I think they can probably rule out Ebola visually because the final stage of Ebola is a massive hemorrhage from every orifice. Apparently this guy didn’t have that. Maybe heart attack?
Yes, or suffocation, something. Maybe even one of the other diseases that can cause much vomiting.
That's not a given. When, the end varies and depends on other health status factors of the victim.
But, bureaucrats continue to pretend, because they protect themselves by hiding behind the numbers. Everybody do what CDC says, because if you *think* using both the CDC's box and outside that box because you're a warfighter, then some leftist government absolutists will nip away at your life.
The CDC is incorrectly cited often by its own people and other government bureaucrats, that "you can only get Ebola from contact ..."
When, the CDC documentation actually says you can get Ebola from any method of transmission of a fluid (including airborne transmission of that fluid) from a contagious Ebola victim ... to you. ("saliva or mucus ... these fluids may transmit the disease")
That is similar, now, to Obama's sharp contrast in an earlier statement that the chances of an Ebola outbreak in the USA were small ... only to lately (yesterday?) ... state that such an outbreak is not likely to be serious.
The goal posts keep moving.
