Texas Governor Rick Perry To Explain How (Despite 2nd Case) Ebola Is "Contained" - Live Feed
With rumors spreading (and seemingly confirmed) of a 2nd Ebola case in Dallas; Texas Governor Rick Perry is set to explain to the American public that it's all under control (despite the hospital discharging the Ebola victim 2 days ago) and the virus is contained (despite its potential spread to 12-18 more people)... Reuters further reports that the man being treated for Ebola in Texas traveled through Brussels en route to US according to the Liberian ministry of information. Rest assured Americans, Dance Moms will be on soon...
As KRJH reports,
A second person in Texas is being monitored for Ebola after coming into close contact with the first person in the U.S. diagnosed, according to health officials.
Gov. Rick Perry has scheduled a news conference at a Dallas hospital where a man with the first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. remains in isolation.

free market globalization is a bitch.
Team did not take proper precautions at first.. OH SHIT>
Man the woman in black looks nervous.
Good lord, these folks are parsing, ducking, dodging, weaving.
This is insanity.
WTF is wrong with our society?
A known virus with 50+% fatality rate and no vaccine or treatment regimen - and we let people fly in from infected regions!?
Is it because it was in Africa that we didn't take it seriously? Is it the old imperialism and prejudices?
We have a police state but can't keep people out?
Utter stupidity, insanity, and criminal corruption.
Christians Have Nothing to Fear from Ebola.
You realize that many of the West Africans who have been affected by this are Christian, right?
Is this a bad joke?
No, I think he means they are going to Jesus.
Never let a good crisis go to waste. There is no crisis to exploit if there is no crisis.
OIL.
Probably thinking that if it comes from Africa, it doesn't work.
Its what we have become Ebworthen, totally, completely, dysfunctional. Our financial markets, our school systems, our medical systems, our political systems, etc...
The police state supports commerce almost above all else. Death? There is a market for that!
Join the FSA and subvert from within.
@ebworthen:
What's wrong is that the people running the show are so terrified of the economy tanking and them being blamed for it that ALL other considerations are put in second place. Any plan that would involve a hit economically is ruled out. They've been living this way since the market crash in 1987, and they cannot imagine any other way of handling any problem now. There is nothing worse in their mind than an economic contraction attributable to them. Because they are so blinded by this fear, they deny the genuine threats around them in their desperate attempt to keep everything "normal". We are fucked.
"Just now. TX Gov Perry says some children may have had contact with Dallas Ebola patient."
Ok, that's it - now you're fucking with the children - this is where we draw the line; now we're gonna get serious. I can get this shit and nobody cares - let an illegal immigrunt 5 year old get it and watch the world end for libtards.

Five students in four different schools.
Never did I get so many cold's, flu's, and stomach bugs as when my kids entered elementary school.
Talk about a breeding ground for a virus.
Flippin' petri dishes those schools are.
Rick Perry is a life suppot system for a haircut.
Original Story: Hospital didn't ask about recent travel and patient didn't volunteer the information.
New Story: Hospital asked question and patient answered question but information wasn't passed on.
Original Story: Man is stopped just inside the door of the white house.
New Storey: Man is stopped somewhere inside the white house after taking a dump and fixing himself a snack.
Original Story: IRS apologizes for targeting Tea Party groups.
New Story: IRS didn't target anyone, won't answer questions, and unfortunately the hard drives of everyone involved are broken and the data was never backed up.
Is that Wonder Woman on stage left?

