Travelers from West Africa will undergo screenings for fever, a symptom of Ebola, at five U.S. airports, but such screenings can be beaten by Ibuprofen, according to an infection control specialist. A hot mic caught reporters expressing their amazement at a White House Ebola press conference, with one journalist remarking, “we’re screwed.” The video clip shows the end of a White House press briefing on the Ebola outbreak as officials begin to leave the podium. “Shit!” exclaims one of the reporters, before another female journalist states, “The most interesting thing is the travel stuff.” “Yeah, we’re screwed,” remarks another reporter. “If the DC test comes back positive, I’m doing (inaudible) all weekend,” states the woman. The male reporter then castigates his “stupid mic,” before commenting, “did you hear that everyone?” Several patients have been tested for Ebola at Washington-area hospitals, but every case has proven negative so far.
