The CBC reports: Ebola fears infect Louisiana medical conference
Ebola fears have infected a U.S. medical conference on the subject. Louisiana state health officials told thousands of doctors planning to attend a tropical diseases meeting this weekend in New Orleans to stay away if they have been to certain African countries or have had contact with an Ebola patient in the last 21 days.
So they are so concerned with Ebola that they don’t want experts on the disease to meet and exchange current information on the disease and how to combat it.
The people attending the conference are professionals. They know what to do if they suspect they have symptoms, which is more that the state health officials in Louisiana know.
