Dallas Schools to Install Remote Temperature Monitors to Detect Ebola

A city, a local municipality is doing what the federal government should've been doing at airports.

I'm thinking it will spread but at the same time the US population won't suffer AS MUCH since we have better tech, knowledge and medical skill. Along with being a much better fed country which should make the average US resident healthier going into the disease. Still fatalities and severe cases though. As usual the old and young will be the worst hit.
 

This will not actually tell the schools if a child has ebola; it takes a special blood test to tell that. At least that is how the hospitals have been determining of a sick person has ebola or not . It only tells whether a person has a fever or not.
This person that has ebola in Texas is a Liberian national, and has never been to the United States until he came over here in September with the ebola. Before he cam here, he was living in a place where two people died with ebola, and was helping to take care of them. It is totally possible that he was contagious when he flew over to Texas.
I am not sure how he could have already had an apartment in the United States when he had never even been here before; so it must have been that he was staying with friends or a relative here.

They'll be a lot of false alarms but it's a start. But I just don't want to see a lot of these precautions turn into a complete surrender of medical privacy either.

As far as the Liberian guy flying over a lot illegal and legal immigrant communities are tight. I've seen it first hand. I've seen the same immigrants talk about "the old' neighborhood in detail. They even know who went legit or took a criminal path in US. I've seen legal immigrants give stern warnings about their own countrymen or women. That being said it is this tightness that also helps form an illegal immigrant smuggling network. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of illegal Liberians in that same apartment complex. He went there for a reason. His travel choices weren't random. I can't believe others in that complex won't come down with Ebola.
