That looks like 2 different incidents they're reporting.
I wonder if they meant to say possible Anthrax and not Ebola. It makes sense that there could have been 7 in the vicinity of whatever substance was released from the envelope.I'm having a hard time getting anything to open, besides this. So, if you're having trouble, this is what I'm seeing.

It CANNOT be ebola at the Callaway incident..that is a scientific impossibility for many reasons, not the least of which is the period of time (21 days) that must elapse between exposure and the first symptoms. Good grief.
So it's either anthrax or ebola,either seven patients or twelve,never mind cancel it all. Package was harmless and no powder. What??
I don't know about anyone else,but I was being sarcastic. It's idiocy all the way around,from the responders to the reporters. I suspect Eddie got his panties in a wad over something at the post office - he's pretty well known for his hyper attention to all things postal and rules related.
This makes no sense at all, did someone think someone packaged up an african with ebola and mailed them here?
Apparently this was a case of extreme idiocy and nothing more. Person picks up package, goes home and opens it, happens to feel ill at that moment, and then returns to the post office, package in hand claiming something in it must have made her sick.
There must be something that person can be charged with.
