CNN) -- The partner of Ebola patient Thomas Duncan is quarantined in her Dallas apartment where Duncan became sick with the virus after his trip to Liberia, the woman told CNN's Anderson Cooper. The woman, who asked to be identified only by her first name, Louise, is quarantined with one of her children under 13 and two nephews in their 20s because they were in apartment when Duncan became ill, Cooper said Thursday. Duncan, a 42-year-old Liberian citizen, is in serious condition in a Dallas hospital, a spokeswoman said Thursday. But Louise remains in her apartment, and she's worried, not knowing what to do and waiting on federal health officials, Cooper said. She and her family will be quarantined for 21 days, and she's frequently taking her family members' temperatures as well as her own.

Who wants to deliver a pizza to them?

Seriously. If we have to lock down Dallas, how will you get food to people?

I am sure they are all staying inside until the quarantine period is over. Not!

They are under a police-enforced court order. I would HATE to be inside that house, so I could understand WANTING TO GET THE HELL OUT.

Duncan reportedly came into contact with 5 children who attended four different schools, yet only one child from the apartment he was living in is being quarantined. Who are the others, and are they being quarantined as well?

It almost seems that the government wants more people to come down with Ebola, from reading this article.

You’re assuming it ends with a lock down. Look at the (schlocky, but on point) movie “Outbreak” (1995) to see a more extreme measure (almost) deployed. Hint, it involves a MOAB.

The value of that house just took a dump I bet.

They are having food delivered. I would deliver it myself if I could — no danger of infection via leaving something outside the front door. I apologize to Louise for the thuggery displayed early in this thread.

Seriously. If we have to lock down Dallas...

The city of Dallas is deep blue. No way is anyone going to be able to lock down all those libs, illegals, and other assorted cockroaches.

Sorry about the decent, patriotic Americans who live there, too.

No, I have not sympathies. Heard this morning on FOX they didn’t heed the CDC’s warning and went outside so were threatened with jail if they went out again. Ha, as if the Dallas city jail has the facilities to care for them.

When the cases get high... Hop a plane to the sky...

That’s Ebola.

When your fever gets high... and you puke pizza pie...

That’s Ebola.

Come sing-a-ling, come sing-a-ling, come sing-a-ling.

When the fever is high...with pain in your thigh...

That’s Ebola.

When the blood starts to flow...on a plane you will go...

That’s Ebola.

That’s Ebola.

When the world starts to spin...like you drank to much gin..

That’s Ebola.

Oh Obama will lie...when cases run high...

That’s Ebola.

To America you go...to visit your Ho...

That’s Ebola.

That’s Ebola.

I must have read at least 50 different articles about this case in the last few days, and none of them have described HOW Duncan came into contact with these five children.

“Partner”? What the hell does that even mean? Sick of the PC dumbing down of our language.

It’s in an apt. complex. If the complex owner had any decency, he’d burn it to the ground because the only way he’ll ever rent it again is to lie.

Troubled by the fact that there is already a need for outsiders to bring them food/basic hygiene tips.

Gibsmedat was only the 2nd worst disease to come out of the Dark Continent, as it turns out.

Who knew?
