#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.

Hey, if you see Bob, tell him he's got Ebola. It's important.

#2 Why don't they ask one of the lawyers chasing the ambulance?

#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.

#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.

#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.
