Firefighter Joe Zanca said the man was isolated “based on his travel history.”

And....nothing in the story about said travel history.

Awesome article. Not

The building was evacuated and the patient was isolated at the scene

If they evacuated the building he probably had more than a headache, and his ebola-like symptoms were likely more than a cough and runny nose. Hopefully this is a false alarm.

October 12, 2014 - FRPR "onona" is missing in action. Has not been active since 10/07/2014. His wife returned from Europe on 10/04/2014:

BREAKING: FReeper Onona's wife on NJ flight from Brussels with Vomiting Passenger removed by CDC

Got the wife home now. As you may have assumed, the situation was a true cluster eff.

Plane full of Liberians, many unaccompanied minors. Basically, they are fleeing their country to get here, sick OR well.

She was sitting about 6 rows in front of the guy, and the smell was quite evident from the sick.

CDC; Customs; they had NO PLAN.

Customs just kept telling everyone that directions were coming directly from the White House (now don't that make you all warm and fuzzy ?)

People had already gotten through customs when the started a panic announcement to all Customs agents NOT to process anyone from this flight.

The patient is still not cleared as free from Ebola.

They took names and numbers, and sent all the other passengers on their way.

Again, thanks for all your kind thoughts and prayers. I guess time will tell now !

There is no way anyone from the infected countries in West Africa should be allowed to travel, period.

Wait until the travel histories consist of the neighborhood elementary school, the corner grocery and the nearby Walmart.
