About time, this will allow them to impose legal travel restrictions on the health care workers who came in contact Mr. Duncan. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/health/D...Ebola-Health-Care-Workers-279336932.htmlDallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said Dallas County Medical Director Dr. Christopher Perkins will sign a control order that will follow the minimum guidelines outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, blocking those being monitored for Ebola symptoms from using public transportation, including buses and airliners. The control order would give the county legal authority to restrict the movement of those being monitored for the potentially deadly virus.

Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

Don't they become eligible for federal funds if they declare a county "disaster" and it gets approved by the feds?
That's what they always do with bad storms and such. If so, you can't blame the county for wanting their piece of the pie, I suppose.

I heard on the news that the E.R. room for that hospital is virtually empty and the other area hospitals are filling up because of it.
Lets hope it doesn't get into a school

I'm confused. Miles58 has already told us that this sort of chit can't happen in America.

The radio said this morning that the Belton TX school is suspending classes for now.

This will continue to grow and panic will set in. How do you think this "panic" will affect turnout on election day, if there is an election day?
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

If Obama denied funds for Texas under the disaster declaration for drought and all the wildfires scourging the state when Gov. Perry requested them, then I can imagine he's just grinning as any Dallas Co. request comes in. But, then again, DFW area is a strong democrat nest... Who knows?

I'm better when I move.

Be careful what you ask for. This could possibly be one step away from the dreaded martial law.
Just sit back and watch the effect this has on local supply shelves.

how can a medical professional get on a plane?
then I hear Dr. Nancy Snyderman was under quarantine and went to a restaurant for take out food
I think these people have an obligation - moreso than the general public - to treat this threat with the precautions necessary.
The hospital itself is apparently negligent - after watching the staff give the news crew a tour of the hospital and how they are prepared to deal with it - now we hear the other side of the story.....................
a lot of reasonable people in Dallas objected to the plan Dallas Presbyterian put into to effect. No mandatory training for staff? Mandating minimum standard protective wear? No mandatory seclusion or travel restrictions for close-contact staff? No warning alarm system for the EMR when a symptom cluster presents?
they simply didn't take this threat seriously.

The reality is that no one is going to trust that hospital in the short term - and you have to wonder how many patients are going to receive inadequate care because of the perceived threat of ebola - by either not going to the hospital or making decisions to go to other hospitals.
As for the hospital......
The patient wasn't admitted immediately - and the guy was a poster child for Ebola threat, he ultimately died and at least 2 nurses are now infected, one displaying gross negligence by getting on a damn airplane.
Honestly, can you imagine a hospital doing any worse?

Again, the lady called the CDC multiple times to inquire if she should fly home. SHE WAS TOLD TO FLY BY THE CDC DESPITE HAVING A LOW-GRADE TEMP.
