Fairgrounds is approximately 9 miles from the apartment complex; Patient Zero’s apartment is in North Dallas, a short drive up North Central Expressway from the Fairgrounds.
Incidentally, the Texas State Fair runs through October 19th. Texas and OU play the annual Red River Rivalry game on the 11th; if I were the athletic directors at Oklahoma and UT, I’d move the game to Austin or Norman pronto.
Thanks. Just figured that out. Map link above. Agree about the game. Even Perry trying to play down fears in presser. Understandable but not helpful to stop actual spread of virus IMHO.
Up to 12 people could be infected with Ebola including five children, it was revealed today, as health officials scramble to contain the deadly virus following the first diagnosis on U.S. soil.
The family of the male sufferer, who recently arrived in Texas from Liberia, could be at risk. EMTs who transported the patient were also deemed at risk but had received the all-clear today.
The man, who arrived in Dallas on September 20, is said to be critically ill and has been kept in isolation since Sunday. The patient, has not been identified but is believed to be married and have children. He is 'awake, talking and asking for food', doctors said today. However there are fears of the disease spreading because the man was in the U.S. for almost a week before being isolated.
