DALLAS - Authorities in Dallas are trying to locate a homeless person who might have had contact with the lone Ebola patient diagnosed in the U.S.
Dallas County Judge Clay Lewis Jenkins didn't identify the person, whom he described as a "low-risk individual identified as a contact." He stressed that the effort to locate the person was precautionary and that the person had not committed a crime.
"We are working to locate the individual and get him to a comfortable, compassionate place where we can monitor him and care for his every need for the full incubation period," Jenkins said.
CBS Dallas reporter J.D. Miles tweeted that officials described him as a "panhandler."

awesome way to start an epidemic
Why is this all being handled by a County Judge?
If they’re concerned about one guy who rode in the ambulance, what about all the staff that treated the guy the first time he went to the ER?
If they quarantined the car, why haven’t they quarantined the hospital ER?
Because he needs to get reelected.

The Dallas County is run by Commissioners who are called Judges. They are not judges who hold trials.
As I said on the other thread, this guy does not look like a big risk to me. The reason is that the family members had plenty more indirect contact than this guy did The victim used the family’s bathroom all night long, he slept on every bed and on the couch. He slept next to the woman (Troh). If she and the others do not get the disease, then the homeless guy won’t either. Since the exposure was last Sunday they are over the hump (5-6 days is the mostly likely onset day). By next Sunday they have a very low probability of disease and by the following Sunday almost zero.
Israeli News is reporting Duncan passed today.

They clean the ER using specified cleaning procedures, not that different from their normal ones.
Not surprising. Either you die a 7-10 days after symptoms (last Friday) or you recover. When he got downgraded yesterday, that was the end.
Movie script?
I agree. Just thought American news would cover that.
HIV and EBOLA: How Political Correctness Will Get You Killed!
The ongoing – and expanding –Ebola situation and how it’s being handled (or, more accurately, NOT being handled) has a parallel with the HIV panic of a number of years ago.
It may ALSO be another manifestation of the schizophrenic nature of the hard leftists who unfortunately sit at the levers of power in this country and whose double-mindedness should now be clear to all but the dullest among us.
Allow me to explain.
A San Francisco (where else?) based and HIV infected “leader”of the homosexual community began a serious campaign encouraging fellow HIV carriers to attempt to bypass or defeat the donor screening process and actively donate into the national blood supply. When pressed as to his justification for jeopardizing the entire nation, he declared that if HIV spread out into the “straight” community, it would almost certainly catalyze and accelerate the search for a vaccine.
Am I the only “conspiracy buff” to see the similarities between that and what’s going on today vis-a-vis Ebola?
I hadn’t thought about this angle until I heard Rush recently ranting about some author who’d written that because Liberia was founded by former slaves who returned to Africa, it was our unfortunate institution of slavery that is directly responsible for Ebola in the western nations of Africa. (Please note that I stop FAR short of the recent utterances of Calypso Louie Farrakan who claims that Ebola was created by evil white men to kill blacks!)
But I digress. That reasoning that America is responsible for Ebola – if it can be called “reasoning” – holds that it is America’s place to come to their rescue with a “cure”. And how better to “catalyze and accelerate” that process than to INFECT as many native born Americans HERE with the disease as possible?
Now here’s where the schizophrenia comes into the picture:
There is a growing group of folks who believe that the earth cannot support the current population approaching 7.3 billion. The bulk of them are in the same leftist camp as those now directing the present halfhearted “effort” against Ebola. Many of them are one and the SAME people directing the Ebola thing! The most radical of them embrace the words of a speaker at an early green movement/save-the-earth rally in California. Odd coincidence that, aye? He declared that “Man is the ultimate DISEASE of nature.” He got a standing O for that line!
From that meeting and others still being conducted, the greenies now believe that the 7.3 billion MUST be reduced to around 1 billion or less. And which members of which nations, ethnic groups or races are “eliminated” is irrelevant – so long as THEY are excluded!
Scriptures informs us that “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” The writer must have known a fair number of the leftists of his day.
Back to my question.
If, on one hand, the leftists are sincere in their effort to SAVE THE EARTH from overpopulation, why would they attempt to save the victims of Ebola and allow them to come here?
Could it be that allowing them to come here with the disease (and sending 3,000 potential military carriers THERE to bring it back with them) while portraying these actions to the noinfo masses as the compassionate thing to do is part of the same scheme attempted earlier by the HIV crowd?
I suggest that we prepare ourselves for the spread of the this 60% to 90% fatal disease among the population of this nation. (This may have been the reason for the Homeland Security “drills” about some “zombie apocalypse”.) This IS, after all, the same America that is hated by Obama and the One World leftists now in control here as the source of every evil committed in the rest of the world and for which evils it must be properly punished?
Do I really think these miscreants – living in their sanitized and safe gated “compounds” — would do that?
After witnessing 6 years of this gang’s criminal behavior, I absolutely think that!
I live about a mile from the apartment complex and Presbyterian Hospital. I swear the homeless guy has been panhandling at nearby intersections. Also I big homeless colony leaves in the woods on my way to Presbyterian. Wonder if they even know about it. Thank God Clay Jenkins is in charge..../sarc.
Or you recover and go into the hospital again two weeks later like the Dr. Richard Sacra. Now I can guess you are going to say, he does not have Ebola now. Just a little congestion and pink eye.
If I was a betting man I would bet your way. However, there is one big caveat. They locked down the ward he is in and put Ebola procedures in place just in case. The ‘just in case’ means that they are not %100 certain that the cured stuck and that the disease did not return in force. If the brightest minds at the hospital are afraid of a recurrence, I think we should have some doubts about what we been told.
Let's think about this. Homeless, no internet, radio, TV...dear God. These are the incompetent fools who run my city. On the Commissioners Court there is one lone Republican. The idiot Clay Jenkins wants to get him to a “comfortable, compassionate place where we can monitor him and care for his every need for the full incubation period.”
I kid you not.
What the hell is it with this “judge”? Is he some kind of Obola “expert” or something? The boy is all over the place.
