Breaking: Ebola Test Negative for Dallas County Deputy (Chuck Johnson Wrong Again)
The test results are in for that sheriff’s deputy who was hospitalized for possible Ebola symptoms — and as we suspected, he does not have Ebola.
UPDATE: DALLAS — The Texas Department of State Health Services says negative results were returned from a lab in Austin Thursday, indicating that a Dallas County deputy does not have the Ebola virus.
When it was reported that this deputy had been hospitalized, our pal the smear merchant celebrated the news with a series of self-congratulatory tweets about his powers of prediction:
Hey @joshgreenman I predicted to the day that there would be another case of #Ebola. Looks like I was right.

I said we would have another #ebola case by midweek last week. Now we do. #ThomasDuncan

I predicted last week that more people would come down with #Ebola symptoms. Turns out I was right…
