Thomas Eric Duncan, a Texas man that has been in West Africa just got back home to Texas. When he was getting off the plane he wasn't feeling to good so he waited a couple days and then went to and got tested for Ebola. He was tested positive. He was the first American that has been diagnosed in the United States. There is still no cure for this deadly disease.
Many people across the United States have been diagnosed with Ebola within this past week. People have feared the spread of Ebola and fear touching could lead to the outbreak disease. Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of the Department of Preventive Medicine at Vanderbilt University, stated this week that sneezing and coughing are not even likely ways of catching the disease. Dr. William Schaffner stated that close contact with an already sick person and through bodily fluids.
This disease is serious as it often cases fatal disease in not only humans but monkeys, gorillas, etc. This hasn't been proven so it appears unknown when it is first outbroken. A person who gets this is more than likely infected because of an infected animal they have touched. It's transmitted to others through needles or blood. Some of the symptoms are flu like and some people could witness a rash, sore throat, chest pain, bleeding inside and outside of the body. You may not get these symptoms right away, it can be within 2-21 days after being exposed. It's not understood as to why some people can recover and others can't. *My cousin lives four hours from Dallas where this is taking place. http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/resources/pdfs/ebola-factsheet.pdf
