[FREEBEACON] Thomas Eric Duncan, the first and only person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, is currently at death's door, and "fighting for his life," according to Dr. Tom Frieden, the Director of the Center for Disease Control (CDC)."As of now, the man in Dallas [Texas], who's fighting for his life, is the only patient to develop Ebola in the U.S. We know that there are going to be other concerns and rumors and we'll track everyone one of those down. We want people to be concerned, but appropriately concerned, about people who have the travel and the symptoms that might suggest they need testing for Ebola, and if they do we'll get that testing done promptly," Frieden said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Government and health officials have scrambled to quell public fears since Duncan was diagnosed late last week.
