Having worked extremely hard on their coordinated talking points last night - "Ebola is hard to catch", "Doctor self-isolated", "been preparing for months" - we await NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio's public update on the state of Ebola in New York this morning... Keep Calm and Go Ebowla-ing?
- *NYC MAYOR DE BLASIO SAYS 'THERE'S NO CAUSE FOR ALARM'
- *DE BLASIO SAYS SITUATION IS 'UNDER CONTROL' DUE TO PREPARATION
- *DE BLASIO SAYS EMS DRILLED 'QUITE A WHILE' ON EBOLA PROTOCOL
- *DE BLASIO SAYS NYC IS 'FULLY PREPARED' TO HANDLE EBOLA
As NBC reports, experts stress that since the 33-year-old physician was not symptomatic at the time, it's unlikely he transmitted the virus — which can only be passed through bodily fluids while a person is sick.

De Blasio is due to speak at 1130ET...
Having calmed the public, sadly, the sign-language guy stole the show!
