H/T Instapundit.The link is a Forbes article concerning a possible Ebola case at Duke University. The last paragraph mentions the news embargo:
The Associated Press and other press outlets have agreed not to report on suspected cases of Ebola in the United States until a positive viral RNA test is completed. But I’m covering tonight’s announcement of a potential Ebola case because it has been reported in my area, and at Duke University Medical Center, an institution where I hold an unpaid adjunct associate professor appointment in their Department of Medicine.
In some cases patients test negative for Ebola until days after the onset of symptoms. Plus there are other newsworthy and dangerous infectious diseases that start with flu-like symptoms like Ebola.
