A health care worker who was quarantined at Newark Liberty International Airport after returning from treating Ebola patients in West Africa developed a fever and was being evaluated Friday night.

The woman was the first person quarantined under a new screening system announced earlier Friday by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

The woman landed at Newark after treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said at the news conference. A legal quarantine was issued for the woman, who was not a New Jersey resident and was set to go on to New York afterward.

“This woman, while her home residence is outside the area, said her next stop was going to be here in New York,” Christie said. “Governor Cuomo and I discussed it before we came out here, and a quarantine order will be issued.”

At the time, she was not experiencing any symptoms. But Friday evening, she developed a fever and was in isolation at University Hospital in Newark, according to the New Jersey Department of Health....

NJ is desperately trying to fight off becoming a Third World country; productive people and their employers are fleeing at a rapid pace already, and this would simply accelerate the process. They are afraid of becoming the Bronx on a massive scale; it is impossible to have a viable state built on gibsmedats and illegals.

Quite true. However, it appears that some large number, probably something around 100 or more, had contact with the Duncan, the nurses and others in the early stages of their disease, and thus were potentially exposed.

Of those, none, yet, appear to have caught the disease. This indicates very strongly that it just isn’t very contagious at that stage, as the docs have been saying. Which is a very good thing indeed.

When Cuomo and Christie do what Obama won’t do (quarantine) it’s a good usage of “state’s rights.” /S

The New Jersey Department of Health could not say what flight the woman was on or whether other passengers were involved. The Centers for Disease Control told CBS 2 it was unaware of the incident.

The CDC was unaware...?

Par for the course...

One thing about Christie to his credit is he is not afraid to take on big issues and do the right thing regardless of the PC blow back...

A lot of Americans like that in a POTUS candidate...whether they are RINO's or not...
