Dallas County prosecutor may charge Ebola patient

The man at the center of America's Ebola scare is in critical condition. Thomas Eric Duncan is on a ventilator and receiving kidney dialysis. But there are lingering questions about whether Duncan knew he was exposed to Ebola when he boarded a plane to the U.S.

Now, the Dallas county prosecutor is considering potential criminal charges against him.

CNN's Ed Lavandera is OutFront from Dallas.

    Kind of a moot point now, isn't it?

    all travel needs to stop out of the area of infection, a selfish decision not to disclose his contact with a patient on the health screening has made it unsafe at a regional hospital. Blaming is not the answer but taking the necessary steps, to prevent further contamination and sending the current patients to Atlanta quarantine are the correct steps. The second patient came down with a fever Thursday and not tested until Tuesday, why the delay ?
