DALLAS \u2014 President Obama raised the possibility on Thursday that he might appoint an \u201cEbola czar\u201d to manage the government\u2019s response to the deadly virus as anxiety grew over the air travel of an infected nurse.<\/p>\n

Schools closed in two states, hospitals and airlines kept employees home from work, and Americans debated how much they should worry about a disease that has captured national attention but has so far infected only three people here.<\/p>\n

A federal official said that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had broadened its search for contacts of Amber Joy Vinson, the second nurse infected with Ebola at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital here, after interviewing family members who gave a different version of events from Ms. Vinson\u2019s. The nurse had said she had a slight fever before boarding a flight from Cleveland to Dallas on Monday. But family members said she had appeared remote and unwell during her trip to Ohio over the weekend.<\/p>\n
