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.

My brother is a nurse...does he get a presidential kiss? How abouta hug?
What is it that passed his ability to make simple judgements, like I have been treating ebola patients so I might be infected and should keep myself away from those I love and anyone else for that matter. F'king halfwit.

You know. That ain't such a bad thing.
Even if they survive it is not clear if Ebola virus particles ever truely 'clear' their system.
They have Ebola in their sperm for a year after...so it may be a population limiting virus in any event.
How many girls or women will data a post-ebola doctor ?
Ebola ... live with it forever.
Also, at this time, it may be a good time to change the French org's name from "Doctors without Borders"...to Doctors with Borders...or Doctors with Ebola.
This has to seriously impact the open borders meme....and may destroy open borders forever.

Why don't they transport these patients to a more crowded setting than a hospital. Leave them at home, run the test, why possibly contaminate more areas and people ? Central Planning ?
Here's the Ebola protocol while in west Africa-
Use disposable garments, not suits you have to fuckin hose down after the shift and put on the next day
no patient contact if your a doc
avoid all cdc and WHO issued shit, soap, toothpatoothpaste. Eat mre's and water you brought yourself from stateside
don't overstay your welcome

Can never be repeated enough. Hope he visited Wall Street before he went to Bellevue. Hope you get better, Doc...you've more courage than a murder of ZH'ers.
I'm sure this fake doctor came back from africa because he knew he contracted ebola and he wanted better treatment. His actions show that he is a psycho willing to put others at risk of death and should be treated accordingly. I would like to see him charged with a crime.
Hopefully, it is Dr. Tom Frieden of the CDC.

wow wasted bailout time to get a fat finger to spend more tax dollars. games games and more games.
And remember all vaccines they invent are totally safe. That's why they'll seek to do this......
Drugmakers may need indemnity for fast-tracked Ebola vaccines(Reuters) - Drugmakers are looking for some kind of indemnity from governments or multilateral agencies against possible losses or claims arising from the widespread emergency use of new Ebola vaccines in Africa.
While the issue will not delay the industry's work to accelerate production and clinical testing of three experimental vaccines, it is likely to be discussed at a high-level meeting in Geneva on Thursday.
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Margaret Chan will chair the meeting, which includes industry executives, representatives from countries including those affected by Ebola, drug regulators and funders.
GlaxoSmithKline Chief Executive Andrew Witty said a system of indemnity made sense given the unique situation in which companies are being urged by the WHO to fast-track the supply of novel vaccines in a matter of months rather than years.
There is currently no proven vaccine against Ebola and drug companies have been wary in the past of investing in the area, since the commercial opportunity is small. Potential losses or claims arising from the use of new vaccines would represent an additional hurdle.
Many drug companies are now discussing ways to help out with production, including some like Pfizer that are not directly involved in Ebola vaccine development.
Witty said indemnity was not a concern for the early phase of testing, when thousands of doses are expected to be given to frontline healthcare workers as part of a clinical trial programme in January, but it would be needed when vaccines were rushed into much more widespread use.
"I think it is reasonable that there should be some level of indemnification because the vaccine is essentially being used in an emergency situation before we've all had the chance to confirm its absolute profile," he told BBC radio.
"That's a situation where we would look for some kind of indemnification, either from governments or from multilateral agencies."
Brian Greenwood, a professor of clinical tropical medicine at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, agrees that drug companies should not have to shoulder all the risk. "There would have to be some sort of guarantee," he told Reuters.
MANUFACTURING CAPACITY
Leading drugmakers say they are ready to work together to speed up the supply of Ebola vaccines.
Johnson & Johnson research head Paul Stoffels, who hopes to produce more than 1 million doses of an Ebola vaccine next year, said he was discussing collaboration with both GSK and other companies such as Pfizer, which has significant capacity to make a variety of biotech drugs and vaccines.
"We are looking at capabilities for biological production to upscale further," Stoffels said in Geneva.
The meeting is set to discuss ways to streamline the vaccine supply process and ensure there are adequate financial resources.
"WHO is organising this meeting to discuss how to access vaccines when they are proven safe and how to finance them,” a spokesman for the United Nations agency said.
Europe is also set to provide 200 million euros ($250 million) of funding to develop new Ebola vaccines, as well as drugs and diagnostic tests, sources said. An announcement on the European move is now expected for next week.
"We are now in a situation where we are desperate and we are looking for solutions," Yvette Stevens, Sierra Leone ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva, told Reuters.
GSK currently has the most advanced vaccine, the first doses of which are expected to be ready for use late this year, while clinical trials on a second vaccine from NewLink Genetics have just started and J&J will begin testing a third one in January.
"This is an unprecedented pace of development. We are literally doing in maybe five or six months what would normally take five or six years," Witty said. "I've already ordered five production lines to allow us to expand production."
Now that's funny, William.

