Possibly important info being leaked:

Also local news just reported that CDC is going to interview up to 6 children and several adults tomorrow. Not sure why they are waiting or if these people are quarantined either.
“...that CDC is going to interview up to 6 children and several adults tomorrow.”
I hope that didn’t get leaked to a wide audience. And I hope the family is here legally. If not they may take off upon hearing that someone from U.S. government wants to talk to them.
If it gets to the point of widespread disease, I wonder how many people will ignore the symptoms so as not to risk being quarantined? “Honey - it’s just a bug - and I HAVE to finish that project at work. I’ll call the doctor next week.”
Sounds like this source could be legit.
So he flew through Brussels and Washington Dulles airport, according to the source. But the troubling thing is that he first presented with symptoms at the emergency room on the 24th, not the 26th.
If this is true, Yikes.
Those six children and multiple adults, they probably sat next to the guy in the ER waiting rooms.
TWO ER waiting rooms.
Wow. .thanks for posting pen.
I’ve been working in a hospital for 3 years now (large- approximately. 2,000 patients) .. and when they sent the doc back from Africa to Atlanta we all received e-mails reassuring us and explaining Ebola etc. I began looking around my environment at work. .really looking. It’s remarkable how much I touch every day at work that has been touched by others..from a sink handle to the styrofoam cup my coffee comes in to the instruments and computers used commonly on the unit. To think of tracing back the people who have used and handled these items. ..what a task.
My greatest concern is the lack of trust any of us have in our institutions. I don’t know what I’ll believe in the next email we get. .
From your link -
the patient had come from a funeral in Liberia
traveled from Liberia to the United States via Brussels and Dulles, VA, on to Dallas, TX
Yikes. No telling who had contact with this Ebola positive person in the multiple hospital visits....or, GOK’s where, once they were sent home with antibiotics. Scary.
They really should be moving faster, if for no other reason than to dispel panic.
