Remember when Thomas Duncan
<http://www.thedailysheeple.com/breaking-the-us-media-announces-the-death-of
-ebola-patient-in-dallas_102014> ‘s family was forced to stay in their
Ebola-contaminated apartment
<http://www.thedailysheeple.com/theyre-just-now-getting-around-to-destroying
-dirty-sheets-towels-etc-from-ebola-patient-zeros-home_102014> for several
days?
They were forced into quarantine by Dallas County Sheriff’s officers.
Some of those officers actually ENTERED the apartment.
On October 2, WFAA reported
<http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/local/dallas-county/2014/10/02/dallas-county
-sheriffs-deputies-entered-ebola-quarantined-apartment/16622445/> :
Five members of the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department who were briefly
inside the apartment where a man with Ebola stayed have been temporarily put
on leave.
The three deputies, a sergeant, and a lieutenant accompanied the head of
Dallas County Health and Human Services Department and a doctor into the
apartment late Wednesday night. They had gone there on the orders of Sheriff
Lupe Valdez to get the people inside to sign a court order forbidding them
from leaving the apartment.
Then, this afternoon, this
<http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/health/2014/10/08/patient-frisco-ebola-suspe
ct/16922477/> was reported:
Crews transported a patient exhibiting “signs and symptoms of Ebola” from a
Frisco CareNow to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.
Hmm…I wonder who that might be?
The patient was identified as Sgt. Michael Monnig, a deputy who accompanied
county health officials Zachary Thompson and Christopher Perkins into the
apartment where Thomas Eric Duncan stayed in Dallas.
This is particularly alarming:
The deputy was ordered
<http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/health/2014/10/08/patient-frisco-ebola-suspe
ct/16922477/> to go inside the unit with officials to get a quarantine
order signed. No one who went inside the unit that day wore protective gear.
It will take 48 hours for Monnig’s Ebola test results to come back.
Oh, and now two others are reportedly being observed too, for their possible
exposure at the clinic:
Chuck Moreno, who went into the CareNow center with his 15-year-old son to
get a flu shot, said he saw a patient whose skin was flushed enter the
clinic with his wife. He was hunched over but walking.
Within minutes, police and fire units were there. Moreno said he asked a
CareNow employee if the response was related to Ebola, and the employee
nodded her head “yes.”
Moreno said he and his son went into an examination room, put on surgical
masks they found there and sprayed disinfectant on themselves. Staff told
them he and his son could not leave CareNow and would be transferred to a
major medical center. (source

Dallas County Sheriff’s Association President Christopher Dyer has
repeatedly said
<http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/health/2014/10/08/patient-frisco-ebola-suspe
ct/16922477/> that he did not believe that deputies should have been sent
inside the quarantined apartment:
“This is a federal issue. The CDC should have come in and taken care of
this. A local department is not equipped to deal with a virus that is
potentially this deadly.”
