[blownaltered]

Just saw that they're isolating a patient at UMC in Lubbock over concerns they may be symptomatic. Patient was in west africa last week.

why haven't we stopped flights yet?

Just heard on the radio they have a girl in Boston in isolation. She just came back from Liberia working with Ebola patients. Looks like they are testing her as well. They say she is showing symptoms

Well they set the rural area NE of Dallas on fire today. One of the nurses who tended to Duncan lives in Royse City. She has pulled her kids from school on a voluntary quarantine. They have closed two campuses for cleaning. My FB feed is on fire! Lol

2:40 p.m. update: A Belton resident who shared a flight with a Dallas nurse who has tested positive for Ebola may have been exposed to the disease after being within 3 feet of the nurse, city officials said.

A Belton family of four was on the flight that carried 29-year-old Amber Vinson, who tested positive for Ebola on Tuesday after showing symptoms. One of the family members was in what officials are calling the “contact zone” after coming within 3 feet of Vinson during the flight.

Eight people from Texas were in the contact zone during the flight, officials said. Their whereabouts were unclear Thursday afternoon.

The four family members have voluntarily placed themselves into quarantine at home. Though the Belton school district said there was little risk of the two children being infected and that they would allow them to return to school, their parents have decided to keep the children home until Nov. 3. Their parents will also remain in voluntary quarantine until then, officials said.

The district sent a letter to parents Wednesday saying that both children had attended school on Tuesday and Wednesday before school officials learned they had shared the flight from Cleveland to Dallas with Vinson. The children are students of North Belton Middle School and Sparta Elementary School.

Both schools were closed Thursday, according to the school district.

The family members are monitoring their temperature and are in close contact with Belton city officials, should they show any symptoms, city spokesman Paul Romer said.

Earlier: Three Belton Independent School District schools are closed Thursday after federal officials said they were re-evaluating the health risk of two students who traveled on the same flight as a Dallas nurse who was diagnosed with Ebola, according to a district letter issued to parents.

Classes at North Belton Middle School, Sparta Elementary and Belton Early Childhood School are cancelled today to clean and disinfect schools and buses, the letter said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this week they were reassessing the health risk posed by Dallas nurse Amber Vinson to passengers who traveled with her from Cleveland to Dallas on Frontier Airlines flight 1143.

Belton ISD Superintendent Susan Kincannon wrote in the letter to parents that she was “frustrated that we didn’t learn until late (Wednesday night) that the CDC was re-evaluating the health risk.”

The two students from North Belton Middle School and Sparta Elementary who traveled on the same plane as Vinson on Monday attended class Tuesday and Wednesday and are not showing symptoms of having contracted the Ebola virus, school officials said.

The students are being monitored by the Bell County Health Department and the Texas Department of State Health Services, and their parents will be voluntarily keeping them at home for 21 days, school officials said.

The students’ names or ages were not released.

Others schools in Ohio are taking similar precautions. On Wednesday, a Cleveland high school was cleaned after officials learned that a teacher may have come in contact with Vinson.

Today, two more Cleveland-area schools are closed for disinfection after reports of a staff member who may have traveled in the same airplane as the health worker, Ohio school officials said.

Why the fuck is Customs,CDC or somebody not locking down anyone whom flies back from that region? They all should be quarantined.

Its just a matter of time before this gets out of hand.

It is easy to disguise the fact that you have been somewhere if you wanted to. At least disguise well enough to get past passport control which would be who that action would fall on.

Fly from Liberia to Dubai on a one way ticket and itinerary. Stay a night in Dubai then fly right in to the US on a new itinerary. = stamp and "welcome to America. Next!"
