Yeah...the passenger was a Liberian.
There is a interview with the guy sitting next to him. There is a link some post back to the CNN interview.
If you listen to what the guy said, (pay no attention to the newsy babe) he said that the man had a problem with his eyes that made him dizzy, some hour later, he was told that the man had a easily treatable medical issue and there was no ebola threat.
But I gotta tell you that you would never know this by reading the replies on this thread.
Ok thanks. I read the local NBC affiliate report too now. I guess his condition has been identified to be positively not Ebola by some other methods.
I hate to be paranoid but really, I think if we are going to continue to let Liberians and other West Africans in this country and they get sick traveling here or shortly after arrival they should ALL be tested. No matter what. It seems crazy to me to not test any person exhibiting symptoms similar to Ebola when they are from those countries.
I guess we just have to trust the disease was ruled out somehow at this point.
Detached retina possibly? I don’t think that is easily treated but not sure.
