The good news is that New York's first Ebola patient,
Dr. Spencer, is "showing improvement."

The bad news is:

  • *NYC: 357 INDIVIDUALS ACTIVELY MONITORED AS OF NOV. 5

Contained indeed and "hard to catch"

  • *JOINT EBOLA UPDATE FROM NYC DOHMH AND HHC
  • *NYC: EBOLA PATIENT IN BELLEVUE CONDITION IS STABLE
  • *NYC: EBOLA PATIENT IN BELLEVUE CONTINUES TO SHOW IMPROVEMENT
  • *HHC CITING ONE PERSON IN QUARANTINE DUE TO CONTACT WITH SPENCER
  • *NYC: 357 INDIVIDUALS ACTIVELY MONITORED AS OF NOV. 5
  • *NYC: 1 NOW SUBJECT TO DIRECT ACTIVE MONITORING DUE TO SPENCER
Via NY DOH,


The City is announcing that, after an additional physician review,
one individual under quarantine because of contact with Dr.
Spencer will now be subject to direct active monitoring. The
individual poses no public health threat and is showing no symptoms.
This person's daily movements in New York City will no longer be
restricted, and the individual will be assessed twice each day by Health
Department staff. One individual in New York City currently remains
under quarantine.

The patient being treated for Ebola at HHC Bellevue Hospital
Center continues to show improvement and is stable. He remains
in isolation and is receiving treatment.


The City is also providing an update on the number of individuals under
active monitoring in New York City. As of Wednesday, November 5th,
357 individuals are being actively monitored by the Health
Department. The vast majority of these individuals are travelers
arriving in New York City within the past 21 days from the three Ebola-
affected countries who are being monitored post-arrival, as well as
Bellevue Hospital staff caring for Dr. Spencer. The list also includes FDNY
EMS staff who transported Dr. Spencer to Bellevue and the lab workers
who conducted Dr. Spencer's blood test. All of these individuals are
being monitored out of an abundance of caution, and none are showing
any symptoms. The number of individuals who will be actively monitored
will continue to fluctuate as people arrive or depart New York City, we
learn more about people's exposures, and 21 days of monitoring has
passed.

FACT SHEET: Emergency Funding Request to Enhance the U.S. Government’s
Response to Ebola at Home and Abroad


Since the first cases of Ebola were reported in West Africa in March
2014, the United States has mounted a whole-of-government response
to contain and eliminate the epidemic at its source, while also taking
prudent measures to protect the American people.

Today, the Administration announced it is seeking $6.18 billion
through an emergency funding request to Congress to enhance
our comprehensive efforts to address this urgent situation. To
help meet both immediate and longer-term requirements, $4.64
billion is requested for immediate response and $1.54 billion is
requested as a Contingency Fund to ensure that there are
resources available to meet the evolving nature of the epidemic.

The $4.64 billion for the Administration’s immediate response, as
outlined below, is designed to fortify domestic public health systems,
contain and mitigate the epidemic in West Africa, speed the procurement
and testing of vaccines and therapeutics, and strengthen global health
security by reducing risks to Americans by enhancing capacity for
vulnerable countries to prevent disease outbreaks, detect them early,
and swiftly respond before they become epidemics that threaten our
national security. These are the same activities that are necessary to
combat the spread of Ebola and reduce the potential for future outbreaks
of infectious diseases that could follow a similarly devastating, costly,
and destabilizing trajectory.

Will we soon find out "What happened" to the Dallas family,
and others in contact with Duncan too?

I think that many "Election Protection from Ebola Detection" cases will now "appear ".

Right from the start
eventually, if travelers from these countries are continued to be allowed to come here, we will run out of resources to monitor them. the epidemic is growing exponentially. eventually one of the increasing number of infected ebola persons is going to come here, be monitored, but get sick and infect other people before they are caught.

incompetance, stupidity or design, i cannot figure this one out!

A friend was at NorthPark Mall on Sunday and saw an Asian woman laying on the floor in vomit with EMT's in PPE gear and cops wearing masks standing around her. My friend got out of there pronto.

You know I must be stupid. I just don't understand this so someone please explain it to me.

You've been around someone who has Ebola. They are symptomatic and are quarantined. In the meantime you are free to roam around and do whatever you want as long as you have your temp taken twice daily. Given that this is NOT something as easily recovered from as a sore throat or a stomach bug or even the flu (and yes I've had the flu before and wished I would die I felt so bad) is it wise to just walk around when you could conceivably become symptomatic yourself?

I mean if you don't want this to spread wouldn't the smart thing to do be to quarantine anyone in danger of coming down with it?

These medical professionals made a CHOICE to go to treat people with this.....we are here making the choice not to go so WHY do they feel it's their right to bring it here?

Worse; we're still letting people in who are "travelling". SIGH. What has to happen before that stops?
Those poor primitive Africans were smart enough to close their borders, for the time being.

When will the states demand the Gov. put a stop to these travelers from Africa? After all we are paying for the sick ones! Will any of our new elected officials do anything about it when they get in office in late January? Will it be too late?

John, gee what a surprise. Within hours of the election, we are suddenly "told" New York is monitoring nearly 400 people for possible Ebola. My, My, gang what a difference 24 hours makes. ROTFLMAO

100,000 Ebola cases in Dallas by the weekend anyone?

Yep, the dam is cracking now.

I'm sorry, but we don't need over 6 billion dollars to fall in Obola's hands to fight Ebola in west Africa. Most of that money will be used for "other things" like, more DHS crap. You know most of that kind of cash will go to uder waste and they will ask for more.

Nope, we won't "run out of resources." If you read the linked article in post #3 (click on "read more here"), you'll see that part of this new funding will go toward 50 EBOLA TREATMENT CENTERS HERE!!

We are indeed screwed.
