Headline: "First confirmed case of Ebola confirmed in the United States: CDC"

Article: "[...] an unnamed patient was being tested for Ebola [...]" (emphasis mine)

Besides the obvious pleonasm in the title ("confirmed [...] confirmed" doesn't make it doubly so), nowhere in the article does it say that anyone is certain that this man actually has Ebola, as obviously, tests are still being done. Until the results of these tests are in, there is no confirmation.

Is this some kind of reading comprehension test being dumped on HN? For what nefarious, crowd sourced, statistical research project? <grin>