This shows how arrogant doctors can be. It appears as if he felt he was immune to the disease. Who in their right mind comes back from West Africa after treating Ebola patients and decides to ride the subway in the most populated city in the counrty to go bowling??? Ignorance is frightening.
You're right. Ignorance is frightening. I'm so relieved that you know that doctor's whole history and what he did or didn't do for the past ten days. Its reassuring that you know exactly when he began showing symptoms. That qualifies you to run your stupid fucking mouth, doesn't it? Are you panicked or something, tunnels? Slap yourself with a taser or something and STFU.
The doctors at MSF are the only humans worthy of the name in this whole business. You and your frightened, cowardly, fearmongering type have less intelligence and courage between the lot of you than that doc has in his little finger. People like yourself deserve technocrat leaders like Frieden.
We'll find that Kaine really is the best czar for the job. Watch and learn, punk.
It's not about fear, it's about common sense. Anybody coming from West Africa, especially medical personnel, should be quarintined for 21 days before being allowed into the Country. COMMON SENSE.
Based on your post, Spumoni, you could use a little of it.
History has shown quarantine works.

>>>The doctors at MSF are the only humans worthy of the name in this whole business.
MSF docs are attempting to do good work, but the existence of MSF is almost entirely due to the many EU medical schools which have "open enrollment" policies: you take the courses, you pass the tests, you're a doctor.
The existing EU medical establishment gets cheap labour, and the unemployed overflow of docs goes to MSF.

And the planning is perfect.
Wait until the US troops start coming down with ebola and refusing orders.

Since the black plague it´s been a recognized and established truth that isolation and quarantine is the only thing that works for lethal pandemics where there is no working medication. And then you have these Médecins sans Frontieres running around and doing their bit increasing the spread of the pathogen. I have over the years become so cynical that I am beginning to suspect that it´s not only borderless naivety but also other interests at play. Who funds these suckers? Do you think George is contributing?
Let me check and get back to you.
Yupp. A cursory look at open sources reveals that there are offices in Geneva , New York and United Arab Emirates. Funding and support from the Bilderberg Group inter alia.
Hell a fella could make a loot of money "helping" others...
Just look at Bono that runs all these charity scams out of which he keeps 98% (that´s right - only 2% is paid out to anything that remotely looks like charity). Bill and Hillary are running this thing with aid to poor black kids in Haiti , though they keep just 50% of the revenues. After all Billary needs to find a way to keep up the private airplanes and the lifestyle.
I think it´s a really sweet deal if you hook up this charity peddling with NWO activities . NWO´s boots on the ground so to speak. Not that the ordinary doctors running around and contracting would even begin to understand that. Those poor naive gullible people.
Now - going forward I think I will try my hand at rasing cash for something that has to do with black/hispanic people and throw in gender issues in the mix. Pimpimg is easy work aint it...
WHAT DID THE CZAR SAY?
Klain's appointment is fucking absurd - a PR liar, a flim flam man more loyal to the banks and the Deep State than anything.
But nobody seems to notice, and nobody seems to care...
And don't forget, he believes overpopulation to be the biggest problem in the world right now. Not the best trait for a Russian emperor Ebola person.
How can overpopulation be the biggest problem when Americans consume 25% of world resources but make up only 5% of the world population? It's like saying there should only be 60 million Americans.
Oh wait...
If Klein believes that human overpopulation is the #1 problem, then he's 98% right.
The imperialist 2% is the #2 world problem.
Flounder fits in perfectly. Consider Rahm "Dead Fish" Emmanuel, John "Lurch" Kerry, Timmay, the Bernank...they are all a bunch of know-nothing assholes, and he is yet another...oh, did I forget to mention the Choomster in Chief?
You missed his greatest attribute- ALL those things he was involved in earlier in this administration (the stimulus package, Solyndra, etc.) had to do with what, exactly?
Hint: Rhymes with spending money.
More than just money spending, ADMINISTRATION-DIRECTED MONEY SPENDING. The kind the administration gets to directly pick the winners and losers. Basically, they're setting him up with a giant administration slush fund under the auspices of "fighting Ebola" but it's a direct conduit to pay back political favors, buy votes, whatever. Nothing he does, none of the money he's going to spend will have anything to do with fighting Ebola.
He doesn't give a shit about infectious diseases, doesn't care about over-population or any of that conspiracy-theory crap. He cares about MONEY AND POWER. Period. Everything else is a side-show.
"Basically, they're setting him up with a giant administration slush fund under the auspices of "fighting Ebola" but it's a direct conduit to pay back political favors, buy votes, whatever. "
Indeed. He is a hack political operative and stolen cheese dispenser.
Where's my gubmint cheese??!!
It's next to your gubmint iPhone, in your Gubmint Motors car that won't start. Now get out your gubmint EBT card, walk to the nearest grocery store, and EAT YOUR DAMN PEAS!
Doesn't care about overpopulation you say?

