SMALL POX????



Test Results Expected Today Following Hospital Quarantine


Test results are expected back Wednesday on a patient that prompted a quarantine at a southern Kentucky hospital.

Concerns mounted Tuesday when a Marymount Hospital patient had a condition resembling small pox.

Brian Reamer is with Laurel County emergency management. "He was just having some unusual circumstances going on and it was pretty much a high fever."

The truck driver had a condition described as "unusual", but hospital officials are not elaborating on that.

The combination of symptoms forced the hospital to lock down--no one could get in and no one could get out.(snip)

A truck driver with a possible case of small pox. Oh my God. Let's pray that it's something else.

I'm surprised this even made it to the news...

If they've got it this would be a perfect way to spread it, along with those metal boxes of course.
