Another suspected (non-insured) Ebola patient is receiving expensive, time consuming medical attention after landing at Newark International Airport on Friday, clearing US Border and Customs Inspection and taking a long bus ride from New Jersey to a relative’s home in North Carolina before spiking a fever and contacting the CDC which triggered the hospital admission:
“….A male patient, age unknown, was transported today to Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, and is being tested this evening for Ebola virus infection.
The individual flew into Newark Liberty International Airport on Friday after traveling from Liberia through an unknown destination, then traveled to the Durham area on a commercial bus, according Aldona Wos, MD, secretary of the NC Department of Health and Human Services.
On Saturday, the individual was picked up by a relative and taken to the family’s home in Person County, north of Durham. After spiking a fever this morning, temperature unknown, the individual was transported to Duke Hospital and is currently isolated in a contained unit designated previous during training as the site for treatment of a potential Ebola patient.

“DHHS Secretary Aldona Wos opened the press conference with a lengthy statement as to how well-prepared Governor Pat McCrory is regarding the potential Ebola case. Wos indicated that the governor had spoken with New Jersey governor Christie this evening, presumably about contact tracing on the flight that arrived in Newark yesterday.
Dr. Wos seemed thrown off by a question about how the patient got to North Carolina from Newark. When she responded that it was a commercial bus, an unnamed official abruptly called the press conference to a close.
Before being interrupted, Dr. Wos said, “This person did not have symptoms on bus. This person has not been diagnosed with any specific condition yet.” “.

The very liberal LA Times is reporting this as
” Duke University evaluating potential Ebola patient; risk downplayed”
“…The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services emphasized that the patient, who was not identified, had no known exposure to Ebola and no other symptoms besides the fever. They said the patient’s blood sample would be tested Monday at a state-run health laboratory.”
So, the risk is being “downplayed” because the patient denies any contact with someone who had Ebola.  Which is completely understandable, because it’s not like someone who has been exposed to Ebola, and knows that they are at a very high risk of infection/death, would get on a plane to come to the US for expensive tax payer funded first world care, and then lie about all of the above in order to clear customs and have unrestricted mobility to move around the US at will.
The Progressives in charge have assured us that that would never happen, and that any objections to the importation of a deadly and highly contagious disease is just rayciss.