"Hello CDC? I'm leaving a trail of shit and blood all over Manhattan"
"Your open plane tickets are being fedexed to you as we speak. Bon voyage."
That is so wrong,
and so right.
Notice how Thomas Frieden has disappeared from the scene since the Ebola czar was appointed.
Last I saw, he was in Africa (no, really), all gowned and gloved up w/"Tom" written w/a Sharpie on his headcovering. I guess he's scoping out the situation all personal like. On the ground, first hand reports dontcha know. That must be what happens when you screw up. Kind of like how the Germans would send bad officers to the Russian front.
"But nobody seems to notice, and nobody seems to care..."
All so perfectly dumbed down and programed to do. Not care. Just wait till all the I-am-a-zombie phones go dead. Then, you see people who care. Most will be dead from the withdrawals of not being able to send a text, or unable to lackadaisically stare at the screen after a day or so.
and he probably wasn't in quarantine when he returned.
Send him to 33 Liberty St. immediately!
His highest priority should be opening accounts at JP Morgan and Goldmans Sachs.
Then take him straight to the white house for dinner with moochelle and the kids. Since Barry is the one who won't shut down air travel from affected countries, he should be the one bearing personal risk.
If personal risk is what you desire, then perhaps the good doctor could check in on Reggie Love.
this is getting way too ridiculous...these people who want to come back to America should be quarantined for 3 weeks first wherever they're at until they're well past the incubation period, show no symptoms, and pass blood tests.
I'd make it an even 4 full weeks just to be sure, and then allow them to fly back to America.
.... then make 'em sail back on a tramp steamer at 2 knots....
now we have doctors all over reporting that ebola patients are being "disappeared" by the feds never to be seen or heard from again. All medical records wiped out. Feds then tell the doctors that the patient never had ebola and had malaria or typhoid.

Upvote. This is definitely not unprecedented.
Even in 1644 London, both plague victims and authorities lied about themselves having it , and about cause of death in 'official recordss' in order to prevent a panic (their word for people avoiding death).

good find! thanks for posting that. I'll be downloading it and "spreading" it around to others. hahahaha ;-)
just a little plague humor there...
Seems like the most dangerous places in America would be LaGuardia, JFK and Newark. Once again we can point out that no one's stopped flights. Are the airlines honestly making enough money there to justify the risk (think of the share prices!! 'cos heaven knows they won't think about peoples' safety).
Kinda makes you wonder why the insurance companies haven't "suggested" to the airlines: Hey you might not want to fly multi-million dollar aircraft into hot zones. If you do, you're not covered. Maybe the airlines self-insure. Lots of inexplicable hinkiness here.
Heard someone on sirius mention the incubation period may actually be double the 3 weeks.
Stays in jizz almost another month after 'cured'.

I've read 6 months...but if the virus gets protected in some fatty tissue...who knows for how long you can be 'infected'...I think forever.
Just try dating post-ebola...it must be impossible.
It's not just you saying so:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/manoj-jain-md-mph/ebola-quarantine_b_60091...
.gov limiting the " reports of new cases" would be priority if ebola numbers were growing. you know to avoid panic. I think there are limited numbers now, but NYC is not the place to let ebola care givers return to, but then I have been for a quarantine of flights from Africa hot zones before we had patient 0 in texas.
we are not home free yet..
"these people who want to come back to America should be quarantined for 3 weeks first"
Yeah, and at their OWN expense! Then you'll see how "desperate" they are to visit Elobistan -- for personal or business reasons. A nice 3-week stay at Camp FEMA should be in the 5 figures. Money has a way of separating truth from BS, and from Entitlement assholes.
Only 19.9 million people in the NY metro area. Obama has that covered from the golf course.
A 1% infection rate would be 200k.....thats a lot of beds
The current W. African ebola strain has maintained an infection rate of 2.0% per day. Times 20 MIL new yorkers they will need 400,000 beds per day.
This is exactly why ZH’ers have been yelling quarantine from the get go.
Well, used to be.
The only thing sadder than a case of Ebola, is when things are soooo FUBAR, that you actually start cheering FOR Ebola. Sad to day.
Millitary needs to dictate travel restrictions to DoS and CBP, end of story.
The military needs to depose the government, disband Congress and the Supreme Court. Hold all fresh elections in 6 months. Campaign contributions limited to $1,000 per person. Corporations cannot be "people".
I was with you until the whole restoration of democracy thingy.
They hate us for our freedoms and work tirelessly to destroy them.
No, not the alquedaisis, but the r/d/gov gang.
Honor your enlistment oath, military, and defend the Consitution from enemies, foreign, and DO-fucking-MESTIC.
The heart of the enemy command center is located in the District of Columbia. Their generals and poltical leaders are there, now.
I expect to see some air assets and some ground forces to be moving into position to put the enemy command center under siege, sometime in the next, uh... never.
It waw a nice dream while it lasted.
$$$$>>>principles,laws,ethics,human life, pretty much every fucking thing.
America? FUCK YEAH!
10 days of damage in NYC. Made for movie's.
Fuck me....
Yawn.
Poetic justice if he attended the "Robin Hood" conference...
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a blood stain—for ever.

