And let's be clear. SIX people according to Sanjay Gupta were being tested for Ebola, not one. He states the information wasn't made public, but this one was.

Are white people ever going to learn to name African countries?

Jesus christ, tweet in OP....WHERE in Africa? I'd like to know if it's another Liberia case. I'd like to know if maybe it spread to a country that I hadn't known of yet. I'd like to know of more than just a continent.

And I'm not even going to get into the fear mongering shyt. The media fukking disgust me. This shyt isn't going to become a pandemic, the disease is relatively difficult to spread assuming proper procedures are followed, we're fine.

Ebola isn't an airborne virus anyway

Ebola Guidance for Airlines

Management of ill people on aircraft if Ebola virus is suspected
Crew members on a flight with a passenger or other crew member who is ill with a fever, jaundice, or bleeding and who is traveling from or has recently been in a risk area should follow these precautions:

• Keep the sick person separated from others as much as possible.
• Provide the sick person with a surgical mask (if the sick person can tolerate wearing one) to reduce the number of droplets expelled into the air by talking, sneezing, or coughing.
• Give tissues to a sick person who cannot tolerate a mask. Provide a plastic bag for disposing of used tissues.
• Wear impermeable disposable gloves for direct contact with blood or other body fluids.

While New York held its collective breath last week, frightened over reports that an anonymous patient at Mount Sinai Medical Center was infected with the deadly Ebola virus, Eric Silverman’s feverish eyes were glued to CNN.

“Is that me they are talking about?” the incredulous 27-year-old Brooklyn grad student asked his nurse, Margaret Kraus, as she tended to him in the intensive care unit’s isolation room.

It was, indeed.

Silverman is the mystery man who was quarantined in the Manhattan hospital for three anxious days after he told doctors he had just returned from Sierra Leone in West Africa, where he had been doing humanitarian aid work. He was complaining of flu-like symptoms all too familiar to Ebola victims — a high fever, a sore throat, headache and diarrhea. The hospital had no choice but to isolate him and gear up for what might be the first of many such scares.



...

Dr. Annette Osher alerted the hospital’s emergency room doctors that she was sending them her patient and that he had recently returned from Sierra Leone, one of the countries hardest hit by Ebola. As Silverman and his mother got into a livery car close to midnight, he warned his mother: “Don’t mention the ‘E-word’ in the cab, or else we’re never going to make it up there.”

Silverman was greeted by Mount Sinai staff wearing protective masks. They placed him in a separate room, away from the rest of the emergency room patients.
