I know this is the Daily Mail, but...I hope this isn't true but having seen how they've handled this so far, I wouldn't be at all surprised.

CDC have not contacted second family in Ebola 'quarantine' for 24 hours - and now they are coughing and sneezing

Relatives of Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan who were put under observation by CDC after they visited him on the day he was taken to hospital are still waiting for an answer about what they should do 24 hours after they begged them for help.

Aaron Yah, 43, and wife Youngor Jallah, 35, yesterday told of their ordeal in isolation and revealed that they had not received direct orders to stay indoors.

Today MailOnline returned to the family's small apartment to find a family without answers, without power following violent electrical storms that brought down lines and running low on food, water and diapers for their youngest child.

Most troubling of all some family members are beginning to show cold-like symptoms.
Ms Jallah repeatedly wiped her eyes - which appeared sticky - with a paper towel while a child sneezed and coughed in the background. While it is unlikely to be related to the Ebola virus, they did not look as healthy as they did when MailOnline visited on Thursday.

1. Don't worry. Some blowhard will be on the TV telling everyone how, "We got this.

No need to worry." And then they'll fuck up again.

2. Ebola doesn't start with coughing and sneezing.

Journalism FAIL.

3. It says that right in the article

The point was that they are at risk for health issues being locked up in an unclean environment.

And I'm not the expert you are, but wouldn't an immune system weakened by other illnesses make the body more susceptible to viruses of other sorts?

Point is, they're handling this 'isolation' just as badly as the first.

4. That might explain why the children went to school. No instructions about what was happening.
