We don't have any test that we expect to be positive right now ... do you think community is overreacting? I think community has been outstanding ... common sense, compassion ... always a few outliers who panic ... that's ok for people to have a panic reaction ... it's a scary disease ... taking children out of school a day or two is ok but ...weeks becomes a problem ... says something about stigmatizing the HCW families

I think he was given a vaccine or the "cure". I think the reason he looked so freaked that one time is becaus he was wondering if it would actually work.
Will suck to be him if he hasn't been given any of the above.

Thanks for reporting on the conference, helen---I missed the start of it--am listening now
Wonder if anyone's heard of Dr. (he has to go) Varga since that last news conference in which he was a little "TOO" forthcoming???
Is the guy talking the "judge" or Dr. Varga?

There's no one working around patients ... HCW heroes are worried they may have ebola, they worked on Nina and Amber since they were already exposed ... shows level of commitment ... the person seeing you is not our monitor list ...
With Nina it was at 11:15 ... extremely concerned ... with Amber I had an idea she would test positive ahead of time due to a test ... not an ebola test ...
When does timeline officially end? some two days ago, others today ... for others already today ... other roll off Sunday ... all gone by midnight Sunday

We had to be careful .. .when we go beyond what science dictates ...shut down a school because a child is a contact of a contact ... ripple effect ... absenteeism ... a lot of fear ... you've got 7 million people in combined metro area ... we need to follow science, be concerned, but follow science ... if you did not come into contact with the fluids of Eric Duncan or some other symptomatic person you do not have ebola ...

Oh God what a STUPID question from one of the reporters--
WHAT DAY WILL THE SCARE BE OVER?
(of anyone getting ebola secondarily from Duncan)
Try NEVER........

The day Amber isolated ... the calendar day before she tested positive ... around midnight Friday night, go 21 days from there ... any contact she had would have been before she isolated ... I shouldn't guess... it might be after 21 days after Nina and Amber left our facility ...
how much fluid there was ... 2-3 weeks ...

People should not hesitate going to the hospital ... no one is being treated for ebola here .. .no reason to not come here ...
what about new ebola patients? ... why (I can't hear the question) ... we came to a conclusion that we wanted to remove from public spaces the HCW ... if symptomatic ... on a cruise ship and becomes ill and the virus is in body fluids ... we have to get them off the cruise ship ...
How many contacts ... three isolation units ... my goal is to have no more than one person in that room ... intaking and sending away from Presby right now... Bethesda, Emory, Montana, the next group today would be UTA Galveston
(something?) he's being monitored...
They were ... Nina downgraded to Fair ... Amber is ... she's stable ...

She wasn't on a list? Somehow that doesn't set me at ease. I would have thought anyone in that building would have been watched. There sure seems to be a lot of spewing in a lot of places.

EXCELLENT Suggestion! We should all toast...before we ARE toast.
BTW...this is closing weekend on the Texas State Fair (which that line connects to) and a GORGEOUS Texas afternoon. LOTS of people would be riding that rail....

Called this one when Duncan was a new story: Apartments like his, where floods of new immigrants stay while they're getting settled, will have many people in them who aren't on the landlords' lists.
This story today, the woman who threw up at the train station, was one such person. A resident -- later the story changed to no, not a resident, but a visitor for some days some time back at the apartments.
She may have something other than Duncan's illness, but does display fever and vomiting.

DALLAS — Officials now say that a woman who fell ill at the Dallas Area Rapid Transit White Rock Station Saturday afternoon is not known to be a part of any Ebola watch list.
DART spokesman Morgan Lyons said the person exited a northbound Blue Line train at the station and spit on the platform. She was earlier reported by DART to have been on a list of individuals being monitored for the often deadly illness. The woman was said to have a low-grade fever at the transit facility in Northeast Dallas.
Lyons initially said that the woman was reported to be a resident of the same Dallas apartment complex where Ebola "patient zero" Thomas Eric Duncan became ill after traveling to the U.S. from Liberia. It was later determined that while she did stay there for a few days some time ago, she was not a resident of that complex.
Duncan died on October 8 and two nurses who treated him are now being treated for the virus.
The woman in Saturday's incident was being taken to a hospital for an evaluation.
Hazardous materials teams from the fire department were dispatched to the station at 7333 East Northwest Highway, which serves the Blue Line trains along with connecting bus routes. Emergency personnel were wearing protective gear.
"She's the sixth person who's thrown up at a DART facility today," said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins. "That is just part of public transportation that I was unaware of, but that does happen."
DART said White Rock Station would be closed to bus and rail service until further notice; trains scheduled to stop at the station will not stop there until the situation is resolved.
Lyons said the train used by the customer would be removed from service "and cleaned consistent with our established protocols for cleaning hazardous materials."
On Friday, DART said two of its employees "have been connected with persons who have been exposed to or are carrying the Ebola virus." The transit agency said both employees are considered low risk by the Centers for Disease control because neither had direct contact with any known Eolba patients."

Question: Is this not unusual? Six in one day? I remember from school with hundreds of students milling about we'd go much longer than days between incidents.
Interesting how much disruption comes from such a small incident, isn't it? Had to shut down the station.
I wonder if there is any way to contain this thing at all. Given the number of illegal occupants I've seen both from Vietnam during the old days and Lebanon after their civil war, I'd guess that it's at least 3:1 "guests" to "residents" and there is no way, yet, to determine how many are contagious now.

Good news. It's just a spider bite.

Or so the media reports.

Okay, out on a limb here but these people cannot be that stupid, right? Seriously? Just because they aren't on a frelling 'list' doesn't mean that they didn't come in contact with someone who was in contact with someone, ad nausem. I hope Clay Jenkins is the next victim.

I missed it---can you point out to me (post or link) where that line came from?
I want to read that in the original---and then blow it all over the internet..........

My first thoughts exactly....
I agree. Unless this virus is sentient and only comes out to play when new 'friends' appear.

Doug:
Mexico hasn't had ONE case, and neither has Canada. The only borders we need to concern ourselves with, at the moment, are the entry points at every United States airport!
It occurs to me that Mexico, which is protecting its population from overseas traffic, might find find that AMERICANS have decided to... ahem... holiday there for an indeterminate period of time. Makes sense to me.
