Some background color:
* * *
Just when you thought it was safe to assume that Ebola-in-America was fixed (one day into Ron Klain's tenure as Ebola Czar), NYPost reports some rather disquieting news. A New York City doctor - who returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea 10 days ago - has been rushed under police escort to Bellevue Hospital... He is being tested for Ebola. Market liquidity has dried up instantly!

Possible NY #Ebola patient is Dr. Craig Spencer who works w/ Doctors Without Borders http://t.co/xEks9hRjbN pic.twitter.com/Dlu6xoEm32
— CBSDFW (@CBSDFW) October 23, 2014
Dr Craig Spencer, 33, who returned to the U.S. ten days ago from Guinea, was admitted to Bellevue Hospital in midtown Manhattan on Thursday and is being cared for in isolation.
The doctor flew to Africa on September 18 to treat patients in Guinea with non-profit organization, Medecins San Frontieres (MSF).
The medic works at Columbia University Medical Center and originally comes from Detroit, Michigan.
Investigators were taking the case seriously because it is not believed that the doctor self-quarantined on his return from Guinea, CNN reported.
On September 18, Dr Spencer tweeted a picture of himself wearing a full yellow hazmat suit and face mask with the message: 'Off to Guinea with Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Please support organizations that are sending support or personnel to West Africa, and help combat one of the worst public health and humanitarian disasters in recent history.'
On October 16, he checked in at a hotel in Brussels, Belgium, presumably on his return journey from Guinea to the U.S.

Full Statement on Patient at Bellevue Hospital
Today, EMS HAZ TAC Units transferred to Bellevue Hospital a patient who presented a fever and gastrointestinal symptoms.
The patient is a health care worker who returned to the U.S. within the past 21 days from one of the three countries currently facing the outbreak of this virus.
The patient was transported by a specially trained HAZ TAC unit wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). After consulting with the hospital and the CDC, DOHMH has decided to conduct a test for the Ebola virus because of this patient’s recent travel history, pattern of symptoms, and past work. DOHMH and HHC are also evaluating the patient for other causes of illness, as these symptoms can also be consistent with salmonella, malaria, or the stomach flu.
Preliminary test results are expected in the next 12 hours.
Bellevue Hospital is designated for the isolation, identification and treatment of potential Ebola patients by the City and State. New York City is taking all necessary precautions to ensure the health and safety of all New Yorkers.
As a further precaution, beginning today, the Health Department’s team of disease detectives immediately began to actively trace all of the patient’s contacts to identify anyone who may be at potential risk. The Health Department staff has established protocols to identify, notify, and, if necessary, quarantine any contacts of Ebola cases.
The Health Department is also working closely with HHC leadership, Bellevue’s clinical team and the New York State Department of Health to ensure that all staff caring for the patient do so while following the utmost safety guidelines and protocols.
Bellevue and the New York State Department of Health to ensure that all staff caring for the patient do so while following the utmost safety guidelines and protocols.
The chances of the average New Yorker contracting Ebola are extremely slim. Ebola is spread by directly touching the bodily fluids of an infected person. You cannot be infected simply by being near someone who has Ebola.

A doctor who returned to New York City from Africa 10 days ago was rushed in an ambulance with a police escort from his Harlem home to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday, sources said.
He was suffering from Ebola-like symptoms — a 103-degree fever and nausea, sources said.
While he was in Africa, the doctor had been treating Ebola patients in Guinea, sources said.
He’s undergoing testing at Bellevue to see if he has the deadly virus, sources said.

EBOLAPALOOZA!
I hope the NYPD performed a stop and frisk.
Yep. There go the markets...
Is it the 'new thing' to yell "Ebola!" in a crowded city?
Hah ha ha
Look what I posted at 14:55 hrs
They gots all our backs.
No wonder the vol, eh?
Just wait till more of this breaks, regardless of true or not.
Anybody but me notice the almost complete silence on the topic last few days.
Sorta like been told to STFU, Don't Panic?
http://www.infowars.com/medical-professional-health-authorities-covering...
It's on baby. Let the battle begin. Questionable breakage of the NYSE vs Ebola scare mongering. May the best algo win.
Fucking Guineas. What is it with New York and Italians?

