Get back to us when we have test results. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23583307 I'm with you, I was just going to say the same thing. Why would "being tested" be released to the public anyways? Doesn't make sense. Let me know when someone explodes on the street, not when someone has a cough and sneeze and they are "being tested" The immediate results are bugging me too...these tests take DAYS to come back. So if the "quick-test" comes back negative and they get released back into the population...MORE spread...YAY DOOM (not cool man, not my happy place) "It's a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing." ~ Augstus Waters |

Which means that even if they're telling the truth, it actually wouldn't even mean that much. |

Nothing, Zip, NADA.. the patient in NYC is 100% Positive, so rather than tell people, and have them panic - they say nothing. |

I thought I read it takes up to 2 days for test to come back? Quoting: miabelieves They are BSing us. Within 45 minutes of the original story, the tests came back "negative". Coverup underway to prevent mass panic. Yep. It seems that the quick tests they are using are pretty much a waste of time anyway judging by the amount of false negatives being reported. |

[link to nypost.com] "Meanwhile, a woman in Columbus, Ohio, was tested for the Ebola virus after returning from a trip to a West African country plagued by the outbreak, according to NBC. The woman, 46, was in isolation at a local hospital after showing symptoms of the disease. Her test came back negative." And before everyone freaks out and says that the test could not come back that fast, consider that they didn't call all the news media the minute her blood was drawn. |

False negatives are possible but you don't know when they drew her blood for the test. I could have been 2 days ago. They are not required to alert the media as they are drawing her blood. |

I read that she was in the decontamination tent- she helped people get their suits clean and get them out of them. The article stated her brother or son (?) was some sort of dr or medic and was impressed with who thorough their decontamination routine was. Search and you can find the article. |

I heard Hannity say it was negative... but then again, I wouldn't trust him any farther than I could throw him Hannity must know more than the CDC is willing to tell anyone else.. if the NYC patient were negative, they would have been in front of cameras asap saying that. The Ohio patient was announced negative as soon as the PCR test results had stop smoking. The NYC patient, not a word. Nothing today, no update, no mention, zero new articles - it's like the entire story has disappeared. We have the attention span of hamsters at best, so no news, no headlines means "everything must be ok or they would tell us".. we know that's bullshit. The fact that there have been no updates on the NYC case, speaks volumes! The NYC hospital said it is "unlikely" the patient has Ebola, not the tests were negative. Hell - it is "extremely unlikely" that anyone in the United States would test positive for Ebola! Ebola is not something the United States has to deal with. So, I'd say the very first fucking patient in history to present - just fucking walk into an ER (not being shipped directly to the CDC) infected with Ebola in the US is generally"extremely unlikely". |
