They just reported it here in BREAKING NEWS interruption. I don't know if it's in print anywhere yet, that's why I have no links.

Edit: Found it!

Okay, I see it now. It's news from yesterday. The person has vomiting and fever and recently traveled to Africa. It says the risk of transmission is low to none.

Why isn't travel restricted.

It's breaking here, because it was reported last night. I'm temporarily on the east coast.

Preds, that is copyrighted material, so if you put the entire report here, with copy and paste, the site will not get credit. Just thought I'd let you know.

The link I gave is a hyperlink, easy to click, read, pop back.

That's a great question. It doesn't make sense. This is the largest outbreak in recorded history--you don't mess around with that!
