| 2014-10-28 |
| [NYPost] A 5-year-old boy who just returned from West Africa was transported to Bellevue Hospital Sunday with possible Ebola symptoms, according to law-enforcement sources. The child was vomiting and had a 103-degree fever when he was carried from his Bronx home by EMS workers wearing hazmat suits, neighbors said. "He looked weak," said a neighbor. "He was really, really out of it." The boy returned with his family from Guinea Saturday night and five members of the family were being quarantined inside their apartment, sources said. |

| #5 Maine's Ebola protocols mean quarantine for nurse Total 21-day quarantine since last possible contact, but can be at home with partner... whose own quarantine, if doesn't move out for the duration and should Nursie test positive, begins on the day she came home. New York City Hospital Says Boy Tests Negative for Ebola Virus Preliminary results, at least. They're keeping him isolated until the definitive results are in. |

| #4 the US had it right - was it NYC? New Jersey - compulsory quarantine. Then that nurse is threatening to sue because she didn't like it. For all the "heroes" going to volunteer in West Africa, that should just be part of the cost: compulsory quarantine. Don't go and be a hero if you don't like it! |

| #2 It's OK, though. The boy has already voted in next week's election. (sarcasm, I hope) |
