Official: 5 kids had contact with Ebola patient

DALLAS (AP) — Authorities say five students who had contact with a man diagnosed with Ebola in Dallas are being monitored but are showing no symptoms of the disease.

Dallas Independent School District Superintendent Mike Miles said Wednesday that the students were in school this week after possibly being in contact with the man over the weekend.

But he says they're showing no symptoms and are now being monitored at home. Health officials say the disease is only spread by people with symptoms, such as diarrhea or vomiting.

As an added precaution, Miles says additional health and custodial staff will be at the five schools the students attend.

The unidentified man is the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. He's been in isolation at a Dallas hospital since Sunday.

DALLAS — Health officials are closely monitoring a possible second Ebola patient who had close contact with the first person to be diagnosed in the U.S., the director of Dallas County's health department said Wednesday.

All who have been in close contact with the man officially diagnosed are being monitored as a precaution, Zachary Thompson, director of Dallas County Health and Human Services, said in a morning interview with WFAA-TV, Dallas-Fort Worth.

"Let me be real frank to the Dallas County residents: The fact that we have one confirmed case, there may be another case that is a close associate with this particular patient," he said. "So this is real. There should be a concern, but it's contained to the specific family members and close friends at this moment."

The director continued to assure residents that the public isn't at risk because health officials have the virus contained.

On Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed a patient at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas was the first person to be diagnosed in the United States with the Ebola virus.

Thomas Eric Duncan had left Liberia on Sept. 19 and arrived in Dallas the following day.

On Sept. 26, he sought treatment at the hospital after becoming ill but was sent back to the northeast Dallas apartment complex where he was staying with a prescription for antibiotics. Duncan's sister, Mai Wureh, said he notified health-care workers that he was visiting from Liberia when they asked for his Social Security number and he told them he didn't have one.

Two days later, he was admitted to the hospital with more critical symptoms, after requiring an ambulance ride.

Duncan, whose condition was upgraded to serious from critical Wednesday, was in contact with at least five children from four schools before he was hospitalized, said Superintendent Mike Miles of Dallas Independent Schools. Each of those children have been kept home from school and are under precautionary monitoring.

"They are consulting with the county on any additional action that may need to be taken during the course of investigation," district spokesman Jon Dahlander said in a statement. "This is part of routine emergency operations during a health incident in the county. This is same protocol taken during things like flu and tuberculosis cases."

More than a half a dozen CDC employees arrived in Dallas after news of the diagnosis broke. The CDC and Dallas County are working together in what they call a contact investigation.

FUTURE: More Ebola cases in USA likely, health experts say
3 REASONS: Why an Ebola outbreak in the USA is highly unlikely
PERSPECTIVE: Looking at Ebola's risks
MARKETS: Ebola fears infect travel stocks

Anyone who had contact with the patient, including emergency room staff, will be under health officials' observation for 21 days. If any of those being monitored show symptoms, they'll be placed in isolation.

The three paramedics who transported the patient in Dallas are temporarily off duty and among those under observation. They have tested negative for the virus and are being restricted to their homes.


Stanley Gaye, president of the Liberian Community Association of Dallas-Fort Worth, said the 10,000-strong Liberian population in North Texas is skeptical of the CDC's assurances because Ebola has ravaged their country.

"We've been telling people to try to stay away from social gatherings," Gaye said at a community meeting Tuesday. Large get-togethers are a prominent part of Liberian culture.

MONDAY: Dallas hospital isolates possible Ebola patient

Ebola symptoms can include fever, muscle pain, vomiting and bleeding and can appear as long as 21 days after exposure to the virus. The disease is not contagious until symptoms begin, and it takes close contact with bodily fluids to spread.

"We don't want to get a panic going," said Roseline Sayon, the association's vice president. "We embrace those people who are coming forward. Don't let the stigma keep you from getting tested."

Texas Health Director David Lakey, accompanied by Gov. Rick Perry, said the state has been preparing for the possibility of the virus landing here since August.

"This is a very sophisticated city, a very sophisticated hospital, ... and the chances of it being spread are very, very scarce," Lakey said.

Stigma present over stepping forward to be tested?

Life and death go beyond stigma...

Welcome to basic 101 of how to turn a populous against each other, instead of against who is responsible...

Management is always responsible for what occurs, that is why they are called management...

and contact can kill you in less than 72 hours?

and this is spoken of with great swelling calm and humor...

that which laugh dies while laughing.

Government is no different than a McDonalds manager, they are paid to overseer, all activities and happenings, to ensure optimal experience for ALL...

For far too long, we have management blaming those who management has it self trained and deemed experts, hence management has the perfect alibi at all times.

How could any plane incoming America, not have already been told and notified of critical danger of any on boarding "Liberia" passenger at boarding, since the most of Liberia was put on lockdown, ie, "marital law", so how could any official of any caring studious "management group" not be immediately making aware and alert all involved who are at the forefront of ALL all incoming passengers...

How could any airport or airlines not be aware of the Ebola threat as it has been globally broadcast?

But then, only fools don't recognize the headlines in most all countries read the same, showing they come from the same central ONE source, as it is hard to get two people off the street to agree on anything, but yet hundreds of newspapers report the same few happenings on earth, when there are beyond trillions of happenings on earth each day, but only about the same 20 or 30 happenings are reported far and wide by all publications?

Eaters follow the Feeders...

then the feeders despise the eaters for being so stupid, so destroy them and bring in new eaters.

That which feed the masses be not the same as the swine who are grateful to be fed.

If there is one case in America, no matter where, the entire country is exposed, except to the uncompassionate who can be blinded by selfishness and not see what shall be coming to their own town next.

for it is the plan, if we have smart wise leaders, and we do, lest we think we are being guided in this human plight by leaders who are idiots without a plan, but even the lesser intelligence beings such as the seagulls follow the trawler with PLANS on eating, for the trawler owner and management team always throws overboard the undesirable catch of the day, the catch that brings not the most desirable monetary gain, so than how much more does the trawler owner and their trusted "management team" PLAN DILIGENTLY for the daily voyage and leave nothing to chance, not even a stitch of any weather or sea conditions, (news broadcast) for their own lifestyle TOTALLY depends on it, since they have fine fabulous lives of glamour and wealth and fine paradise amenities, of many a lady and servant in waiting, which they wish no doubt to EVER come to an end, so be not deceived, for it is ALL PREPLANNED what doth happen, which shall be sold for consumption or to serve the masters, and which shall be thrown to the masses of eaters.

detaildon noted....

for what is be what exist all around, which is what be spoken by all concerns, as real, added together, no concerns or feelings or words deemed as insignificant or stupid, and such cannot be spoken in but a few mere words to that which deem their own reality and brain as the tell of all that is real and reality to all brains who feel and speak around it self...

i am a believer in the feeder and the eater, but the feeder deem it self always superior to that which it feed, and i am as well a believer in the feeder, that does not realize how smart the feeder is, and how it planned and makes it self the designated feeder, to gain wealth for it self and piers, so forgive me if i do not speak unwordy, but wordy is only a term for those who deem any who do speak should speak as it's own SINGLE brain wish to hear, and those who speak with those words, do not care about ALL, only some, who are as them self, and deem all else, as ignorant and stupid.
