| 2 Possible Ebola Patients Hospitalized in D.C. Area |
| 2014-10-04 |
| [WASHINGTON.CBSLOCAL] A hospital in D.C. says a person with possible Ebola symptoms has been admitted out of “an abundance of caution,” but the city’s health department says it has “no confirmed cases” at this time. Just a few hours later, officials from Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in Maryland released a statement about a patient “presented with flu-like symptoms and a travel history that matches criteria for possible Ebola.” “Our care team immediately implemented guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ensure the appropriate tests and care for the patient as well as the safety of everyone within our facility,” the statement reads. “We have procedures and equipment in our facility to safely handle patients with infectious conditions.” Officials say the patient is currently in isolation and showing signs of improvement. “At this time, lab results indicate that this patient has another illness and we do not have a confirmed diagnosis of Ebola,” officials said. |

| #11 Is Ebola really all that scary?? A whole bunch of dead Africans suggests yes. The fact that offialdom is saying don't worry only adds to the evidence. |

| #9 I'm sorry but I don't believe this bull shit. Is Ebola really all that scary?? The way all these experts are reacting I'm getting more skeptical by the minute. As Insty says re AGW, I'll believe that it's a problem when the people telling me that ACT like it's a problem. I've seen countless disease scares in my life from polio to SARS to Swine flue to Avian flu etc. Is Ebola just another case of the gov't. crying wolf to gain yet more control and push their incipient tyranny? |

International Rescue Cmte., as speaking on behalf for approxi 34 international aid groups. * Lest we fergit, FREEREPUBLIC + DRUDGEREPORT Artics = unless stopped, Ebola may potens infect the entire world by circa EOY = December 2015, wid DEATH RATE possib reaching as high as 50-75% of those infected. PERSONALLY I BLAME APE LEADER "CAESAR" FROM "DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES" SUMMER 2014 FLICK. Caesar's "great escape" of simians en masse from human-led/controlled laboratory bondage, experimentation, + ultimately annihilation led to the outbreak of the "Monkey Virus" derivative which infected = killed off nearly all of humanity. |
