By the way, to all those cavalier about it being hard to catch. From the CDC website: The prevention of Ebola HF presents many challenges. Because it is still unknown how exactly people are infected with Ebola HF, there are few established primary prevention measures.
So apparently the CDC still doesn't really know how it's spread, and yet it appears we've got a panel of all-knowing infectious disease specialists right here on this board
Some BS verbage from yesterday is not a test. Of course it is statistically unlikely that he had it. But that is not the answer. He either has it or he does not. His symptoms must remain highly worrying or they would have told us by now.
They DID "tell us". I just posted it.
They don't have the test results yet so they can't say for sure, but there are plenty of valid reasons to almost certainly exclude ebola, after all, there are LOTS diseases with symptoms of high feaver and intestinal problems.

In your estimation, within 2 years from today, how many people in the US will have died from the impending Ebola outbreak?
I thought I answered that. It will begin to kill slowly but increase exponentially. We are looking at millions. The notion that it can be contained is predicated on the health care system staying together. It will rapidly deteriorate and vanish under the onslaught of ebola cases and the panic that will cause. Within two years we will be no better off than the jungles of Africa - worse maybe as no Doctors without Borders are going to come here to help.
I am only commenting on the silence of the authorities about it. If it is not this one, it will be the next. It is a matter of when not if.
