Finally happened, ebola is here...

http://www.cnbc.com/id/102037055

Never saw it mentioned in the national media but my local mews channel reported yesterday that a person in Dallas had been isolated and was being tested for ebola. I assume this is the case but no details yet...

It's the main story on the front page of CNN.

Funny that the name of the article is:

First confirmed case of Ebola confirmed in the United States.

What is this, straight from the Department of Redundancy Department?

Quote:
The United States has one confirmed case of Ebola, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday, marking the first domestic appearance of the deadly virus that has ravaged swaths of continental Africa.

The as-yet unidentified patient is located in Dallas, officials say, effectively confirming a statement issued on Monday by Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. The organization said that an unnamed patient was being tested for Ebola and had been placed in "strict isolation" due to the patient's symptoms and recent travel history.

"The patient is an adult with a recent history of travel to West Africa," said Texas' Department of State Health Services, in a statement. "The patient developed symptoms days after returning to Texas from West Africa and was admitted into isolation on Sunday at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas."
Do you see any confirmation from this statement?

I'm not saying there isn't someone diagnosed with ebola in the states, i'm just hacking on them for their writing skills and choice of article title based on the article content.

Yes, live journalism at it's finest! I grabbed the CNBC story because they were the only outlet reporting the story. At the time i posted, no other news outlet had picked up on it...

And in typical American fashion, this will be on CNN for 24-hours straight for the next few weeks, until something else happens. Bye.

Shut down Texas. No one leaves. Deploy troops along the border. All 3000 miles of it. We have enough troops for that, right?

Add it to SARS, West Nile Virus and all the other diseases that were supposed to be epidemics in the U.S., but never were.

It's the end times. I am stocked up, you should be too. How many bullets do you need to take out ebola?

Off topic: I can't stop thinking of the "Ricola" jingle whenever I hear Ebola

I'm headed to Bass Pro right now to get my first .30-06. Can't be up close and personal with Ebola, gotta be good at the long shot. Y'all tell me right now that first CDC interview to air didn't sound like it was right out of every single modern Zombie epidemic fake news video during the recap portion of said modern zombie flick or TV Show.

Good point.

I think there's a new adage in there somewhere.

"Don't bring a knife to an ebola fight. Even if you win, you lose."

You mean a man traveling from Liberia, where Ebola is present, had Ebola? Weird. How about some travel restrictions?

I can't believe we still have commercial flights coming in from Liberia.
