The United States now has one confirmed case of Ebola, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday, marking the first domestic appearance of the deadly virus that has ravaged swaths of continental Africa.

The as-yet unidentified patient is located in Dallas, officials say, effectively confirming a statement issued on Monday by Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. The organization said that an unnamed patient was being tested for Ebola and had been placed in "strict isolation" due to the patient's symptoms and recent travel history.

In a press conference, CDC Director Tom Frieden said the patient in question had been traveling in Liberia, where he may have contracted the disease. He returned to the United States on the 20th of September, after which he sought care.

Frieden attempted to assuage concerns about Ebola's contagious effect, saying that the virus was only spread through direct contact, and was not airborne. He vowed that officials would contain a potential spread.

"It is certainly possible that someone who had contact with this individual...could develop Ebola in the coming weeks," Frieden said, but added that "there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here," Frieden said.

Because if we banned all travel from Africa we'd be called racist.

If I was going to contract ebola I'd rather be in the USA than Africa, that's for sure.

I just read that he lied on his medical papers before flying. That's how he got in.

Indeed. The oft-quoted mortality rate for Ebola of 70 - 90% is taken from the actual death rates in outbreaks in Africa, usually in areas with poor sanitation and even poorer healthcare. The actual death rate even if the entire western world was to be exposed would be far lower (although still higher than anything we've seen before).

Also... from the original article... are we really calling < 10,000 in a population of 1.1 billion a "swathe", let alone "swathes"?

Also, if anyone here does happen to find themselves coming down with an unlikely case of Ebola, I suggest the first thing you do is flood yourself with high-dose Vitamin C. Your doctor won't tell you this... might even rubbish the theory... but the fact is, high-dose Vit C is incredible effective in deactivating viruses and the only reason this isn't widely discussed in the medical community, is that less effective Big Pharma **** like "Tamiflu" makes some very rich people even richer.
