Two people who arrived at O'Hare International Airport on Tuesday from Liberia were under observation at Chicago hospitals as part of the city's infectious disease protocols after they experienced nausea and other illnesses during their flights, city officials said.

Officials said they decided against Ebola testing for the two, who were traveling separately, after medical evaluations.

Probebly peanut allergies... Or maybe they were tipped off in-flight of the welcoming party awaiting anyone from Liberia.

Why no testing?  Heaven forbid being too worried.

Wait, New Jersey and Chicago? Those are two different suspected cases right?
If so, the NJ. case looks strong.

You know if more people started showing up at the Airport wearing Hazmat Suits, this is going to really piss off the TSA Agents as they will no longer be able to grope your privates.

In Chicago, two passengers who took ill while flying into O'Hare from Liberia have become the first to test the city's new Ebola protocols, although officials say they see no evidence that either has the deadly disease, according to CBS Chicago.

One of the passengers, a child, reportedly vomited during the flight and is now being quarantined at University of Chicago Medical Center. The child was screened by federal authorities and found to have no fever and no other Ebola symptoms other than vomiting.

Separately, an adult also traveling from Liberia reported nausea and diarrhea. That passenger was taken to Rush University Medical Center for evaluation. That person is being monitored, but has not been tested for Ebola.

The two passengers are not related and were not traveling together, says CBS Chicago.

So there are a total of 3 we are looking at right now.  The child who vomited.  The adult who reported nausea & diarrhea & the man in NJ with the fever... all from Liberia.
