A doctor in New York City who recently returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea tested positive for the Ebola virus Thursday, becoming the city’s first diagnosed case.
The doctor, Craig Spencer, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday and placed in isolation while health care workers spread out across the city to trace anyone he might have come into contact with in recent days. A further test will be conducted by the federal Centers for Disease Control to confirm the initial test.
While officials have said they expected isolated cases of the disease to arrive in New York eventually, and had been preparing for this moment for months, the first case highlighted the challenges surrounding containment of the virus, especially in a crowded metropolis.

“Cuomo says 4 people. Not counting the folks who put on the bowling shoes or used the bowling ball, right?”
Or the janitor that cleaned up his mess in the restroom. Or the waitress that bussed his half eaten snavk. Or the dishwasher that cleaned his dirty plate. Or the cashier that handled the money he had in his sweaty wallet, .....etc
Markets freaked out about the nurse in Texas last week, will be interesting to see how they react to Ebola in their own city...
Blow all of the bridges into Manhattan, and let nature work her magic.
Did you notice there was NO news on this till after the markets closed today?
Headline in the UK
BREAKING NEWS: Ebola hits New York as doctor who recently returned from treating patients in Africa tests positive for the deadly virus - after feeling ill on night out bowling in Brooklyn
Because our federal government is stupid.....really criminally negligent.
So this doc did not think that he might be contagious? This doesn’t smell right. He lives in Harlem,
Moslem?
Incorrect. The market dropped on the news. About a 10 point SPX drop and then climbed a bit.
Hmm, makes me think that some of these infected people returning to the USA want to deliberately spread the disease to America.
Nahh, couldn't be that.
I find it bizarre if the Dallas-Cleveland list was over a hundred people, yet this guy in the largest city in the US only came into contact with 4 people? Maybe Cuomo is telling the truth, but I have my doubts.
White Dr who lives in Harlem. Moslem?

How about everyone who WANTS to come from Africa stays quarantined THERE, then they get a clean bill of health document.

That lady at the presser, 10:16 ET, is lying through her teeth, talking about how good the doc did at self-isolation.
His poop is in the sewer system.
