

This is an unusual report, and not just due to the information that has not been released.

- They've immediately sealed off an entire apartment building due to an illness of one resident.

- That illness is contagious.

- This resident was taken to a research hospital.

- This research hospital is now partially or completely quarantined.

So, the apparent meaning of all this, barring some bizarre miscommunication on the part of KCTV would be: whatever it is, it's highly contagious; it's unusual; and unnamed authorities have wasted absolutely no time in shutting down every place where this individual has been located for any length of time.

Thoughts should be right and true, not original. This conclusion results only after years of contemplation leading to the process of rejecting all the garbage and nonsense I was taught in public schools.

... and, no “Rockhill Research Hospital” turns up at all in a Google search.

How about certain areas where 3 or more alien families are living in a space meant for 1?

Well, of course, veracity is important but endlessly repeating mindless ideological talking points isn’t cool either. What do you have against creativity?

Most of these will be false alarms, but even so they are costing a lot of money compared to just banning aircraft travel from the affected countries.

This one doesn’t strike you as being different somehow? It sounds as if it might be airborne whatever it is, judging from an entire apartment building and part or all of a hospital being sealed off or quarantined.

This overkill garbage is going to set in a public wide all out panic which is what I believe odumbo is salivating over. There’s been one confirmed case I’m aware of as of late but with the media coverage you’d think this were a global wide pandemic. It is flu season which now will heighten the sense that every sniffle is the next suspected Ebola patient.

I’ve never seen more ado about not much at present

We can all thank Obammy for this mess. We’re gonna party like it’s 1918 (flu pandemic).

Would not surprise me if it was this enterovisus..a polio type virus, different strain..very contagious.

But it could be anything...we are entering lalaland...

Humans cannot get sick with Reston...Our immune systems take care of it..therefore you cannot even pass it on..

It sounds airborne and very serious, whatever it is. That is, unless the report is skewed somehow. What they did say was unusual, compounded by what went unsaid.

This thing called “creativity” is foolishness taught in public schools.

It’s a subtle but powerful way to tell kids truth can be created in their own mind, regardless of what external reality demonstrates.

This method of teaching goes hand in hand with the encroachment of brainless philosophies such as existentialism, postmodernism and humanism.

Probably just hemorrhagic fever, nothing to worry about...

The CDC did say there is nothing to worry about.

Locking down both the apartment building and the hospital suggests it’s something very serious. If not ebola, then what? Tuberculosis?

I would tend to agree with you. You hit the salient point.

This may be the last year to celebrate Halloween with candy and amused children instead of the stench of real corpses and death in the street.
