A physician who treated dying Ebola patients in Liberia flew in to JFK on Thursday night and stayed at an airport hotel, a source told The Post.
Colin Bucks, a clinical assistant professor at Stanford Universitys medical school, arrived on a Royal Moroccan Air flight, sources said.
He spent the night at the Hilton Garden Inn in Jamaica, Queens, where Centers for Disease Control workers also stay, according to a source.
On Friday, he was cleared to travel home to Northern California, where he will be monitored by CDC there, the source said.

This is what happens when delusional politically correct liberal ideologues make policy. Unless there is a commercial air travel ban, infected but asymptomatic people will be entering the US and there will be more cases.
Just saw Meet the Press’s COMPLETELY one sided “coverage” of this from the perspective of this French woman from Doctors Without Borders. No mention whatsoever of a bunch of their people having caught Ebola, nope “eet ees impossablee” for Americans to catch this disease from returning healthcare workers.
Start spreading the news
I am arriving today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These viral shoes
They are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up in that city
That doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill
Top of the heap (of dead bodies)
My little town blues
They are melting away
I gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you
New York, New York
Is it so difficult for a “healthcare” worker to walk up to an official and say: I just came in from Africa and I think I need to be quarantined? Such arrogance.
Perhaps.
Check back in three weeks...
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Citizens United, etc.
Lots of them probably have. This outbreak has been going on a while, eventually even charity doctors have to get back to their lives.
Just want to bookmark this quote for possible future reference. I have doubts.
Thank you for posting this.
Imagine having stayed in that Hilton Garden Inn and wondering if you slept in the same bed.
IOW, he'd have skedaddled outta there before the CDC hassled him.
He missed the mandatory quarantine by only one day.
Thanks for the ping!
