Breaking: Sheriff’s Deputy Who Was Forced to Enter Ebola Apartment Falls Ill

CDC faces embarrassment over potential second Ebola case

---

One of the Sheriff’s Deputies who was forced to enter the apartment where Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan stayed before he was taken to hospital has fallen ill.

A statement issued by the City of Frisco, a suburb of Dallas, suggests that a second potential Ebola victim has been taken to the Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, the same facility where Duncan stayed before his death this morning.

The CDC claims “the patient did not have direct contact with Duncan and he was not one of the 48 people being monitored by federal, state and local health officials.”However, according to a Dallas Morning News report, the individual was one of the Sheriff’s Deputies who was forced to enter Ebola victim Duncan’s apartment last week. Duncan’s family told the media that they received no advice from the CDC on how to go about cleaning the apartment and it was a number of days before a professional Hazmat team arrived to clean the building.

“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,” states the report, with NBC 5 also confirming that “the person in the ambulance is an employee with the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department.”

Confirmation that the second potential Ebola victim is a Sheriff’s deputy who entered Duncan’s apartment would represent a huge embarrassment for the CDC and Sheriff Lupe Valdez, who gave the order to send the men into the apartment unprotected to enforce a court order.

As we reported last week, Dallas County Sheriff’s Association President Christopher Dyer criticized the decision, suggesting that the Sheriff’s deputies and their families were unhappy at having to potentially expose themselves to the virus.

“They’re very concerned,” Dyer said. ”Their families are concerned. You’ve got to go home and tell your spouse, ‘Hey, I was just inside this house where a guy had Ebola.’”

“My anger is really with the feds,” Dryer added. “Let’s move that family. Let’s move everybody out of that building. I don’t care if it’s overkill. Let’s do overkill. I don’t think sending a few deputies in there is the right course of action.”

Infowars spoke with the CDC last week who said that the apartment in which Ebola victim Duncan stayed should have been cleaned right away.
Images taken from a news chopper also showed unprotected workers cleaning the sidewalk with a pressure washer near Duncan’s apartment where eyewitnesses said he had vomited before entering an ambulance.

Yesterday Spanish Nurse Now Ebola Scare Sends Dallas County Sheriff’s Deputy To Hospital

FRISCO (CSBDFW.COM) - First responders have transported a Dallas County Sheriff’s deputy to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital to be monitored for Ebola as a precaution.
The patient, Michael Monnig, was transported from a Frisco Care Now facility where he was complaining of “stomach issues,” according to sources.
According to CBS 11’s Andrea Lucia, Monnig’s children said he woke up this morning feeling sore and a little nauseated.
“We were told by federal officials, county officials that you would have to come in direct contact with Duncan or direct contact with bodily fluids, and he did not,” said Monnig’s son, Logan, about the possibility of his dad contracting Ebola.
Logan said it’s a very scary time for his family, but they do not expect that his dad will test positive for the virus. Monning was not one of the 48 people being monitored by federal, state and local health officials because he never had direct contact with the patient.
Monnig did enter the apartment where Duncan stayed after Duncan had been admitted to the hospital. “He was in the apartment for 30 minutes, which we were told is no chance to contact the virus,” said Logan.

The clinic and the City of Frisco initially reported that Monnig was “exhibiting signs and symptoms of Ebola.”

First responders transported Monnig to the hospital from the Care Now, located at 301 W. Main Street in Frisco. When Monnig arrived at the clinic, he told workers he felt nauseous and recently had contact with Duncan’s family. Immediately, the clinic notified health officials, sealed off and decontaminated the clinic, screened 14 people inside and sent Monnig by ambulance to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, the same hospital where Duncan was admitted. Duncan died earlier in the day, after spending more than 10 days in isolation at that same hospital.
Frisco’s fire chief Mark Piland said Monnig is being treated “out of an abundance of caution” and the response was appropriate based on Monnig’s symptoms and his indirect contact with the Ebola victim.
Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas confirmed the patient’s arrival to the Emergency Room in statement, which reads in part, “Right now, there are more questions than answers about this case. Our professional staff of nurses and doctors is prepared to examine the patient, discuss any findings with appropriate agencies and officials. We are on alert with precautions and systems in place.” The hospital is still admitting and caring for other patients at this time.
Frisco firefighters-paramedics were decontaminated by Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital staff in accordance with CDC guidelines. Frisco is working with health officials from Denton and Collin counties as well as the Texas Department of Emergency Management.
In 2008, CBS 11’s JD Miles did a story about Monnig in 2008. At the time, he was a recruit trainer, who was fired for an on-duty injury. After the story aired, he was reinstated.
