Stradivarius' cat, Schrodinger


And now appearing in Amarillo, TX

Baptist-St. Anthony Hospital (BSA) in Amarillo is on lockdown with a suspected case of ebola. I was just there yesterday visiting a friend. Wirecutter may be ebola-free, but I'm not off the hook yet. Fortunately for me, I'm an OCD germaphobe who travels with disinfectant wipes, sterile gloves, masks and hand sanitizer who avoids public restrooms like Obama avoids Mooch's cooch. We'll see.

UPDATE:

The lockdown has been lifted. Apparently, the patient presented with a high fever and "flu-like" symptoms and answered affirmatively to the question about travel to or contact with someone who had traveled to a hot zone. The response team contacted, by phone, the person in question who denied having been to a hot zone in the last couple of months. Okie dokie, good enough for us. 

My question: how do you verify?
