DART Woman ill at train station not on Ebola list

DALLAS — A woman who was being monitored for possible exposure to the Ebola virus was reported ill at the Dallas Area Rapid Transit White Rock Station Saturday afternoon.

DART spokesman Morgan Lyons said the person fell ill with a low-grade fever at the station in Northeast Dallas after deciding that her quarantine period was over.

Lyons said the woman is believed to be a resident of the Ivy Apartments, where Ebola "patient zero" Thomas Eric Duncan became ill after traveling to the U.S. from Liberia.

Dallas Fire-Rescue hazardous materials teams were dispatched to the station at 7333 East Northwest Highway, which serves the Blue Line light rail along with connecting bus routes. Emergency personnel were wearing protective gear.

DART said White Rock Station would be closed to bus and rail service until further notice; trains scheduled to stop at the station will not stop there.​

Wonder if it could be the daughter of his girlfriend that self monitored and helped treat him those couple of days before he went back in the hospital

Great, so now we may have a poor watch list. Hopefully this is just the start of a cold or something else.

The entire state of Texass should be quarantined - no one allowed in or out. Call out the National Guard and seal off the borders.

Ebola is a virulent killer...extremely contagious, no matter how the Tzar and the Emperor spin it!

Viruses hardly come worse than this one.

Heaven knows how many lost souls are walking around in US carrying it.... as we speak!

This problem will get much worse if ISIS succeeds in weaponizing Ebola. I think the southeast is most vulnerable, as infected aliens cross the border into Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California.

At this point there are probably more people with than without Ebola.
