Texas Town Quarantined After Family Of Five Test Positive For The Ebola Virus by godello: 2:03am On Oct 15, 2014 |
The small town of Purdon, Texas has been quarantined after a family of five tested positive for the Ebola virus. Purdon is located just 70 miles from Dallas, Texas, and the hospital that has cared for both American Ebola patients, Thomas Eric Duncan, and Texas nurse, Nina Pham. It has been verified that Jack Phillips returned from Dallas last week while on business. Shortly after arriving home, Mr. Phillips began exhibiting flu-like symptoms, but did not immediately go to the hospital. At this time his wife and children began showing similar symptoms, which provoked the family to get tested. Doctors then learned that Phillips, his wife, and three children had contracted Ebola haemorrhagic fever. Facts About Purdon, Texas And The Ebola Quarantine 133 residents Unincorporated community in Navarro County Originally Known As Belle Point Ebola is spread through contact with bodily fluids of an infected individual Ebola has a 90% casualty rate in areas such as West Africa.

The individual wished to remain anonymous for their own safety, and told us the following, “As far as we know, Jack Phillis had not come in contact with neither the late Thomas Duncan or Mrs. Phan. It is perhaps possible that he was within a close proximity of the infected parties, but it is otherwise unknown as to how Phillips was infected with Ebola.

As of 10 Pm, Oct. 13th area has been surrounded with police and CDC officials. Communications with the locals seems to have been cut off, and press is currently awaiting an official statement from local authorities.

Is it likely that a new strain of Ebola - a mutated one that is airborne has landed in America? Ebola is becoming weirder by every passing day. |

The way the United States government handles this issue makes me believe these "Ebola as birth control scheme" conspiracy theorists. In my opinion, they don't seem to be doing enough. I might be wrong though. |

I had always said that until this virus really affects the West, they wouldn't be on their toes to approve those drugs that were tested earlier. Seems I was wrong, I'll just wait and see their response to this outbreak though |

It was the invisible hand of God that made the difference despite several blunders by Some which could have caused further spread of the disease God kept Us and as a Nation we are say Baba God we thank you o , there is no one like you , !

And the billionaires has started donating.. If only they were proactive as they always told ue, the virus wouldn't ve cross their border..

adioolayi:Ebola is a biological disease not a spiritual or demonic attack from the devil......Malaria was more lethal than Ebola during its reign of distruction before humans tamed it , Buh due to our new ways of life and the new environmental conditions we are exposed to, we are finding it more and more difficult to find cures for new diseases but never the less the Ebola virus would be tamed by man and not some heavenly intervention from heaven 2 Likes |

Dont know if true or fake, but why would the report say Ebola mortality rate is 90% in west Africa but 50/50 in America. Who told them that 90% of those who caught Ebola in Africa is dead? ![]() |

Instead of our govt sitting down and enjoying being ebola free, they shld start committing funds to research the cure both thru traditional and orthodox means.. Two things if they succeeded.. 1. We will be free from ebola 2. We make money from selling the drug to other countries.. But hey, in this era of cluelessness, it is either the law makers trying to stop Jonathan, Jonathan funding TAN, Jonathan killing his enemies politically, and the youths taking sides.. We be real mumu.. |
