• Thomas Eric Duncan, 42, is pictured arriving at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport
• Holds a relative wearing traditional African dress while on the phone
• Is notifying his family members that he will be at their Dallas home shortly
• Was able to make the journey after allegedly lying on health forms in Liberia
• He is in a critical condition in hospital and is being held in isolation
• Texas authorities are still searching for people who may have been exposed
• Scare cases sweeping the nation with 100 potential patients reported today

Standing in the arrivals lounge of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport this is the moment Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan unwittingly brought the deadly virus to the USA.
Pictured moments after he completed his journey from disease-ravaged Liberia, two weeks ago, the 42-year-old smiles, as he is greeted warmly by relatives.
Holding a family member close he calls others on his cell phone to tell them he will shortly be arriving at their home in Dallas.
It follows a journey he was only able to make after he allegedly lied on an airport questionnaire in Liberia about not having any contact with a person infected with the deadly disease.

Arrival: Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan, 42 greets a woman and phones his family after landing at Dallas-Forth Worth International Airport on September 20th

Dressed in a traditional African costume and with her hair-styled especially for the happy occasion the relative appears pleased to see him.
Looking healthy Mr Duncan shows no signs of the potentially fatal Ebola virus that struck him down just days after he arrived in the USA.
Today the 42-year-old is fighting for his life at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas after doctors confirmed his medical condition had dramatically altered from serious to critical.

Texas Health Resources, which runs the hospital, said in a statement: 'Mr Duncan is in a critical condition.'
However the relative – who MailOnline have decided not to name – appears to have initially been in denial about the risk to her health after her extended family and friends contacted her following Mr Duncan's hospital admission last week.
A friend told MailOnline: 'She is the one who went to pick Thomas Eric Duncan up from the airport.
'They greeted each other, they hugged and held each other, which is only normal. They were pleased to see each other.
'But now everyone has been asking her about what has happened.
'And she has replied; "my Daddy does not have Ebola."
'She said; "Everyone should stop calling me because my dad does not have Ebola."

The relative was urged to undergo medical tests to see if she had become infected by the virus. But she appeared to be reluctant to do so.
The friend told MailOnline: 'She was meant to go for a medical check-up because she was one of the people who had been with him [Thomas Duncan], but she did not.'
It is unclear whether the relative – who is in a stable relationship and has three young children – has since been to see a doctor.
Mr Duncan arrived in Texas on September 20th after passing through two of the busiest airports in the USA - at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, and Dulles International Airport in Washington DC.
The Liberian national had earlier passed through Brussels International in Belgium on a flight from the African state's capital Monrovia.
Authorities have claimed he posed no danger to his fellow travelers or anyone who later boarded those planes because he was not displacing any symptoms of the Ebola virus at the time and was therefore not contagious.

However the 42-year-old helped to carry pregnant daughter of a neighbour who was dying of Ebola prior to the journey.
Mr Duncan had come to Dallas to marry the mother of his estranged son, Louise Troh, which would have paved the way for him to stay in the USA permanently, it has emerged.
Mark Wingfield, pastor at the Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas, where Ms Troh worships, told MailOnline: 'Louise told our senior pastor on Thursday.
The 42-year-old, who is understood to have arrived in the USA on a tourist visa, met Ms Troh in Liberia many years ago, according to Wilshire Baptist church pastor George Mason.
He said: 'They had this child. They had a falling out, and she came to the [United] States.'
The child, Kasiah Duncan, also came to the USA and this week said he had not seen his father since he was aged three. He is a 19-year-old college student at Angelo State University in San Angelo.


Mr Mason added: 'The son hasn't really seen his father for many years.
'I think [Duncan] was seeking reconciliation and hoping they might marry.'
Ms Troh visited the Liberian capital Monrovia, where Mr Duncan was living, in August this year, according to her Facebook page.
Louise Troh's ex-husband Joe Joe Jallah, who met Mr Duncan before he was admitted to hospital, told the Wall Street Journal, that he believed this was his first trip to the USA.
Mr Duncan arrived in Texas on September 20. He began showing symptoms of Ebola three days after his arrival and was admitted to Texas Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday.
Texas health officials have said about 100 people may have come into contact with Mr Duncan.
And today they announced nine family members and health-care workers had had direct exposure to the Ebola patient and that none has had any symptoms of the disease.
Separately, five public school children who had possibly been exposed to the Ebola patient had been kept home from class in recent days while being monitored as a precaution, though none had shown any symptoms, said Mike Miles, superintendent of the Dallas Independent School District.

