MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (WSVN) -- A sick person under the age of 18 who traveled to the U.S. from West Africa has been admitted to two South Florida hospitals Sunday, sources said.

Doctors have indicated they are prepared if he turns out to have Ebola, but officials said this is not believed to be the case.

If nothing....then why to the hospital. With this criteria, every person from every plane from any of these countries should be “quarantined”.

West Africa has been given the Green Light by Zero.

They’re all running here while the entrances are open.

Miami? I’d have thought that to be a first vector, or Houston, but not Dallas until we learned of the 10K Liberian enclave there.

There is no such thing as ‘may be nothing, but’ anymore.

Duncan was released from Presbyterian the first time because when the nurses asked him where he’d been, he said ‘Liberia’ so they let him go because he hadn’t been to ‘Africa’.

Per Ann Barnhardt and Lucianne, here on FR.

Every person from every plane from any of these countries should be tested before being allowed into the U.S.

Did Barack Obama Allow Ebola Into the U.S.?

” The White House said Wednesday it will not impose travel restrictions or introduce new airport screenings to prevent additional cases of Ebola from entering the United States.

Spokesman Josh Earnest said that current anti-Ebola measures, which include screenings in West African airports and observation of passengers in the United States, will be sufficient to prevent the “wide spread” of the virus.”

There are no direct flights from Liberia to Dallas, TX. That particular guy probably made at least one stop in the US before eventually landing in Dallas.

Patient zero flew through Dulles (similar sounding name to Dallas).

Another story -
Officials believe a boy visiting Miami Beach from West Africa who was hospitalized this weekend is not likely to have Ebola.

The boy went to Mount Sinai Medical Center when he fell ill. Hospital officials said the probability that he had Ebola was extremely low, but out of an abundance of caution he was transferred Sunday to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where further tests were to be conducted.

Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine told the Miami Herald that after speaking Sunday with officials from the Florida Department of Health and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it appears the likelihood of Ebola is very low.

Jackson spokesman Edwin O’Dell released the following statement: “Jackson has been publicly forthcoming in asserting our confidence and readiness, and that we have established and tested protocols to deal with infectious diseases in general and with Ebola in specific. We will do everything to ensure safety and treatment for all of our patients. Jackson takes patient privacy serious and will not release information without consent.”

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Let’s hope, because if the Democraps keep the Senate or even worse keep the Senate and take the house, this Kenyan fool is going to go into overdrive.
