The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed the first case of Ebola in the United States Tuesday.

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

Presbyterian Hospital says it's taking measures to keep its doctors, staff and patients safe.

The CDC will host a press conference at its Atlanta headquarters at 5:30 p.m., ET.

Ebola Case Confirmed In Dallas http://b4in.org/q9Tx

Other than confirming the case in Dallas CDC officials are being tight lipped about the details. If I remember correctly this patient walked in to the hospital in Dallas a couple of days ago with the symptons and recent travel history to West Africa. How many people may he have infected since is his return is the question on my mind.

We now know the facts contained in Ebola Safety Data Sheets that the media has been lying about this plague being airborne, and we also know from the same data sheets that it can live outside of the body for days at a time, on dry or wet surfaces!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified the media at 3:32 p.m. Tuesday that Dallas has the first diagnosed Ebola case in the nation. The federal agency scheduled a media briefing at 4:30 p.m. from its headquarters in Atlanta. Dallas County officials are expected to participate.

An unnamed patient at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas was placed in isolation while awaiting test results for the dreaded virus. Apparently, the patient had traveled recently to a West African country, where the disease is spreading, and later developed symptoms that suggested Ebola.
