Patient in New York City Tests Positive for Ebola
NY Times ^

Posted on 10/23/2014 5:33:03 PM PDT by bryan999

A doctor in New York City who recently returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea tested positive for the Ebola virus Thursday, becoming the city’s first diagnosed case.

The doctor, Craig Spencer, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday and placed in isolation while health care workers spread out across the city to trace anyone he might have come into contact with in recent days. A further test will be conducted by the federal Centers for Disease Control to confirm the initial test.

While officials have said they expected isolated cases of the disease to arrive in New York eventually, and had been preparing for this moment for months, the first case highlighted the challenges surrounding containment of the virus, especially in a crowded metropolis.

His poop is in the sewer system.

Yep, pretty scary, would like to see a reporter at the DiCommie-io and Cuomo Show ask a question about that...

Why aren’t doctors who return to US from treating Ebola victims quarantined for at least 21 days?

The anointed ones are above such things!

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...

“behavioral abnormalities in ebola patients”

Yes - irrational behavior

Under that theory, Dr. Nancy Snyderman probably has it. She is not returning to work even though her 21 days is now up.

I wonder where they are hiding her? Maybe they booted the camera man out early to make room for her.

"Gov Cuome is saying Dr Ebola took all precautions and avoided people"

Gov Cuomo, please define the word "people".

Of your list, the only ones to catch the disease in the US were the two nurses who took care of Duncan, Nina Pham and Amber Vinson.

The good news is it seems to be quite hard to catch the virus from patients who are not really sick.

OK FOLKS....
When a public official says in a live press conference that “Our impression is”, it means they DONT KNOW.

Yikes! Glad you recovered.

I ran very high fevers as a child, I even think I might have hit 106 at one point.

My oldest was 18 months at the time, and I was three hundred miles away hunting back home. Spent eight days with my folks, and was pretty out of it. I remember sitting in a chair, trying to decide if I would make it to the bed or if I should just slide out and sleep on the floor. That took four hours to figure out.

My regular doctor said I had a mild case of it.

“but he bowls and takes the NYC subway”

And those trains get packed like sardines especially in the evening hours around rush hour.

I heard her...

I do wonder though, how much we aren’t being told. Especially with the OB Czar ow at the helm.

I’m hearing people changing Christmas plans already, not traveling if this continues.
