Twitchy has been careful not to report on every rumor of Ebola in the United States, but several mainstream media outlets are reporting that a patient has been hospitalized with Ebola-like symptoms at Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C., after a return flight from Nigeria.
#BREAKING: Patient who'd traveled to Nigeria showing possible #Ebola symptoms. Currently in isolation at Washington DC hospital.

While some liberal halfwits saw the confirmed case of Ebola in Texas as a reason for the state to secede, what would it mean if Ebola were found within the nation’s capital?

RT if you think new US Ebola cases should be all transferred to Washington DC.

On another note, I wonder how many folks still going to Howard's homecoming now that they have an Ebola patient at the hospital.

Patient at Howard with Ebola. How convenient? Government made that shit just like they made AIDS & put it in Africans to test it.

Again, the patient at Howard has only been diagnosed with symptoms and not confirmed with Ebola. National Review’s Jim Geraghty has an artist’s rendition of Washington, D.C., from the near future, if the Ebola diagnosis pans out.
Man, D.C. is not taking the news of the local Ebola case well. pic.twitter.com/io0wSPw2ui
