Why the media are covering Ebola in Texas

A day after President Trump said he had ordered an all-out effort to stop the spread of Ebola, the media is reporting that the U.S. has confirmed one case of the coronavirus in Texas, as well as one death.

The Associated Press says there are three confirmed deaths.
“There are at least six confirmed cases and six deaths, so it’s very clear that Texas has confirmed two cases of the disease and one person has died,” White House deputy press secretary Michael Short said Monday.

“The president is continuing to monitor the situation closely.”
CNN is reporting two patients in Texas have died of Ebola.

A total of three deaths have been reported, while another person is in isolation.
