So the first confirmed case of Ebola in the USA is in Dallas Texas.
Think this could be the start of a pandemic in the USA?

Probably not...

"An unnamed patient at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas was placed in isolation while awaiting test results for the dreaded virus. Apparently, the patient had traveled recently to a West African country, where the disease is spreading, and later developed symptoms that suggested Ebola."

Thanks Kevin, appreciate it

Dallas-Fort Worth Airport has no direct flights to and from Africa, so it is believed that the patient would have had to make a connection elsewhere, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. It raises concern that others may have been infected as a result of exposure to the man or woman who is currently in isolation in Dallas

Besides aid workers, WHO THE FUCK GOES TO WEST AFRICA RIGHT NOW?!

other articles "claim" he presented no symptoms prior to flight. Ebola is only contagious once symptoms show.
Hopefully he didn't become contagious until he was already home.

Probably true, but on the other hand what else is the CDC going to say? "Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye."
