When Ebola Came to New York City

By Douglas V. Gibbs

We are told not to panic, yet the liberal left leaders seem content with doing nothing at all regarding the appearance of Ebola in the United States.  Texas, following the emergence of Ebola Tom, is no longer the only place Ebola is popping up.  Now, we have a case in New York City.

The infected patient is a doctor who treated Ebola patients in Guinea who recently returned home from his medical work in Africa.  He is now in isolation in the hospital, but he made contact with other people before being removed from the population.  He traveled on the subway Wednesday night, spent time in a bowling alley, and took a taxi back to Manhattan.

Thursday morning, the doctor reported having a temperature of 103 degrees.  Experts say that people infected with Ebola cannot spread the disease until they begin to display symptoms, but authorities are still attempting to use information from his credit cards and MetroCard to determine his movements.  The sicker the person becomes, the more contagious they become.
