The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday confirmed the first case of Ebola has been diagnosed in the United States.

This story is developing. Please check back for further updates

Operation SEPSIS is going better than planned.

Should be ready to bring down that complete national quarantine just before November 4.

Pray for best possible outcome...whatever that should be...

If it gets to the point where funeral homes are involved we are really screwed.

The burial procedure will be bulldozers and bonfires.

“But not enough to name the flights the patient took to find the potentially infected, or the man’s workplace, school his kids go to, etc.”

Being in Dallas, my bet would be the Houston-Lagos United Airlines flight out of Houston. some call it “The Oil Well Special”.

Without knowing the date he came back, that means that EVERYONE who has taken that flight in the last three weeks is at risk, and everyone they have come into contact since, and everyone THEY came into contact with.

CNN is “trying” not to cover this. They are likely trying not to start a panic.

This was Obola’s goal from the start. America isn’t so exceptional after all. We are just like the turd world of Africa...Martial law in 3...2...1

Which will make things very apocalyptic.

No way; if this spreads, Obama will be kicked out of office, Biden replaced, then we’ll put real leadership in charge.

[CorporateStepsister]

I wonder if this man walked in from the open border.

[bigredkitty1]

Incredible stupidity?

[mware]

If I heard Fox News correctly they said he came in on a flight several days ago.

I don't think there are any direct flights to Dallas from Brussels.

The patient either transferred from Europe or another American city.

[txhurl]

Agnes and I have been concentrating on the direct Lagos flight for months, we didn’t know it had that nickname.

[Sir Napsalot]

Right, and we are still letting people in ...... no questions asked.

God have mercy.

[Black Agnes]

Travelocity loads lots of direct flights from Brussels to Dallas. Try it.

“If there was an asymptomatic carrier on that plane out of Robertsfield with them, or just before them, this could be a nightmare.”

Unpossible, we have been repeatedly told by “professionals” on this site that there will be no spread in the US. We have running water and don’t live in mud huts like they do in Africa, so we are all safe. Ebola will only die out once it hits US soil. /s

Thanks open borders.
Thanks liberal Democrats.
Thanks idiot voters.

You’re gonna die, but at least they can’t call you “racist” eh? :)

“DFW airport has no direct flights from Africa. This patient either went through Europe or another American city airport.”

There are TWO Non-stop flights from the infected areas to the US.

United Airlines via Houston, and Delta from Altanta. The Delta flight’s last scheduled trip TOMORROW, as it is canceled effective Sep 30.