Al least he wasn’t across the river in NJ where the machines might catch a virus.
Where is the man with the clipboard!?!?! You amateurs!!!
Look at the first picture. Clipboard guy has been replaced by sweatshirt-on-the-head guy.
are these people trying to get us killed?
Wont somebody think of the STAWX?!!
"He was suffering from Ebola-like symptoms — a 103-degree fever and nausea, sources said. While he was in Africa, the doctor had been treating Ebola patients in Guinea, sources said."
Must have missed him at the airport screening.
If only there was some way we could have known that he might be an ebola risk... if only we could find a way to prevent these cases from entering the US... if only someone in Washington had a brain...
Time to protect our precious bodily fluids..
And nuke New York!
Too bad we cut back acid rain.
I think BATS is the one which contracted Ebola, overheating and breaking down all the time.
Ebola cases being "disappeared" to prevent panic? I wouldn't put it past them....

Sweatshirt on the head guy is a step up and I like it.
I got a great trading strategy in these fucked up markets. I will load up on puts one day, especially a big up day like today. Then go home, get wasted with a case of cheap pabst beer, then take a cold shower and go outside and spend an hour outside in my undies....then try to go to sleep and wake up with a massive fever. Wake up early before markets open and go to the biggest hospital in the city with a 105 degree fever and bloodshot eyes. Unfortunately I aint black....but I can say I have a ton of friends from Nigeria that I deal with (whom I met through the internet) and watch in delight as the futures tank 300 points premarket in which time, I will be telling another person to dump my put options for me at a huge fuckin gain.
I dont think they can charge me for that right? I will probably just be in quarantine and kept for testing for a day but the profits will make up for it.
For God's sake get those unprtected NYPD officers a clip board !

Now Known As "The Big APOLA" ...
I've been reading "A Journal of the Plague Year"
Was just in NH two weeks ago..fellow Live free or Die dude brought up Ebola but I shushed him with "Ebowling!" (Verboten subject in my view. Even saying the word is bad in my view.) Incredibly...WE HAVE AN EBOWLER!
Momma always said not to be sticking my fingers into them black holes, nows I knows.
no one enters or leaves NYC for 21 days, simple,. extended to anyone who was in NYC for last few days. let's do this /rawr
Escape from New York
Nothing will come of this, I know because I bought a tranche of deep in the money DEC puts on the close today in QQQ on the basis the NQ being out of fucking control and everything, especially tech being in a massive FED induced bubble from QE which is ending this month.
Because of this I can tell you from past experience my puts will expire worthless and new highs into the end of the year are a given.
Short the living shit out of equities and short them hard.
Equity market bubbles break hard, not slowly & gently.
The Fed, BOE, ECB, BOJ, PBOC and other CBS have been pulling out all the stops, measures and tricks to inflate equity markets and re-liquidate banks,more 6 years now, but much of that electronic, unrealized fiat credit "wealth" that's illusory is about to be vaporized.
No soft landing. It's never different this time. The CBs literally laid a minefield.
HAZ CHEEZEBURGER!
If an Express train leaves Grand Central heading south at 8AM at 120 mph and another Express train leaves Union Station heading north at 9:30AM at 130 mph, how long until we're fucked?
101 years ago.
Which is not the same thing as being in high cotton.
Janet Yellen and her fellow criminal CB cohorts will not get to blame externalities for absolute market carnage now (not just Ebola, but watch and witness what "suddenly" important causes/incidents are blamed for markets puking their guts out and bleeding from their ass in the days, weeks and months ahead).
In reality, these events have nothing to do with the falling of the yourself cards that the CBs have constructed - Ponzi markets built on foundations of pillars of salt.
Charge you for that?
They will give you a Directorship at Goldman Sacks
"I had a bowl of ebola at the bowling alley"...Say that fast 3 times
ROFL .... if you do that just make sure that you have access to your stock program via a mobile device.
And post on ZH because that's bloody hilarious.
that's a good plan... up until the part about you going into a big city hospital, because there you might actually catch Ebola, or meningitis, or west nile, or h1n1 or something like that. That may be even better for your pocketbook, at least until the hospital bill comes.
Nuke it from orbit, only way to be sure.. Sure its old and tired but delicious.
Charge that doctor with culpable homicide and throw the cunt in jail. Humans deserve what is coming when a trained doctor is either too selfish or too fucking stupid to quarantine himself on return from Africa.
It'll be good riddance humans, you've had 100,000 years and done nothing but fuck things up.
FUCK, a doctor, a trained medical professional comes back from an Ebola infected country and goes bowling. Jesus h fucking Christ almighty.
How many people might this asshole be responsible for killing.
Fuck it, Dude. Let's go bowling.
PSA visuals are already ready to go. Just add a new voiceover.

