A man in Canada who was suspected of having Ebola has tested negative for viral hemorrhagic fevers, according to the World Health Organization and Canadian health officials.

Viral hemorrhagic fevers is a generic term that refers to a number of diseases found in Africa, including Ebola hemorrhagic fever, Lassa fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and yellow fever, according to Denise Werker, deputy chief medical health officer at the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health.

Testing on the man continues, WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl said in a tweet. "May be malaria. Will know today."

Just the news would cause chaos that would enable the more effective spread of the disease.

LOL!

On a more sober note, it must be a relief since Ebola is likely a horrific way to die.

If Obama and his healthcare ideas had their way, they would force Ebola virologists to develop a strain that only targets those over the age of 60.
