First Case of Ebola discovered in Texas

A man who landed in the international Dallas Airport on September 20 has been diagnosed with Ebola. The man had spent some time in Liberia and had flown home to Texas, he was sent to The Center for Disease Control and officially diagnosed with the Ebola virus. This man is the first case of Ebola in the United States since the outbreak in Africa. Hospitals in the United States knew that the virus would sooner or later make its way out of Africa. They are prepared and ready for the cases with the proper treatment and containment labs.
The man was visiting relatives in Liberia and was even screened for the virus before boarding the flight. Since Ebola can't infect or be detectible until symptoms arrive. Since the patient didn't have symptoms during the flight there is no way that he could have infected the other citizens on the flight. The virus is only spread by direct fluid contact between patients. The man was not diagnosed but only after living normally for a few days in which he could have spread the disease. A C.D.C team has been dispatched to investigate the case and track down any possible cases of infection. Dr. Freiden, a leading doctor on the case states that "I have no doubt that we will stop this in its tracks in the US." President Obama was notified by Dr. Freiden once the case was diagnosed. The Obama administration has been working to contain the public scare by twitter and Facebook. They continue to repeat that case has been stopped and that their is no need to worry about everyday life. The White House then released a statement saying "America has the best doctors and public health infrastructure in the world, and we are prepared to respond to Ebola.” In seeing this I fully believe in the health system of the United States and I believe that they will have no problem in containing this small case and continuing to shut down the virus from entering the states.
