Not to say this isn't the real deal especially if she was one of the ones 'self-monitoring', but here is the problem ...... there has been a low grade fever 'flu' going around Dallas the past week or so. My friend's son had it last weekend, and I ended up catching it from her.

Tinfoil alert!

If she is seeing other sick people being taken somewhere but hearing nothing about them in the news, she might have bolted to the train in order to not disappear.

/tinfoil

If she has experienced mini strokes and her thinking is compromised, it might have been a whole lot easier for her to think something like my tinfoil theory was true.

Not that far out a thought.

Why the BLEEP are these people not under lock and key?

It's not quarantine if someone can just decide to walk away.

The mind reels.

#BREAKING #Dallas transit spox retracts statement that ill passenger was on #Ebola list. http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/...n-temporarily-closed-saturday-afternoon.html/ … Why say that, then? #fail

2:28 pm on October 18, 2014

*snip*

Updated at 2:54 p.m.: DART spokesman Morgan Lyons sent the following email statement to The Dallas Morning News about the White Rock station closure:

The person being treated by Dallas Fire Rescue at White Rock Station is NOT on any Ebola watchlist. She is being treated by DFR as a person who is ill. Updated reports indicate she got off a northbound train at the station and vomited on the platform. There are no indications of any biohazards or spills on any vehicle she has used. We are inspecting the train and the platform and will clean the facility and vehicle as needed consistent with our protocol.

And if she IS Duncan's fiance's daughter, and therefore knows her family has been GONE for days now with NO WORD, then she truly may have been either bolting in fear, OR, in her confused thinking, thought "Their quarantine is OVER today. I'm going to go see them"---and collapsed while doing so.

I don't understand what notified them that she had a fever. Lots of people walk around with a fever and you'd never know. Even if they could tell she was sick, how did they figure out she was one that was quarantined? Is she freely telling people that she was quarantined?
Click to expand...

Excellent question! We are being subjected to a lot of awful journalism these days. That and a plethora of "not ebola" cases springing up hither & yon. Well, let's all catch the presser & see how they 'splain this latest "not ebola" away...

Everything out of the Feds right now, including the appointment of a professional DNC hack to Ebola "czar", is being driven by politics for the upcoming mid-terms.

When that consideration is gone, it may well get even more "frightening" considering the prevailing ideology in the Administration.

I can go 6-8 months at a time without drinking a drop of alcohol. But reading these Ebola threads has brought out the Irish and Italian in me, and I'm nursing a small glass of boysenberry wine with my lunch. (Not driving anywhere for days, so I'm perfectly safe.)

God help me, I might just turn into an alcoholic before this epidemic kills me.

If she was a resident of the apartments, then isn't she at the end of 21 days? What day was Duncan removed to the hospital - the 28th of September? If one counts that as Day #1, then today is 21 days. I kind of doubt anyone told those residents anything more detailed than "oh, keep an eye on your temperature for 21 days, then you're fine!" Going by that criteria, then as far as she knew, she was being compliant with quarantine.

I was within a couple of hundred yards of that station about an hour ago stocking up on Liquor! Saw the firetrucks and ambulances, etc. heading to the location.

I live about 3 miles from there!!

I know where that liquor store is. It was on my way home from work and I stopped there a lot. Thank God, I was laid off last Wednesday. I hope she didn't go to the fair, last weekend.

I guess we will all die before our time, just not ready now.

The CDC and its so called "low risk status for Ebola" is a bunch of BS. BOTH OF THE NURSES WHO GOT INFECTED BY DUNCAN WERE CLASSIFIED AS LOW RISK FOR EBOLA INFECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The lady as I understand lived in the Ivy Apartment Complex where Duncan was staying. Now if the CDC is to believed the five Duncan family members who were in the same apartment are not infected, but this lady who lived in the same APARTMENT COMPLEX was low risk; yet, now is potentially showing symptoms.

The main reason the CDC is directly restricting information is they are starting to realize two things.

One is their currently mandated Ebola treatment and equipment protocols for medical workers will cause them to be infected by Ebola.

Two is the "low risk status" is MEANINGLESS NOW.

Keep your eyes on this case, gang because IF she gets Ebola confirmed infected it means everybody who lived in the Apartment complex is now at risk.

Again, how the Duncan family members exposed in the apartment can avoid infection, but this person who just lived in the complex may have gotten infected is beyond me. It means the CDC has NO IDEA of who, where, how or why people get infected with Ebola.

Yeah, considering the timely and well handled decon of the common areas of that complex (NOT) we should expect more from that location I'm sorry to say.

Never underestimate how powerful mass hysteria can be.

Wait for clinics to be inundated by cold and flu complaints.

How many lies and retractions are we prepared to accept. How much is fog of war. Gal at thr Pentagon threw up, was in Africa. No, wait she wasnt. Never heard from since. DART gal on watch list. Wait..never mind. They showed Pham from her hospital bed yet never a peep from Troh, her kids, homeless guy, now a third patient at Emory since September 9th...oops forgot to mention. They are stone cold liars and not very good at it. I am watching the stores, travel routes to b.o. civil unrest etc. We are being lied to left and right.

He must have FINALLY got up and gone to work, then; he missed a meeting (the FIRST meeting of the Ebola "group") this morning, per the thread about him....

Alrighty now, the low grade fever flu going around Dallas has not been causing any type of vomiting that I am aware of.

CM, I am thinking this Ebola Czar is going to go down like Admiral Kimmel and General Short took the fall for Pearl Harbor. The man clearly isn't too smart in my opinion. If he was, he would realize Obama is setting him up to fall on the sword. LOL

Besides, he was what, the chief of staff for Al Gore. LOL

I am thinking, gang the Obama Administration is starting to realize and comprehend the political implications of the open border policies, in the context of a potential mass death Ebola epidemic in the USA, just before the November 4th elections.

Of course, we can always hope and pray Obama gets Ebola from all his PC hugging. <G> Now if we could only get that fool Biden at the same time we might have a chance of sealing our borders.

I am thinking the political pressure to lay mine fields on the Mexican border is going to be overwhelming by Christmas.

Mayor Jenkins is as relaxed as I've ever seen him. He refers to efforts going well in getting ready for any more cases.

75 on a monitor list. People who are asked to sign the agreements are HCW who have been in the room around Eric Duncan or his body after he died ... around 10 or 12 had not signed ... of those several brought their children around to see me today...they can come into our area ... there's nobody that's not compliant with it ... I'm not sure what currently ...
