Heard on local news that Kansas University Med Center has isolated a patient suspicious for Ebola!

The patient is from West Africa and has suspicious symptoms. This is too close for comfort!

as a precaution re ebola. The CDC has requested that Maine Medical isolate a patient who has recently come from W. Africa. Several more have been isolated and later found not to have it.

This will continue.
