‘It’s positive for Ebola.’ Dreaded words set CDC’s emergency operation in motion.

The emergency operations office at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta was very quiet. It was late in the afternoon on Tuesday, and a dozen or more CDC staff had gathered to hear the latest news out of Dallas about the suspected Ebola patient, Thomas Eric Duncan.

David Kuhar, an infection control medical officer at the CDC, was listening in.

He knew he might be flying out sooner rather than later, which is why he drove to work that day instead of riding his bike, as he usually did. On the conference call were local and state health officials from Texas.

And they had news about Duncan’s lab results:

“It’s positive for Ebola.”
