Ebola in Kansas City?

On 5 October 2014, rumors of a suspected case of Ebola in Kansas City, Missouri spread on the internet despite a low
probability the patient involved had been exposed to the virus. Dr. Rex Archer, director of Health at the Kansas City Health Department, said there was no reason to believe the patient had been exposed to or developed Ebola:

"This person was supposedly in Nigeria and had come here from there but we have no evidence that they were actually where any of the other cases were," Archer said. The patient's only Ebola-like symptom was a 102-degree fever on Saturday night.
