For the past two years, New York and New Jersey infectious disease experts have been laser focused on prep and training for the upcoming FIFA World Cup games — with 1.2 million visitors from around the world set to watch 48 teams battle it out on the pitch.
Across the US, those numbers skyrocket to 6-7 million.
And with that massive influx of foreign visitors comes the threat of infectious — and sometimes deadly — diseases, including viral hemorrhagic fevers, RSV, tuberculosis, measles, varicella, hepatitis A, typhoid, malaria, SARS, hantavirus and even “high consequence” diseases with high mortality rates, like cholera and Ebola.
And then there are considerations for mass-casusalty events, like shootings.
“The whole health care system in New York City will be on the alert for ALL of these events,” Dr. Vikramjit Mukherjee, chief of critical care at Big Apple’s Bellevue, told Healthbeat New York. “We’re looking at it like a huge migration event.”
In October 2014, Bellevue became famous for treating New York City’s only confirmed Ebola patient, Dr. Craig Spencer.
“Because of what we’ve seen in the last few years — Ebola, Covid, and mpox — we feel that we will be the ones who will be affected first for the next outbreak, and therefore have an additional responsibility of keeping prepared,” Mukherjee said.

Hire Fauxci....
The people that brought down the Twin Towers could afford World Cup tickets.
I mean its NYC, who’d tell the difference
3rd world futbol fans?? No problem, let ‘em all in. /s
Even Third-World countries have people rich enough to make the trip.
Full body condom.
Take the free LaGaurdia shuttle from the airport to Jackson Heights & the subway. You’ll realize the diseases are already here.
John Rocker was right.
I was in NYC last weekend, to attend a recital at NYU. I should have remembered Rocker’s comments.
Everything is 40 percent more. I’ve now run into some of the rudest people in existence.
Nothing like the loving embrace of collectivism.
Nobody is happy there.
BTW, if you have to fly into LaGaurdia, Delta’s terminal C is nice.
Yep, I’ve heard in the past that big events like Super Bowls or political conventions, that there are big numbers of prostitutes.
Well, if we run out, there's always Congress.
Make every visitor wear these things at all times, also a flea collar. And set up some sort of dip stations at the airports for parasite control.
Let’s hope they don’t take advantage of the opportunity to smear some dread bacteria around—and start another pandemic panic.
Yep, I’ve heard in the past that big events like Super Bowls or political conventions, that there are big numbers of prostitutes.
Remember Rob Lowe at the 1988 DNC convention? (Although, I think he’s since become a Republican)
Yeah, because they were so effective during the scamdemic. As if those diseases haven't already come across the borders during auto-pen's term of office.
If any of these diseases are not here already, they’re not coming with the World Cup fans. New York City is an absolute cesspool these days. Many days I am on the PATH train, or the subway, and I can’t find a single rider who speaks English or looks like they were born here.
Read Tom Clancy’s book “Rainbow Six”. Reminds me of the crap that is coming.
Wasn't that happening every day at our southern border while Biden was President?
A giant curfew on anyone wanting to leave nyc might be a better idea.
After the FIFA World Cup it crawled out of the subways and oozed from the sewers like puss from open sores ..... NY. NY.
And those are just the visa over stayers...................
