I actually didn't even know the specifics of what Ebola was until she spoke about it last night. I asked exactly what it was, how it was spread, what she thought the chances were of her bringing it home, and what was being done to control the sickness within the hospital.
All I was told was what it was and how it's spread. I was told that the patient was moved to a different part of the hospital, and that she directly didn't work with said patient. She worked on the other side of the hospital yesterday. And I was told that because of that, she was more likely to bring lice or something home rather than Ebola.
And then we went on a 20 minute rant about how sharing is not actually caring and that she can leave the Ebola and whatever else that's going around at the hospital.
I didn't ask if the patient was a U.S. citizen or not, because in my opinion it doesn't matter if it's a U.S. citizen or someone who's foreign. They'll infect you the same way, regardless.

Info on Doctors Hospital.
If you click on Stats & Services, they do have an Infection Isolation Room. Not confirming or denying a case in Ohio, just that said hospital could quarantine.
Still searching.....

Exactly, and if what she told me is right, and it was officially confirmed last night, they'd probably try to keep it hush-hush for a little while. I don't actually know who they go about reporting cases of illness.

Well they would have to report it to the CDC pretty much immediately. In fact, it would probably have been the CDC who would confirm this, now that I think about it.
Also, someone (maybe loam) mentioned that the test is notoriously unreliable.
