The Texas Department of State Health Services has completed testing of the specimen submitted Thursday by Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. The result is negative for Ebola.
The test was to evaluate the case of a sheriff’s deputy who sought medical care yesterday.
The deputy, who does not have a fever and is doing better, had been briefly inside the apartment of a man who later died of Ebola. The Ebola patient had already been hospitalized so the deputy did not have direct contact with him. All known cases of Ebola have occurred through direct contact with blood or other bodily fluids or exposure to contaminated objects, such as needles.

In an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, the two Republicans say that the current strategy of dealing with “ISIS first” may unintentionally bolster the Assad regime which the United States has long said must come to an end. Continue reading “McCain, Graham: Remove Assad to Defeat ISIS”

A handwritten letter penned by Eric Frein has been found in the Pennsylvania woods as police continue to scour the area looking for the accused cop shooter, authorities said today.
Details in the letter lead police to believe it was written by Frein, who’s been on the run since Sept. 12.
