The CDC just confirmed the first case of Ebola in the United States, according to Reuters. The patient was placed in "strict isolation" at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas earlier today.


A patient in a Dallas hospital has been confirmed to have the Ebola virus, News 8 has learned.

In a statement issued Tuesday night, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas said the patient was admitted based on symptoms and "recent travel history."

The hospital, located at Greenville Avenue and Walnut Hill Lane in northeast Dallas, said it's complying with all recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and the Texas Department of Health to ensure the safety of other patients and medical staff.
A press conference to discuss the case is scheduled for 5:30 pm.

At least 3,091 people have died from Ebola since the West African outbreak was first identified in Guinea six months ago. Last week, the CDC warned that between 550,000 and 1.4 million people in West Africa could be infected with Ebola by January 2015.
News of the virus' appearance sent the share prices of key biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies skyrocketing in after-hours trading, in anticipation that large drug companies may benefit from creating a vaccine. BioCryst Pharma shot up 15 percent in after-market trading, while Tekmira soared by nearly 17 percent.

Now this is getting interesting.

USA over to you ? After playing double standards with Nigeria on security. Anyway russia would still supply the military hardware we need Ojare. I wish america the best of LUCK as they battle Ebola. THEY ARE GOING TO NEED IT ! **modified** very soon apologists will come here & WEEP how tinubu's püpppêt- fashola saved Nigeria from Ebola. It was a teamwork (FG&states) the REVOLUTION we need should start by tinubu giving lagosians back the tens of estates/lands he has penned under masked names, which is their right to live anywhere devoid of land grabbers/speculators who offer a meagre alternatives in luxury flats which the middle class cant buy.

Let us see how they will handle it

I trust USA unlike we africans,they wil contain it....let me see those saying ebola is white men's lab invention to reduce our population.

And so it begins....

Panic because thousands of people are dying in West
Africa, not because one person contacted Ebola in the US
I'm sure the first confirmed case of ebola in the
US will receive a sane and measured treatment and positive media coverage.

I hope they won't put the blame on Nigerians

I don't wanna say thank u God!Some white fools abuse black guys like"go back to africa and die of ebola"......very annoying let dem feel the heat a bit!

What goes around comes around
