[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Rumor, can anyone confirm or disprove? Ebola case at Mt. Sinai in NYC?

Posted: 10/2/2014 4:02:11 PM EDT

Customer just told me they saw it on Google news search and 20 minutes later it was gone. I can find nothing. Has anybody else seen this?

Probably just another "take no chances and test for it" situation.

That does not make it an actual case.

For the next while, I think it's safe to assume that most people with flu-like symptoms or stomach aches will present themselves to ERs to be checked for Ebola.

This could get crazy.

But we don't know how it spreads!

based on that information, I must assume only large geographical features prevent infection.

Thank you Rocky Mountains for saving us from Utah Ebola outbreak.

Agreed, just curious. NYC would be a very bad place for a breakout given the fluid nature of business and tourist travel.

Good. It's going to be crazy for ambulance/hospital people, but it's necessary at this stage.

Could we wait until ebola cases are CONFIRMED?

In this case panic is good. For the next few months, cases that are even 1% possible of being ebola need to be treated very seriously.

Hiram, there was a story in the news about Ebola at Mt. Siani hospital maybe a month or two ago. I believe it turned out to be a non event. Maybe your customer didn't realize it was an old story?

Just a bit....feverish...I guess....

I'm not faulting the hospitals for testing, I'm referring to all the news coverage of every time this happens and the several threads a day on this subject.
