Authorities say they are investigating a first potential case of Ebola in Bolivia.

The patient, whose name and age were not given, had made stopovers in several cities in Africa, Santa Cruz health service manager Roberto Torres told Oxigeno online.

"Yesterday, we had a report from a private hospital on an Indian patient who is being treated for fever, diarrhoea and vomiting," he said.

The health ministry in South America's poorest nation just 10 days ago set rules on early detection of potentially infected people.

On Friday, the World Health Organisation said the outbreak sweeping West Africa has claimed 1,427 lives.

A Montreal hospital said Saturday that a patient who had showed symptoms consistent with the often deadly Ebola virus had tested negative for the virus, according to a press release from the hospital.
Dr. Karl Weiss, director of infectious diseases at Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital, said that since the Ebola outbreak in West Africa a few months ago, all Quebec hospitals have put in place “some very stringent protocols.”
“We have no choice but to implement our protocol because if it’s a real case, imagine if you don’t put in place all the measures,” Weiss told the Star.
These protocols were put in place for the first time at Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital two weeks ago for another patient, Weiss added, and the results were negative.
A second patient, described as “a relatively young man,” was placed in isolation at the same hospital Saturday. The patient lives in Quebec but recently went to Guinea to visit his family, said Weiss.
“Yesterday he started being sick with fever and general flu-like symptoms,” Weiss said. “He came to the emergency room, and as soon as he came the protocol was implemented . . . but the patient is not severely sick, far from that.”
Weiss said the test samples were sent to the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, and other patients at the hospital weren’t at risk.
Earlier this month a patient at a hospital in Brampton, Ont. was also placed in isolation over fear the person had contracted the virus, but ended up testing negative.
More than 1,400 people in Africa have died so far in the largest Ebola outbreak on record.
Weiss said that patients who have recently travelled to one of the four countries where Ebola is an issue — Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria — have their temperatures checked immediately upon arriving at the hospital.
“If they do have a fever they are put into isolation right away, and this will start the protocols in terms of infection control,” said Weiss. “With only supportive treatment and about a 60 per cent mortality rate . . . better to be safe than sorry.”

Nothing, due to the amount of police in the US you're going to find at least one abuse of power probably every day. However the amount of police that perpetrate these crimes are about 1% of the entire police force. Unfortunately cops abusing their power makes more money for the media than cops lawfully doing their jobs and so they play it up like it's constantly happening to keep people glued to their channel/website to bring in that delicious ad revenue.

It's kind of like how the media gives no shits about how they're actively promoting the next mass shooting by glorifying the act of them due to the fact that another mass shooting means more money for them.

Has your unit gone rogue, commander? Switch to the Imperial nameplate at once, or suffer the consequences!

I made a very clear warning about it.