Yeah, let's knock down some pins - I'm feelin' hot tooooonight .
Now, if you think about the logistics...
All bowling alleys have hand blowers at the ball return, to dry off your sweaty hands. Which he used with 100% certainty.
He had his sweaty hands all over a bowling ball that probably went back on the racks for someone else to use.
The score table had his hands all over it.
The bathroom water faucet, stall door, towel dispenser. If it was an air dryer...
Manual pin setters went out a long time ago, but that was a stretch to begin with.
What did he drink while there? A cup, can or bottle that likely contained a small amount of saliva that a waitress may or may not have handled.
OMG, his sweaty feet in the rented bowling shoes.
Stop - you're freaking me out.
Just lie to me and tell me it'll all be OK!
Criminal negligence at the least ... intentional homicide at the worst ... ?
And if he didn't mow his lawn since he's been back! God forbid! His penalty will be doubled!!
Not dissing some good folk in NYC, but blame Obola for bringing it in.
Lock it down!
My mother, when I told her what the latest infected medical person had done - not quarantine himself - immediately said 'it sounds like this Ebola does something to the brain. People like that are brighter than that.' It was her opinion that anyone from Africa who was known to be in close contact with Ebola should be quarantined for 3 weeks - forcibly quarantined, not self-quarantined, because if they get Ebola it will mess with their brains and they won't be able to make good decisions.
Now this is my mother who came to this immediate common-sense opinion. Why in hell hasn't the CDC not come to this conclusion already and taken measures?
Your mother must be racis-s-s-s-s sarc/off
If a person has 10 +/- 'virons' (individual virus particles) make it past the skin barrier, they can indeed be infected with Ebola.
EBOV virions are cylindrical/tubular, and contain viral envelope, matrix, and nucleocapsid components. The overall cylinders are generally approx. 80 nanometers in diameter, and having a virally encoded glycoprotein (GP) projecting as 7-10 nm long spikes from its lipid bilayer surface.[8] The cylinders are of variable length, typically 800 nanometers, but sometimes up to 1000 nm long.
A 'crystal' of 10 Ebola virons would occupy a clump roughly 400 nanometers on each side.
A single human red blood cell is approximately 7000 nanometers in diameter.
A single human red blood cell could hold approximately 75 Ebola virons.
***>>> No one can physically see a single human red blood cell. <<<***
ONE RED BLOOD CELL FULL OF EBOLA, MAKING IT PAST YOUR SKIN BARRIER, CAN KILL YOU DEADER THAN A DOOR NAIL.
But you do have a 30% chance of survival ...
WHATS YOUR VECTOR, VICTOR!
HUH??

