Michael Monnig, a deputy who accompanied county health officials Zachary Thompson and Christopher Perkins into the apartment where Thomas Eric Duncan stayed in Dallas. News 8s Jason Whitely spoke to Chuck Moreno, who had gone into the CareNow facility with his 15-year-old son to get a flu shot Wednesday. Moreno said he saw a patient, whose skin was flushed and who was hunched over but walking, enter the clinic with his wife. Within minutes, police and fire units surrounded the facility, taped off a gray SUV, and isolated other patients at the facility. Moreno asked a CareNow employee if it was related to Ebola, and he said the employee nodded her head yes. Moreno said he and his son quarantined themselves into an examination room, put on surgical masks they found in the room and sprayed disinfectant on themselves. Moreno said staff told them he and his son couldnt leave the clinic and would be transferred to a major medical center, but he was unsure which one at the time. Outside the building, people in hazardous material suits readied an ambulance for transport of the patient.
