Ebola in Brooklyn? Teen hospitalized after showing symptoms of fatal virus

A Brooklyn teenager was rushed to the hospital yesterday after showing symptoms consistent with Ebola.

The 14-year-old boy had a fever and was feeling fluish according to officials who spoke to the Daily News.

He was brought to Brookdale Hospital where tests are being run to see if he has the disease.

He is currently in isolation.

The boy was apparently in Sudan for two weeks and hospitalized there as well, but lied to officials about being sick so he could fly home.

Now, NYPD is working with officials to see if any of his family members should also be quarantined.

It’s still not clear exactly when the boy flew back into the country and just how many people he has been in contact with since returning.

New York City has been preparing for these situations it was recently revealed, with actors going into hospitals and feigning Ebola-like symptoms to see how staff handled the scenario.

Obama is finished; he’ll no longer be making choices, the Dems and Congress will be running things. He’s the rock that is sinking the Democratic ship of state. If more people get infected and start dying, he’ll be lucky to be allowed to leave the US without facing criminal charges.

Once people start getting the flu, people might panic about whether or not they’ve contracted Ebola.

I find it truly amazing that a country once so powerful would allow a token zero like Barry to walk in and do nothing accept play golf. This system has failed. The leftist press are a bunch of traitors and should be forced to lick Ebola spit.

THe only reason he was elected is because:

1) A bunch of idiots wanted to be part of history
2) A certain 13% threatened to burn down our cities
