    They cured those other two that had it previously, correct? I wouldn't worry about it yet.

    They should do the same with him, unless he's the exception to the rule.

    And if I had to guess, he probably was having sex with someone that was infected overseas.

    Ebola victim was originally SENT HOME from hospital with antibiotics before the deadly virus was diagnosed after he had mixed with other people for TWO DAYS

    A Dallas hospital initially mistook a man's case of the Ebola virus in a Texas hospital for something else and gave him antibiotics

    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Tom Frieden said the patient left Liberia on Sept. 19, arrived the next day to visit family and started feeling ill four or five days later

    The unidentified man was critically ill and has been in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital since Sunday, officials said

    Medical officials said patient would not be given experimental treatment ZMapp because there is none of it left
    Frieden said there was no risk to anyone on the airplane because the patient had no symptoms at the time of the flight

    An Ebola virus epidemic has killed more than 3,000 people in West Africa

    Who else did he infect? Hunt for people who came into contact with Ebola victim who was loose in Dallas for a WEEK before he sought help

    A male patient is in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas after becoming the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S.

    CDC Director Tom Frieden said on Tuesday that the patient flew from Liberia to Texas on September 19

    Frieden said there was no risk to anyone on the airplane because the patient had no symptoms at the time

    Health authorities were tracking down family and friends who may have had close contact with the patient and could be at risk of the deadly virus

    After almost a week in the US, the man sought medical help - it is believed he was dismissed with antibiotics. Health officials are investigating this misdiagnosis

    The Ebola virus has killed more than 3,000 people across West Africa

    I call ? . Yaya Toure, Gervhino, and all the other West African soccer players were just in Africa and theyre back in Europe, and they're fine.

    What im saying is, this ? is a plant.... Its not a coincide.
    They were testing it out in Africa, they learned how to control it, got the treatment ready, treatment, cause there's no money in a cure. Now they're bringing it home.

    Can't we just restrict people from entering the country or put them in isolation until it's confirmed they aren't sick

    Why wouldn't they be fine? The majority of people in west Africa are Ebola free.

    So how much exposure to ? fluids is needed to contract Ebola? Do you have to ingest them for instance, or would skin exposure do it? And,what period of time can an infected individual spread the disease before symptoms appear? Are there carriers of this disease who could infect others for a long period of time before symptoms appear?


    I just got back home from Dallas less than a week ago. In other words, could I be dying right now as we speak?

    Dallas Ebola case: 50 under daily checks, 10 are high risk

    http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-ebola-dallas-20141003-story.html

    Fifty people in Texas will be monitored daily for possible Ebola symptoms, including 10 who are considered at high risk because of their exposure to a patient now being treated for the deadly virus, public health officials said Friday.

    The larger group includes healthcare workers and the ambulance team that brought the patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, where he has been in isolation and undergoing treatment since Sunday.
