We took our daughter to the clinic yesterday and they asked us, after apologizing for having to do so, if any (and yes, I confirmed she meant all of us, not just our daughter) were having any the following symptoms:

Fever
Severe headache
Joint and muscle aches
Chills
Weakness
Nausea and/or vomiting
Diarrhea
Red eyes
Raised rash
Chest pain and cough
Stomach pain

We got the same question each time we spoke with someone at a computer terminal, the receptionist, the doctor, and again at checkout.

Kind of makes me wonder what happens if you answer "yes."

I'm from Central NY, just a few hundred miles north of NYC. A few days ago I passed a dentist's office in town and they had a sign in the window with pretty much the same symptoms as those on your list.

If it gets any closer I'm going to bug out.

They must think they are immune but It would be nice if they could give us the facts instead of letting everything slip out piece by piece. I wonder how many days we have to wait until they let us know if this is another Ebola case.

Problem is they aren't giving us enough information. I live away from cities and next to a forest but I do not feel safe.

You bring up a good point and I haven't heard anywhere that they closed down the bowling alley.

Makes you wonder if they think they are immune to it.

Part of the problem is they believe the hype that it is difficult to catch, as many on ATS like to stress, they think you have to swim in the virus to catch it.

Not true at all.

But if you believe the CDC, take the precautions that you are told will keep you safe and infection free. Then why worry you'd catch it.

It would only be if the truth about the ease of transmission were stressed to the health care workers, that they would know they are at risk anytime they care for an Ebola patient.

But they are lied to by the CDC, the Department of Health, and the government that Ebola is nearly impossible to catch if you take the proper precautions, and they believe the lies.

Even our doctors don't care to seek a medical quarantine when coming back from Africa??....What the hell are we doing? This disease is indefinitely going to spread because of carelessness like this. It angers me to no end to witness a possible mass depopulation because these people are allowed back into the country without being instantly screened. He was on a plane full of people. In the city full of people. With his girlfriend who was around people. Gah.

Doctor who treated Ebola patients is rushed to NYC hospital

The Big Apple may have its first case of Ebola.
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 was suffering from Ebola-like symptoms — a 103-degree fever and nausea, sources said.
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.

New York Post video of crews in protective suits at Bellevue Hospital


Look at those idiots in the back! What do you do when you see people in hazmat suits in front of a hospital? Right, you go closer and take pictures

your statement holds so much truth. The more that keep coming back with Ebola the more chances we have of this spreading.

wow, so he did have a temp when he was at the bowling alley. He is a DR and he should have knew better. Thanks for the information. piece by piece we continue to get more information.

True. It feels as though what little information we are allowed is rationed into little bits and pieces. It's very aggravating.

Wow, this is literally THREE blocks away from me. There is an elementary school literally half a block away from where his building is. Hopefully he hasn't come into contact with children or parents of children who might go there.

a reply to: RunForTheHills

They started out claiming the tests took 24 to 48 hours. They are stating at the moment this doctor's results will be available in 12 hours.

I recall others have tested negative within 3 hours.

None of it makes any sense.

Oh my, too close for comfort! Hope you, your family and friends all stay safe! Please update us if you hear or see anything more!!!

it is very confusing to me. Either they can test within 3 hours or 48 hrs. Does not make any sense to me that a test could vary that far. Again I think they have to try and get the story together before they go public.

Well thats it for me. I will not be coming back to NY until this all dies down.

So far Mexico is nice and is not all epidemicky....lol

a reply to: MrLimpet

I read they've sent the CDC "swat" team to pick up the blood sample, perhaps it's been prioritized. 12 hours seems reasonable, allotting the 48 hour quote to a less prepared transportation method.

If this is indeed true, my mind is officially blown at the sheer stupidity of it all! How are people coming from these West African countries who have had dealings with Ebola NOT quarantining themselves?! What in the world is really going on! And this administration's hiring of a crisis response operative is NOT reassuring.

I think "They" need/want a crisis.

I will bet the bank this all has something to do with either 1) the UN's push for a worldwide health tax or, 2) Obamacare, or 3) the players are invested in some company or companies that stand to make bazillions.

Thanks for this information, hopefully we know soon if it is Ebola or not.

I do not know what to believe anymore. I was almost to the point of thinking this whole Ebola scare was controlled but now I too am thinking there may be something more sinister to it all too. I may be starting to think like a conspiracist now.
