Am I the only one annoyed by these "being tested" threads? 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"
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 61219175


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)

And the reports of the "negative" result don't come with the caveat, "there have been many false negatives in the past."

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

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Columbus, OH Public Health confirms one person, who recently traveled to West Africa, is being tested for the Ebola virus
it takes up to 3 weeks from the time you catch ebola for symptoms to appear

there could be hundreds of people walking around in the usa with ebola and not know it and spread it

its easy to spread ebola. they said its transmitted from body fluids. every time you use a public bathroom you touch others body fluids on sink handles, doors, toilets

there are trace levels of body fluids on everything. soft serve frozen yogurt machines usually have traces of feces on them that you cant see

every surface that anyone could have coughed on or touched has body fluids and then you touch your mouth or rub your eyes

We're not hearing a peep outta the NYC case though.
Nothing, Zip, NADA.. the patient in NYC is 100% Positive, so rather than tell people, and have them panic - they say nothing.

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.

Doom off.

[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.

11 Alive News here in Atlanta just did a report on Writebol and I could have sworn the reporter just said officals do not know how Nancy Writebol contracted ebola... she was not in direct contact with patients. She was more of a human resource type worker, i.e., secretary, etc


Can somebody confirm? I'm trying to find it in a link.

If this is the case, then this is a BIG issue...

Not one word about the patient in NYC that was being tested.

Writebol was working as the personnel coordinator, helping SIM missionaries entering the country. She also served as a certified nursing assistant. Her duties at the clinic included disinfecting doctors and nurses entering or leaving the Ebola treatment area. Her husband was the technical services manager at the same facility. Nancy was diagnosed with Ebola on July 25, 2014

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.

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".
