A Texan health worker who treated Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan before he died is also infected with the virus, according to a preliminary test. The unnamed worker, who is in a stable condition in an isolation ward, wore full protective gear while treating Duncan, a Dallas health official said. If confirmed, this is the first known transmission of Ebola on US soil. Responding to the news, a top federal health official said there had been a clear breach of safety protocol. Duncan, who caught the virus in his native Liberia, died on Wednesday. The current Ebola outbreak, concentrated in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, has resulted in more than 8,300 confirmed and suspected cases, and at least 4,033 deaths. Source BBC |

The federal government should screen all US citizens at our airports, same way they treated us when we were ravaged by the disease. |
