"An individual traveling from Liberia has been diagnosed with Ebola in the United States," Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC, said in a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
State and federal health officials announcing the confirmed case repeatedly stressed the difficulties of contracting Ebola, which can be spread through bodily fluids or infected animals but not through the air or by water.
This person who is infected left Liberia on Sept. 19 and arrived in the U.S. the following day to visit family in this country. The person, who was not identified, had no symptoms at the time and began showing symptoms about four days after arriving in the U.S.

People who traveled on the flight with this man are not in danger because the patient was not symptomatic at the time. Frieden said the man's temperature was checked before departing on the plane.
"There is zero risk of transmission on the flight," Frieden said.
Frieden declined to say if the person with Ebola is a U.S. citizen. This man was visiting and staying with family members, he said. He is not believed to have been involved in the Ebola response, Frieden said.

I can't
I feel sorry for him. I hope he's okay and at least he was with family.
