Before everyone goes hysterical again, remember there are a number of other tropical diseases known in Africa that have symptoms somewhat akin to Ebola.

Per Yale-New Haven Hospital, this student has ONE symptom = a low grade fever. That's consistent with ebola, but it's also consistent with a thousand other things.

They wouldn't have 2 round-the-clock physicians (and 2 round-the-clock nurses) for a patient with just a low grade fever. Either his symptoms are greater than that, or they are quite certain that it is Ebola. There is simply no other explanation. And remember, they would have the results of the quick test by now, so it is quite possible that they are quite certain it is Ebola, but won't make it official until the other test confirms.
