BRAINTREE, Mass. — A patient who had been to Liberia and complained of a headache and muscle aches forced a brief shutdown of a Braintree medical center on Sunday, and the patient was sent to a hospital, an official at the medical center said.
The statement from Ben Kruskal, chief of infectious disease at the Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, does not mention Ebola. It says that “out of an abundance of caution” the center immediately notified authorities, and the patient was securely taken by ambulance to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.
Ebola symptoms include a fever, flu-like body aches and abdominal pain, and then vomiting and diarrhea.
The building was closed briefly. Yellow police tape blocked the entrance to its parking lot. A tow truck driver wore protective gloves as he prepared to haul away a car that police said belonged to the patient.
AND THEN THERE'S THIS:

CDC Says Can’t Get Ebola from ‘Casual Contact’...
The CDC also claims the nurse infected with Ebola must have breached CDC protocol by inadvertently touching contaminated surface.
So, lets just say, Duncan or this nurse felt a wee bit queezy and purchased some anti-diarrhea OTC paying with cash. Is cash immune from bodily fluids like sweat, or saliva as one licks his finger to sort through each?
CDC - define 'casual contact'
For the record, 6 more days till all clear for Duncan's family in quarantine: Guardian: Quarantined family of Texas Ebola victim left to mourn in isolation October 9, 2014 12:04EDT
After Duncan became seriously ill at her apartment last week, Louise Troh, her 13-year-old son and two nephews were quarantined at a house somewhere in the Dallas area. They will remain there until around 19 October, when the 21-day incubation period for Ebola will be over.
