“DALLAS — A woman who was being monitored for possible exposure to the Ebola virus was reported ill at the Dallas Area Rapid Transit White Rock Station Saturday afternoon. DART spokesman Morgan Lyons said the person fell ill with a low-grade fever at the station in Northeast Dallas after deciding that her quarantine period was over. Lyons said the woman is believed to be a resident of the Ivy Apartments, where Ebola “patient zero” Thomas Eric Duncan became ill after traveling to the U.S. from Liberia.

The MSM ha decided that wide open borders and not reporting new Ebola cases is the safest path forward for the Oligarchy.
It takes 2-21 days for the first symptoms to appear (98% of the time - on rare occasions, it's over 21 days, but CDC ignores that in their protocols and in their model). From the first symptoms, it takes 1-4 days for the initial low fever to reach 103 degrees F, and often 1-3 days after fever hits 103 degrees F before ELISA and PCR tests can confirm the diagnosis.
From exposure to symptomatic: up to 42 days, but 95% of cases within 21 days.
In the US, it takes 2 days. In other countries, it takes 12 hours.
My wife, who works in Emergency Services Management for her hospital tells me the test is a two step process. The first one takes about four hours. It is a preliminary test. If that tests positive, they send the sample to the CDC Lab. They perform the next test which takes about a day.
All in all, one of the things folks are working on is a speedy test—less than an hour. You can keep someone sitting in isolation for an hour. If you have to keep them there four hours, it really complicates the process. Especially the isolation part...
