My Fellow Texans - Please Report In!

I am fearing the day when I hear of a suspected case in Wichita Falls...I am trying to greatly limit any travel outside of our town...but it can be brought in so easy just by people stopping at a gas station or for fast food...

It seems that each day the 'suspected' cases are increasing...What will it be like 2 weeks from now?...A month from now?...

Just venting...

I hope all of us will keep this family in our prayers,,they took the high road, and with hope and prayers and bleach....I hope they are all well

The man, who has not been identified, was on Frontier Flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas on Monday night and was "in close proximity" to Vinson.

Officials say the man has chosen to "separate himself from others, including his family," and that he has not exhibited any symptoms of the virus.

Officials say the man has three children who attend Georgetown ISD schools, but they were not on the flight and they have not been exposed to anyone with Ebola symptoms. However, the family has chosen to keep the children home from school.

I am here in the Rio Grande Valley, but I have tickets to the Longhorn game tomorrow in Austin -- should we go (wife and two kids)? My wife is an alum, and was even thinking of marching with the alumni band. She'll do whatever I recommend, but I feel like I am overreacting. Any thoughts, Texans?

Im from the Austin Area, no signs of anything here but having issues in Houston and Dallas worries me. I ordered some respirators last night out of concern, I mean go out to Austin just be safe about it. Wear face mask, gloves, and have hand sanitizer.

I worried I work as a clerk I have to touch paper money all day. It worries me deeply but I think we will all make it through

Houston Conroe ...Checking In...No Worries...

wear gloves

All good here by Glen Rose! Lots of beans, bullets, band aids, and hazmat suits: )

Dear UT Community,
I wanted to share this information with you as soon as possible. On October 13, a University of Texas at Austin student flew on Frontier Airlines Flight 1143, on which a health care worker who has tested positive for Ebola also was a passenger. The student was not seated in the zone of concern on the plane, is not showing any symptoms, is monitoring body temperature, and is in daily contact with health officials, according to recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The student has been fully compliant beyond the CDC recommendations for possible Ebola exposure.
Health officials do not believe there is any health risk to campus at this time. However, in an abundance of caution, the student, who lives in a private residence, is staying home from class and away from campus activities. The university supports this decision and is providing academic and other resources that the student needs.
As president and as the parent of a current UT student, I want you to know that the safety of our students, faculty, and staff always comes first. We are working with city, state, and federal officials to monitor the situation and follow best practices. For specific information about the Ebola Virus please visit the CDC website.
Thank you,
Bill Powers, President
The University of Texas at Austin

My daughter who works as a large hotel in downtown Dallas said that corporate is sending in a team to train hotel management on how to handle a "pandemic situation". They also have a special code in their reservation system for people who want to CXL rooms due to fear of Ebola in Dallas.
