Ebola Transmission Answers To Questions In New York Times "Well" Blog In Wake Of Concerns Of Dallas Ebola Case Bad Mishandling By Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital And Emergency Physicians After Hospital In Altered Account Blames Computer Records Error

       Saturday, 4 October 2014, DALLAS, TEXAS - In the wake of heightened widespread concerns about the transmission of the Ebola virus in the wake of the deadly virus' first occurrence in the United States after physicians at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas stunned the public by sending home from a hospital emergency room visit a symptomatic Ebola-infected man who specifically told emergency physicians and nurses he had just returned from Liberia.
       After the Ebola diagnosis finally was made after later admitting him to the hospital on his second visit according to the New York Times the hospital administration altered its account and blamed the patient's mistaken release on a computer error. The hospital then allowed three days to pass after making his Ebola diagnosis before his still occupied apartment was evacuated and cleaned by a professional crew finding it still with his original towels and sheets having been left on his bed. Despite attempts of Administration officials completely to downplay the incident health authorities were not playing ball with their assessments completely at odds with those of responsible government officials taking no responsibility at all as Dr. Ashish Jha a Harvard University professor of Public Health emphasized at length his disappointment reiterated by other health authorities in the hospital for its "multiple failures" and their consequences "throwing out a bunch of distractions" rather than teaching other hospitals from its dismal performance.
       The New York Times "Well" blog from yesterday Friday, 3 October 2014 is linked to below answering readers' questions of most concern regarding transmission routes and recognition of the Ebola virus as well as basic information such as when and how long after infection testing for the virus can confirm Ebola's presence in a patient along with links beside and below the Times blog to other presently pertinent articles and information on the Ebola virus and its current outbreak believed to have originated in Northwest Africa. Readers may also watch a video of the magnified Ebola virus by going to the same link directly below.
       Below the second link is to the New York Times Saturday, 4 October 2014 Front Page article (originally dated Friday, 3 October 2014) on Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital emergency physicians' mishandling of the patient and the hospital administration's subsequent altering of its account and blaming the error on the hospital computer system. Following that is a third newly added link from Esquire magazine's political online blog for interested readers expressing one perspective on the political overtones of the Texas ebola case and the dangers posed by the perceived Republican fostered culture of insanity and ignorance endangering the whole country.
