You no kid me. Ebola made it to the Great Satan? Less work for us. Allah be praised.
Whatever they case, they sent the person straight to Presby.
They probably ask them questions about their symptoms and whether or not they have been or west africa or had contact with someone how has recently.
It means they asked the individual about his(her) travels and his contacts and learned (s)he is at high risk of having Ebola.
It probably means that the patient had reason to believe he or she had been exposed to the Ebola virus.
Means they are in a higher risk group but not that they actually are infected.
Ping!
Get back to me when the blood tests come back. Jeez..
So, was this person in close proximity to Duncan?
Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and it is our duty.
Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121.
Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isn’t this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: “Stopping travel from Africa won’t do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola.” “You can’t get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others.” “Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies.” What about ours? You’ve seen the stock market these last few days.
Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.

No mention of skin tone or if he visited W. Africa lately.
