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. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/10/01/texas-ebola-patient/16525649/ A close acquaintance of the first Ebola patient. Naw,,,I was told this was impossible, just couldn't happen. Both must be a right wing hoax.
It gets worse... there may have been more people exposed including school children. US hospital bungled report of Africa travel in Ebola case Well, if that doesn't send the message home I don't know what does. Ebola coming to a town near you.
The fact our medical health care professionals didn't already know about an Ebola outbreak in Africa and it's implications is quite disturbing.
Then we must begin to wonder if Obama hasn't already saved 3000 lives by sending army personnel into Africa. They may be safer there than here.
I don't think they didn't know. I think they just made a mistake not communicating all of the facts among themselves. Of course one slip up is all it takes to start an Ebola epidemic. And here it comes... or maybe not this might just be the jolt the healthcare industry needs to shape up.
Any news what the government is going to do about that? I mean, apart from treating those patients. Do they have any plan in case situation gets serious and it's Ebola? Or is Obama playing golf as always?
