As the virus entered the US territory this 2014, an EBOLA outbreak was feared resulting to hundreds of calls flooding CDC to ask about the virus. On the other hand on Sunday, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins updated that Texan authorities have found a missing homeless man who may have been bared to the deadly virus.

In relation to EBOLA outbreak update 2014, Judge Jenkins spoke at a news conference early Sunday that authorities were looking for a low-risk person who had interacted with the first US EBOLA patient, Thomas Eric Duncan. He said authorities had been trying to find and get him to a relaxed, empathetic abode where they can observe him and care for his every need for the full incubation period. He also noted that the missing man has not done any wrongdoing.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Doctor Tom Frieden said the man was last monitored on Saturday, but then disappeared. He also added that CDC was being flooded with hundreds of calls about EBOLA daily, as doctors treated Duncan at a Dallas hospital. He said they were getting approximately 800 phone calls per day about EBOLA, which is a severe increase from around 50 per day after citizens dreaded a 2014 virus outbreak in the US.

Nonetheless, the director said that undoubtedly the US would halt the feared outbreak or EBOLA in Texas. He also noted that Duncan's health had worsened. As said by the hospital, he was in critical condition. Dr. Frieden also expressed that insofar as they fathom experimental medicine, which has aided other American EBOLA patients; it was not being used on Duncan.

As stated by CDC Director Tom Frieden, officials have been evaluating 114 people allegedly having had contact with Duncan, and discovered that 66 of them did not. He said officials have known 10 people who seemed to have had interaction with Duncan, which consisted of seven healthcare staffs and three family or community acquaintances. He added that officials could not exclude 38 other individuals and that those people would be monitored for 21 days to see if they came down with fevers.  Frieden said, "That is how we stopped every outbreak in the world with Ebola."

Texas Department of State health Service Commissioner Dr. David Lakey stated that since Duncan's diagnosis on September 2014, Texas has no any further EBOLA cases and nobody else has reported any indications of the virus. He added the state remained very careful to guarantee that they treat individuals and observe the condition in the most necessary way possible.

As of October 4, 2014 update, the first US confirmed EBOLA patient's condition had worsened from severe but unwavering to critical. Experimental drug ZMapp was not administered to the patient. The drug was used to treat previous EBOLA cases as stocks depleted at the time of his infection.

CDC remained firm in emphasizing that EBOLA outbreak in the US is unlikely to occur. And that the first 2014 case does not connote an outburst of the virus in American populaces.
