All together now: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!A New York City physician who worked with Doctors Without Borders treating Ebola patients in West Africa has tested positive for the virus after returning to Manhattan, city officials said Thursday. He is the fourth confirmed case in the United States.

Spencer arrived at JFK airport on Oct. 17 and went through the ramped-up screening. The CDC said he had "participated in the enhanced screening for all returning travelers from these countries."
The doctor "went through multiple layers of screening and did not have a fever or other symptoms of illness," the CDC added in a statement.

(Although, to be fair, this was a doctor who was supposedly well trained and well prepared to deal with Ebola patients who went over with Doctors Without Borders in mid-September. How did he contract the disease?)
How long before health workers refuse to treat fevers?
The doctor did not come directly here. He traveled in Europe before coming back to th states. Will the howlers start demanding that no airplanes from anywhere be allowed to land on our soil?
Maybe we'll start up another quarantine center at Ellis Island.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
