Ebola in Texas.

[colorider]

What really pisses me off is this guy from Ebola Land goes in sick and does not tell them where he is from or give them any hint that geeeee, I may have ebola being that my entire village is infected with it and I just left there. Add to that the fact he is from there and is visiting the U.S. He must "look" and speak like he is not from here and from Ebola country. Maybe ask him where he is from? Where he has been? Total lack of precaution. I don't understand why we even let people from the Ebola outbreak areas enter the U.S without an ebola test. . Should be standard at this point. I'm not paranoid, just think this situation was totally fumbled. Oh, and Hello John. How's Texas treating you this week!?

FIFY.

Many reports now saying he DID inform the hospital staff at his first visit of his travel history. Sounding more and more like the supposedly prepared and trained hospital screwed up.

Oh, and the ambulance that transported him to the hospital for his 2nd visit remained in use for two days after until they got the positive test back. Sounds like the paramedics have been isolated as a precaution.

+1 and then some.

And now they've got one of Ebola Man's family members in isolation because they too may have it.

The patient, a man, walked into an emergency room at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on September 26. A nurse asked him about his recent travels while he was in the emergency room, and the patient said he had traveled to Africa, said Dr. Mark Lester, executive vice president of Texas Health Resources.
But that information was not "fully communicated" to the medical team, Lester said.

The man, who had flown from Liberia to the United States about a week earlier, underwent basic blood tests, but not an Ebola screening, and was sent home with antibiotics, said Dr. Edward Goodman with Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.
Two days later, on September 28, the man returned to the facility, where it was determined that he probably had Ebola. He was then isolated. He tested positive for the virus Tuesday, health officials said.

I'm with you 100%, Andy. The local news last night was full of, "Of course we asked him if he'd traveled from somewhere recently. Oh wait...maybe we didn't. We were supposed to so yeah, we did. No, maybe we didn't." It's a silly friggin' mess. Nobody can get their story straight.

And Howdy, Andy! Texas is treating me ok this week. My neighbors one street over just had their modular home burn to the ground an hour ago but otherwise it's a nice quiet hot dry day in rural Texas.
