A health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital who provided care for Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan, who died last week, has tested positive for Ebola in a preliminary test, authorities said Sunday. The health care worker reported having a fever Friday night and was hospitalized, isolated and referred for testing within 90 minutes, the chief clinical officer for the hospital group said at a press conference.
Physician Dan Varga said the preliminary test result was received late Saturday and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would run a confirmation test.
"While this is obviously bad news, it is not news that should bring about panic," said Dallas Judge Clay Jenkins. "We new it was a possibility that a second person would contract the virus and we had a contingency plan in place."

Good luck Dallas. Political correctness and progressive politics have allowed a killer virus gain a foothold.
