CDC’s time line of the Dallas Ebola victim’s flight
date and symptom
onset date indicates a greater than 50%
probability that the Dallas
Ebola victim ACQUIRED HIS INFECTION DURING
HIS FLIGHT.
Per the Center For Disease Control’s very own Ebola
simulation model, 50% of all
Ebola infections develop symptoms five and a
half days after infection.
Given that the Dallas victim’s symptom onset
occurred within 6 days of
his Liberian departure flight; it is most likely that
he/she was
infected on that flight by someone else on that
flight who was actively
shedding Ebola virus.
Since the Dallas victim is most likely a
secondary infection, patient zero from that flight
is still on the loose
and more victims are to follow in the near term.
The situation is
potentially catastrophic because of the massive
number of potential
secondary victims who have no African travel
history and are likely to
not attract attention in any Emergency room until
massive hemorrhaging
has started.
