They say it's probably not Ebola. Yeah RIGHT!!
LINK
A 63-year-old American man has 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 unnamed 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 in protective gear 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' at airports.

you usually die from internal and external bleeding....just the vomiting alone doesn't suggest ebola

Planes are bio weapons now. 9/11 had em used as terrorist weapons.
I will avoid airplanes for life.

Nigeria is not in the hot zone.

I'm sure after they completed their exam they stripped out of those suits and handled the body then, huh? And what would they really say? "Oh my God, this guy is plum eat up with the Ebola! All you passengers are at severe risk now!" It might hurt someone's feelings.

Daily Mail link, eh? Take that story with a few grains of salt.

No new cases of Ebola have been reported in Nigeria in approximately a month and they closed their quarantine facilities as of 10/2.
Infectious disease doc (from Nigeria) at the hospital I work at gave an Ebola inservice yesterday. Nigeria has 170 millionish people and they had 18 reported cases I believe.
They were able to nip it in the bud relatively easily so we should be able to as well.

If I had just left Nigeria and started vomicking uncontrollably, I would probably have a heart attack at this point too.
