As Twitchy reported, a patient in Dallas, Texas, has been diagnosed with Ebola. The CDC reportedly tried to keep the news quiet at first. Way to go, guys!

But during the news conference, this happened.
CDC guy, "We're delighted to be doing this in partnership with Texas."
I can assure Texas does not feel the same. #Delighted— KRenner (@KRenner2) September 30, 2014
Seriously.
Is it possible for this CDC guy to any more condescending? No. It's not. Really- it's not.

Anyone else watching the CDC press conference? It's like watching The Three Stooges. Or the prequel to The Walking Dead. #EbolaOutbreak

Speaking of which, this isn’t so reassuring:
#THEFIVE How bout the little cough the CDC guy let out?

It got worse. Some noticed something a little peculiar about the CDC guy himself.

@Warden_AoS @instapundit Is this the beginning of the Zombiepocalypse or what?

@Warden_AoS My word, couldn't someone healthier looking do the press conference?
