My old joke used to be:

Two journalists are on TV reporting on tax reform. Suddenly a loud BOOM shakes the studio. Things fall over. People scream frantically.
First journalist: "What the heck was that????"
Second journalist: "We don't know, but one thing we can say at this point is that it certainly wasn't terrorism."

New joke:
Guy on a plane. Projectile vomiting, explosive diarrhea, bleeding from his eyeballs. He dies before they land.
First journalist: "What's going on?????"
Second journalist: "We don't know, but one thing we can say at this point is that it certainly wasn't Ebola."

Yes, and possibly vice-versa. Older man might have something making him throw up so much that it gives him an attack, or even choke or suffocate.

But, I would be damn careful.

An article on Drudge says NY emergency responders have been told NOT to say “Ebola” on the radio but use a code word instead. They are obviously trying to hide the truth from the public.

Just like when Muhammad is found stuck inside a water pipe that leads to a cities drinking water they automatically declare its not terrorism.

I think they can probably rule out Ebola visually because the final stage of Ebola is a massive hemorrhage from every orifice. Apparently this guy didn’t have that. Maybe heart attack?

72 hours unless politically it is important to decide with a cursory look. Then it takes a minute or two.

“yessiree,, that body is 72 degrees. No chance at all it Ebola”

They checked him for fever, but amazingly, his temperature was the same as the room.

We can quickly eliminate Ebola as a possible cause since he was coming from a place where Ebola has been observed and showed symptoms that MAY be consistent with Ebola before he dropped dead.

There’s also an outbreak of Marburg virus, though I don’t know if that is in Nigeria.

How could they determine cause of death so quickly?

Quoted in the NP comments:

"Relax. Once ebola affect the gay community, it will get the attention it needs from this president."

I have this crazy idea. Lets all stay away from vomiting Africans. But that’s just me. I would even say we should’nt import them.

It said cursory EXAM.

AT the point of vomiting, I get the impression there is even more to Ebola, so i can see making a cursory look.

Otherwise everyone is stuck on the plane.
