The first symptoms he had are the same symptoms as the flu and a severe cold.
If we run every person who comes into the ER with these symptoms through every test looking for every disease in the world, people will be dying in the ER's due to two week waiting times.
Exactly. If ebola is only transmitted through bodily fluids, that would put it at the same contagious level as AIDS. You don't see people who deal with AIDS patients wearing hazmat suits. And they don't quarantine everyone who has been in contact with an AIDS patient.
Sweat and spit are body fluids that can give you Ebola.
If you have a fever you are probably sweating.

Ebola and HIV are different viruses that are transmitted differently.
For instance, HIV cannot be transmitted through sweat, vomit, tears, urine, feces, saliva, or spit. Ebola - a hemorrhagic disease (unlike HIV) - can be transmitted through contact with these fluids, especially if they've been further contaminated by blood (for example blood in your vomit or feces or saliva due to hemorrhaging).
