NYC at the center of CDC’s Ebola war
By Yaron Steinbuch
New York City has become a focal point in the CDC’s battle against an Ebola outbreak in the United States, the agency said in a report released Friday. “New York City is a frequent port of entry for travelers from West Africa, a home to communities of West African immigrants who travel back to their home countries, and a home to health-care workers who travel to West Africa to treat Ebola patients,” said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s report titled “Surveillance and Preparedness for Ebola Virus Disease — New York City, 2014.” The city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has identified 88 people arriving from the Ebola nations thought to have symptoms of the virus, but all were cleared. But the report said the diagnosis of some patients was delayed “because of hesitancy by health-care providers to examine patients or by laboratory workers to handle specimens.”

Neu Yuk voted in a political contagen, so a real contagen being visited upon them seems seems just.
They asked for it, they got it.
Nothing to worry about. Since NYC has prohibited smoking on the sidewalks, it’s perfectly safe and healthy there.
Given a choice of sitting next to an ebola patient and a smoker on the subway, they would choose the patient because 2nd hand smoke is much more dangerous.
Minneapolis-St Paul is supposed to have a sizable population of West Africans too. I think the number I hear dis about 30000.
It’ll only be a matter of time before a case of Obola, I mean Ebola pops up here.
Why should I be put at risk because you think we deserve it?
NYC, eh? not Dallas?
The way these west Africans shuttle back and forth to their home countries, one would think the air fare id FREE!
Considering i have to save for TWO YEARS to be able to fly to Hawaii, it does pose a mystery.
I believe you are correct. Could make for an interesting experiment.
a home to communities of West African immigrants
West African immigrants = illegals who populate street corners
trying to sell you “designer goods”.......
No offense to teh conservatives stuck in Neu Yuk Shity, but Neu Yuk is the second core city in America for communism in America, second only to Chicongo.
Unfortunately, far too many Neu Yuk voters really are commies, and the latest mayor is proof.
Consequently, when the “No-Profiling of Africans” causes an Ebola outbreak, as has tolerating the invasion of those Bambino Latrino illegal aliens who carried Enterovirus-68 and a number of other serious diseases(scabies, don’t forget scabies!) been the causation of diseases from the Turd World establishing themselves in schools on Long Islan.
Elsewhere, too - or so I’ll bet.
Neu Yukkers did it to themselves.
Also, Y’All voted coal out, so when people start freezing to death in the dark, remember to “Slap A Liberal” - there are lots of them near you.
If things get as bad as has been suggested, thanks to coal plant shutdowns, consider buying a stove to burn “Pelletized Liberals”.
Poetic justice is one your side, as the Liberal Agencies outlawed stoves for wood pellets - perhaps they will better meet EPA standards when burning pelletized Liberas because as Liberals have little of substance, a burned one could not contribute much to air pollution.
After all, those things are all mouth and no substance.
