NY Post ^ | 10/23/2014 | Post Staff

A Harlem doctor who recently treated patients in Africa, tested positive for the deadly disease after he was rushed to Bellevue Hospital with symptoms, including a 103-degree fever, sources told The Post.

Spencer had spent Wednesday night bowling in Williamsburg. He used an Uber car service to get to and from the Brooklyn neighborhood.

Hipster bowling hot spot The Gutter was closed last night due to “unforseen circumstances.”

The way his thumb is forward, that is how I was told NOT to bowl. You are supposed to do it like you are shaking hands.

I am a sorry bowler so I draw a lot of bowling tips when I bowl. I am guessing he is also a sorry bowler.

That picture where his teeth are the pins is hilarious.

I hope that doctor has a speedy recovery. He was wrong to be out and about but perhaps he thought he was past the risk period.

Nobody is gonna want to go there. Just because you want to go to Africa to help the unfortunate, doesn’t mean that your countrymen want a tiny bit of Africa here.

Those places are gonna go out of business. I wouldn’t go to either place willingly.

If he felt well enough to bowl I doubt he was very contagious.

Not to worry the CDC medical detectives are on the case and will save the day!

“I have a good sense of humor and the absurd, but I actually find that somewhat offensive.

This isn’t politics. It’s life or death.”

And the politicians are saying that in order to keep it from spreading people from west Africa should be given visas and allowed to travel out of their respective countries and into ours and every other one that’ll let them.

I find it hard to believe he had no symptoms yesterday

I use to drive a taxi in New York city about 10 years ago and it is so crazy easy to get sick from someone else in those things. All the time if I had a customer who seemed like they had a cold or flu and sneezed I knew right away I would get sick and I always did. I’ll be very surprised if nobody else catches this thing if this guy was in a taxi.

I would not think the shoes would be an issue. The ball maybe. Drink glasses and straws and discarded food. The public bathroom. Trash if he discarded kleenexes or anything like that. But not shoes.

With all of the incorrect information the CDC is giving out to doctors about Ebola it’s killing them.

“I bet the hipsters that were with him aren’t too happy now nor are the people that used the same car service nor is the driver”

The car will likely have to be crushed, and I doubt the insurance company will cover it.

Have you read that many Ebola patients a few days from death are able to get up and walk around?

Am I reading this right that the guy had already been to the hospital, and they issued the test. THEN HE WENT BOWLING?

Most likely he was feeling under the weather, but shook it off to jet lag, or sleeplessness. “Head in the sand” behavior. “Hipster” bowling alley, definitely voted for Obama, so why wouldn’t he be sick. Delusional liberal folks. You can’t even trust these people with their own bodies.

True. I favor every possible precaution even if it seems unnecessary. But if the short history we have experienced holds, he probably was not very contagious yesterday — or even today. It is later when they become highly contagious. Or so it seems thus far.

There are symptoms before the high fever. He should have known about them. They resemble the flu

Ok I did not know the things you posted in #35. That is not good.

I have been taking 3,000 mg of vitamin C a day for the past year and a half. Haven’t had a cold or the flu in all that time. Before then I would usually get one or the other or both once a year.

But I know vitamin c isn’t going to stop Ebola.
