Right. But I know of at least one major hospital (Mount Sinai) that is a Cuomo designated Ebola center a lot closer to his apartment.
It would be like if he lived in the French Quarter and the ambulance took him to Ochsner when Tulane was also a designated Ebola center.

That works well in both the ebola and the Global Warming thread.

Also any NYC OT people? He lived in Harlem? Why? All my NY knowledge involves 70's, 80's, 90's pop culture. So help me out. Is Harlem becoming a place to live?

It's not necessarily the hot spot to live but it's more livable for non-minorities than it used to be. The area he was in is pretty nice, especially his building.
The hospital he worked at is also a few blocks away.

my best friend lives in Williamsburg, participates in a bowling league in Brooklyn, and his team name is EBowlA. When i texted him this story yesterday he shat himself.
I told him it was too soon for that name.

It continues to baffle me that a supposedly highly trained medical professional -in this case a Dr. Without Borders volunteer returning from the very thick of the African pandemic- just runs through one of the most populous cities in the world, sticking his nose-picked fingers into bowling balls like it's no big deal.
Same with the nurse just up and jumping on crowded, confined-space airplanes after slopping through an Ebola patient's effluents.
I mean, OK, so catching Ebola requires some sort of exchange of bodily fluids. But why would folks who are medically trained and have been in DIRECT contact with this crap insist upon proceeding as if perfectly normal?
Seems like cavalier behavior to me.

Read my earlier post. I used to live on his street. frick it. This is what I wrote:
"I used to live on W. 147th. His exact same street. Not as bad of an area as you'd think. Not great either but it's gentrifying rapidly. Plus it's close to the hospital he works at. "

The number of dumbasses on this board is truly baffling...
Lets assess the facts..
Patient Zero arrived in the US after misleading officials. The CDC actually predicted that this would happen.
Patient Zero resided in a house with 4 other persons before being taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Patient Zero was treated by several health care professionals and released back to his home.
Some days later Patient Zero again was rushed to the hospital by ambulance and tested positive for advanced stage Ebola. He later dies.
Two Nurses later test positive for Ebola. In the aftermath the leading consensus is that they exposed themselves to Ebola by removing their protective gear in such a way as to as expose themselves to the contaminated garments (They took the gloves off before taking off their protective gowns). Both RN's took care of the patient before he was officially diagnosed with Ebola. One later flew with over 100 persons on a commercial airline flight.
Both RN's are expected to make full recoveries.
So, lets assess who isn't infected?
None of the four people living with Patient Zero. Keeping in mind all of them had direct and unprotected contact with Patient Zero while he was symptomatic and contagious.
None of the EMT's or Ambulance staff who were also in direct contact and without protective gear. Same story, he was symptomatic and contagious.
Dozens of other healthcare workers who encountered Patient Zero both before and after he was officially diagnosed with Ebola.
None of the travelers aboard the flight have tested positive for Ebola.
This MD was asymptomatic and reported himself to proper authorities before and after returning to the US. He was testing himself for fever and the data was being given to local health officials. He followed a rigid CDC protocol and the likelihood of him infecting anyone is very remote.
Ebola is only spread by direct contact with bodily fluids and is not airborn. Ebola doesn't live on surfaces like other viruses found on cruise ships, etc.
More American citizens have died of the flu than Ebola in the past month.
You chicken little's need to settle down. The sky isn't falling.

Jesus Christ you only catch it through non saliva bodily fluid transfer in like the last stages of the disease. Everyone who has caught came in contact with Ebola patients who were dying basically. Not one person in the us has caught it via a person-surface-person transmission. And it'd be pretty hard to do so bc you'd have to ignore a big pile of vomit and blood.
Ebola is about as contagious as HIV is. So I guess this reaction shouldn't surprise anyone, bc at the height of the HIV panic people had the same mindset, touching or even being around something a gay person had touched was dangerous. It's understandable, but it's just as medically ridiculous

The hipster proliferation is real. I'm surprised more on this board aren't supporting a contained outbreak in the area.

It appears that some of us are immune to the ebola...so tonight instead of going to church several of us are meeting at Freds on the River...
