My guess is that 99% of these cases will turn out to either be a common illness or a case of nerves on the part of people who either were in West Africa or in contact with someone who was.
That said, it highlights how completely selfish Obama and his CDC minions are. They are needlessly causing panic and wasting millions of dollars with these now daily potential Ebola situations around the country.

I know of one hospital that has had two such scares. Patients had recently traveled to West Africa. Both cases turned out to be malaria.

But at the rate unscreened potential carriers are arriving, that could still multiple hot cases per week, each of which will be ignored, bungled or otherwise dealt with imperfectly. Retransmissions are likely to already be in progress on confirmation.
And the other 99% false alarms are phenomenally expensive, every time.
And with the very first case of retrans happening pretty much as the pessimists predicted, and happening to a healthcare worker in full PPE (which I would not have predicted), we’re looking at public safety and healthcare workers who are gonna think long and hard about whether the risk is worth it.
