*LEAGUE CITY, Texas -- League City officials say a patient's symptoms and recent travel to Africa forced the precautionary closure of an emergency clinic.

Based on the countries the patient recently visited, the Centers for Disease Control believes there is very little to zero risk of exposure to Ebola, however.

Police said League City Emergency Services personnel treated the situation with every precaution and worked closely with Galveston County Health officials to transport the League City resident to UTMB for testing.Police said League City Emergency Services personnel treated the situation with every precaution and worked closely with Galveston County Health officials to transport the League City resident to UTMB for testing.

A medical worker said a male patient who had recently traveled from Africa was at the facility and "exhibiting symptoms that could be consistent with Ebola."

Police and a hazmat team closed off the facility and immediate area, and the Galveston County Health District was notified.

Wondering if this Ebola Patient will disappear, like some of the other patients in other states? Something strange is going on with these Ebola cases!

This stuff happening in Texas has to stop. Is there more of it here or is it just that it gets out in the news?

Gov. Perry really did tweak TPTB's noses... I mean Joan Rivers said what most people thought any ways and a month later she was dead so... (This is where I'd insert a tinfoil hat emjoi)

Does it make anyone else angry that we are allowing travel from Africa because we don't want to hurt their economies but just one person with symptoms can do this -> Police and a hazmat team closed off the facility and immediate area, and the Galveston County Health District was notified.


How much is it going to cost the US? Especially if you consider 100-150 passengers a day are coming in from those areas.

What a stupid leadership of this country to allow that.
