NBC has confirmed with the Dallas county health and human services that 80 people came into contact with the Dallas Ebola patient or his family.

Director Zachary Thompson said these 80 people were not in close contact, but they did have some kind of contact with or exposure to the patient.

Separately, Texas health officials have ordered four family members who had contact with the Dallas Ebola patient to stay home and not have visitors to prevent the potential spread of disease.

The order, hand delivered to Thomas Eric Duncan's relatives Wednesday night by Texas Department of Health Services officials, legally requires the family to comply until at least Oct. 19, when the incubation period has passed and the family is no longer at risk of having the disease.

On one hand, a little depopulation wouldn't be so bad for the Earth at the moment and remaining population.

Honestly, we could ride these fossil fuels for awhile longer if we cut some fat around the edges.

especially the fatty fats, they eat more than their fair share anyway

This is going to sound like a dumb question, but he wasn't present signs of Ebola when he arrived here, to prevent this from happening again why don't we temporarily suspend international travel? I know you have to come in close contact with bodily fluids of the infected, but don't you think the media is downplaying this epidemic just a little bit?

Would you guys like to volunteer?

I mean dude, you know if it happens it happens. It would technically be better for humanity if a lot of us were erased right now, but we're talking here hundreds of millions if not billion. As it is we're reaching unsustainable levels of consumption. I'm not a fat though.

Dude, we got a new fungus that eats plastic, synthetic leaves, and chicken eggs without needing chickens. It's going to be okay. Say goodbye to lions, tigers, and bears; say hello to sex androids, VR, and food printers.

An American cameraman freelancing for NBC News in Liberia has tested positive for Ebola and will be flown back to the United States for treatment. The freelancer was hired Tuesday to work with NBC News Chief Medical Editor and Correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman on assignment in the Liberian capital Monrovia, reporting on the Ebola outbreak. He came down with symptoms Wednesday, immediately quarantined himself and sought medical advice. He tested positive Thursday. NBC News is withholding his name at his family's request.

It can't be the end of the world yet I have so many games still to play and FFXV hasn't come out....

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2014-10-02 23:07

Agreed. My steam queue doesn't allow room for world ending virus at this time.

**Waraji** · 2014-10-02 23:17

Theres no escaping this outbreak. We've all caught it before, and we are not immune still.

**Cantih** · 2014-10-03 00:23

Though, should things take a turn, if you stay inside and start on that backlog, you might just make it through!
Incoming hikikomori new world order.

A patient with Ebola-like symptoms is being treated at Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C., a hospital spokesperson confirmed late Friday morning.

The patient had traveled to Nigeria recently.

That person has been admitted to the hospital in stable condition, and is being isolated and tested. The medical team is working with the CDC to determine whether the patient has Ebola.
