Come on, "HoustonsNews" is just a twitter account - it has no actual news organization as a source-gathering and vetting operation.

Furthermore, the link they give as a source for this story is actually "MrConservative.com". That website doesn't give out any actual hard-sourcing for this supposed development.

How the government is handling Ebola is insane. That doesn't justify rumormongering on our side.

I object to your characterization of “rumor mongering”. That is not what I did, nor is it what I intended. Just because some people are sensationalizing the coverage of this situation doesn't justify you labeling additional info as rumor mongering.

I simply provided some information that apparently had not been reported previously, and provided a link to the source so that anyone could check it out and decide on their own what credibility to assign the info. And I specifically stated it was via twitter, and a caution to not spread rumors.

I didn't post it in breaking news or anything - My intended message was simply: this is all the additional info I can find, and it's not much, so keep watching for additional info.

There are plenty of more egregious examples of what you might consider rumor mongering, so I suggest you go share your omnipotence disdain with them.
