It was a liberal judge, go figure on that one.

It's obvious that know one here knows how to handle this. The deputy should have been considered on a watch list for being in a quarantined apartment with quarantined individuals. Second, he should have been able to report his symptoms and been taken to the receiving hospital, and not a care now clinic to expose however many more people. Not smart at all.

If one or two more cases of Ebola are documented in the Dallas area, especially among persons not very closely related to the original patient, this thing could get out of hand quickly. While not necessarily encompassing many actual deaths, a domino effect could take place the quickly hurts the local economy.

For instance, look at the photo below:

This is the clinic the deputy sheriff mentioned above visited and was treated for his symptoms after being in the apartment of the now-deceased ebola patient. From there he was transported by ambulance to a hospital. The clinic is now on lockdown and its employees being monitored.

Do you think it will be business-as-usual any time soon at that clinic? Even once it's cleared to operate, does anyone believe most local residents would visit the place? If that deputy sheriff does indeed have ebola, I'm betting that clinic will shut its doors in 6 months or less due to a loss of business.

Hotels, restaurants, all sorts of other businesses are at risk.

I am reluctant to believe he has ebola..

in fact I doubt he thought he had it either.. or he wouldn't have left his home..

but if he does,.. then this is a huge problem..

on a side note...

Woman from plane that landed in Texas being checked for Ebola

A woman on a plane that landed at Midland International Airport in Texas late Tuesday night was brought to a hospital with symptoms that made paramedics think she should be checked for the Ebola virus, reports CBS Odessa, Texas affiliate KOSA-TV.

American Airlines Flight 2791 from Dallas apparently had 69 people on board, the carrier says.

The captain called roughly 20 minutes before the plane landed at 11:05 p.m. to alert authorities that a passenger was displaying flu-like symptoms. At some point in the flight, Ebola was mentioned. Because of that, Midland Fire Department personnel who are stationed at the airport were ready when the flight landed and boarded the plane to assess the situation.

But Midland, Texas Public Information Officer Sarah Bustilloz tells KOSA that, while Ebola isn't being ruled out, it's now considered "highly unlikely." She confirms that the woman was vomiting -- one symptom of Ebola -- but says the woman didn't have a fever -- another symptom.

City officials tell the station she didn't come from an area with Ebola cases. They say she traveled from Istanbul, Turkey through London to Dallas, then on to Midland.

now as we go into flu season... thousands will overload hospitals.

I doubt he has it either Steve, but I think you see where I'm going with this. When it comes to the health of themselves and their families, people go bonkers.

Years ago I employed a British citizen who had lived for several years in Egypt before joining the company. He worked at my place for several months as a technican and was living at a nearby apartment. When he didn't show up for work one day, and didn't answer his phone, my secretary visited his place expecting to find him in bed ill.

She found him dead on the couch.

I was out of the country at the time. She and the apartment manager called the police who sent officers, the coroner, and an ambulance. The coroner ordered an autopsy to determine cause of death. I'd say the guy was about 50 or so.

I don't even recall the cause of death but one thing the coroner found was that the guy had been exposed to tuberculosis (as have virutally 100% of everyone else who lives in a third world country). All hell broke loose at my place with employees running around screaming that they'd been exposed to the disease.

The only way I could calm down the entire mess was to pay to have a medical team come in a test everyone. No tuberculosis was found, but it was a costly clusterfark in more ways than one.

I beta the nurse in Spain didn't think she had it. On something with this high of a mortality rate with known exposure to an infected environment, a little caution is in order.

A little quarantine and travel rules would actually make more sense until the lid is put on it.

WW, many of us will get our chance with TB, thanks to the liberal voters. I get your point and have seen that whole cluster in action with an infected bull.

But there is some significance to the disease as well. My FIL can't hardly breath because of chronic lesions that was missed for years.

most Generals are in the loop on intelligence, and I would bet they played this situation out looking for all of the possible out comes..

and if is keeping a Marine Corp General up ,.. then it is a issue.

“The immediate thing that really keeps me up awake at night, I tell you, it’s the Ebola issue,” said Marine Corps Gen. John F. Kelly, the commander of U.S. Southern Command, to an audience at the National Defense University on Tuesday. “There’s no way you can keep Ebola in West Africa.”

I would expect the General to resign or find a mistress/prostitute in his closet over the next few weeks... cause he is certainly out of step with the Obama administration party line..

Just announced on DFW TV station....Deputy tested negative for the Ebola virus.

They also said he has no symtoms...which makes a person wonder why he even went to the clinic and then the hospital.

He should have been under observation and Healthcare professionals would have been able to determine if he did, or did not, have symptoms and that would have not produced the "fear" in the community.

Hmmmmm?

"never let a crisis go to waste"

CNN just reported that the "breaking news" that somebody thought to have Ebola doesn't have it after all.

I would hate to see it start at one end of your trailer park and end at the other, that's for sure. A lot of innocents killed in the middle...just like the abortion of children that you promote.
