The Centers for Disease Control sign is seen at its main facility in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday confirmed the first case of Ebola has been diagnosed in the United States.

Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas officials said in a statement earlier Monday 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.

At least 3,091 people have died from Ebola since the West African outbreak was first identified in Guinea six months ago.

	Wow. I was about to ask everyone here why we weren't seeing cases popping up outside of Africa, but I guess we are now, and presumably there will be more.
	Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts.

	Well contain it then. Probably not a lot of hope. Defcon 5 means to prepare for home isolation. If we go to 5, prepare.

	For those of not in the US, could you post Defcon levels in the Ebola forum? I might be Canadian but I lived in Co Springs through 9/11 and have a healthy respect for what the levels mean.