Airplane, bro. Smoke a doobie, watch the movie, feel better in the morning.
He must have picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue
Does anyone see the disconnect between how hard it is to catch Ebola and how it is the healthcare workers who are the most vigilant and protected are coming down with it? Does that not raise any eyebrows at all?
Of course I should calm down and remain confident. A political hack lobbyists bag man has been made the Ebola czar. Perhaps infectious tropic diseases was his hobby?
hottest nearest death - but who knows what is currently circulating in the region? We've seen just this one mutation, perhaps this doctor was as hot at the bowling alley as Duncan was when he infected the nurses We have no idea, whih shows how un-serious we are about this.
the sweaty ball going round and round in the hall
The good doctor is a very, very special compassionate person.
Very special compassionate persons cannot be held responsible for the "consequences" of their actions, which are made for the very, very best of compassionate, caring reasons, you hateful, racist, tea-party troglodyte.
Right?
How can a doctor be treating ebola patients and not know about it? It's impossible. So either, he didn't tell the airport screeners about that little detail or they didn't ask...or something.
I don't know, it just doesn't make any sense at all! DOH!
The doc waits until he's 103 before figuring out he may have a problem?
At this point all you can do is laugh to keep yourself from crying...
We aren't letting our guard down but this is getting ridiculous. The guy had to know. Imagine coming back from treating ebola patients and your friends ask you how it was?
"Oh it was great, I have a fever now but it's probably nothing."
The day Frieden came out and told everyone to relax ("we're going to stop this in it's tracks") he was making it sound like containment was routine for pro outfits like CDC. He said it was "just what we do" and a "core" discipline. Yeah well, people are going on cruise ships, flying all over the place, then checking them out later.
Something else has to be going on. The pressure washer guy takes the cake.
I can see the pressure washer guy happening... after all a hazmat washdown team probably costs thousands.
It's the TWO nurses catching it that concerns me... all Africa should be dead by now if it spread that easily...
Imagine coming back from treating ebola patients and your friends ask you how it was?
Well not before you cough and sneeze on your hands before giving them all a hearty 'long time no see' handshake/hug
@ Zerohead. I agree....the males over there are breeding like rabbits over there.
Sperm requires a 49 day (seven week) quarantine.
Hope they figure that one out in Liberia...
What if it's mixed in with spittle?
Irrelevant, but in any case, it cures acne.
Ever use that one?
right now in NYC, somebody is reading the news in a bowling alley and looking down at their rented shoes...
Sweaty smelly damp grungy rented shoes
kaiserhoff!
Nope, never did the acne one but ....
.... used the one about Opera singers use it to improve the tone of their vocal chords.
Above my pay grade;)
I learn something every day here.
LOL Knucks FTW as usual.
I'm not a doctor but I play one in West Africa.
Seriously, have we seen enough yet to understand that voluntary quarantine is a farce?
Medical professionals like this guy & Nancy Snyderman don't have the discipline to avoid putting everyone around them at risk.
The Spanish influenza was 10% to 20% fatal to those infected and killed 50 to 100 million people.
We are facing a virus that kills 55-70% and are leaving it up to individuals to decide if they think they are carrying the virus.
I wonder if the doctor was screened when he returned from West Africa?
Forehead thermometer at the airport to detect a disease that may not show up for 3 weeks. Brilliant.
I would add that it doesn't kill in some nice neat quick way. It kills you something like a Stephen King horror novel way as your insides turn to mush and come out through every opening in your body.
This guy is a complete schlep.
Maybe the deagel folks are right?

69 million in 10 years?
"It's the TWO nurses catching it that concerns me... all Africa should be dead by now if it spread that easily..."
I don't think the majority of people in Africa commute all over, hang out in malls, go on cruise ships or fly around in airplanes.
Also, outside of Liberia, most of the neighboring countries seem to be pretty competant at detaining people and tracking down everyone who could be affected.
Maybe American freedoms and exceptional thinking are the problem.
When homes schools and hospitals in rural areas commonly have dirt floors and there is scarce access to clean water and proper sanitary sewers... and bat is on the menu and the fly is the national bird... well... that's a place just asking for trouble.
Say... hope the flies don't spread it from the dead bodies lying on the roadside...
Sure, but as long as they don't travel across thousands of miles every day, the disease stays contained in the village, and the village can be isolated, with supplies brought in. That's why all the previous outbreaks burned themselves out. Its the cities with international airports you have to worry about - that, and apparently western doctors who are too arrogant to self-quarantine.
Just so. The Doc who investigated the Sudan outbreak found it was already over. The nurses fled the hospital, and once that was gone, the disease died out quickly, but here's the kicker. He drove 400 miles across central Africa to get there, and reported that no other vehicle had used that road in months, PROBABLY YEARS.
Isn't this the crisis that Clowerd, Piven, Rahman and Obola have been dreaming of?
Don't forget the guy's family and friends did not get sick. Odd that.
Yet. He's only been back for 10 days and only symptomatic for a short period. Give it a couple weeks.
Why didn't he just take an aspirin like everybody else?
He did, but didn't call me this morning as per instructions
You're forgetting the amazing human capability for bullshitting ourselves blind about things we don't like or don't want to be true. Especially prevalent in males when it comes to medical issues.
So, can we change the name to "Maladie sans frontieres" yet?
Rwanda is already placing travel restrictions on Americans. Not everybody is crazy.
And in other good news, Mali recorded its first confirmed Ebola victim, a 2 yr old child retrieved from Guinea after her mother died there.
Don't short the virus.
They put the bar on that. Looks like an Obolian Candidate must be on the way there.
All of that and he managed to walk the streets, ride the subway from Manhattan to Brooklyn to go bowling...how many people did he encounter just on the subway alone? Jeepers!!
No problemo, amigo. They're going to trace his contacts. And while they are at it, they'll probably count the rats in the sewer system and all the junkies in Harlem. Yuck, yuck.
This guy is not an humanitarian. He is an asswipe. Speaking of that, did he use any public toilets at the bowling alley or in the subway? Un-fucking-believable.
Well, he had such great intentions, you see, and a superior sense of moral purpose. Fuck reality. That's the way Libs act, because they don't think.
Yeah, I sure hope this faggot doctor dies. Some humanitarian. He cares so much about sick africans, but no problem endangering everyone in NY.
If one thinks for a minute it seems that the most interesting vector to spread the dissease are the medical workers there. Are they vaccined before they start they job to pass this on the poor people there?
"The Post said Spencer, who is in stable condition, has been playing an active role in his recovery, putting his medical skills to use, lecturing the staff about proper treatment."
That's got to go over great with the hospital staff who are only in danger of being exposed to the virus because Spencer is an idiot.
I think that is the grim reaper sporting a mullet.
The Big Apple has a worm in it.
hope he doesn't ride the E train
I HOPE HE DOES AND WAS HANGING OUT AT THE WALL ST STATION. WHAT A HOOT THAT WOULD BE
I'll bet a lot of TSA and customs thugs are sweating it out now. Serves them right.

