“ During boarding formalities for his return trip to Accra, at the international terminal of MMA, Mr. Osei, who had obviously become weak at this time, was subjected to Ebola Virus test by port health officials, the result of which was negative. No further attention was paid to him after his Ebola Virus result read negative but the passenger later slumped and died around the port health office.”
So this passenger was waiting for his "yellow card" to fly out, but became very ill. They cleared him when his field test came up negative. Then he drops dead waiting for his flight. Then his body just laid there, waiting for someone to pick it up.
Dear Lord...
This is quite alarming to me. And of course, this leads me to the obvious-- how often are these tests, these on-the-spot tests, false negatives? And what do these tests consist of.. taking the temperature and? The guy was obviously very sick, why would he be cleared for continual travel? This clearly warranted further testing. And a really frightening thought is, how often is this happening?
Yeah.
I have to wonder how often these negatives are really positives that just haven’t happened yet.
