Were not feeling negative tonight, so this is very good news... We are breathing a little bit easier, but we are still holding our breath, said Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings. Those who are no longer in danger include a group of health care workers and community members who may have had contact with the Liberian man, Thomas Eric Duncan, between September 24 when he began showing symptoms and September 28 when he was isolated in a Dallas hospital. This is a crucial milestone for the city of Dallas and for concerned persons across the United States, said Mark Rupp, an infectious disease specialist at Nebraska Medical Center, which has treated two US Ebola patients after they were infected in Liberia this year. I hope this reinforces the message that the public is safe and that Ebola is not very infectious in its early stages. Cautiously optimistic is the watchword... but we are so thankful for those and their families who have been cleared from the watch lists.
