Ebola hits United states

The CDC just confirmed the first case of Ebola in the
United States, according to Reuters. The patient was
placed in "strict isolation" at Texas Health Presbyterian
Hospital in Dallas earlier today.
A patient in a Dallas hospital has been confirmed to
have the Ebola virus, News 8 has learned.
In a statement issued Tuesday night, Texas Health
Presbyterian Hospital Dallas said the patient was
admitted based on symptoms and "recent travel
history."
The hospital, located at Greenville Avenue and Walnut
Hill Lane in northeast Dallas, said it's complying with
all recommendations from the Centers for Disease
Control and the Texas Department of Health to ensure
the safety of other patients and medical staff.
A press conference to discuss the case is scheduled for
5:30 pm.
At least 3,091 people have died from Ebola since the
West African outbreak was first identified in Guinea six
months ago. Last week, the CDC warned that between
550,000 and 1.4 million people in West Africa could be
infected with Ebola by January 2015.
News of the virus' appearance sent the share prices of
key biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies
skyrocketing in after-hours trading, in anticipation that
large drug companies may benefit from creating a
vaccine. BioCryst Pharma shot up 15 percent in after-
market trading, while Tekmira soared by nearly 17
percent.
