KCTV5 ^ | KCTV5

Posted on 10/04/2014 10:12:47 PM PDT by jodster36

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - KCTV5 reports an apartment building in Kansas City, MO. is being sealed off Saturday night, and a source close to KCTV5 says it's because a person who lives there is sick with something contagious. Police at the apartment building told KCTV5 that all or part of the medical facility the person was taken to is now quarantined as well. The person was taken to Rockhill Research Hospital. No one at the hospital will confirm what the person has at this time. We'll continue to follow this developing story, and bring you updates as we get them.

hey....watch that Podunk Arkansas stuff...lolololoo

I am in south east Arkansas....BTW, nearest tv station is in Louisiana..

Having said all that, I am not going to bite on the conspiracy angle yet. I ....at the present time, (reserving my right to object) believe that the nation is currently hypersensitive and politically fractured.

I believe what is happening is that news agencies are falling for fake social media accounts, and authorities are over reacting to everything that looks like ebola...and they don’t know what it should look like.

james...Kristin Taylor, who I trust implicitly, filed this report:

“A Kansas City TV station, KCTV-5 reported Saturday night someone was being quarantined at Rockhill Research Hospital (Research Medical Center), according to their sister station in Wichita, KWCH.

A source in Kansas City confirmed the story to the Gateway Pundit and added some details.

A Nigerian woman was taken to the hospital with a high fever and Ebola like symptoms. Her apartment building was quarantined, though that may have been lifted later.

The source added the Nigerian woman initially tested negative for Ebola and was released (or set to be released) but was called back to the hospital. The source said parts of the hospital may be quarantined but the hospital is not confirming anything.

The CDC is reportedly on the way, according to the source.”

Since I have you already on my post page,,,I will say this..

Many of the false reports so far have turned out to be Malaria.

The reason is the symptoms initially are exactly the same,.

It takes a day or two,or three depending, to do a PCR DNA test to determine if this is or anything is, Ebola. They can, if they want to, do a PCR in less than a day from start to report. But it’s a rare thing..

I hope it’s just malaria.

I read in another thread that ebola and malaria can be confused

If a lot of these suspected cases really turn out to be malaria that will be a relief.

No, no.. just odd phrasing. Was the patient out of the hospital, or at the filling-out-the-discharge forms station?

The way I read it, she was held...and the CDC had to come in and check.

My guess is..(trying to decipher their protocol) that the CDC will send out a sample and do a quick PCR.

BTW, far as I know, a quick run PCR is more than adequate to get the proper result...The ebola virus has a signature that is unique.

No...generally they use independent labs.
