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.

..."Dr. Spencer began to feel sluggish on Tuesday but did not develop a fever until Thursday morning, he told the authorities. At 11 a.m., the doctor found that he had a 103-degree temperature and alerted the staff of Doctors Without Borders, according to the official.

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.

The next morning, he reported having a temperature of 103 degrees, raising questions about his health while he was out in public."

It's a good thing he wore his complete PPE to protect him from contracting the virus..

The Dow Jones was up 300 points 3.00pm EST. When this news came out the Dow quickly dropped a 100 points. When his tests came out positive after the close, the futures show a drop of 85 points.
I don't understand the panic.

It's ALL about the panic... Watch what happens in NY tomorrow and how many businesses are shut-down or quarantined and all the people put into 21 day isolation.

Let's hope he walked through the NYSE and infected all the dishonest financial people...

The market could come to it's senses by then. The Ebola is supposed to be containable.

We need to mass murder all those infected with Ebola. It is self-dense. Gas chambers need to be built in concentration camps for those infected.

All of Africa should be nuked by all the militaries in the world. Everybody needs to be killed in Africa. It is self-defense. There is simply no other way. This disease is so FUCKING deadly that even those wearing hazmat suits were STILL infected!!!!

Think about that.

This selfish little fucking prick of a doctor should have his medical license revoked and thrown in hot lava to destroy his contamination of humanity.

Doctors are the biggest fucking ASSHOLES and the medium through Ebola infestation in other countries from Africa.

Wasn't I right that doctors are worse than lawyers today?!?

Where is Adolf Hitler when you need him!?!

We need Eugenics for those infected with Ebola. FUCK treating this shit!

Just eradicate it by legally mass murdering those infected. They are carriers and therefore Ebola Zombies...

Looks like the APOCALYPSE is here!

May APOCALYPSEFUCK help us! He is all we have left now as our savior!

Maybe after another five or six terms he will learn how to be President. So far, he has only mastered the bullshit.

Oh if only Ebola would run rampant down Wall Street.

You'd see a cure come to market PDQ.

Why is Frieden still heading up the CDC?

Hey, what happened to all the people in contact with the guy who died in dallas, like the people living in the apartment with him, the people who powerwashed his puke, the medics, all the people on the plane he rode on, all the people he met? Do they all have ebola now? Didn't see that on the news, did anyone? Pandemic here we come.

The Dallas health care workers were placed in quarantine, as the NYC doctor should have been upon his return.

Read the question. I asked about all the people in contact before he went to the hospital. Where are they now?

What is with sending Ebola patients to big urban hospitals?

Wouldn't Plum Island or some other facility in a less dense area with better access control be a better choice?

Cheaper than drone decontamination, and effective.
