A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
A 33-year-old Doctors Without Borders physician who recently treated Ebola patients in Guinea was rushed in an ambulance with police escorts from his Harlem home to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday, sources said.
Craig Spencer, who was was suffering from Ebola-like symptoms — a 103-degree fever and nausea — spent Wednesday night bowling in Williamsburg, the sources said. He used Uber taxis to get there and back.
He landed at JFK airport on Oct. 17 on a connecting flight from Brussels, a source said. Spencer’s temperature was 98.7 degrees upon arrival, the source added.
I used to live in WB. Pretty safe except in the PR part.
Poor Peter Lugers
The bowling alley owner needs to file a lawsuit against this doctor!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Both the Bowling alley and Uber taxi service should sue this doctor for their lost revenue which will be easily proved in court.
Anyone infected as a result of his actions should also file suit and then sue the airline that brought him back.
In my opinion any commercial airline running flights from Ebola infected areas are absolutely negligent and responsible for any secondary infections from people brought in on these flights.
Who cares what obama says about travel bans, commercial airlines should stop the flights themselves. The airlines run to these destinations for profit and no other reason. They also are completely aware they are putting peoples lives at risk by continuing to fly to and from these destinations.
