BREAKING: What Just Happened In Dallas Makes It The Epicenter Of Ebola In America
Western Journalism
Another case of Ebola confirmed in Texas.
A health care worker who provided care for Thomas Eric Duncan, the Ebola victim who recently died in Dallas, has contracted the virus. The individual reported a fever Tuesday and was immediately isolated at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, state health officials said in a statement.
Via NBC News:
“Health officials have interviewed the latest patient to quickly identify any contacts or potential exposures, and those people will be monitored,” the Texas Department of State Health Services said. “The type of monitoring depends on the nature of their interactions and the potential they were exposed to the virus.” It is the third case diagnosed in the U.S.
The CDC described the latest case involving a health care worker as a “serious concern.” In a statement, it added: “As we have said before, because of our ongoing investigation, it is not unexpected that there would be additional exposures.”
Meantime, co-workers of Nina Pham, the Dallas nurse who contracted Ebola from Duncan, say they worked for days without proper protective gear — a claim that contradicts what health officials have previously said.

Could this be Texas pay back for bucking the government ? The first to try and succeed from the union ? Bucking gun control ? Pointing out that the boarders have been opened ? Wanting to declare their own money system ? Philip Morse bucked them over cigarette taxes . Now they have been bombarded with all kind of problems . It just kind of looks strange that one of Texas main cities have been effected . This could possibly bring in marshall law and be used to destroy a large population of Texas And take over those that bucked the government ! Something to think about !
“The first to try and succeed from the Union”? Ever heard of the Civil War? And how did they succeed, if they are still one of the 50 states? Or which office did they replace? (Perhaps you meant “secede”?
“Pointing out that the boarders have been opened”? How do you open a boarder? I know how to open a boarding house, and I know that pirates boarded ships in an effort to pillage… but that doesn’t seem to be what you’re saying.
“Now they have been bombarded with all kinds of problems” — well, yes, Texas has some problems, but I would consider its problems to be much less than those of some other states’ (California and Michigan among them) problems. We’ve got a strong housing market, growing jobs, low unemployment, a legislature that meets for only six months out of very two years, etc.
“It just kind of looks strange that one of Texas [sic] main cities have [sic] been effected [sic]” 1) Wouldn’t it make sense for a major city to be “effected”, particularly one with one of the busiest airports in the country? More people, more travel, etc. I would sure not expect the first outbreak of any disease to be in SmallTown, USA — would you, really?
“Texas” should use the possessive (“a city in Texas”, “Texas’ “)
“Effected” means brought about. “affected” means influenced by. Do you really mean that Ebola somehow brought about or created one of Texas’ main cities?
By the way, the phrases “kind of”, “sort of” and similar, always distract from the strength of your sentence.
“This could possibly bring in marshall law…” Well, I hope the Marshals enforce the law, with our without Ebola. But if you mean a declaration that puts an area under military control and limits our rights under the constitution in times of crisis… perhaps you fear martial law?
Something to think about: if you want people to take your thoughts seriously, you need to learn to express them in the language of the land.