Since nobody in Texas could confuse CDC vans for CBP vans I'm sure everything will work out fine.
Well that was stupid. Everyone on the set was nervous as hell. They just made this a nightmare.
Dallas is maybe 48 hours away from a total screaming panic meltdown.
That was a big nothing. I can get more help and information from ZHers than I did from that news conference. We need to educate ourselves because tptb will be no help.
'All that information'? These folks are NOT being transparent AT ALL. Tell us who they are reaching out to. Tell us how they are quarantining Ebola suspects. Tell us what it would take to conclude they were wrong, and this virus is transmissable via the air.
Ebola / enterovirus ( diversion plan ) Why weren't the flights halted from allowing passengers from "Most Infected" region? Passenger was allowed to travel to Brussels, then US ...
Russia / Iran ongoing World War III
(watch middle east)
Can we turn OFF the auto-streaming "Live" broadcast that is now over? PLEASE?!?
Hellooooo, Tylers? Helloooooo?
You can do that yourself with your various Flash and JavaScript controls. That's what I do. Adds a few clicks the one time in a hundred I actually want to watch the stream. The benefit is, I have no idea what the Kardashians have been doing for the past few months.
The scary part is that people can be symptomatic and contagious while it still looks like a run of the mill flu. An infected person doesn't even have to be malicious or criminally negligent to accidentally infect others. And siunce there are so many jobs that don't grant any kind of PTO, especially *cough* food workers ... well, when I worked at a restaurant, giving people the choice between working through flu symptoms and not being able to feed their kids that month is a bit of a Sophie's Choice that's handed to millions of American üntermenschen.
Yeah I dropped a sick baby off at day care today. Really didn't want to. My job doesn't give sick days until you've been there for a year.
21 days is just not possible at all
So ZH has jumped on the MSM fearmongering bandwagon now, hyping the ebola scamidemic?
If anything deserves a bandwagon or hyping, its ebola..
Probably nothing to see here.....move along
"If anything deserves a bandwagon or hyping, its ebola."
Ok whatever.
It's true, you really are sheep.
Are you kidding? ZH has been way ahead of the curve on this scare-mongering.
Did you post your comment in the local blogs in Africa?
Africa loses tens of thousands every year to illnesses from unsanitary conditions (sewage in streets, etc).
Ebola is just one of those illnesses from unsanitary conditions. In another era it was called typhoid. In another era it was called something else.
Same illness, they just change the name when they need a new fear campaign (for more funding?)
And I'm not aware of sewage running down streets in America.
But that could change of course if/when the dollar collapses and WE drop to 3rd world conditions with our own sewage in streets.
Then yea, ebola and all that stuff might become a problem.
Let me get this. The central banks are buying up all the corporations on the markets, and all the property with an infinite amount of fiat and at the same time releasing eugenic bioweapons against the populations and nobody is doing anything about it. Where am I? This is not my beautiful Q99x2 with water flowing underground.
Is anyone, on ZH, from DFW? Can you tell us what's happening with the local population? If Ebola was near me, I would be very upset.
Well, I don't see my neighbors sitting in their rocking chairs on their porches with shotguns on their laps. I was just out panicking myself gassing up, watering up and boozing up. The most exciting part of shopping was fat old housewives fighting over 99 cents a pound peaches. No unusual activity at Costco, which you would suspect if there was a surreptitious panic going on. Better chance of getting murdered while being carjacked than getting ebolio.
Get a load of this:

