Ebola-like symptoms are also similar to so many other illnesses, especially at first. They would have to have more to go on to freak out like this. The person must have recently traveled from Africa or know someone closely who did. Otherwise why in the world would you ever jump to the conclusion that it could be Ebola?

They live at 1612 17th Street SW so I'm guessing they do.

He said once they assessed the patient's symptoms and determined the patient had traveled to West Africa, they contacted UAB Hospital and received medical direction. The patient was then transported.
Wilks said six firefighters came in contact with the patient and are quarantined to go through decontamination procedures. He said there were two family members of the patient in the house as well. Police officers will remain on scene to make sure the family is OK and to keep them in the house while officials monitor their health.
Police say the patient came from west Africa to New York City to Birmingham. He has been in Birmingham for several days.
UAB Hospital's ER was closed temporarily as they received the patient. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is at UAB.

Because AL.com wants to a ton of site traffic.
In the event it is Ebola, UAB is highly regarded healthcare facility, so they have the proper protocol to make sure it is contained.
I live half a mile from UAB.
