So the number being ‘watched’ for Ebola by Obama’s CDC increases again. First it was just a couple people. Then 48 people, then 70. Now, it’s at 125 people who are being watched in this country for Ebola. According to Red Flag News (via Washington Examiner), there are now 76 people who came into contact with Thomas Duncan while he had Ebola in this country. That’s up from 70 just a couple of days ago too.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now monitoring 125 people for symptoms of the deadly Ebola virus, including 76 who came into contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian national who died of the disease last week in a Dallas hospital.
CDC Director Tom Frieden told reporters Tuesday that so far, only one nurse who helped care for Duncan has contracted Ebola and no other people have been diagnosed with the disease.
Nina Pham, 26, who Frieden did not identify by name, remains in stable condition, he said, while the CDC continues to monitor her boyfriend and her dog.
“It’s possible we will see other people become ill,” Frieden said.