DALLAS — The sister of the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States says he told relatives he notified officials the first time he went to the hospital that he was visiting from Liberia.
Mai Wureh says her brother, Thomas Eric Duncan, went to a Dallas emergency room on Friday and they sent him home with antibiotics. She says he said hospital officials asked for his Social Security number and he said that he didn’t have one because he was visiting from Liberia.
Duncan arrived in the U.S. on Sept. 20 to be with relatives in Dallas. He began to develop symptoms last Wednesday and sought care two days later. He was released and returned to the hospital and was admitted Sunday.
http://www.dallasnews.com/news/metro/20141001-sister-dallas-ebola-patien...
As per this source, the Ebola patient notified the hospital of his situation the FIRST time he went to the hospital, and someone still released him after giving him a prescription for antibiotics.
FUBAR.
Hospital workers had probably never heard of Liberia and assumed it was somewhere other than Africa. Geography is not a good subject for Americans.
They probably thought he was visiting from a small town in Texas, named "Liberia". Were the ER Receptionists fluent english speakers? Did they understand what he said? unlikely.
Don't know if either or both of you are joking but the geographical abilities of the average American beggar belief. People I knew from NH were amazed that there was a place called Berlin in Germany as well as NH. As for Baltimore.....
Well, just make sure your fourth grade kid doesn't crayon a picture of a gun or something. They'll have to take care of that, first.
Show me the data behind the assertion 'there is ZERO chance of transmission' before a patient is symptomatic.
Whether that proves to be true or not, it seems clear that the CDC is desperately trying to quell any potential panic.
With the massive equities bubble and the massive government debt bubble, and with Europe circling the bowl, you are right. A panic over this would get the Black Swan award.
Now he'll seal the border! Would not want any constituents to catch it........
This is what germ warfare looks like.
Wheat germ warfare? I hate that stuff!
Zero chance. Zero chance. If you say it enough, it must be true. THEY ARE LYING, THEY ARE NOT DOING EVERYTHING THEY REASONABLY CAN TO KEEP US SAFE. Fuck these bastards. They deserve death if this virus goes geometric in the US. Take names, remember faces.
I'll be sure to go after them as soon as the blood stops pouring out of my eyes
some .gov person used the word "contained"? RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!
this will be blamed on obambam in an official rnc talking points paper.
Recall that global terrorist Perry. Arrest him for treason.
It might be wise to get supplies before the cupboards are bare.
You won’t want to be involved in the Wal-Mart Melee when people bolt for their supplies.
Psych yourself up now to shoot those in-laws at the foot of your driveway.
the man being treated for Ebola in Texas traveled through Brussels en route to US
Was he buying some Treasury bonds???
JAMA. 2002;287(18):2391-2405. doi:10.1001/jama.287.18.2391.
This is kind of old but it's a pretty nice summary in JAMA if you're interested in the epidemiology.
Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses as Biological Weapons. Medical and Public Health Management.
Ten little Americans standin' in an airport line,
One toddled home and then there he began an infection of 320,000,000 people with a disease that carries a 70% fatality rate.
Big deal. 224,000,000 deaths max.
A cost savings.
The virus doesn't care what Rick Perry says.
Old School: Isolate............ Worked
New School: Who cares...... More money to be made fighting the "War on Ebola"
Also, about the rude self starting video's. No matter how interesring, how informative they may be, I will not watch any video I did not start.
It’s all that ‘new math’.
After reading Adobe's agreement on the new Flashplayer update, I decided not to load it and forego video forever. I can play non-Flash video, like HTML5. If you read the agreement for Flashplayer like I did, it will make you sicker than Ebola.

We've got the best medicine available. After all, didn't they give the guy antibiotics and send him home? And we all know how effective antibiotics are on a virus. Which just goes to show you they were winging it in the first place without a clue.
I am guessing it would not be a good idea to let your kids dress up as Zombies for Haloween this year.
IF you read the CDC they don't say it is NOT airborne. Ok, then.
"Wash your hands & wait for the vaccine?!?!"
With such an INCREDIBLY infantile strategy, all we need to do is get Africa to USE SOAP?!?!?
Are there ADULTs ANYWHERE to be found in this administration?!?!

