This could be ugly. Dallas was bad enough, but in one of the most heavily-populated cities in the world like NYC - this is one of my greatest fears, rapid spread, out of control in a heartbeat.
Well then we must not have anything to worry about
This is getting ridiculous. I can't believe even Fox is using that language. It is almost funny.

"Sources said Spencer went bowling last night in Williamsburg and took an Uber car to get there and back, 1010 WINS’ Carol D’Auria reported."
"He developed a fever, nausea, pain and fatigue Wednesday night, officials says" <-- that's when he was out bowling

" ... The unidentified doctor returned from West Africa about 10 days ago, the official said.
Investigators are taking the case seriously because it appears the doctor didn't quarantine himself following his return, the official said.
The official said the doctor was out in public. Authorities are possibly going to quarantine his girlfriend, with whom he was spending time since his return from Africa. ... "

It was some so called 'DOCTOR' Cavuto was interviewing. Doctor my arse. He's a paid spokesman for the chimp in charge.

Oh man. I didn't even think of that. How on earth do you track down the guy who used the same bowling balls after Dr. Ebola walked out the door?
Might as well get out the bulldozer and raze THAT bowling alley. They are cooked and done.
Be Well
may all be well
YES!

Sweet Jesus. This "doctor" has been home for 10 days...worked directly with ebola patients in an environment that has claimed about 300 health care workers and untold thousands of others. He decides to get in a car..and THEN goes to a bowling alley? and he's getting symptoms? If this dumb f*ck survives, they should reopen alcatraz and lock his ass up!!!
Today at work we got "the powerpoint of the day" from our EMS officer, who essentially told us, "ahh it's no big deal, we've our dispatchers asking the right questions and chances are that if they get so sick they are symptomatic, well then they'll already be at the hospital" When I asked, "well, how are they getting there, by star trek transporter" all I got was a blank stare...
Yeah, we're so screwed, first those of us in Fire/ems, ambulance and pd.
You've got that right! Unfreakin'believable!! How in heaven did this dumbass become a doctor... get his degree out of a Cracker Jack box?!! NO ONE can be that stupid, can they?
Right in NY city. DAMN.

So the doctor is working with Ebola patients in Guinea. Comes back to the US. Doesn't quarantine himself. I heard a quote the other day:
"The greatest obstacle to discovering the shape of the Earth,
the continents and the oceans, was not ignorance, but the illusion of knowledge."
~Daniel Bornstein, former Librarian to Congress
Doctors are so arrogant!

I was told by my state to treat this as a "full hazmat" situation. Not to "rush in" on a potental Ebola patient and use the buddy system. That EMS officer should check his e-mail updates.
BTW, Dartmouth Hitchcock will be the hospital in NH to send Ebola patients.

waiting for the news that the guberment has deployed the "quick strike medical team"...

The doctor used Uber to get around. I imagine Uber will take a big hit after this news. So will any establishment he's found to have visited. All these losses should be factored into the costs of not having a travel ban.

And look at Doctor Nancy Snyderman. Good grief. These well-educated types are supposed to be better than this, and to have learned a little "impulse control." What's going to happen when the unwashed masses are put into quarantine?

I haven't posted here in a loooooong time, but I can tell you from first hand experience (I work as an inspector for a local health department) that this entire situation is insane. From what I am seeing, this whole thing is like trying to capture a greased pig...never gonna happen. The only appropriate way to prevent an outbreak here is to close the borders to any and all from the affected areas. It's costing us a fortune to do cleanup after the fact, never mind the danger our fellow citizens and health care workers are put in. Everything that we are having to do here is totally unnecessary if people would just be stopped from entry in the first place; Want to come in? Fine; you're under quarantine over there for 60 days, on your dime, before being allowed to travel here. Period. Local public health and government is livid with what's going on.

That should be a positive thing but, and I don't know why, for a moment that scared the willies out of me. Too many sci fi movies, I guess.

they started out in the news feed saying "military strike team" and showed military folks constructing quanson tents, etc. but now I notice they're saying "CDC team". they don't want to scare the sheeple.

Two different groups, I believe. The military team would be the new rapid response team training/trained at Ft Sam. CDC would be the 'usual' folks.

If Doctors who have SEEN Ebola death at work are doing this, just imagine how J6P coming home from an Africa visit is doing. Out on the town partying, flying, cruises, grocery stores, malls, buses, subways, home depot, costco, halloween candy, etc. Goodbye Brains. These are the Zombies.

But a patient barfing on a plane only has to be "seen" by -- not a doctor, but a mere paramedic -- and instantly, like magic, they "just know" he does NOT have ebola!
per cnn he felt sluggish for a few days but went out bowling regardless. He knew he had exposure to ebola. how damn stupid can you be?

In total agreement! If you want to live in America, pay the price like our forefathers did. Which includes Elias Island, proving you are healthy, have a job waiting, etc. What's happening now is like a scene from Poltergist when Tangina says, "All are welcome."
