FRISCO — A patient exhibiting "signs and symptoms of Ebola" has been transported from a Frisco CareNow.
[snip]
Patients are currently being held inside the clinic as crews at the scene examine staff and others inside the building.
"The patient claims to have had contact with the Dallas 'patient zero,'" according to a statement from Dana Baird-Hanks, a spokeswoman with the city of Frisco.
Officials say a conference will be held at 3:30 p.m. (Central time)

oops, sorry I wasn’t clear. I was in a hurry. Fauci made fun of the Marine General who is head of the Southern Command. He didn’t name him but he made fun of people who are concerned about ebola coming in through our southern border.
Just watched the conference. The guy talking was sweating big time. Does he have it?
You'll be safer there than here in Obola-land.
He could have caught it from Duncan or when he traveled to West Africa himself. What, has half of America been to West Africa in the past few weeks???
Clean your glasses. The deputy is white.
I already corrected that statement, but thanks.
Why did he check yes to traveling to West Africa? In error? Or was he really there?
“It will take up to 48 hours to get test results back to determine if Monnig tests positive for the Ebola virus.”
Yet, the guy up chucking on a NJ plane a few days ago was cleared of infection within 15-20 mins. and the NBC journalist got his test results back in 12 hours. Some of the testing is done in Austin, TX at the State Health Dept. and get a load of this from their site - http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/lab/default.shtm -
“After hours receipt of samples is temporarily unavailable. All packages transported through a courier (FedEx, UPS, LoneStar Overnight) will be accepted during regular business hours. Specimens submitted to Greyhound Bus Station-Austin will be picked up by laboratory staff as usual. Hand-delivered samples will be accepted only during regular business hours Monday - Friday (7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) until further notice.”
Doesn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy.
By next month, you’ll be safer in Africa than in the states.
You’d be safer in a rural area than a city and away from people....like on a farm or ranch.
Oh my. Prayers for the officer.
IMHO, we need the CDC to be more all encompassing in their quarantines, or this bug will spread widely.
lmao.....
LOL
Oh yes. Ha ha
The patient was identified as Sgt. Michael Monnig, a deputy who accompanied county health officials Zachary Thompson and Christopher Perkins into the apartment where Thomas Eric Duncan stayed in Dallas.

Monnig’s children told CBS 11’s Andrea Lucia that their dad woke up this morning feeling sore and a little nauseated.
“We were told by federal officials, county officials that you would have to come in direct contact with Duncan or direct contact with bodily fluids, and he did not,” said Monnig’s son, Logan, about the possibility of his dad contracting Ebola.
“He was in the apartment for 30 minutes, which we were told is no chance to contact the virus,” said Logan.
Great. Here’s someone hospitalized now in NYC who had traveled to Nigeria. He apparently was ill at the Center for Urban Community Services, which serves all kinds of homeless and down-on-their-luck types. Who knows what number of people he was in contact with.

Well, I see a respirator there. but I also see a cheap disposable gown and bare skin.
