    Eventually it will sprout wings and, like the bird flu, will fly away.

    This worries me. If it is true riding subways and such. He should know better as a doctor. Look there are tons more that can kill me, but AIDS did not start big either.

    Dr. Craig Spencer, who recently returned from disease-wracked West African country Guinea after working with Doctors Without Borders, hit the lanes in Williamsburg and used the subway - the No. 1, A and L trains - and Uber taxis to get around, sources said. The shocking revelation that Spencer was roaming around town — after first telling authorities he self-quarantined himself — emerged after the 33-year-old was hauled off to Bellevue Hospital in a protective suit with symptoms of the deadly disease.

    As your garden-variety schlub, even I know better.

    It's great that protocol was followed but from what I read, Spencer dropped the ball. Don't get me wrong; I appreciate his work, but exercise some responsibility for fuck's sake.

    And then there's this: "New Yorkers who have not been exposed are not at all at risk"

    Thanks, Capt. Obvious.

    " (CNN) -- Nina Pham was the first person to catch Ebola on U.S. soil, and now, 13 days after testing positive, she has been declared free of the deadly disease. "

    So they aren't saying 'cured'... but they are implying it. I thought there was no cure?

    It's my understanding that a healthy immune system can fight off the disease. Once you beat the disease, you should be immune to it, no?
