The Department of Health has confirmed a patient is currently in isolation and undergoing testing in Honolulu.
The Hawaii Nurses Association said the person is being treated at The Queen’s Medical Center.
Officials told KHON2 Ebola is a possibility, however the patient has yet to be specifically tested for the virus.
“We are early in the investigation of a patient — very, very, early, who we’re investigating that might have Ebola,” said Dr. Melissa Viray, deputy state epidemiologist. “It’s very possible that they do and they have Ebola, I think it’s also more likely that they have another condition that presents with similar symptoms.”
Dr. Viray said the patient could have a number of illnesses including Ebola, flu, malaria and typhoid.

If Dept of Health doesn’t know yet if it’s obola, malaria, or sasha- then why say anything at all?
Just kept in a regular room, but don’t you worry! The public is just safe and dandy. eeeyeah.
I thought Africans were basically, kind of on the poor side. Where do they keep getting all this money to be jetting around whenever they seem to feel like it? I sure don’t have the money to be jetting around. Are they getting the dough from Obama’s stash? Which is the American Taxpayer’s stolen money???
Maybe we can get ISIS/ISIL/IS/ICEE to unknowingly recruit some of these infected folk.
It’d be a shame if Hawaii was an Obola cesspool by the time a certain someone was ready to take his annual Christmas vacation. He probably has half the CDC at work preventing the possibility of that scenario.
They’re on an island. They are surrounded by ocean. Throw the fucker into the ocean.
Then we’d have sharks with frickin’ lasers and ebola…
