Pair of possible Ebola patients quarantined at New York City’s Bellevue Hospital: sources EMS crews who dealt with the patients have also been isolated as a precaution, sources said. If confirmed, the two would be the first cases in the city of a deadly disease that has already killed 4,000 people in West Africa and claimed one victim in the U.S. BY GINGER ADAMS OTIS , EDGAR SANDOVAL , CORKY SIEMASZKO
Two people with symptoms similar to the Ebola virus were taken by Fire Department ambulances to a Manhattan hospital, sources said Monday.
Both patients were picked up at a New York City address and both are believed to have recently returned to the city from Africa, the sources said.
The two — both believed to be adults — have been quarantined at Bellevue Hospital.
EMS crews who dealt with the patients have also been isolated as a precaution, the sources said.

As Dr. Mobley warned, if you want to see a crushed health care system, wait until flu hits, with its initial very similar symptoms. And then, some of those symptoms develop into Ebola. And then, Ebola starts to explode. Exponentially. And Obama continues to golf.
But, the gooberment has reassured us that there is nothing to worry about.
I think these two are going to test positive.
Good grief, how many caddies does it take to lift that bag?
Stop the damned flights.
NOW!!!!!
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
A good place for them as they must be crazy as FR’s own ‘Obola’ experts have declared that it is impossible to get ‘Obola’ in America.
They denied it but are now admitting it?
Strange for the HHC to be denying...and the NYDN to be reporting. One of them is wrong.
If not it’s only a matter of time before we do get positives, especially in liberal cities with extremely high foreign populations like NYC. They said 150 Africans every day fly to the US and no doubt a high number of them end up in NYC.
Hey he’s a professional don’t you know, he needs all those clubs. He’s a pro. He plays golf and we pay him to do it.
My guess is they want to want to run rapid tests before making it public. It’ll be a few days for official tests but they did a good job keeping patient two dallas secret until the first tests were positive
Did I mention everybody needs to vote early tomorrow? The timelines are pointing/correlating to mass quarantines right around Nov. 4.
Take alcohol hand sanitizer with you.
The image at the nydailynews.com link is rather frightening.
The medical person on the right is not wearing protective gear around the neck, head/hair, face, except for the mask and protective glasses.
If either patient does happen to be positive and sneezes, that medical person is going to get sprayed.
CDC has already backed off their ‘lite’ instructions for modest protective gear based on the nurse contracting Ebola in Dallas.
Stop the damned flights.
.
But if presidunce obola the whitehut medical genius, has told the world there is no problem sitting next to an ebola carrier on a bus. Surely sitting next to one on a plane is just hunky-dory.
In the other case, a male showed up at the Belleville General Hospital’s emergency room with Ebola-like symptoms late Sunday night.
The patient had recently made one stopover in an airport in Sierra Leone, and the hospital described the case as extremely low risk.
bonus...they’ll have ottawa patient results at 600PM
