Patient in Dallas confirmed to have Ebola.
 
Ebola case in Dallas confirmed by CDC, first diagnosis in U.S. | Dallas Morning News

The person entered the US from Liberia. First diagnoses for someone in the US.

Should travel to/from the affected area's be restricted until the outbreak is under control?

It is not easy to catch from people who not displaying symptoms. Just keep generally good hygiene practices and avoid sharing bodily fluid with people who might have been exposed to it. America is very well equipped for this kind of thing(as our most 1st/2nd world countries).

Funny how they don't want to disclose exactly what flight(s) he was actually on.

Good hygiene practices and be more careful about sharing the bodily fluids? I'll get right onto that.

Of course they are...just like the Secret Service are well equipped to detect intruders getting near/in the White House. :lol:

I'd guess if you were on the flight, someone would have already knocked on your door.

Exactly, don't play in the feces, urine, sweat, blood or vomit of an infected person.

A bit of false equivalency there. Hardly a good argument.

The US likes to brag it's the best and this, that and the other. Best medical treatment, best hospitals, best political system, best justice system, blah, blah blah....

Apparently the guy told the nurse where he had travel from... despite symptoms he was sent home. I presume it was because he couldn't pay. :rolleyes:

Ignore me I'm not in a good mood today. ;). I borrowed the rolleyes smiley from Pulaski. :lol:
