Second Dallas Patient ???

DALLAS (CN) - Texas wants a second patient "reasonably suspected of being infected" with Ebola put into protective custody in Dallas.
     Dr. David L. Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services, filed a motion for a temporary order of protective custody Monday in Dallas County Court.
     The unidentified patient, sued as "M.W.L.," is "reasonably suspected of being infected with a communicable disease (Ebola) that presents an immediate threat to public health," the 4-page motion states.
     "Further, movant has determined that proposed patient is a threat to himself or others if not immediately restrained. Further, sources charged with monitoring the proposed patient M.W.L. have observed the proposed patient failing or refusing to follow the written order of the Texas Department of State Health Services by leaving the premises of a medical facility contrary to medical directives, without permission and surreptitiously."
     Lakey claims that the proposed patient "meets the criteria authorized by the court" to issue such an order.
     "The sworn representations of the applicant, who is a credible person, state that the proposed patient is reasonably suspected of being infected with the communicable disease, Ebola, that presents a threat to public health; has failed or refused to follow the written or verbal orders of the Commissioner; and presents a substantial risk of harm to himself or others if no immediately restrained," according to the motion, filed Monday at 2 p.m.
     Lakey wants the patient kept under constant guard at Parkland Hospital, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas or any other appropriate facility.
     Presbyterian is treating Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian, who is the first confirmed domestic case of Ebola .
     The hospital has come under heavy criticism for releasing Duncan with only antibiotics on Sept. 26 and failing to flag his travel history for Ebola. He was hospitalized two days later when he developed symptoms consistent with the disease.
     Duncan flew to Dallas from West Africa in September to visit his family.
     Dallas County on Oct. 1 ordered Duncan's family into isolation at their Dallas apartment under armed guards.
     The family has been relocated to another home and the apartment was decontaminated over the weekend.

FRISCO (CSBDFW.COM) - An afternoon news conference has been called in Frisco, a suburb of Dallas, to discuss a possible second case of Ebola.

The patient claims to have had contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, referred to as Dallas ‘patient zero.’

It is not clear how the patient had contact with Duncan or if the patient was one of the about 50 people being monitored by federal, state and local health officials.

Complete Coverage Of Ebola In Dallas

The call came in shortly after noon from Care Now, 301 Main Street, where the patient was “exhibiting signs and symptoms of Ebola.”

CBS 11 has confirmed that the patient checked yes to one of the screening questions regarding travel to West Africa. The facility is in contact with the Centers for Disease Control and is holding everyone in the facility until receiving clearance from the CDC. The patient is being transported to a nearby hospital by Frisco firefighter-paramedics.

First responders are also examining clinical staff and other patients. It is unknown how many other people may have been exposed to the patient.

The news conference will be held at 3:30 pm at Frisco’s Central Fire Station. CBSDFW will stream it live.

This is a developing story. CBS 11 News will have more information as it is available.

I knew it was just a matter of time.This patient has a much better chance of survival though with blood transfusion and experimental drugs.
Dr.Shinn believes those with Tubercin/Welme may be the ticket. Check out this website on this drug. www.artec-inc.net Get the word to the CDC,and FDA please...

FAST TRACK TUBERCIN NOW!!!!

"and presents a substantial risk of harm to himself or others if no immediately restrained," according to the motion, filed Monday at 2 p.m."

Good grief. The cdc is inept. New flash -- if you want all the contacts -- talk to his gf and partner on crime. Duncan got off plane, went to aptmt, and they all probably partied. The gf is covering up personal contacts. Really quite astounding that they don't know what they're dealing with with this bunch.

" "... have observed the proposed patient failing or refusing to follow the written order of the Texas Department of State Health Services by leaving the premises of a medical facility contrary to medical directives, without permission and surreptitiously." "

Not sure if the first article is the homeless man. The homeless man was supposedly "low risk". According to that article, the person was "reasonably suspected of being infected with a communicable disease (Ebola) that presents an immediate threat to public health,". Hard to tell.

I think it's 2 different people.

Good job intheaticks.

Update at 2:49 p.m.: A vehicle cordoned off in the CareNow parking lot is registered to a Dallas County sheriff’s deputy who went into Thomas Eric Duncan’s apartment last week, according to a story that appeared on WFAA’s website earlier this week.

No way they are one of the fifty or so under observation, someone just gets in a car and goes to a urgent care center?....no way they were part of the fifty...this is a previously unknown contact....imo

It should be noted: This is not a confirmed case of Ebola. It is not known if this person did indeed have contact with Duncan, who died this morning at Presbyterian Hospital. And health officials have yet to say anything concerning the Frisco call.

This is like watching a damn train wreck!

I'm a little on edge....

The Centers for Disease Control told NBC News that it has not been contacted about any possible Ebola virus case in Frisco.

The man’s son said his father had been monitoring his temperature since last week and went to the clinic out of an abundance of caution, our Eva-Marie Ayala reports. “We don’t want to cause a panic,” Logan Monnig said. “There is almost no chance my dad would have Ebola.” The deputy told his family he had stomach pain and fatigue. Because the symptoms came after a visit to Duncan’s apartment, he decided to play it safe. “He spent very little time in the apartment,” his son said, “and he did not come in contact with Mr. Duncan or any bodily fluids.” "

OMG did i miss something or didn't Duncan complain oh stomach pain before they sent him home on the 24th?? I am quite sure i read that. And the spanish nurse complained of fatigue.