Ebola scare cases are sweeping the nation, with more than 100 potential victims reported to authorities by hospitals in the last few days.
Health workers are on high alert for anybody with links to West Africa - where the disease has killed thousands - who show Ebola-like symptoms, which include vomiting, bleeding and diarrhea.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has been deluged by reports of potential sufferers - but so far none have turned out to be genuine Ebola victims.
Today Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the rush of potential cases came after news of Duncan's infection spread to hospitals, who have been especially vigilant.
The first Ebola diagnosis in the United States 'has really increased attention to what health workers need to do to be alert and make sure a travel history is taken,' Frieden told a news conference.

.
Frieden added that many of the inquiries involved people who had not traveled from West Africa, but that the agency preferred healthcare workers to cast as wide a net as possible.
Today hazmat crews and disease control officials swooped on a plane this afternoon amid Ebola fears prompted by a Liberian man who started vomiting on a flight to Newark Liberty airport.
Passengers were held for hours as the man - thought to be 35 - and his young daughter were rushed off the plane to hospital. Doctors later confirmed that neither of them has the deadly virus.
Hospital authorities said the man, believed to be around 35, instead has an unrelated disease which is easily treatable.
His daughter, believed to be 10, was also taken to hospital amid fears she was carrying the fatal virus. But she showed no symptoms of any illness at all, doctors said.
The governments of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia are struggling to contain the worst outbreak on record of the deadly hemorrhagic fever.
The World Health Organization on Friday updated its death toll to at least 3,439 out of 7,492 suspected, probable or confirmed cases.

Ebola vs Isis

This administration is so inconsistent when it comes to policy.

Ebola is a threat and what do we do. We are going over there to fight it on it’s homefront and even putting American boots on the ground. Yes it is in our best interests to treat the outbreak at it’s source. Why is fighting ISIS any different. They area more long term threat and just look at the beheading in OKC which is getting less attention than the incident in Ferguson. Oh excuse me that was a work force incident. In Ferguson the “victim” was black. In OKC the accused killer is black. Once again race is a factor, not.

What about ISIS. Well we are doing glorified fly overs. But after referring to ISIS as JV it is obvious Obama will let us drop bombs in the middle of nowhere up until the elections. Then what. Ebola is a global problem on one hand but a national problem first and formost. Ebola did not declare war on the U.S., ISIS did. ISIS is a global problem but they declared war on us.

Ebola gets ground troops and ISIS does not. Why, because Obama made a campaign promise to remove the troops from Iraq which he announced in advance and spurned the aggressive nature of ISIS. He ignores the advice of his military leaders . He sticks to his guns instead of using them.

This President is all about politics. Benghazi took a back seat to the last election, now it is ISIS. ISIS threatened to hit the WH and it appears it was wide open to an attack. We are witnessing a President and an administration that is totally incompetent and injects politics into everything it does. Obama would not even go to the border when he was in Texas fundraising. Why, maybe he was afraid of being exposed to disease etc. Yet he exposes us to a force that is Varstiy all the way. The JV is in the WH and with all they have at their disposal they continue to scuba in the kiddy pool. We are better than that.

[h=1]Anguish of U.S. Ebola patient's girlfriend: He came to America to marry her and now she can't even speak to him as he fights for his life in critical condition[/h]

• Louise Troh is a naturalized U.S. citizen who has a 19-year-old son with Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan, her pastor reveals
• She rekindled her romance with Duncan when she traveled back to Liberia earlier this year
• Duncan traveled to the U.S. with the intention of marrying Ms Troh
• Now she must wait in isolation over fears that he gave her and her children the deadly disease

The woman who Texas Ebola victim, Thomas Eric Duncan, had traveled to the States to marry, has not been able to speak with him since his condition was downgraded to critical yesterday MailOnline can reveal.
Louise Troh had been in daily telephone contact with Mr Duncan since his admission to hospital last Sunday.
Now as Mr Duncan fights for his life, MailOnline has been told that Ms Troh is ‘living moment by moment,’ unable to contact him and tormented by the knowledge that that she and her 13-year-old son and two nephews currently quarantined with her, could develop symptoms at any time.
Prayers were offered this morning for Ms Troh, Mr Duncan and all affected by this, the first Ebola outbreak on US soil, at Wilshire Baptist Church, Dallas, where Ms Troh is a member.

