I have not read that he was ill Tuesday. And I agree that one would expect him to be more cautious. I think maybe these medical people think their space suits are better protection than they actually are.

Do you think NYC will get all hysterical like they did in Ohio? Cleaning trains and the subways, tossing out bowling balls and pins, closing schools? The Duncan experience showed the CDC is probably right that you have to have actual symptoms to be contagious, and even then, it is only remotely likely that anyone will catch it until the patient is late in his course.
Now there you go making sense! It seems you need to be around someone near the end surges of Ebola to get it, but everyone is just going to ignore that
The WP articles states that he had been "feeling sluggish since Tuesday."
And went bowling on Wednesday.
That's not a fever. Fever is what they are monitoring. Feeling sluggish without it would not be a red flag necessarily and he would not be contagious with just that.

OK - I didn't say he had a fever. My point is that as a DOCTOR who has recently been treating Ebola patients, he should have applied extra caution concerning the general public - in NYC, especially since he started feeling sluggish on Tuesday.
We need to know which train Mr Spencer took... to go from Manhattan to Brooklyn...
thanks Doc Although I like what you did in Africa,
you failed to follow basic protocols.
....
please do not go bowling when you are in quarantine or follow the CDC guidelines when you know they are bunk
should have known better.
Now 8 million may be at risk of turning into a zombie for the coming Halloween.
it's ok though...
Luckily my immune system is still great and I got some supplies for vitamin C
honey and anti bacterial + anti virus items recently to boost my immune system.
A turn for the worse but the ones that are at risk? the immune deficient people such as those on wall street snorting cocaine smoking and binge drinking all day long.
also stay away from homeless people in NYC since they are now high risk.
good luck guys.
Actually he followed the current international Doctors without Borders protocol which is self- monitoring during and 21 days following the last potential contact with bodily fluids of a maturing case of Ebola.

For my money, anyone who has had first hand exposure to Ebola should be quarantined on arrival. This case will give further information, though, on whether that is necessary or not. This case was not mishandled like in Texas. Aside from maybe his girlfriend, this one is going nowhere. He seems to be much sicker than the nurses were too. He may not make it.
He started feeling bad on TUESDAY and went bowling on Wednesday.
I'm sorry he has Ebola and I appreciate that he went overseas to help combat it, but dayum - you'd think he'd isolate himself the minute he started feeling bad, knowing what he knows.
Denial is a primitive coping mechanism.
