The number of people under "active monitoring" for Ebola symptoms has increased from 117 on Monday to 357 people Wednesday, health officials said. The vast majority of those being monitored arrived in New York City within the past 21 days from the three Ebola-affected countries, the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation said in a statement.
Others being monitored are the staff caring for Dr. Craig Spencer, the physician being treated for Ebola at Bellevue Hospital, the lab workers who conducted his blood tests and the FDNY EMTs who transported the doctor. All of those being monitored showed no symptoms but are being checked on out of "an abundance of caution," the statement said.

SURPRISE!
Oh yeah...that ebola thingy...I guess it’s time to leak a little info now that the elections are over.
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
The FDA says there must and will be human controls for any putative Ebola therapy.
It would seem only fair to pass an immediate Constitutional Amendment
defining only those deemed EXEMPT as future controls?
Sure kept that under wraps. Gee wonder why? /s
Sure is, haven't heard anything prior to this story being posted.
NY would be one of the worst places to try and contain an outbreak. Scary.
Are all 357 on the Dr. Spencer tour of New York?
I hear tickets are available. Don’t worry about the bus ride. You can spread Ebola on a bus but you can’t catch Ebola on a bus. Well, according to the experts, anyway.
Ebola monitoring in NYC.....it’s baaaack....and, it’s grown.

President Obama has assured Americans that none of the nearly 4,000 U.S. troops heading to Liberia will treat Ebola patients, but 70 uniformed officers of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps will.
The corps, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, will open a clinic outside the Liberian capital, Monrovia, this weekend and is tasked with treating Liberian doctors and nurses who contract the deadly disease. It is the first time U.S. government personnel have been given that assignment, although all volunteered.
For those local medical personnel willing to treat Ebola patients — among the most dangerous of jobs — the new clinic is a means of support, Rear Adm. Scott Giberson, acting U.S. deputy surgeon general, said Wednesday in a phone interview from Liberia.
Interesting how the news coverage opens up after the election. We’re serious, folks. No more Obama nonsense. Ever.
Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......
(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)
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...

Yes, that was my thought. Election over, so now they will do some reporting—as is allowed by the Czar...
I am sure it is expensive—I wonder what the costs actually are...have read nothing about monitoring costs...
**from 117 on Monday to 357 **
And we have been told not to worry!
Figure that one out and let me know.
The Ebola Czar is on duty...
DAMN!
PING!
