Possible Second Ebola Patient

This article is full of holes.  In other articles the CDC has stated they won’t release the flight information, and in this article it states that “ALL” are being monitored.  How about his plane seat-mate, the ticket clerks, the airport personnel who contacted him, the security personnel who screened him, the people where he ate, the taxi drivers, bus drivers he might have contacted and other passengers on the planes, buses, taxis and trains in the airports (Dallas-Ft. Worth has a train, duh).

DALLAS — Health officials are closely monitoring a possible second Ebola patient who had close contact with the first person to be diagnosed in the U.S., the director of Dallas County’s health department said Wednesday.

All who have been in close contact with the man diagnosed are being monitored as a precaution, Zachary Thompson, director of Dallas County Health and Human Services, said in a morning interview with WFAA-TV.

Dallas Fire-Rescue ambulance No. 37, which transported a man later determined to be infected with Ebola, is now under quarantine.

“Let me be real frank to the Dallas County residents: The fact that we have one confirmed case, there may be another case that is a close associate with this particular patient,” he said. “So this is real. There should be a concern, but it’s contained to the specific family members and close friends at this moment.”
