Wait! Dead ebola patients CAN'T come back from... the dead ? You serious, Clark ?

Because that's what I was told by FOX NEWS...oh, wait. No, I wasn't. Nor did I hear that from any legit news source. Only place I see that being reported is from YOUR ridiculously linked 'celebricity ' site YOU posted. Which also boasts of the first 'Humanzee' hybrid born in Guyana.

I take it this site is a kin to The Onion or Pirate News, huh ?

Frelling moron.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans lack confidence in the government's ability to protect their personal safety and economic security, a sign that their widespread unease about the state of the nation extends far beyond politics, according to the latest Associated Press-GfK poll.

With Election Day about a month away, more than half those in the survey said Washington can do little to effectively lessen threats such as climate change, mass shootings, racial tensions, economic uncertainty and an unstable job market.

"I think what we've got going on here in America is the perfect storm of not good things," said Joe Teasdale, 59, who lives in southwest Wisconsin and works as an assistant engineer at a casino.

For many of those questioned in the poll, conducted before doctors in Texas diagnosed a Liberian man with the Ebola virus, the concern starts with the economy.

The poll found that 9 in 10 of those most likely to vote in the Nov. 4 election call the economy an extremely or very important issue. Teasdale is among those who say the slow recovery from the recession is a top concern.

Dallas: The first person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, Thomas Eric Duncan, has died at a Dallas hospital, as federal officials said they would begin temperature screenings of passengers arriving from West Africa at five US airports.

"It is with profound sadness and heartfelt disappointment that we must inform you of the death of Thomas Eric Duncan this morning at 7.51 am," hospital spokesman Wendell Watson said.

Mr Duncan became ill after arriving in the Texas city from the West African country of Liberia on September 20 to visit family, heightening concerns the world's worst Ebola outbreak on record could spread in the United States.

Hen told his fiancee the day he was diagnosed last week that he regretted exposing her to the deadly virus and had he known he was carrying Ebola, he would have "preferred to stay in Liberia and died than bring this to you," a family friend said.

"He apologised to Louise the day they told him what he had," said Saymendy Lloyd, a close friend of Louise Troh. "He told her, 'I'm so sorry all of this is happening ... I would not put the love of my life in danger'."

Mr Duncan had spent nearly two decades separated from the woman he had travelled to Dallas to be with, Ms Troh, 54, with whom he had a son. The couple were apparently rekindling their relationship.

Mr Duncan had been a driver at a cargo company in Monrovia, the Liberian capital, living alone in a small room he rented from the parents of Marthalene Williams, 19. A simple act of kindness probably exposed him to the virus.

In Monrovia, neighbours and Ms Williams' parents said Mr Duncan helped the family take Ms Williams to and from a hospital, shortly before she died of Ebola. Some of the men and women who had direct contact with Ms Williams, and who were also in contact with Mr Duncan, have also died, including Ms Williams' brother, Sonny Boy Williams, 21.

Mr Duncan helped carry her while she was sick with the virus and convulsing. The disease is contagious only if the infected person is experiencing active symptoms.

"He was holding her by the legs, the pa was holding her arms and Sonny Boy was holding her back," said Arren Seyou, 31, who witnessed the scene.

Family members gathered in Dallas and were able to see Mr Duncan on Monday at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital via a laptop camera in his hospital room. "He is not responsive at all. They said he was drugged and they put him in deep sleep," said Ms Lloyd, who was with the family.

She said the family members were saddened by the sight of Mr Duncan on Monday.

Ms Lloyd said this was the first time Duncan's mother, who lives in North Carolina, saw her son since he came to the United States.

"She has not seen him for 12 years, and the first time she saw him was through a monitor," said Ms Lloyd. "She was very, very emotional. She told him to be strong, that she is praying for him, that she loves him and God is able to do all things."

Ms Troh, who is in mandated isolation in Dallas with her 13-year-old son and two other people, spoke by phone to Ms Lloyd. Mr Duncan and Ms Troh's 19-year-old son, Eric Karsiah Duncan, tried to visit his father at the hospital on Tuesday evening.


Texas health officials are bracing for a critical week in Dallas, where they are watching for any signs that as many as 48 people who had contact with Mr Duncan may develop symptoms of Ebola. Health officials say the incubation period for the disease is 21 days, but it could appear eight to 10 days after exposure.

Mr Duncan began showing symptoms on September 24, when he first sought medical treatment at Texas Presbyterian, three blocks from the home of Ms Troh. Duncan was sent home but was taken back to the hospital by ambulance on September 28. Two days later a blood test confirmed that he had Ebola. Health officials say the "10-day threshold" for the disease will fall within the next few days.

"This is a critical week. We need to be prepared in Dallas for what could happen if family members become ill," said David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of Health Services.

None of the 10 "high risk" people — including four people who lived in the apartment where Duncan stayed and six health-care workers — have developed symptoms, health officials said.

Ms Troh, who was moved to an undisclosed location with the three people who were in the apartment with Duncan, is still well, family members say.

Meanwhile, federal officials announced that travellers at five US airports - Kennedy International, Washington Dulles International, O'Hare International, Hartsfield-Jackson International and Newark Liberty International - will be subject to screenings, which will include taking the passengers' temperatures with a non-contact thermometer and requiring them to fill out a questionnaire.

The screenings will be for people arriving from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, the three countries hardest hit by the epidemic.

The worst Ebola outbreak on record has killed 3879 people out of 8033 cases by the end of October 5, with no evidence that the epidemic was being brought under control in West Africa, the World Health Organisation said on Wednesday.

About 90 per cent of the people arriving from the three countries come through the five airports, officials said.

CDC is FINALLY considering screening travelers for Ebola before they're allowed into the US... but would anything have stopped Thomas Eric Duncan?

-Officials said checks could be brought in, including temperature taking
-Would impact those travelling from disease-ravaged West African countries
-Move would be difficult as most routes from region are connecting flights
-CDC is monitoring 48 people in Dallas in case they start showing symptoms
-They are people who may have come into contact with Thomas Eric Duncan
-First patient diagnosed on U.S. soil is said to be struggling to survive
