My mistake this is from August 09 this year but just watching the news tonight they were saying that there were 2 more suspected cases of ebola in Toronto.

Here's the best I can find for it and apparently they aren't the guy who was cleared in August.

Another interesting point is located lower on the page:

How did it happen? New Ebola case raises questions about safety protocols

Officials say she has not been able to pinpoint any breach in infection control protocols, although there apparently was a breach, they say.

That is an apparent understatement to say the least.

Experience shows that health workers can safely care for Ebola patients, "but we also know that it's hard and that even a single breach can result in contamination," Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation."

This is just more proof that we can't contain the disease no matter how vigilant we are. So, is it time to put flight restrictions in place or should we just keep those petri dishes flying so some people can feel good about themselves.
