2nd hand contact inside hospital - for what it's worth...

No proof. It is what it is. 2nd hand information that I'm passing along.

I'm sharing in the hope that if we all share the bits and pieces we get, we might be able to put some of it together and arrive at truth. Just doing my part to that end.

I told him if things go south his father and I will come get him!

Somebody could call the Hospital Security number and say

"Hey I'm the pizza guy. I'm trying to get six pizzas into those employees you got quarantined. One guys mom already paid for the pizzas. Which door do I come in?"

And see what kind of response you get

Well I just phoned this hospital and they are saying that hospital is not and has not been on any kind of "lock-down", which is why I asked about any proof of your claims -- it's pretty odd.

My reply:

Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry! I will redouble prayers, and others will be praying as well. If you and his dad decide to try to go get him, PLEASE be very careful. I have such a bad feeling that this thing is going to get bad. Ebola is bad enough, but the panic could make it 1000 times worse.

Stars and green for sharing and keep up the good reporting OP!

Say WHAT? They're going to go and get a symptomatic ebola infected patient from the hospital and drag him outside?

What the hell?

Ok, I live in a small town a couple hours from Dallas. I also belong to a web group of NE and E Texans who talk about primarily local news and scanner activity. One of the members (whom I do NOT know personally, just a fellow member of the group) posted about 15 hours ago the following (I'm keeping his name private, as he does not know I'm sharing this and I would not feel right including his name.):

I just found out my nephew, who is a nurse, is on lock down at Presby hospital in Dallas with the Ebola patient. Prayers would be greatly appreciated.

A few minutes ago, I PM'd him the following:

[Name], again, my prayers for your nephew and all others involved. Was wondering if you are in contact with him? Do you have any word of his safety? Precautions taken to keep him and any others there with him healthy? I don't know him or you, but am very worried for a fellow Texas caught up in this mess.

May God bless and be with your family.

His response, almost immediately:

He messaged me just a little while ago. They are being held at the Hospital. No one can leave or have personnel contact with any one out side. He says he is being very careful. I told him if things go south his father and I will come get him!


(Yes, I know the whole 'Uncle' thing, but at least it's some info)

Any proof of your claims?

Mom, they would jam everything, electronically. Trust me on that one.

For what it's worth, I believe you are speaking absolute truth....

Prayers for everyone....

I live in Dallas so I selfishly include myself

I'm with this AC, wow, that screwed up man

You seriously have to wonder about the CDC, this administration TPTB.

I mean...they are letting travel and flights in from this area.

However, they are quarantining people after they are here in the US that have already come into contact with someone that has Ebola - well - why not, stop the flights, and quarantine anyone prior to travel to the US, they have come into contact with people that have Ebola over there in that country as well!!??

The way they are doing this makes no sense.

Say WHAT? They're going to go and get a symptomatic ebola infected patient from the hospital and drag him outside?

What the hell?

Sounds like if they don't get what they want - whatever that is - they will drag him out of quarantine by force - and don't care if they infect everyone in the USA by so doing.

That's so stupid (or evil, take your pick) that one wonders how they managed to reproduce at all.

Was getting caught up on another thread I'm following.

Nothing new from the guy in the scanner group.

Thanks very much for the prayers and well wishes. They are much appreciated and I add my own to them.

About the whole 'going to get him' statement. It was NOT ME who said that, but the guy I was chatting with. It's HIS family member there, not mine. My opinion on that statement is it's typical Texan Rambo talk. In reality, they'd not follow through on such a plan, but it makes them feel better to talk about it, which is about all they can do at this point.

I haven't heard anything, either, about the whole place being on a lockdown, so I'm wondering if his family member might be one of those few who had direct contact with the guy. Not really sure how I'd ask such a question of a person who is essentially a stranger.

I wonder if the CDC is going to require testing of the staff that had contact with that patient. Could be the prudent thing to do.
