They are intentionally withholding critical information. Was this guy in Canada, where the seasonal flu has already started, or was he in and Ebola-infected region of West Africa? Its not appropriate to simply refer to "a foreign country" without communicating the critical information on whether that travel is relevant to Ebola fears.
I've been saying for months that it's been in the US for awhile, but the gov wouldn't tell us about it until they had a situation where it could spread.
hmmmmm......
