The “suddenly” part is what’s scary.

Probably not food poisoning.

This could be bad.

However, the plane was several miles high during most of its flight.

Another article noted that the plane stopped in Mecca to pick up passengers, before heading for NYC. Flu outbreak there.

Eyewitness on the flight (as per the reported story linked) claims people boarded that were already sick UE is claiming only ten now reporters say nearly 100 Hopefully we have a reporting error because if ten got on sick and now there is 100 this is about as scary as it get for possible bio weapon.

Forgive me, but what person cognizant of surroundings and risk association would board a plane along with 499 followers of Islam?

Personal safety is a personal responsibility. Quarantine that plane, top off the tanks with Jet A fuel, fresh catering and beverages, and send it right back where it came from.

Impossible they were infected with ebola by jihadi terrorists and then sent here to spread it. No sane people would do such a thing.

More like exposure to Mecca flu epidemic.

A government source briefed on situation said there was no evidence of a security or terror issue. Emirates‘ home office told U.S. officials it believes this incident was caused by food poisoning.

Eric Phillips, spokesman for Mayor Bill de Blasio, posted that the plane had made a stop in Mecca and passengers may have been exposed to a flu epidemic underway in the city.

Haven’t there been “odor scares” on planes lately? Trial runs?

A velogenic velotrophic Orthomyxo virus outbreak. The best way to contain it is to test and slaughter.
