Ebola hits NYC

And went bowling and took Uber and ...


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.
Even as the authorities worked to confirm that Mr. Spencer was infected with Ebola, it emerged that he traveled from Manhattan to Brooklyn on the subway on Wednesday night, when he went to a bowling alley and then took a taxi home.

See, they shouldn't be allowed back or should go through quarantine.

Why?

I direct one of the clinical labs at a hospital here in NYC. With this finally arriving in the city, pretty much everyone wants to reconfirm our plans.

Why would this be allowed? If he was treating them he should go into quarantine until he clears as safe.

I agree. I struggle to figure out how this happened.

Right. Cuz every healthcare worker who interacts with an Ebola patient needs to immediately go into 21 day quarantine. That seems practical. I'm sure that will encourage lots of people to offer care.

No good ranting on this board but seriously what the fuck was he thinking. Isn't he supposed to "Do No Harm" as a Doctor?

I agree with you - it is practical to do that to stop the spread of the disease.

Haha. Then no one will care for the patients. Does that stop the spread of the disease?

What is wrong with a doctor returning from treating ebola patients in Africa going in to quarantine before coming home? Go over, do your stint to help people, wait a couple weeks without treating people then come home. Seems like this was easily avoidable.

Wait a minute. This dude just spent months in Africa treating ebola patients. I do not think it is asking too much to expect some type of quarantine.

Investigators took the case seriously from the outset because it appeared the doctor didn't quarantine himself following his return, the law enforcement official said. The doctor traveled to Brooklyn and then back to Manhattan on Wednesday night, the official said.

In a statement Thursday, Doctors Without Borders confirmed that the physician recently returned from West Africa and was "engaged in regular health monitoring." The doctor contacted Doctors Without Borders Thursday to report a fever, the statement said.

The law enforcement official said the doctor was out in public. Authorities also quarantined his girlfriend, with whom he was spending time since his return from Africa.

Yeah, this makes much more sense than requiring a quarantine of doctors returning from treating Ebola ...

Maybe you missed it but the President has assured us all that its nothing to worry about and even went so far as to say he was smooching on the nurses that treated an ebolaite. We are safe and big government has us covered with their infinite wisdom.

How many Americans have gone over to help and healthily returned without a quarantine? Just playing devil's advocate here. Hundreds of health care workers have treated the 9 Ebola patients here. How do we quarantine them? Lock them in the hospital for months?
