Two people traveling from Liberia are being evaluated at Chicago hospitals after they became ill on separate flights landing at O’Hare International Airport Tuesday.
Officials from several area health agencies and hospitals in Chicago released a statement Tuesday saying there have been no confirmed cases of Ebola and there is no threat to the general public. Both travelers, a child and an adult, are undergoing medical evaluations for their symptoms, but are not currently being tested for Ebola.
When I posted several links on this topic here at FR last week, my comments/posts were held for review and no reply was given when I asked if there was a problem with the material or if protocol was broken. As of yesterday, my posts/comments are no longer being held for review, without explanation.
Feel free to scroll the entire list of links for this morning's Ebola related stories here to post independently at FR at will.
