Pray it's a false alarm, and this is just a touch of flu or some less alarming malady easily treated and cured. If positive, he's been in NYC for 10 days...God only knows how many contacts he's made.

graphic: why aren't ebola victims flying to cuba for the awesome free healthcare?

Yes, America is beating Ebola.

Next up: America is racist for beating Ebola.

21-day monitoring of every immigrant arriving here from the Ebola Hot Zone in Africa?

How's that gonna work?

In Dallas, at one point, the CDC lost track of a possibly infected homeless man.

Always On Watch said...

Let's see....4500/month arriving here from the Ebola Hot Zone in Africa.

UNMANAGEABLE, I TELL YOU!

Always On Watch said...

They will be so busy watching possible Ebola carriers/victims that they won't be able to watch the jihadists.

Damn.

Watching? They expect these folks to self monitor!
Quote: "The travelers will be required to report their temperature daily and call a state hotline if they show any symptoms of the illness. "

How will this be enforced and by who? And if infected, who is responsible for tracking every contact made by the infected individual?

This is a nightmare!

It's racist to beat Ebola.

Hilarious, but you're probably right that someone will try to put that forth as a serious statement.

UKDailyMail:
Dr Spencer is being tested for the Ebola virus as well as malaria, salmonella and stomach flu. The results are expected in 12 hours.


Quote: "On October 16, he checked in at a hotel in Brussels, Belgium, presumably on his return journey from Guinea to the U.S. "

Today is the 23rd . ..that is less than ten days ago.
