And now appearing in Amarillo, TX

Baptist-St. Anthony Hospital (BSA) in Amarillo is on lockdown with a suspected case of ebola. I was just there yesterday visiting a friend. Wirecutter may be ebola-free, but I'm not off the hook yet. Fortunately for me, I'm an OCD germaphobe who travels with disinfectant wipes, sterile gloves, masks and hand sanitizer who avoids public restrooms like Obama avoids Mooch's cooch. We'll see.

UPDATE:

The lockdown has been lifted. Apparently, the patient presented with a high fever and "flu-like" symptoms and answered affirmatively to the question about travel to or contact with someone who had traveled to a hot zone. The response team contacted, by phone, the person in question who denied having been to a hot zone in the last couple of months. Okie dokie, good enough for us. 

My question: how do you verify?

    I thought you carried all that shit for your daily trauma? I'm surprised you don't carry a suture lit around with you.

    Darling,

    With the way the gummit at all levels has Royally cluster fucked this whole show from the get go, the simple answer is aint no way you can be sure until 42 days pass.

    C'mon, you damn well know to stay the hell away from hospitals unless you have a death wish.

    You are too close to a Hot Zone so you need to look hard at locking yourself et all in until 42 days pass after the last case either recovers or croaks. Shelter in place.

    NOBODY, esp Frieden and Fauci have a clue about level 4 inectious agents. This gets any looser gonna be a Texas ghost town for good reason. I remeber when the CDC purged the EIS (Epidemic Intelligence Service) of everyone who has level 4 field experience. Today we get F & F. Crap, we're doomed.

    I was supposed to go to Happy, Texas to meet with some customers. Guess that is a no show now.
