This story is developing. Please check back for further updates.
Scratch that. New diagnosed nurse, not Duncan.
And he will finally stop incoming flights from Africa.
Good thing we got all the News people back.
I now believe that Ebola is a "touch" disease....just like small pox. Everything an infected person touches becomes an ebola carrier waiting for a passer by.
If she flew on Frontier from Cleveland to Dallas on the 13th, someone should ask what flight she was on and when from Dallas to Cleveland.
Editor’s note: Local reporter @DavidSchechter says family have told him that the newest Dallas Ebola patient is 26-year old Amber Joy Vinson, a registered nurse. We will update when we have further confirmation. - Grace

Prevent AIDS - Keep your fly closed.
Prevent Ebola - Close anything that flies.
Obama loves you.
“The airline reported that a patient who flew on flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth Oct. 13 later tested postitive for Ebola.”
The patient - am I following this correctly, that this person is one of the HCW from Dallas? If so, then he/she left Dallas at some point, is now in Cleveland, was on a flight bound for Dallas. So there are TWO planes that need to be decontaminated???
What has been known about this strain is that it takes a droplet with as few as 10 individual viruses in it to become infected.
We’ve got a cold going around Western WA that for the first time in a while hit everyone in my family - no exceptions. This includes my wife who is a school teacher, whose immune system is legendary.
Imagine something with that kind of transmissibility with the lethality of Ebola. It doesn’t have to be airborne to do the kind of damage one would call historical.
What they don’t know, and what NOBODY has talked about:
1. Can a flea that bites and feeds off an infected patient infect someone else?
2. Substitute any pest that feeds on human blood or tissue, and answer the same question?
Plague was carried by fleas. To my way of thinking, it would be so much worse if the answer to either of the above questions was ‘yes’. Worse that it being airborne.
I agree.
Having to tape up gloves, full head covering, etc. Precautions for airborne.
Nothing to be concerned about folks.The CDC knows how to prevent exactly this sort of thing from happening.
CDC Director Tom Frieden told us so himself.
Caught that part after I posted.
Not enough coffee yet.
So this is the victim that was reported overnight (#3 associated with this Dallas outbreak).
This really bothers me. All of these healthcare workers that were associated with treating #1 were supposed to be under surveillance. Why would they have the opportunity to get on a plane anywhere?
Not only that, but if they flew back from Cleveland to Dallas, how did they get to Cleveland? When did they go to Cleveland? When did they really start feeling symptomatic. Are we in touch with whomever they interacted with in Cleveland?
The song, which has a calming, catchy tune, begins: Keep away from eyes that bleed
Don’t lick vomit off the street
And I know you don’t want to die,
So slowly back away from that infected guy
Staying Ebola-free. Staying Ebola-free…
And of course, all 132 of those passengers stayed in Dallas. No one would have had a connecting flight.
CDC protocol left them exposed on shoes, neck, and hair.
I’ve been disturbed by the attempts to blame the nurse in the instance of Nina Pham.
However, this person knew and was presumably under observation. Coworker Ms. Pham had already been diagnosed.
Getting on a plane was the height of irresponsibility.
If I recall correctly, every U.S. case of Ebola - whether contracted in the U.S. or elsewhere — involves someone trying to care for someone else. So far, I have not heard of anyone who does not fit into that category.
What about mosquitos?