Rusty, if you have your ears on...
WTF is up with the bordering countries in West Africa? How can the disease not be in Senegal, Ivory Coast, Mali, etc. by now? Are those river borders really impassible, or are they lying to us?
Any thoughts?
A guy I work with from Kenya says bordering countries do shutting of borders pretty well when outbreaks (ebola, marburg, etc) occur. Plus, terrain. Plus, it's a hoax, duh.
Leave the "duh" and "doh" to your poorly educated children - or at least try to help them ...
The supposed outbreak occured on the border of Guinea and Liberia, which is a VERY remote area deep in the bush. The locals in this area hardly ever travel outside their territory. I have heard reports (not verified) that there was some sort of military (US-UN) aka (alex jones queer camp) bio warfare lab experiments going on and something went wrong... but who knows.
Ghana and Nigeria stopped all incoming flights from the affected areas, not sure about French Ivory Coast aka (lmfao) ...but again, the area where the outbreak started is very remote. (research - Nimba Strict Nature Reserve)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MZWNI-Hvhc ...and then look up ArcelorMittal Mt Nimba Mine Liberia...
Obviously this has been blown completely out of proportion by the media, my personnal gut feeling is that this (ebola)will burn itself out in a couple months.
Then again, why the fuck the US is sending troops into Liberia is a mystery to me, there may be ulterior motives afoot.

That's at least a plausible and realistic theory to go with my lead lined cod piece, unlike the the flimsy tinfoil moonbattery going around that makes the locals' cannibalism-voodoo theories seem a lot less far fetched.
Its all good.

It's nice to see that all involved are fully protected by hazmat suits. I can see we are getting better at handling these situations. Where is clipboard guy?
He's dressed as a NYPD with no protective gear. No clipboard, needs a gun. Tough neighborhood
He's got one of those newfangled antibacterial UnderArmour hoodies over his head. We're good.
Yo, bro, dat be an Under Armour Burka.
Ain't no nuthin be penetrating dat thing, MFer.
Respeck.
What the ...
Son of a ..
Did you see that cat?
Did you see te pic of them transferring from the ambulance? Hard to tell if the two cops have anything protecting them. Also, the person looking at the respirator doesn't seem to have a hood on. Flounder has got to get his as serious and get a clipboard in there, or else the whole damned city is going to be infected.
And we were *supposed* to go visit family in NYC for Thanksgiving. Looks like plans may change...as I've said all along.
Yes, I was being facetious. None of the police involved are protected, and they are walking away with their contaminated shit. There will be at least three more cases soon.
Your optimism is showing again.
Can't help it, I'm a cup half full kind of guy. I might as well look at the bright side of bleeding out my eyes and asshole. At last I won't have that pesky mortgage to deal with any longer.
Well at least get some mortgage insurance so if you go you can have the piece of mind that Wells Fargo, B of A (or whomever) is taken care of.
Based on what I've seen of the NYPD on my visits to the Big Crapple,
They resemble gang members, tatted up, surly, and not friendly or helpful in the least to a tourist.
If one of them comes down with Obola, I wouldn't be surprised to see them say 'fuck it and fuck you" in their best NYC accent.
I'm glad I don't have to travel there anymore.
Being unemployed is not so bad nowadays. I mean, if you're working to maximize your income, just what are you accomplishing other than to fund criminals
WHO HATE US. AND WHO WISH WE WERE DEAD OR IMPRISONED.
FUCK.
THAT.
SHIT.
After my boat sank I said fuck it.
I particularly admire the guy with his sweatshirt over his head. I'm sure that will turn out to a very effective barrier. I think I'd walk off the job before I exposed myself with nothing but a sweatshirt for protection.
it rained all day here today. fwiw.
Welcome to my world.

Hi Miffed,
Take a look at getting a job with Bako in Alpharetta, GA. It's a big pathology lab run by a doc. Mostly cancer testing. I have heard they are expanding (bought a second office building). There are good affordable places nearby to keep retired horses as well!
Hi Miffed. I'm sure glad I retired and don't work in a hospital anymore. I used to be just be worried about coming up positive on a Mantoux.
