This is breaking news. According to the telelvision, the CDC will be holding a press conference around 5:30 p.m. (EST) to announce the first case of Ebola in the US (apart from those coming via medical evacuation).
The patient traveled from Liberia to Dallas by plane, but early report is he was asymptomatic then. Went to hospital with high fever. He is at Texas Health Presybyterian Hospital in Dallas. On a side note, my wife and I were at this hospital for tests (non-related) yesterday.
Here is an early article from 8 hours ago before the CDC confirmed to the press the positive test.
