OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An American video journalist being treated for Ebola is now free of the virus and will be released soon, the Omaha hospital where he is being treated said Tuesday.

Brilliant question. Seriously. I haven't heard this addressed. Because it goes into the trash, the dumps, and the sewers. Hmmmm.
