New NYC Ebola Possible Case Taken To Bellevue From Patricia Doyle |
| Hello Jeff - Another Ebola case in NYC, Brooklyn a community
close to and with ties to Brownsville Brooklyn where the woman died of a
supposed heart attack with blood coming out from everywhere, eyes, nose,
mouth etc. Obama is going to allow thousands here already to stay. The flood gates will open and thousands more will take the flight to the US. How many will be infected? Even though Obama claims the people that are here already will be the ones that can stay as long as the outbreak lasts, I do not believe him. Thousands will hear of this and thousands will come here seeing asylum from the outbreak. This is unfair to those immigrants who wait their turn legally. It is highly unfair to those of us citizens who will lose jobs and affordable housing. It is unfair to those who will get sick from diseases brought here. Why not at least make them purchase health insurance. Iceland will not accept travelers who do not purchase Iceland health insurance. I agree with them. The Icelandic people should not pay for travelers who get sick and have hospital bills that they will never pay. Why should the Icelandic population pay those bills. This is a real tragedy for the US a once great country. Patty Bedford-Stuyvesant Man, Recently Returned To NY From Mali Being Tested For Ebola At Bellevue Hospital The man, said to be in his 50s, returned to New York over the weekend, sources said. On Wednesday he went to a private doctor, complaining of the flu; he was sent home, sources said. On Thursday morning he called 911, told an operator of his trip to West Africa, and was ultimately taken by ambulance to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan. A Brooklyn man who returned from West Africa recently and exhibited symptoms consistent with the Ebola virus was taken by ambulance Thursday to Bellevue Hospital for testing, law enforcement sources said. The man, who is in his 50s and lives in Bedford-Stuyvesant, returned from Mali over the weekend, the sources said. Mali is not one of the three West African nations that are the center of the Ebola outbreak, but it has had six confirmed cases, five of which were fatal, according to the World Health Organization. On Wednesday the man went to the office of a private doctor affiliated with Interfaith Medical Center in Brooklyn, complaining of flu-like symptoms, but was sent home, the sources said. It was not clear if he told anyone at the doctor's office of his recent trip to Mali, or whether he was asked. On Thursday morning, he called 911, asking to be transported to a neighborhood clinic. When he explained that he had recently returned from West Africa, the city’s Ebola protocols were put into place, the sources said. Paramedics rushed him from his home on Spencer St. to Bellevue Hospital for testing and treatment, officials said. Officials are awaiting the result of the testing. The ambulance that transported the man to Bellevue and the EMS team who handled his care were put through decontamination procedures, an FDNY source said. “These are procedures we take in the interest of safety,” the source said. “It’s a precautionary step. None of it confirms that this person has Ebola.” Cops briefly cordoned off the block on Spencer St. where the man lives. Officials are investigating to determine individuals the man may have come into contact with, police sources said. The city’s latest Ebola scare comes 10 days after Dr. Craig Spencer, a doctor from Manhattan who traveled to West Africa to aid in combating the epidemic, was released from Bellevue Hospital after overcoming the virus. Spencer's was the only confirmed Ebola case in New York to date. Ebola has killed more than 5,000 people in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. ttracy@nydailynews.com http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn-man-tested-ebola-article-1.2017659 |
