    It won't take too many ebola cases to overwhelm ER/cliinic/hospitals nationwide.

    The way it starts with a low-grade fever, then the coughing, puking, and that crap gets everywhere. They'll have to close the facility to decontaminate it.

    I got my flu shot today. I normally do not do this but with the symptoms for both being similar, I figured why not. At least then they'll suspect Ebola first instead of just sending me home.

    BREAKING: A Texas nurse who has been infected with Ebola took a Frontier Airlines flight the day before she showed symptoms: http://dpo.st/1qt2H7U

    Don't forget the nurse flew DFW to Cleveland 10/10 as well. Those little dots of possible contamination are scary if you think about it. Family in Cleveland had a few days of contact. Now they have been in contact with their friends and relatives. Add the airport/planes and any places the infected nurse has been lately........ Not good.

    Both of the other victims took about 48 hours to get positive diagnosis. And the CDC has publicly acknowledged that's how long the test takes. This 2nd nurse just went to the hospital yesterday and they had a positive diagnosis by early this morning. 24 hours? Do they have a new, faster testing technique?

    Boisen of Colorado’s Corginex said that his team’s product in-progress can confirm the presence of Ebola in only 15 minutes, and is already being used to detect Lassa, a similar virus, spreading in West Africa.
