Hospitals across the country are isolating and testing potential Ebola patients, erring on the side of caution as the largest Ebola outbreak to date rages in West Africa.
A 46-year-old Columbus, Ohio, woman who recently traveled to one of the three countries affected by the outbreak is being held in isolation at a local hospital, the Columbus health department said today. She was hospitalized several days ago but is doing well as she awaits Ebola test results from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which are expected today or Wednesday, the health department said.

Good thing Obama brought that disease to the USA; he couldn’t stand to see the rest of the world getting it and not the US.
Is Obamacare covering all their bills?
Old news from yesterday. She tested negative.
No, that wouldn’t be fair under the warped liberal code of fairness.
Glad to hear it.
Imagine how pleased the patient her family and the medical staff are.
I think Drudge has it posted that she tested negative.
Definitely good news, plus quick test results. Which should make us wonder what is going on in NYC at Mount Sunai hospital. It has been at least four days and not a peep on the condition or results.

Maybe if there were to be an Ebola outbreak at the White House and in Congress, they would stop all travel to and from West African countries, and secure our borders, or if they all died, people with a little sense could step in and do it.
Agree.
I suspect that's what it would take.
I thought she tested -negative - already
Mars Attacks has the best scene ever(concerning congress)
Indeed. We need more good stories/outcomes.
Similar to the 2 children in CA that have polio...renamed polio-like.
If there is ebola testing is done in the USA, I would prefer that it be done at the White House.
I imagine anyone who has been to Africa recently and who feels the slightest bit sick is going to get themselves tested out of an abundance of precaution.
One of the medical centers who have agreed to take Ebola patients on FB posted and exclaiming this is the best explanation of Ebola to date..it’s not airborne and stuff like that. I questioned the article and asked why did the staff have hazmats and respirators on? I was curtly told if I read the article I’d understand. I retread the article and I still don’t understand. I than looked to see who wrote the article and it was a person who wrote for Mother Jones!
