New York (CNN) -- One day after New York officials announced a Doctors Without Borders physician had tested positive for Ebola, another person who treated patients in West Africa developed a fever and was put in isolation at a northern New Jersey hospital.

The second health care worker, a woman who hasn't been identified by name, did not have any Ebola symptoms upon arrival Friday at Newark Liberty International Airport, New Jersey health department spokesman Donna Leusner said.

Yet things changed in the hours that followed. According to Leusner, "This evening, the health care worker developed a fever and is now in isolation and being evaluated at University Hospital in Newark."

Unlike Dr. Craig Spencer, the 33-year-old now in isolation at Bellevue Hospital in nearby New York City, this second health care worker is not confirmed to have Ebola.

She had been in Africa. I am not sure if they have any bowling lanes over there.

Did I hear correctly that New York and New Jersey will quarantine arrivals from these countries affected by Ebola?

So then they are going against Obama’s lack of a policy in this area????

I’m glad they ran her down - one symptom of Ebola is the victim automatically boards public transportation - planes, subways stuff like that.

Obama’s policy is “death to America”.

Hopefully, no one associated with FR gets this, but Ebola now needs to show up in cities like Los Angeles and Chicago.

I wonder if there’s a Nurses without Borders, and if she a member.

Perhaps all the X’s without Borders, along with the criminaliens, are trying to carry out 0’s plan to try and bring the disease here.

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...

Apparently, this lady didn’t have a week to run around potentially infecting other people. Lucky for us.

And may God bless her and keep her and pull her through.

No thanks. The only upside to such a disaster would be that maybe some illegals would go home.

What makes you think a female health care worker can’t be a doctor?

The thought of infectious Ebola being present amidst the taping of a Bill Maher show is something that admittedly gives me a warm, giddy feeling.
