Fear and panic spreads as Ebola doctor's 10-day itinerary reveals he rode three subway lines, ate out, went bowling and took an Uber taxi before testing positive for deadly virus
Doctors Without Borders physician Dr. Craig Spencer visited a busy Williamsburg bowling alley Wednesday night just hours before becoming ill The 33-year-old took an Uber car to Brooklyn from his home in Harlem He tested positive for the deadly virus, New York's first diagnosis
Ebola panic is swarming New York City tonight as it emerged infected doctor Craig Spencer rode the subway, visited a crowded bowling hot spot and took an Uber cab just one day before he was rushed to the hospital with a 103F fever.
Tonight, the Doctors Without Borders physician tested positive for the deadly virus 10 days after returning from Guinea where he was treating patients.
But it has emerged that instead of steering clear of crowds, the 33-year-old last night took the subway from Harlem to Williamsburg, where he visited The Gutter, before taking an Uber cab home.
Earlier that day, he went on a three-mile jog and took the 1 train to the High Line garden - a popular tourist destination - before eating out at a restaurant.
Meaning that residents in at least two dense New York City neighborhoods could have been exposed: Williamsburg and Harlem, where Spencer lives.
New Yorkers have flooded Twitter in panic revealing their fears after visiting the bowling alley and taking the subway at the same time.
One exclaimed: 'He took the subway from Harlem to Brooklyn?!?! YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE CITY SUBWAY SYSTEM TO DO THAT'
Another said: 'Now that Ebola is here, I aint takin the subway no more...'
And one wrote: 'Son Ebola found it's way to NY? I'm sick'

Like something youd find in Pittsburgh.
Southside or East Liberty? ‘Better be careful what you say to “Stiller” fans!
“So, question. What do you call a doctor that made Ds in medical school? A doctor!”
There is a bell curve distribution in every group. Drs are no different.
Don’t forget, nearly half of them graduated in the bottom half of their class........
Wow. That post should have its own thread.
LOL! Love that tune and that show!
I second that emotion.
“I said earlier, he is an idiot, or he did it on purpose.”
Put me down in the “on purpose” column.
I guarantee he believes if he can spread Ebola here a vaccine will quickly be developed to stop it and he will be seen as some kind of hero.
Thank you for that link, I didn’t know that about hyssop. The three day and seven day rules are fascinating.Leviticus is where I would always bog down in the rules and repetition but now it and Numbers are beginning to fascinate me Thanks again very much.
Please do your part to stop the insanity.
It has gone on long enough.
We need a travel ban from the Ebola countries.
Call your repsNOW:
Call the DC offices, or their local offices....but CALL!
The insanity of a doctor returning from a hot zone, breezing through the so-called enhanced screening process at the airport and then potentially exposing thousands of people to Ebola is the height of insanity.
We are ten days out from a nationwide electionthe pols need to hear from you.
The family you save may be your own.
Looks like I got sent to the corner by the mod.
I also found the use of ash in purification rituals interesting. Our military MOPP gear is charcoal lined to protect against chemical weapons....
This is just the start baby! Wait and see what happens when Obama lets in a few more Ebola patient zero cases here and there. Oh, and if someone DOES come down with Ebola who had only minor contact with one of the these patient zeros, it’s game over.
Yet the federal government and local cronies keep pushing mass transit.
Self driving automobiles seem so much safer.
That’s confusing.

He was just doing what a doctor does — taking care of the sick.

‘’Messes with your mind before the fever comes and is measurable (my theory) ‘’
‘’I have been wondering (and wife MD) if there is a neurological component to the ebola virus. We keep observing over and over again bad judgement as a precursor to known symptoms. ‘’

“The Hot Zone it tells how Ebola victims essentially become apathetic and lethargic. They really aren’t thinking right.”

Very worth a repeat...
I think he did it on purpose.
“I guarantee he believes if he can spread Ebola here a vaccine will quickly be developed to stop it and he will be seen as some kind of hero.”
Hubby and I said the very same thing last night.
It’s the ‘dogooder’ kind of thing to do.
Hmmm
Well potash makes soap right? I never paid enough attention when my mother and grandmother were making soap. I wish I had. And charcoal is used by hospitals for poisoning right?
