Man steals cell phone from Ebola patient—and gets the Ebola virus.
In Uganda, an ailing Ebola patient was minding his own business in the Intensive Care Unit, when a thief slipped past security and then broke into his hospital room to steal his cell phone.
It is unknown who the crook called. What is known, however, is that “you can’t just be messing around with an Ebola patient’s stuff, that’s a guaranteed ticket to Ebolatown,” notes a blogger familiar with the case.
Cops didn’t have to look far to find the culprit, he checked in the same hospital complaining of Ebola symptoms.
