Have you been in a panic due to the Ebola scare in AmarilloBSA hospital was on lockdown starting at 4pm, treating a high risk patient that was a possible Ebola case right here in Amarillo.  Now, the lockdown is lifted, and the terror is over...for now...

At 6:48pm, the lockdown of BSA hospital was lifted and BSA is reporting that the patient didn't come into contact with anyone that had been to an Africa country with Ebola in the last 21 days.

Still many started to panic when the news hit, I even had friends calling me asking what kind of gun they should buy?  Um, guns won't stop Ebola...

"UPDATE 5:53 P.M. -- The BSA emergency room was put on lockdown at 4 p.m. BSA is treating the patient as high risk.

UPDATE 5:45 P.M. -- The ER is on lockdown. All of the other patients have been isolated to the back of the ER.

The patient had only contact with a nurse and the nurse continues to care for the patient.

BSA is not treating this as Ebola, until Ebola is confirmed. They are however taking precautions.

AMARILLO -- BSA is on lock down because a patient went to the emergency room with signs and symptoms of Ebola."

Apparently, the patient doesn't have the travel history to have came in contact with a country suffering from an Ebola outbreak, but has had contact with someone who has been to 4 countries in Africa, all of which have an Ebola outbreak.
