Anonymous Coward User ID: 78113998 United States 01/15/2020 12:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Reports started early Tuesday alleging a Union College student had been diagnosed with a communicable disease, but initially very little information was available concerning the situation. Contact with Barbourville ARH Hospital and the Knox County Health Department didn’t provide immediate answers, and a statement from Union College initially denied the report. But, in a statement sent later Tuesday afternoon, Union College Senior Director of Communications Maisie Nelson said, “Union College was notified by officials at Barbourville ARH that a student is currently in the emergency room under quarantine. “Our student is undergoing tests to identify a virus. So far, we know that the student did not contract the Ebola virus, as has been speculated by posts on Facebook, and that it is not airborne. Also, I’ve been told that the student did not travel out of the country during the break.” Kadetz confirmed following his interview that the virus has not yet been identified, and the hospital would be sending bloodwork by a special hazmat carrier to be tested by the CDC in Atlanta. [link to www.nolangroupmedia.com (secure)] So they haven’t identified the virus (only btw not Ebola— of course they do not actually know it’s not Ebola as they haven’t tested yet) but he had relatives visit him three weeks ago from west Africa and it seems to be a hemorrhagic fever of some kind. Also they are still seeing patients in the emergency room he is currently quarantined in |

Remember when t groups said they could contaminate subways or stadiums and it would take days to weeks before anyone knew. |
