Ebola in Dallas, Texas
So this guy fly's from Liberia to Dallas Texas on September 20th. He becomes sick about 4 days later, he goes to the ER and they send him home with a diagnosis of "Flu". That was on the 25th. Three days later on the 28th he goes back to the hospital and they admitted him and finally tested him for Ebola. Surprised? Really?? He had symptoms before the 25th or he wouldn't have gone to the hospital.
The CDC said this afternoon Ebola can only be spread by direct contact, yet last week they said it was possible the virus could be air born, passed through coughing, sneezing etc. because they could not explain how suited up health care workers were contracting the virus with all their precautions in Liberia. Boy are they "back peddling" now..
Here is the issue, for 3-4 days while infectious this guy was in the public. Imagine he used your grocery cart, sneezed into his hand and put them on the cart handle. When he is finished, the cart is brought back in and you are the next one placing your hands on it. Now, scratch an itch, wipe your nose, bite your finger nail or God forbid eat something free from those little stations in the grocery, your fingers just went in your mouth with his Ebola virus all over them.
This is far more serious that the CDC wants to admit.

Re: Ebola in Dallas, Texas
I totally agree. One of the nurses is in Atlanta at the CDC. Let's just spread it all over the US. I have a feeling this is going to get much larger than anyone ever expected. I am very worried.
I guess all we can do is pray it stays confined. And also not touch our faces, or scratch an itch until we use antibacterial soap or liquid to wash our hands.
Fingers crossed this stays confined.

I have a "Ebola News" group on Face Book if anyone want the most recent data on infection. The CDC is not reporting all the cases, west Africa alone has 30,000 infected or more.
