A patient at Mount Sinai Hospital was under treatment Monday afternoon, after being tested after traveling to a country where the Ebola virus is present, the hospital said in a statement.
The man arrived at the East Harlem medical center’s emergency room early Monday morning with high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. The man told doctors he had recently traveled to a West African country where Ebola has been reported, the hospital said.
The man has been placed in “strict isolation” and is undergoing various tests to determine the cause of the symptoms, the hospital said.

Hey, let’s import a bunch of 3rd worlders, it’s an act of love, ya know..
I don’t worry about the guy in the hospital being tested.
I worry about the 10,000 people that flew in from Africa in the last month who weren’t tested.
If this were a sane nation like we used to be, in, oh say, 1959, there would be travel bans & steps taken to protect the American nation....but now we are some kind of universal empire, so anything goes.
That's been declared racist, so there won't be anymore of that.
Yup....it’s been declared that it’s more important that America become “the flop-house” for the third world than an actual nation. People under 35 have no idea there was once a self-respecting nation here instead of what we have become.
Just prior to this was he seen at the local water park?
Obama continues his fundamental transformation of the US!
Little by little the country is becoming what 0bama wants it to become.
Obama-care will cover it. Secret serum, plane flights, isolation chambers, everything.
Now, I just heard that the Marine in Mexico has ebola. Send the jet to get him.
Worth repeating.
I certainly hope no racial profiling entered into this.
Wonder if he was on one of the flights that American who died was on?
I just read a post on NRO Corner about Ebola fear-mongering. The fact that Ebola is not spread through the air, can be, I suppose, comforting to the hundreds of unfortunate victims of this hideous disease. The disease multiplies exponentially. I think something more than just remaining calm should be done.
Why isn’t he being tested at the “Mecca and Medina Hospital” instead???
Why did they have to take him to an Israeli hospital????

Don't worry too much. TSA is pretty thorough. Many of these people will be receiving coast to coast all city tours of the U.S.
This is part of the diversity celebration month which was just announced. Most recipients receive gifts, prizes, and meal vouchers in addition to all city tours. 25% are even offered low interest business loans if qualified.
I hope they all get to stay at hotels with pools.
2014: Life in America has become a Crap Shoot.
My reaction is that while NRO doesn't like Savage, he does have a Phd in epidemiology. He's not anti-science, or scientifically ignorant.
The guy at NRO, on the other hand, has a degree in beltway flakery, and brandishes the typical GOP-e stuff that now flourishes at NRO.
