Second Patient Hospitalized in D.C. Area With Possible Ebola Virus
UPDATED: Oct. 3, 2014 2:46 p.m.
WASHINGTON (WNEW) — A hospital in D.C. says a person with possible Ebola symptoms has been admitted out of “an abundance of caution,” but the city’s health department says it has “no confirmed cases” at this time.
Just a few hours later, officials from Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in Maryland released a statement about a patient “presented with flu-like symptoms and a travel history that matches criteria for possible Ebola.”
“Our care team immediately implemented guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ensure the appropriate tests and care for the patient as well as the safety of everyone within our facility,” the statement reads. “We have procedures and equipment in our facility to safely handle patients with infectious conditions.”
Officials say the patient is currently in isolation and showing signs of improvement.
“At this time, lab results indicate that this patient has another illness and we do not have a confirmed diagnosis of Ebola,” officials said.
Plague ping... Bringing it home
Operation Protect “Operation Ebola-4-All”
Shady Grove Hospital is Rockville/Gaithersburg, Montgomery Co. Maryland. A DC suburb
Nice.
I can walk out of my office and see the Shady Grove complex. It’s less than 2 blocks away.
My girlfriend works in another hospital/medical center a few miles away.
Thanks Obama.
Probably not Ebola, but how much Federal control is now being exerted to make sure that the message has the approved spin and will real cases be hidden?
Flu season is here. Very similar initial symptoms. Going to get fugly.
Did they pass though Dulles airport with the Dallas ebola patient?
DC? Grumpy cat should be happy. “Goooooood”. Lol. Let them worthless POS’s get it!
They are flying here to be diagnosed and treated if necessary.
That will be our downfall.
Yeah, my local hospital where I had cancer surgery.
Great FR nic!
““no confirmed cases”
All you need to know and listen for.
Ignore this type of “click-generating” media hype.
Not enough hurricanes this year to boost ratings I guess.
I don’t know this hospital, but it seems unlikely to have the proper Ebola quarantine capabilities in place.
This is two patients with ebola symptoms in the DC area, in two different medical facilities, correct?
They are storming the castle walls.
This was breaking local news at 3pm on radio.
The article info is all we have at this point.
This could be the reason for the coming press conference to spread BS.
Don’t panic, y’all have a few months left. LOL
YES! Thank you!
