A person who recently traveled to Africa is now hospitalized in Dallas with a suspected Ebola infection:

Note that the statements made in the video imply that Ebola is not airborne, but this claim has been disputed by some scientists:

Why are we letting travelers to Africa freely enter our country? Makes no sense to me.
If confirmed, this will be the first case of Ebola in the US. I bet it won't be the last.
Update: Ebola confirmed, right here in Texas:
