Ebola Has Arrived In The U.S. - Do You Have It? [View all]

Signs and symptoms typically begin abruptly within five to 10 days of infection with Ebola virus. Early signs and symptoms include:

Fever
Severe headache
Joint and muscle aches
Chills
Weakness

http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ebola-virus/basics/symptoms/con-20031241

I have very slight 'Joint and muscle aches.' Probably has nothing to do with the 30 mile bike ride I took yesterday morning.

Clearly, I have Ebola.
