Hazmat Crews Currently at Logan After 5 Passengers with Ebola-Like Symptoms Land in Boston

Hazmat crews are currently on the ground at Logan Airport, after five passengers with flu and Ebola-like symptoms landed in Boston.
At this moment, specialists are inspecting an Emirates flight at Terminal E at Gate E6 at Logan. Three of the five passengers with symptoms are on their way to Boston Medical Center; details about the other two are unavailable.
At 5:20, the other passengers on the flight were allowed off the plane and went through customs.
Flu symptoms include a number of similar symptoms to Ebola, including fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

This was a 14 hour flight. Imagine getting on board a 300 person flight this long with a group who is just coming down with Ebola? They took four sick people off the flight and then let the rest of them go home. Now does this make any sense? The government is not in charge of this fiasco. This is an inept situation revealing how vulnerable we are to biological warfare.
FWIW I don't think this is Ebola simply because the Arab world has closed it's doors to the infected West African world.
