Fingers Crossed! [UP-DATED]

Hoping against hope that Ebola gets a foothold in the nation that needs it most.
Mins. later: Gawd damn it all to hell!
COLUMBUS, Ohio - A 46-year-old Columbus resident who was recently tested for Ebola has tested negative for the virus.

Columbus Public Health received confirmation of the negative test results Tuesday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta which conducted the test through the Ohio Department of Health.

The woman had recently traveled to a West African nation affected by an Ebola outbreak and showed symptoms of illness upon her return to the U.S. She is still recovering in isolation at a local hospital where she is doing well.
I suppose that anyone who's been to Africa & came back w/ a sniffle is going to be big news now, but it'll all be blown out of proportion & excitable weasels like me will be riding an emotional roller coaster.
