A 63-year-old man died during a flight from Nigeria to New York's JFK after vomiting profusely - but it was only a 'cursory' exam by the CDC that confirmed he did not have Ebola. The passenger boarded an Arik Air plane out of Lagos, Nigeria, on Wednesday night, but passed away before the plane reached its final destination.
Flight attendants called the CDC, Port Authority and customs officials, who then boarded the plane as it touched down, forcing 145 worried passengers to remain on board.
The authorities then conducted tests on the body and it was only a short evaluation that suggested he did not have the deadly virus, prompting concerns there are still 'vulnerabilities' in airports.

Sounds like a textbook heart attack, actually. Vomiting is a common symptom. Ebola patients on the other hand don’t vomit and drop dead.

Yes, but at least we didn’t penalize his fledgling democracy by forbidding him to fly.....
To: traumer
If he did have Ebola........this Govt will NEVER admit it.

Wow!
145 people going straight into quarantine! That's a lot!
Wait ... What--? He didn't have Ebola? No quarantine needed? So, those 145 passengers have now been dispersed among the general population? In New York City?
Well ... as long as the CDC said it was OK ...

However there have been no new patients in recent months and, according to the World Health Organization, The WHO, aren't they the folks I just read about that made a ton of money of their fear mongering of the swine flu? All of these world organizations, especially the U.N. need to have their plugs pulled with prejudice.

They gave him an honorary roster position so they could call it, “Work place acute nausea with unexpected complications resulting in a lifeless condition not dissimilar to not being alive.”

Sounds like a textbook heart attack, actually. Nausea can be a symptom of a heart attack.
On occasion, vomiting can be a symptom.
Profuse vomiting? I've never heard of that as a heart attack indicator.

- sarcasm -
It’s like a big city sending off it’s homeless, only doing it one better.
“Here in Nigeria we haven’t had a new case in two weeks.”
Strangely, 7 new nations had their first, and some their second, and third cases during the same time frame.
