| Police, county sheriff's deputies looking for man who rode in a possibly contaminated ambulance after Ebola patient's ride Dallas County law enforcement officers are looking for a man who reportedly rode in the Dallas Fire-Rescue ambulance that had carried a man stricken with Ebola to Texas Health Presbyterian hospital. County Judge Clay Jenkins said Dallas police and county sheriff's deputies are trying to find the man, who reports have suggested is homeless. Authorities have not released the man's name. "not released the man's name"?*&%$!!! Another brain dead decision. Geesh. "We are working to locate the individual and get him to a comfortable, compassionate place where we can monitor him and care for his every need for the full incubation period," Jenkins said in an emailed statement. "I want to emphasize that he is a low risk individual and we are doing this out of precautionary measures." At the CDC's press briefing Sunday, Jenkins appealed to the unidentified man to come forward, perhaps to contact as police officer so that he could be picked up and tested for Ebola symptoms. The man was tested Saturday and showed no signs of the disease. "If he's listening right now, we want to be sure to address his needs," Jenkins said. "We want to be careful and compassionate." NOW you wanna be careful. Shoulda thought of that before letting him slip through your hands. |

| #6 get him to a comfortable, compassionate place Quarantined in the PSYCH ward because it has locking doors. I suppose they can hold him a while on a 'good samaritan' suicide watch. |

| #5 Found him: DALLAS — A homeless panhandler who rode in the same Dallas ambulance after Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan has been found after an extensive manhunt. The 52-year-old man — who city officials identified as Michael Lively — was admitted to Parkland Memorial Hospital Sunday afternoon after being taken into custody by Dallas police officers. County Judge Clay Jenkins said he was taken to the hospital's psychiatric ward...David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services, explained that officials were able to find the homeless man on Saturday, "monitor him, check his temperature and evaluate him, and told him to stay there and that we needed to follow him... and he left."..Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings told News 8 that Lively was able to walk away because officials did not have the authority to hold him. "In America, people are free, and they can do whatever they want," Rawlings said. "We did not have the correct paperwork." Sources tell News 8 that authorities were working Sunday evening to obtain a control order to prevent Lively from walking away again. |

| #3 Judge Jenkins is the guy who offered to take 2,000 of the illegal kids into Dallas, because hsi daughter was worried about them. Feds would pay of course, (sure! Free money!) then there was some pushback, and not sure what ever happened. |

| #1 "not released the man's name"?*&%$!!! Another brain dead decision. Geesh. We certainly would not want to violate a patient's right to privacy and medical confidentiality. vs Hey, if you see Bob, tell him he's got Ebola. It's important. |
