Fox news reporting one of the people who had contact with Mr Duncan now being taken to hospital with signs of Ebola.

Did they saw who it was? Wondering it if was one of the relatives in the apartment.

WHO update:
8000 infected
3857 deaths
2799 new cases in the last 21 days

http://time.com/3482193/ebola-cases-8000/

I was wondering when we would get a statistic higher than the 3400 deaths the news outlets have been reporting for the last week. As horrible as this number is, I suspect it is actually much, much higher.

There's supposed to be a video at this link: http://www.wfaa.com/videos/news/local/2014/08/26/14336082/

It's Pastor George Mason on behalf on Louise Troh.

I can't make it work for me.

Also, Frisco (near Dallas) person has walked into a Carenow facility and there'll be a conference

Oh, it's the Frisco one.

 

[Wyle_E_Coyote]

Where is Frisco? Are there two, one in Dallas and one in Frisco, or are they reporting the same person?

 

[SallyLu]

Part of Frisco is in Denton county and the rest in Collin County.

 

[LinasK]

So I'm gathering from you, my fellow WS posters that the person in Frisco was NOT one of Louise's family, since they were not in quarantine???
Nothing on CNN about it yet.

That is so far beyond wrong. Last I heard the authorities had NOT disinfected the apartment or the building that the nurse lived in but they DID manage to use batons against animal lovers to enter the building and seize/kill the nurse's dog.

Yeah cause if they had left the dog alone what might have happened exactly???? Dog had food and water, owners were in isolation, so NO ONE would have been exposed.

CBS is reporting contact with Duncan AND that he/she answered yes to recent travel to west Africa.

My daughter in law is a surgical technician at Baylor in Frisco.

And this would be right on schedule with the 8 to 10 day incubation period, which I understand to be the most common period of time from contact to symptoms.

I hope the people that CDC is following were told what to do if they start feeling ill. I can't believe the person in frisco walked into a care center where other patients, etc were waiting. I hope the CDC gave them direction on who to call and what action to take. JMO
