Eyewitness report...
Currently on a plane stuck on a Las Vegas tarmac that flew out of JFK. They won't let us off the plane because of an ebola scare.

Two sick passengers, woman and child, came from Africa and have a fever. They aren't from a country in Africa with an outbreak though.

Passengers not showing any other symptoms other than the fever. CDC is now on the scene.

Pilot said screening for the 2 patients was "encouraging" and it doesn't seem like it's an ebola case. CDC doesn't know what to do with us.