I am a frequent traveler through London's Heathrow Airport. This is really earth's greatest international Airport Hub! A typical day in the flight lounges sees tens of thousands of people from all over Africa and Asia waiting for flights. Much of this is family related as the UK now houses millions of Africans, Asians and Arabs. I have been in arrivals when African planes are deboarding, the mass of humanity is something to see. Any infectious disease from Africa, Asia or Middle East would find Heathrow a perfect vector to transmit. And the UK itself is a ticking time bomb for Ebola. So many legal and illegals, plus tourists visas for family visits. Parts of London and the Midlands look more like central African cities than as any part of Europe. I'm just saying, look for London and the Uk for an outbreak of Ebola.
Sounds like an airport designed for a virus.
When the ebola outbreak started to really flame up I joked that McCain was calling for a no-fly zone over Liberia. Now that doesn't sound like such a bad idea....
Some guys ran a computer model of ebola spread outside Africa and ended up with the UK right in the cross-hairs.
Watch for it.
That's because the UK is like a mini-Africa now.
The UK now houses millions of Africans, Asians and Arabs.
Aren't there some White people there as well? I know, not in London, or Birmingham, or Leicester.....but what about out in the boondocks?
Hey Perry you fucking asshole. You let a fucking plane that originated from the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak land in your fucking state???? You piece of shit. You should be hung you smug bastard. You have endangered the citizens of your state and you should pay!!!!
This guy trying to quell a panic should cause a panic.
let's see, if I were a terrorist, hellbent on killing, I would ...
Just think about it....This patient was sick for 3 days before going to the hospital initially. How many healthcare workers came in contact with him or his blood/body fluids in the hospital....like the lab, the equipment? He was sent home on antibiotics for two days. He went to the store exchanged money. If he took mass transit the numbers of exposed just jumped dramatically. He went back to the hospital and was greeted and triaged before they put him on isolation. Oh shit things just got from bad to worse. Just what they wanted a medical martial law situation in the making. Agenda 21 anyone? Your rights will be recinded during the period of martial law. Hope everyones prepared....http://thebookgallery2014.blogspot.com/2014/08/beyond-ebola-preparation....
Yeah, sure it's ok....
The guy on the plane didn't have sex, or french kiss, or piss on, or shit on anyone else in that flight from Africa. No bodily fluid emissions.
No one can catch Ebola under those conditions. No one...
All is well....
Would you like to bet he didn't do any of those things? It's a very long flight, you know....
Imagine Ebola mutated to attack only politicians, lawyers, and lobbyists.....
That shit would be cured in a week, flat. A worldwide effort would be poured into it.
the man being treated for Ebola in Texas traveled through Brussels en route to US according to the Liberian ministry of information.
AND came in contact with thousand's before going to the hospital.
and he may not be first one infected on the plane load going to brussels
WTF - they quarantine pets, but entering the US from west Africa, they only tell you to be aware of symptoms - "Yo, Joe I'm soppozed to tell them about simptums, what's that?"....Jesus Mary, we're doomed, I tell ya.....
Texas has a problem. I'm still not ready to panic.
We'll do better next time! And this is those damn nee- democrats' fault.
Rick Perry isn't our bff any more?
"Wash your hands & wait for the vaccine?!?!"

Why are we listening to that retard? I only listen to retards with big asses or big dicks.
If Rick Perry says we're ok that's good enough for me. /sarc
If anyone wonders how this event should play out (to serve justice), I suggest you download the old TV series titled "Jeremiah" and watch the first season and the first two episodes of the second season.
To be clear what I'm saying, what happens in the first two episodes of the second season is how events should play out (to serve justice)... not what happens before the series starts (the background of the series and the first season). But you need to watch the whole first season before the second season episodes, otherwise you won't know enough to understand what I'm saying. Plus, you won't enjoy it 1% as much.
Back before I moved out of the USSA, this TV series was available on hulu. Not sure whether you can watch it on hulu anymore or not, but better to download via torrents anyway (no commercials).
The series very well illustrates the attitude of those predators who call themselves government, both with regard to "care for the people", and later their long term goals... which are resolved so perfectly (for us) in the first two episodes of the second season. I can think of very few hours of television that were more enjoyable to watch. Those of you who watched the series know what I mean.
PS: For those who need motivation to take actions to protect yourself, just watch the series. Excellent series, albeit cut short (2 seasons).
If we can't contain a traveler borne ebola outbreak that means the US government and medical establishment is inferior to Nigeria's:
