Two passengers flew into Chicago from Liberia were sick and are now it two separate hospitals. From what I can tell there is a low probability that it's Ebola.

Thanks for the links. The Washington Post did note that there were 2 in Chicago, but I had not tracked down the story.

In addition to the ones taken to the hospital, at Dulles, there were 3 with fever and an additional 28 sent for additional screening to the CDC unit on site at the airports. I guess they were all told to self-monitor.

I don’t expect to hear much on national news about status and new suspected cases - too close to the election, and sending the Dems chances even lower. AP already said it is no longer “moving” suspected Ebola cases, unless there is a positive test or some such.
The local news may be the only sources on what’s going on for a while.
