TheAtlantic: 21 Days
An expert in biological warfare warns against complacency in public measures against Ebola.

“I want to be pleasant through this whole thing,” California Representative Darrell Issa said on Friday, unpleasantly, to a panel of medical experts at a congressional oversight-committee hearing. “But,” he continued, scolding from his perch, “we have the head of CDC—supposed to be the expert—and he’s made statements that simply aren’t true.”

During the tense four-hour session, the subcommittee challenged almost every element of the United States’ response to its domestic Ebola cases so far. Most pointedly, chairman Issa criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s messages to the public.

“Doctor,” Issa said, turning slightly to address Assistant Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services Nicole Lurie, “You can get Ebola sitting next to someone on a bus if they, in fact, throw up on you, can’t you? That’s reasonable?”

WSJ: Bellevue Hospital Center has begun transferring patients from its intensive care unit to nearby NYU Langone Medical Center, a signal that caring for Ebola patientS could require changes in how New York City’s flagship public hospital operates.
Two adult patients were first moved over the weekend and another two pediatric patients will be moved Monday, according to a joint statement from NYU Langone and Bellevue.

NYDailyNews: Boy who traveled to West Africa being tested for Ebola at Bellevue Hospital, results expected Monday
The child, 5, had a high fever when an Emergency Medical Service ambulance crew rushed him from his Bronx home to Bellevue Hospital about 9 p.m. Sunday. A source said the boy had recently been in Guinea, West Africa, but had not displayed any symptoms after going through a check at Kennedy Airport on Saturday. At Public School 195-196, where the boy attends kindergarten, city Department of Health workers were passing out 'Understanding Ebola' leaflets to assuage fears of students and their parents.
Mayor de Blasio urged calm and said the boy was at Bellevue Hospital with his mother, who sources said is 40.

“The child at first did not appear to have any symptoms,” the mayor said. “The fact that the mother shows no symptoms at all is a very encouraging sign.”

The boy had been visiting relatives in Guinea for a month with his family and returned home on Moroccan Airlines early Saturday, landing at Kennedy Airport, sources said.
When he was rushed to Bellevue on Sunday evening, he had a temperature of 102.7 degrees and bloodshot eyes, the sources said. The boy is in an isolation ward at Bellevue Hospital — the epicenter of the city’s response to the Ebola crisis.

Officials have also quarantined the boy’s 52-year-old father, a sister, who is 15, and two brothers, ages 13 and 2, sources said.

“As a further precaution,” a team of so-called “disease detectives” are now tracing all of the young boy’s contacts “to identify anyone who may be at potential risk,” an official said.
