Already they are blaming the victim in the New York Ebola case.... Dr Spencer [View all] diabeticman Oct 2014 OP

He did what he was supposed to and I wish the best for him and his girlfriend. uppityperson Oct 2014 #1

Very well said, sir. Thank you for your post. Dr. Spencer is a hero. greatlaurel Oct 2014 #2

The adult conversation that needs to be had Ms. Toad Oct 2014 #3

He got a fever today and got into the hospital 2 hours. He was NOT a threat before. diabeticman Oct 2014 #4

The science is not that absolute. Read the peer reviewed studies - Ms. Toad Oct 2014 #8

His temp was 100.3, not 103. Transcription error compounded by media feeding frenzy. uppityperson Oct 2014 #62

As someone exposed to Liberia, he was supposed to be under observation for 21 days, pnwmom Oct 2014 #19

He started to feel "sluggish"on Tuesday, and that was too many days after his flight pnwmom Oct 2014 #23

Particularly in view of Vinson's recent experience - Ms. Toad Oct 2014 #34

And he's no doubt heard plenty of medical histories that began with fatigue as the first symptom. nt pnwmom Oct 2014 #35

I see no evidence that Dr. Spencer acted irresponsibly. He isolated himself when he got a fever and greatlaurel Oct 2014 #6

I am interested in making sure that people understand that they when they have been exposed, Ms. Toad Oct 2014 #10

Your facts appear incorrect. The experts at the news conference did not say that. greatlaurel Oct 2014 #24

There are currently inconsistent versions being reported. Ms. Toad Oct 2014 #33

Well, I do not think I used any vulgarities, but I did watch the news conference where the facts greatlaurel Oct 2014 #36

There have been several, mostly in connection with Nurse vinson Ms. Toad Oct 2014 #37

Of course he acted irresponsibly. cali Oct 2014 #49

You mean do like he did? Isolate, call authorities when symptoms started, detailing his travels? uppityperson Oct 2014 #7

He was bowling on Wednesday. LisaL Oct 2014 #9

Before he had symptoms. eom uppityperson Oct 2014 #14

Bowling, several subways, and a taxi Ms. Toad Oct 2014 #12

"when symptoms started" he isolated himself, called authorities. eom uppityperson Oct 2014 #13

When did they start? LisaL Oct 2014 #16

And that means Wed he did not have symptoms. Wed is the day before Thur. uppityperson Oct 2014 #21

Then why did you post that article from fox news saying otherwise? LisaL Oct 2014 #22

I think we are going in circles here. I am done, will wait to see what is released tomorrow. uppityperson Oct 2014 #26

We will have to see what the timeline really is. Ms. Toad Oct 2014 #18

Yes, he certainly didn't isolate himself in his apartment on Wednesday. LisaL Oct 2014 #15

What MsToad said in the reply below this. uppityperson Oct 2014 #17

There seem to be conflicting reports about when his syptoms started. n/t Ms. Toad Oct 2014 #20

He didn't isolate himself on Wednesday. He took a subway around the city Wednesday night pnwmom Oct 2014 #28

There seem to be conflicting accounts on different media sources. I am done for tonight, will wait uppityperson Oct 2014 #29

You're right -- time will tell. Hopefully. nt pnwmom Oct 2014 #31

Just starting Du today, did you see this? Temp was 100.3, not 103, "transcription error" uppityperson Oct 2014 #61

Yes, that's a good sign for degree of contagion,hopefully. And also a reminder pnwmom Oct 2014 #64

Indeed. He called before his temp got to CDC recommended level, good for him. uppityperson Oct 2014 #65
