"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)

"Breitbart Texas steps up" to help the young Jollah family ....who've been left on their own yet who cared for Duncan ....leaving diapers for her young children and other items...

Here's the story...

....concerned parent, Kelly Cotton, expressed dismay at the lack of support being given to the “The adult daughter, who is a nurses' aide, provided loving, professional care to Patient 0 (Duncan) during his last day at home,” Cotton wrote. .....“She also participated in alerting the CDC to the seriousness of the situation and calling an ambulance to take him back to Presby (Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital)........ When the ambulance arrived she stopped the EMT's from entering, warned them that he probably had a deadly virus and told them to go put on appropriate protection,” Cotton continued........ “Then she followed the ambulance and waited in the ER for a couple of hours until she was sure Patient 0 was placed in isolation.... That's heroism.”

Cotton said ....“It blows my mind that the city isn't bending over backwards to thank her. It also blows my mind that she's under 'voluntary' quarantine, given her level of contact with Patient 0 at his most virulently infectious [stage].......

At this time the Jallah family remains unguarded in a small apartment that is filled with pizza boxes.... Another reporter actually spoke with Mr. Jollah at the door of the apartment and observed several pizza boxes inside. It is not known how they were delivered, or who paid for them."

“I’m tempted to buy enough food for the next six months and not leave my house.”

I’m not a prepper, but I’ve been thinking something similar, stocking up on a food supply just in case.

“Today on Rush he reported about a Marine General who is concerned about Liberians coming in through Mexico. He said they caught five of them trying to get to New York.”

Geez. Since they only catch a very small percentage of those entering the country, we are doomed.

“I blame Obama and his people for not stopping flights from Ebola African nations like Liberia.”

Exactly. This is purely intentional. Just a continuation of Coward-Pivan.

“Tickets bought before ebola hit the news.”

You can get a refund on even nonrefundable tickets if a doctor provides a medical reason. Not sayin’ that’ll work in this case, but there should be a clause about going to an area with an epidemic as well. I’d call the airline

Why would it take 48 hours to get the results back? I had heard the tests could take 12 hours....but 48?

““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.”

Not the first lie about this. The Obola administration said there was no risk by flying in people from ebola regions.

One American sick -how many will it take before it becomes a risk?

Dallas Sheriff’s deputy rushed to hospital with Ebola symptoms; was in ‘patient zero’s’ apartment

CBS reported:
Quote
According to a statement from the City of Frisco, the patient claims to have had contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, referred to as Dallas ‘patient zero.’
The Frisco patient has been identified as a Dallas County deputy Michael Monnig, who was not one of the 48 people being monitored by federal, state and local health officials because he never had direct contact with the patient. Monnig did enter the apartment where Duncan stayed after Duncan had been admitted to the hospital.
According to CBS 11’s Andrea Lucia, Monnig’s children said he woke up this morning feeling sore and a little nauseated. He went to clinic as a precaution. Other sources say Monnig was complaining of “stomach issues.”

“It was announced last week that Duncan died. Then they changed the story. Now he’s dead again. I believe he died last week but they wanted to keep it quiet. Knowing it would come out eventually they went ahead and announced it.”

I read they were trying to make him out to be a saint. I’d say it’s even more if they are saying he died then was alive after.

They probably wanted to buy time to plan and to round up all the exposed to cut down of fear of the unknown - as if that is possible... and it seems that got most everyone - one homeless man who somehow was in the Ambulance wit Duncan on one of the rides ... they issued a medical warrant for his detention after he has disappeared - but they have him now

The horse is indeed out of the barn now, thanks to the shill occupying the White House. The signs have been evident that the decline of our Republic has been by design, but this is downright diabolical.

“I favor playing the “knockout game” with every politician who supports open borders.”

The Republicans could wipe up this election.

But most of them ARE also open borders traitors.

The finer details seem to be constantly changing.

IDK if they are really that ignorant or if they are deliberately trying to throw all kinds of confusion, doubt and divison out there

All the experts and self-proclaimed experts seem convinced it is impossible for Ebola to come through this border. That is nonsense, many illegals from Africa are caught trying to cross this border and we all know they don’t catch all the illegals by any stretch of the imagination. Most are stuck on the fact that supposedly the average time for travel from Africa to the Mexican border for an illegal is 45 days and the incubation of Ebola is 21 so it just can’t happen. I guess none of these people are familiar with how a relay works. They seem to think that original infected person would not pass it along to another on their journey.

It is more likely for infected people to arrive by plane but it is far from impossible for someone to cross the border with it.

I thought that too, I am in the middle of nowhere but my neighbor is in Dallas right now because her grandmother is dying. I don’t think we are really safe anywhere as much as people travel now.