And you just hit the nail on the head. The ebola-suicide-fuckers are already mixing it up as male and female whores and call girls for the banksters and those who hire them. They are looking for wall street types, and politicians. Be aware, ebola IS a sexually transmitted disease, so best not to be farking any Itialian Guineas in New York.
Are there any people from Africa living in Harlem?
Doh
That's where Bill Clinton's offices are. Remember? Big brouhaha about going into Harlem, politically motivated kabuki theater.
Long ago that was one bad ass mofo area. Once when riding in on Metro North, trains had to stop and disembark all passengers at Harlem stop. NYPD had guys shoulder to shoulder looking out as 1,000's of commuters got onto buses for the ride down to the MetLife/GCT buildings.
And just off the Harlem platform was one of the greatest neon signs in the world on an old mission. The cross that had Jesus Saves across it in Neon. F'n awesome at night.
He there because its a great place to get a quick BJ
No homo
Dude! I had not thought of that!
It makes sense!
Slick Willie is a quick study: He learned the last time that getting a "Lip massage with a happy ending" from a member of the Tribe has "Residual Costs and Obligations".
Rich and powerful "men folk" should learn that there is no free lunch, no free sex, and that they're better off paying a real Pro.
In '81 or '82, after drinking all night, a couple of my buddies and this crazy biotch I was "dating" took off on a spur of the moment drive to NYC. We left around midnight and saw Lady Liberty just after sunrise. (still drinking, ahhh...the good old days). While there, over the protests of my "girlfriend" - whos car I was driving - I drove into Harlem. We were passing burned out shells of buildings, totally stripped out shell of cars, etc. I was actually beginning to get nervous myself, but the gal was getting hysterical. When we saw a building on which a ghetto poet had graffitti'd some rant for a couple of hundred feet or more on the side of the building. It began..."Throughout history, white man has proven to be the most violent race on earth...." The chick began screaming and hitting me.
It was time to go.

Not anymore "Doh". Those beautiful tree-lined streets and the beautiful brownstones have all been sold off to whitey. A pity really 'cause Haarlem used to be a fun place ...
Yeah, a downvote. What's wrong asshole? You put in a bid for a nice big brownstone and were rejected?
Fucking crybaby...
is there anything left of new york?

Not anymore, not what you have in mind. Not for a long time.
You know nothing of NYC.
That infowars story is only part of it. I listened yesterday and multiple callers from around the US called in to confirm what is being said.
No ebola on raido. Secret code words confirming infection. Disappearing patients. Malaria not ebola.
"Is it the 'new thing' to yell "Ebola!" in a crowded city?"
Your right to spew projectile vomit ends where my open wound begins.
Or ssssomething like that.
