Possible Ebola patient who landed at LAX airport from Liberia is in isolation at Centinela Hospital in Inglewood after he passenger had …get ready…. Ebola like symptoms. This actually occured last night, but the media hasn’t given any updates on this story. Much like Michael Monning in Texas, it is not clear if this person has Ebola, or just has the symptoms of a common cold.

KTLA, Channel 5 is basically the only Los Angeles area TV station that’s covering the possible Ebola at LAX. They are unaffiliated with the alphabet networks.

There haven’t been any updates since the initial report of the person from Liberia being taken to the hospital with Ebola like symptoms. Usually, if someone doesn’t have it, they clear them pretty quickly.
You would think this would be a huge story, regardless if the person has Ebola or not. Yet, the media out here in L.A. just doesn’t seem interested.
Los Angeles and LAX isn’t even considered a high risk area for Ebola. Most of West Afircan air traffic in the country goes through JFK in New York, La Guardia in New Jersey, O’Hare in Chicago or Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta.
