Original Message US Hospitals Have Had 68 Ebola Scares, CDC Says
American hospitals and state labs have handled at least 68 Ebola scares over the last three weeks, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Hospitals in 27 states alerted the CDC of the possible Ebola cases out of an abundance of caution amid the growing outbreak in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Fifty-eight cases were deemed false alarms after CDC officials spoke with medical professions about patient exposures and symptoms, but blood samples for the remaining 10 were sent to the CDC for testing, the agency told ABC News today.
...
Once a hospital or state lab notifies the CDC of a possible Ebola case based on travel history and symptoms, CDC officials talk to someone familiar with the suspected patient’s history to determine whether blood testing for the virus is necessary, said CDC spokeswoman Kristen Nordlund. They discuss symptoms and determine whether the patient may have been exposed to the virus.

Wait... Am I to understand that 58 possible cases in the US didn't even get blood test confirmation to make sure they were negative? Visual/verbal diagnosis... LOL I guess this is where this WHO protocol fits in...

Thread: WHO - Investigating Cause of Death During an Outbreak of Ebola Virus Haemorrhagic Fever Using VERBAL AUTOPSY

This would help explain why every single case outside of West Africa is said to be "negative"... are they even fucking testing these people? What a complete joke...
