Remember that thread from the other day where someone claiming to be nurse said Presbyterian Hospital was canceling all surgeries? Well, I call BS on her and this is why.

This morning my daughter went to ground zero (Presby hospital) with her boyfriend who was having a tonsillectomy over in the surgery center.

Anyway, They did ask her boyfriend pre-op if he has traveled recently. He said," No, but I do live in North Dallas not too far from the Ebola guy." The nurse did not think that was funny. It wasn't meant to be funny, it's the truth.

I asked her if she saw anything odd around the surgery center. She said, other than a sign at the front door that reads, If you are coughing or sneezing...do not enter" Everything seemed normal.

Thats what iam worried about. Tons of people go to the state fair it gets pretty crowded. It maybe a little extreme but i already canceled my plans to go this year. Just not taking that chance, hell at least ill save some money.

Is this cow girl that was on woa?

NO

NO

I thought the same thing a couple of days ago but now I'm sitting on the fence. Am I going to stop living my life because of this Ebola situation? Probably not. If its in the general population, I could pick it up in the grocery store just as easily as at the fair. I'll wait a week to see if we have any more cases and if it seems to be under control, I'm going to the fair and eat fried everything!

Thanks for this post. I live near Dallas, have noticed a bit of a run on non perishables and water, but nothing untoward yet. The sterilization process here, regarding this guy's trail & possible affectees seems to be a joke. Just watched a contractor in front of his girlfriend's apartment hosing down a place where he puked, right into the sewer. Wheeee!

YW.

It's not adding up, is it?

What's your theory?

I live Keller. My husband is having an endoscopy at Baylor Trophy Club on Monday. During the pre-op phone call the nurse kept stressing to call them if he exhibits any fever or flu-like symptoms before Monday.

On what basis? I've worked in healthcare for 15 years. The handles, rails, door knobs, etc... at your home or work place are much nastier than those at a hospital.

I'm in Sugarland,Texas about 10 mins from South Houston and I haven't heard anything so far. I am sure we will here something coming out of Houston soon. I am just going to wait ans see what happens. This Ebola thing doesn't seem right. I am trying to put my finger on it but I have yet to see the full light.

WARNING...ANY OFF TOPIC POSTS OR POSTS PICKING ON TEXANS WILL BE DELETED!

There are plenty of other threads on GLP for the kids to play on so please leave this one alone.

Thank you!

Killeen here. Not much to report other than a potential big seestorm rolling in.

Well I look at it like this... The chances of getting infected or exposed are much higher at a fair compared to a grocery store or else where. There is so much that people touch and interact with at the fair. Food vendors, rides, midway games, tickets, petting zoo, new car show, small not always the cleanest restrooms. When you go to the store odds are your not gonna touch a bunch of things or intact with too many people. Not really putting life on hold, just trying to protect me and my family I hope this gets better not worse.

^ THIS

WHAT THE HELL is wrong with people who do that kind of stuff?!

this cant be true ...is it

Kingwood, Texas here. 40 northeast of Houston.

Went to Kroger today and had to LOL when I saw the bleach shelf was empty, sold out.

Storms coming through here about 3 a.m. tonight.

Don't think that was the apt he was staying in. Think they moved the family to another apt that was not contaminated. If you leave them in the contaminated apt, they will get it at some point over time. Also, you would have to start the 21 day period over. They have to be in an environment not contaminated. Then if one of them test positive, the other in there will have to start 21 day over.

Heck if I know...I got the info from here:
