Dr. Craig Spencer, who returned to New York City from Africa 10 days ago, was rushed in an ambulance with a police escort from his Harlem home to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday, sources said.

He was suffering from Ebola-like symptoms — a 103-degree fever and nausea, sources said.

While he was in Africa, the doctor had been treating Ebola patients in Guinea, sources said.

Off to Guinea with Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Please support organizations that are sending support or personnel to West Africa, and help combat one of the worst public health and humanitarian disasters in recent history.

Travelers from Ebola-affected countries to be monitored for 3 weeks All travelers coming from Ebola-affected areas will be actively monitored for 21 days starting Monday, CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden announced.

Too late.

A lot of smug Easterners

........and let me add MIDDLE EASTERN nurses...like the TOTALLY UNPROTECTED NURSE on the right at the exact same room in Bellevue that the good Doc is now resting in. NOtice the unprotected hair, neck, and the tennis shoes that may soon have lots of ebola liquids on them....

COming to a metro, taxi, or bus near you!

[RetSignman]

How many patients did he see since he got back?

How many patients did he see since he got back?

What soup shops did he visit! After all, we are batting 100% on self-centered doctors visiting soup shops while on "self-quarantine". I hope this doc makes the average 50%. Seems like a good enough guy.

I wouldn’t want to be the fellow who took that picture.

[Veto!]

There’s something wrong with the math…MailOnline reports that
Spencer checked into a hotel in Brussels on On October 16, presumably on his return journey from Guinea.

A digital thermometer, a 21-day symptom card and log, and wallet cards with detailed information on Ebola symptoms are part of a kit being given to everyone who arrives in the United States from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone

Staggers the imagination. These invaders have been living with the virus on and off for decades and the CDC is giving these illiterates logs and wallet cards so they can track their symptons??!!??!!??

Liberalism is a mental disorder
that's going to kill us all!

It looks like he's in a tent. Probably taken in Guinea.

The implications of ‘reinfection’ in someone who has circulating antibodies are scary, and suggest that it might be harder than we think to create a viable vaccine. This is an ‘enveloped’ (membrane coated) virus, as HIV is enveloped, and unless a vaccine is against one of the proteins embedded in the envelope it might not be effective. Making it even more of a problem is that the major viral protein in the envelope is glycosylated (coated with sugar molecules) and this makes it harder to develop antibodies against.

This is a scary virus.

Proof that doctors SHOULD HAVE borders.

[DCBryan1]

Yippee! The good doc, just back from treating Ebola patients took public transport to a popular bowling alley LAST NIGHT!

[Selene]

“has a clinical recovery, while the viral infection progresses in the [central nervous system] and eventually returns and reemerges as a renewed positivity.”

That could happen to Mukpo. He looked and sounded very ill when they released him after what - 10 days. Should have kept him at least another week.

[Columbo]

This could be a dumb question and is off-topic....would eating a zero carb diet help against glycosylated virii?

[rainee]

OMG, what are the chances he used his own bowling ball?
Those things are the worst germ carriers.

& he took a cab??

Unlike Texans, New Yorkers voted for Obama and his open borders. Now they can reap the whirlwind.
