A patient at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital is being tested for the deadly Ebola virus out of “an abundance of caution,” an official said.
Details about the patient were not revealed, but chief medical officer Dr. P.J. Brennan said in a statement that a patient which met the screening criteria for Ebola testing “is currently being evaluated” and is undergoing tests.

That's because Obama flew them here from Africa. Who knows why.
I wouldn't be surprised if the reasoning was the same as HIV I've heard "if only more heterosexuals were infected we could have a cure". Sick
How does one test for ‘ebola’?....................
Is there blood coming out of places where it shouldn’t...?
It shouldn’t be coming out of anywhere!..................
True, but if it’s oozing out of pores, tear ducts, etc., that’s a little different...
Hemorrhagic fever. You literally die from internal bleeding. 90% fatality rate.
That may just make you Megyn Kelly!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
(from the article) : "chief medical officer Dr. P.J. Brennan said in a statement that a patient which met the screening criteria
for Ebola testing “is currently being evaluated” and is undergoing tests."
Please note that Dr. P.J. Brennan has a Philadelphia office,
in addition to being accepted into practice in several regional hospitals.
The current source of possible infection remains unknown at this time.
Both my Daughters were there yesterday.
P.J. Brennan is a high-level executive and extensively published health care researcher, he’s been living in the C suite for 20+ years and, I presume, is relying on clinical staff for information.
Rest easy.
