CDC Getting 800 Calls a Day About Possible Ebola Cases - and They’re All False Alarms
Today during a press briefing, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Tom Frieden said the CDC has been receiving about 800 calls a day from hospitals and other sources about possible cases of Ebola — and to date, they’ve all been false alarms.
As of today, Liberian Thomas Eric Duncan remains the only confirmed case of Ebola in the US. The last word we have on Duncan is that his condition was downgraded to “critical,” and he’s been placed on a ventilator.
