As experts (as opposed to President Obama) had warned, the probability of Ebola coming to the US is around 20% by year-end. So it should not be a total surprise that: *CDC CONFIRMS FIRST EBOLA CASE DIAGNOSED IN THE UNITED STATES *EBOLA PATIENT IS IN DALLAS HOSPITAL, NEWS 8 REPORTS The patient recently returned (via plane) from traveling from Liberia, West Africa. This perhaps explains why CDC was "taking precautions in the US" as we noted previously. And don't forget the administration's interference in Ebola treatments. *CDC SAYS INDIVIDUAL LEFT FROM LIBERIA *CDC SAYS PERSON WITH EBOLA IN TEXAS LEFT LIBERIA ON SEPT. 19 *CDC SAYS INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPED SYMPTONS ON SEPT. 26 *CDC SAYS U.S. EBOLA PATIENT IS A MALE *CDC IDENTIFIED ALL PERSONS THAT MAY BE IN CONTACT W/ INDIVIDUAL *CDC SAYS ALL PERSONS IDENTIFIED ARE MONITORED FOR 21 DAYS *CDC DIRECTOR SAYS: `I HAVE NO DOUBT WE WILL CONTROL THIS CASE' *CDC DIRECTOR SAYS: `THERE IS NO DOUBT WE WILL STOP IT HERE' Press Conference (due to start at 530ET) via NBC News
