http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3216869/posts
WFFA News Dallas | October 18, 2014 | WFAA
“DALLAS — A woman who was being monitored for possible exposure to the Ebola virus was reported ill at the Dallas Area Rapid Transit White Rock Station Saturday afternoon. DART spokesman Morgan Lyons said the person fell ill with a low-grade fever at the station in Northeast Dallas after deciding that her quarantine period was over. Lyons said the woman is believed to be a resident of the Ivy Apartments, where Ebola “patient zero” Thomas Eric Duncan became ill after traveling to the U.S. from Liberia. Dallas Fire-Rescue hazardous materials teams were dispatched to the station at 7333 East Northwest...” [snip]

confirmation: FDA halts Dallas hospital from using Ebola-screening device
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3216982/posts
The Dallas hospital that treated Thomas Eric Duncan had a version of the Ebola-screening device used by the U.S. military in West Africa sitting on a shelf, but FDA guidelines prohibited staff from using it on the patient. A $39,000 machine called FilmArray was available to the Dallas Presbyterian Hospital when Duncan came in with a fever. The device has a high success rate for detecting Ebola in less than one hour, but sat idly because current federal guidelines prevented the hospital from obtaining a specific “kit” needed for screening, the military website Defense One reported Thursday.

Accusing Americans of Ebola ‘Hysteria,’ GMA Makes Absurd Argument Against Travel Ban
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3216731/posts
It’s clear that the liberal media will latch on to any argument, even the most patently nonsensical, to oppose a travel ban on people from Ebola-affected countries. Take today’s Good Morning America where co-anchors Paula Faris and Dan Harris accused Americans of “hysteria” over Ebola and concoted an anti-travel ban argument flying right into the face of the facts. Speaking of flying, the oblivious duo asserted that a flight ban makes no sense since Ebola can only be passed via contact with bodily fluids. But surely Faris and Harris know that Thomas Eric Duncan had no such symptoms when he [landed here in US, snip]
