Are ebola-like symptoms in this instance fever and aches, or bleeding from every orifice?

Why don't these news website clearly label where they are located? In the internet age stories are linked all over and many locations have the same name. If this does turn out to be ebola it might be just what DC politicians need to get serious about containing it.

Duncan helped the infected pregnant woman to the hospital on September 15th. But he also abruptly quit his job on September 4th, which suggests he might have known he had been already exposed.
He boarded a plane bound for the US on the 19th, arrived here on the 20th. He became symptomatic enough to go the hospital on September 24. We have a possible range of 9-21 days for how long it took for him to start manifesting serious symptoms. It's now Oct 3. It's been 13 days since his flight. If he infected people on the flight, they should be popping up now. The people in Dallas with the apartment, if he infected them, are going to start manifesting symptoms in another day or four. If the kids spread it to other kids, we should know in another week. |

For instance •Total Deaths: 710 •Laboratory Confirmed Cases: 950 That is about 73% You can not look at suspected cases. We have already had 10 or so suspected in the US. If the one confirmed case we have dies, you can not say that it is only a 10% death rate. It would be a 100% death rate. |