[h=1]Americans set to face increased screening at airports amid Ebola crisis: CDC FINALLY considers giving every passenger arriving from Liberia a medical check-up on arrival[/h]

• Officials said checks could be brought in, including temperature taking
• Would impact those travelling from disease-ravaged West African countries
• Move would be difficult as most routes from region are connecting flights
• CDC is monitoring 48 people in Dallas in case they start showing symptoms
• They are people who may have come into contact with Thomas Eric Duncan
• First patient diagnosed on U.S. soil is said to be struggling to survive

Security screening at airports around the United States could be stepped in a bid to stop an Ebola outbreak on American soil.
Federal officials have said every passenger travelling from all countries ravaged by the infection could face the checks such as having their temperature taken on arrival.
A source told CNN that 'all options are on the table' but says the increase in measures would not be as easy as it sounds as most routes from West Africa are not direct.
They said: 'There aren't that many direct flights from Ebola-affected countries to the U.S. anymore. Many passengers are arriving on connecting flights from other parts of the world, and then they come here, so that makes it more of a challenge.'
Centers for Disease Control Director Thomas Friedan tried to assure the public by saying that there is 'no doubt we can stop Ebola in this country'.
However he admitted that he was concerned for those in Dallas who had come into contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, the first man to be diagnosed while in the U.S,.

[h=1]NBC cameraman fighting for his life against Ebola virus leaves Liberia for treatment at American hospital[/h]

• Ashoka Mukpo, a freelance cameraman for NBC News in Monrovia, Liberia, fell ill with the Ebola virus last Wednesday
• His father has revealed that he was speaking at a medical conference in Barcelona when his son called him to break the terrible news
• 'He still has the fever. But his spirits are very good,' said Dr. Mitchell Levy
• Mukpo was being flown back to the U.S. to the Biocontainment Unit at the Nebraska Medical Center
• His family, including his father, his mom Diana and British girlfriend Helen, will be waiting for him in Omaha

The American photojournalist who became infected with Ebola while working in Liberia for NBC News boarded a jet and left disease-ravaged West Afirca on Sunday night.
Ashoka Mukpo, a freelance journalist from Providence, Rhode Island, was working as a cameraman when he fell ill last Wednesday.
He became the fifth American flown back home to be treated for the terrifying disease and the second patient taken to Nebraska Medical Center's Biocontainment Unit.
The 33-year-old flew out on a jet equipped with an isolation pod that separates him from his caregivers during the flight.
NBC reported Sunday evening that Mukpo had started his journey to the U.S. for treatment and that he would arrive Monday morning.

[h=1]The homeless man who caused Ebola panic in Dallas: Vagrant who wandered off while he was meant to be under observation for virus captured after frantic search - and will now be held against his will[/h]

• Authorities found Michael Lively on Sunday and took him to a hospital
• Lively may have come in contact with Thomas Eric Duncan's bodily fluids after riding in the same ambulance
• CDC Director Thomas Friedan said the outbreak is under control
• Health officials monitoring 48 people who came in contact with Duncan when he was contagious
• Officials are considering implementing new checks at airport to stop people with Ebola from entering the country
• Duncan is 'fighting for his life' in critical condition at a Texas hospital
• He has not received any experimental drugs and is instead being given only 'supportive care'

