Texas health officials as well as others with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have ended a 21-day quarantine and observation period for dozens of people suspected of being exposed to the United States’ first domestically diagnosed Ebola patient, and while scores more continue to be monitored, the watch period for this first group likely ended weeks before it should have.
According to Reuters, 43 persons who had been in contact with Patient Zero — Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan — “were cleared overnight [October 20] of twice-daily monitoring after 21 days of showing no symptoms, the state health department said, while another 120 were still on watch lists.”
The end of monitoring is likely to ease some fairly widespread anxiety about the disease, which has a 90 percent mortality rate, in the U.S., though an earlier Natural News report by editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, quoted a World Health Organization study which found that Ebola incubation periods could last up to twice that long — 42 days — in a small percentage of patients.
