Pray it's a false alarm, and this is just a touch of flu or some less alarming malady easily treated and cured. If positive, he's been in NYC for 10 days...God only knows how many contacts he's made.

UKDailyMail:
Dr Spencer is being tested for the Ebola virus as well as malaria, salmonella and stomach flu. The results are expected in 12 hours.


Quote: "On October 16, he checked in at a hotel in Brussels, Belgium, presumably on his return journey from Guinea to the U.S. "

Today is the 23rd . ..that is less than ten days ago.

  1. Damn.

    Is this what life in the United States is going to be like for the next several months? Ebola worries -- some of which are legitimate worries, as is this case.

  2. Why don't we set up a quarantine site off shore for people who visited the hot zones? If you plan to go to West Africa, then plan stay 21 days at an off-shore quarantine unit.

  4. Neighbors said Spencer lived with his fiancée. In an online engagement announcement that describes Spencer as a “goofball,” she is identified as Morgan Dixon. They’re set to be married in September of next year.

    An agitated woman who identified herself as Spencer’s fiancée showed up later at Bellevue. She has since been quarantined, sources said.
