Dallas Ebola patient had contact with children, Texas governor says








Dallas Ebola patient had contact with children, Texas governor says
...The patient, a man, walked into an emergency room at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on September 26. A nurse asked him for his travel history while he was in the emergency room, and the patient said he had traveled to Africa, said Dr. Mark Lester, executive vice president of Texas Health Resources.
But that information was not "fully communicated" to the medical team, Lester said.



What is so disturbing about the Texas hospital sending the Ebola patient home, was that he told the hospital he was in Africa, and they still sent him home.
Do they have critical thinking skills in Texas?

WTF? Is There An Assassination Plot Afoot?
I'm wondering what the editors at Politico were thinking when they let through this bizarre line about Obama being such an abysmal manager that only his death by assassination is likely to bring about needed reform of the Secret Service.