This is the first photo of the homeless man who sparked an Ebola alert in Dallas on Sunday after going missing following possible contact with an infected patient.
Michael Lively who was the first person to ride in the ambulance that carried Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan to Presbyterian Hospital, Texas.
It is possible that Lively came into contact with Duncan's Ebola-infected bodily fluids during that ride.
Lively, who is not showing any symptoms of the disease, had been under observation when he wandered off.
He is now in the psych ward of Parkland Hospital following a city-wide search by Dallas police.
Police are working to obtain a court order to hold Lively at the hospital, against his will if necessary.
Authorities had monitored him a day earlier before he went missing, but want to take his temperature regularly to make sure he doesn't have a fever, a possible symptom of Ebola infection.
Texas public health officials say there is 'zero chance' Lively spread Ebola to anyone else - even if he became infected with it.
Centers for Disease Control Director Thomas Friedan sought to reassure the public during a press conference from Atlanta.
The CDC is currently monitoring 48 people in Dallas who may have come into contact with Duncan while he was contagious with the deadly disease.
Losing track of Lively was just the latest mistake by authorities in Texas, who have come in for heavy criticism over their handling of the Ebola outbreak.

All these CDC spokesmen forget we are dealing with people like Lively. Not a perfect world, never will be. Whatever can go wrong will go wrong when it requires the kind of communication and cooperation something like this mess requires. I feel for the military on the ground in Africa - that is way above the call of duty. Maybe Obama can schedule them for some golf now and then.

[h=1]Ebola outbreak: Spain investigates new case[/h]

The nurse was moved to a specialist unit late on Monday

Investigations are under way at a hospital in Madrid after a Spanish nurse became the first person known to have contracted the deadly Ebola virus outside west Africa.
The nurse had treated two Spanish missionaries who died of the disease after being flown home from the region.
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has announced plans to screen passengers flying to the United States.
Some 3,400 people have died in the outbreak - mostly in West Africa.
Barack Obama criticised foreign governments for not acting "as aggressively as they need to" against the outbreak.
"Countries that think that they can sit on the sidelines and just let the United States do it, that will result in a less effective response, a less speedy response, and that means that people die.
"And it also means that the potential spread of the disease beyond these areas in West Africa becomes more imminent," Mr Obama said.
First caseThe 40-year-old nurse was part of the Madrid team that treated Spanish priests Manuel Garcia Viejo and Miguel Pajares, who both died of the virus, Spanish officials say.




The hospital Carlos III de Madrid where the priests were treated is reported to have had extreme protective measures in place including two sets of overalls, gloves and goggles.
The nurse is in a stable condition and has been moved from the Alcorcon hospital to a specialised unit at the Carlos III hospital.
The other members of the medical team are being monitored.

Manuel Garcia Viejo, seen in a file photo, was the second Spanish priest to be repatriated from Africa with Ebola
Manuel Garcia Viejo, 69, died on 25 September after catching Ebola in Sierra Leone.
Miguel Pajares, 75, died in August after contracting the virus in Liberia.
The nurse began to feel unwell on 30 September, but only sought medical advice on Sunday.
Critical but stable
The likelihood of an Ebola outbreak in the US was "extremely low", President Obama said on Monday, but "we don't have a lot of margin of error".
Dr Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has ruled out banning flights to the US from countries suffering the outbreak, arguing the isolation would only worsen the outbreak within Africa and would deny those countries crucial aid.
Ebola spreads through contact with the bodily fluids of someone who has the virus and the only way to stop an outbreak is to isolate those who are infected.
There have been nearly 7,500 confirmed infections worldwide, with officials saying the figure is likely to be much higher in reality.
Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia have been hardest hit.
Thomas Duncan, the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the US, is being treated at a Dallas hospital in isolation. He caught the virus in his native Liberia.
Mr Duncan's condition is critical but stable, doctors said on Monday.
He has been given Brincidofovir, a new experimental drug for treating Ebola which was developed in North Carolina.

Ebola virus disease (EVD)

• Symptoms include high fever, bleeding and central nervous system damage
• Spread by body fluids, such as blood and saliva
• Fatality rate can reach 90% - but current outbreak has mortality rate of about 70%
• Incubation period is two to 21 days
• There is no proven vaccine or cure
• Supportive care such as rehydrating patients who have diarrhoea and vomiting can help recovery
• Fruit bats, a delicacy for some West Africans, are considered to be virus's natural host
