Does this news frighten you?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Tuesday that the man who is the first confirmed case of Ebola in America had originally come to the hospital the previousThursday due to an unknown illness. The man was then sent home with a prescription for antibiotics and spent three days out in the general public before coming back to the Dallas hospital Sunday, when officials confirmed he had indeed contracted the Ebola virus. CDC Director Thomas Frieden said that the agency is trying to track down anyone who had been in contact with the man from Thursday to Sunday. “There is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here,” Frieden said confidently at a press conference at CDC Headquarters in Atlanta. Frieden continued: “Ebola doesn’t spread before someone gets sick, and he didn’t get sick until four days after he got off the airplane. So we don’t believe there was any risk to anyone on the flight at that time.” |
