911 emergency dispatchers in New York have been instructed not to use the work 'Ebola' over the radio.
According to the New York Post, officials made the decision in an effort to minimize fear and panic since the radio channels are often monitored by civilians and the media.
The Post reports that dispatchers have been instructed to use the code ‘F/T' when discussing callers that have a fever and have a history of travel to West Africa.

F/T? What’s that stand for? F This?
I think “SHTF” would be more appropriate.

Seattle police have absolutely banned “Ebola”.
They have been instructed to use PPE when talking about it, in case someone picks them up on the radio...

I think it would be cool if they just used the term “possible Screw Train rider.” (Thanks, Laz, for the inspiration.)

Say one of the following:
Bundibugyo
Sudan
Zaire
Tai Forrest
All strains or species of Ebola.
The current one shares 97% of its’ genetic code with Ebola Zaire. So may be a new one.
Before this outbreak there have been 2387 documented cases with 1590 fatalities, a 67% fatality rate.

in an effort to minimize fear and panic since the radio channels are often monitored by civilians and the media. And now, since the F/T code is known, they will have to figure out another euphemism.
