Ten o'clock news just confirmed Ebola. Some of my friends do service related work in that hospital. This is not good.

My wife works at Presby Dallas. I've had to quarantine myself the last few nights when she has come home.
The individual came into the ER Sunday evening and AFAIK it has not been confirmed yet. |

Test results should be in today; however they have not said anything at the hospital yet.
Apparently the CDC is sending a team to Presby in case the results come back positive. Maybe they know something that hasn't been released yet; maybe they're just being cautious. |

They need to slap a quarantine around the infected zone. If you go in, you don't get to come out until you've been monitored for a month. Only then should you be allowed back into the USA.
10 days on US soil... Scary. And no idea how many he came in contact with.

NBC5 just reported that there are no direct flights from Africa to DFW airport. If that's true, then then infected patient passed through another airport.
It bothers me that the CDC declined to state the flight info.

Let's not forget this is a relatively weak virus as far as carrier to victim transmission goes. It doesn't pose as much as a health risk in the US where everyone is educated enough to understand the importance of hygiene and the spread of disease.
Bodily fluid exchange or surface contact with close to immediate contact with your body fluid is required. Wash your hands often, limit exposure to others, and keep your hands out of your mouth. Stay safe. |

I don't think I've ever left a bathroom in the US where some ding dong didn't shit and leave without hand-washing. I open the doors at work with a paper towel. |

No surprise, they were not prepared to handle it in Africa either, and now it is a problem. It seems the only plan they have is to tell folks if you do not have Ebola in 21 days, you probably did not come into contact with the patient. |

Three Dallas Fire Rescue Paramedics are now under quarantine for Ebola, called "Reverse Quarantine" where they are sent into seclusion.
The ambulance used is now hot and has been sent to Dallas Fire Rescue's training facility for quarantine. The ambulance was used for 48 hours after carrying the Ebola patient. The patients carried in the ambulance after Leebola Harvey Oswald, are now under watch too. |

The patients carried in the ambulance after Leebola Harvey Oswald, are now under watch too. I think they are in high gear as to finding the exposures right now. And they will probably get it shut down if they can account for Leebola's whereabouts. He was more than likely not contagious til he exhibited symptoms. But this not transmittable through air crap is really kinda bogus. You get ebola spit droplets in your eye and you are a candidate. What happens when Leebola sneezes on you? The Doctor from Ft Worth that got it said 6ft is the minimum safety zone without protective equipment. I'll take his word over CDC. EDIT watching Zach Thompson on fox 4. They better be isolating ALL the direct exposures of family members right now. The people around the non symptomatic family, nah they aren't exposures. But this brings me to my point..the economic impact. Lets say there are only 20 people who are direct exposures. That is 20 lost workers of productivity in North Texas. Imagine another case pops up or two before they get quarantined and all those secondary exposures. This could be some serious economic impact if this grows. Right now its minimal to none. I truly hope they are being extremely aggressive in getting these people isolated during the incubation period. |

Mayor Mike Rawlings of Dallas talking on the news. "It's ok, we got this, hard to catch, DERP, DERP, DERP, uh I used to play football, uh DERP DERP"
Absolutely clueless, how did he get elected?
 Dallas is such a struggling city just circling the drain. |

Meh. Between public sanitation, much less relative medical ignorance of the general population, and very strict body substance isolation/universal precautions policy in healthcare, I won't be giving it much thought beyond checking up on it every couple weeks.
We're so used to 'contact' meaning 'in the same room exposed to airborne droplets' because of airborne viruses being the only ones to really travel. Contact here means direct, with bodily fluids, so I'm predicting it stops with this one guy. That is until the next traveler sneaks in infected. |

Protect against its means of entry into the body, cuts, eyes, nose and mouth contact. Dont have sex with exposed persons or handle their junk. the msds Posted above does not indicate that germx type hand cleaners are effective or not for killing the virus. I say what can it hurt. Prevention and early diagnosis are really the only things we can do. |

I hope we can stomp out this fire, but we really need to keep additional flaming arrows out of the barn. |
