A man from Liberia remains hospitalized with Ebola in Dallas, Texas, the people in an apartment where he had been staying are being quarantined (kind of), and about 100 people who had contact with the infected man are being monitored.
What about area schools? Martha MacCallum had a priorities question:
Explain to me why we cancel school at the 1st snowflake, but not for #Ebola ? Who loses if the Texas school takes a few days off?

Are authorities simply not taking the threat seriously enough?

@marthamaccallum That would be admitting we got a potentially BIG problem. Allot of citizen may die of Ebola cause by PoliticalCorrectness

Ebola concerns may not have prompted area school closings, but weather has:
@marthamaccallum Agree! Some Dallas schools are closed today do to power outages,blessing in disquise.Too many ppl downplaying Ebola risk

@marthamaccallum @JaniceDean says lots of Dallas schools closed bcuz storms. Maybe God closed the schools bcuz the superintendent wouldn't?
