Authorities Search For Homeless Man In Dallas Ebola Case
The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Sunday the agency was being flooded with hundreds of calls every day about Ebola — while authorities in Texas are searching for a missing homeless man who was identified as a contact with the Dallas Ebola patient. At a news conference Sunday, CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said they were receiving roughly 800 phone calls a day about Ebola — a sharp increase from about 50 a day. But Frieden said he had "no doubt" the U.S. would stop Ebola "in its tracks" in Texas, where the first U.S. Ebola patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, was being treated at a Dallas hospital. But he said Duncan "has taken a turn for the worse." He was in critical condition Saturday, the hospital said. http://nbcnews.to/1pYJ8mX http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
