which did not include the subway. Nor did it include nausea, pain, and a fever on Wednesday night.

I really don't understand people with medical training, exposed to Ebola, within the incubation period, not treating anything that feels like the flu as Ebola - and keeping themselves at home (or going to the ER under controlled circumstances).

So far, we're 1 for 3.

Of course, someone will be along shortly to tell us that he was doing as he was told, and that there his actions posed absolutely no risk to anyone, and we should stop spreading panic.

Aside from anything else, the monitoring costs of the 160+ people in Ohio, and now probably an equivalent number in NY,C, alone ought to be reason even for those who believe that risk magically appear at some magic temperature or symptom (rather than being on a sliding scale from pretty low to pretty high) to support doing whatever it takes to share a little common sense with certain medical personnel who seem to have lost theirs, of late.
