Right, which is why hundreds of thousands of people die each year from the flu. It's due to weakened immune systems.

Sooo im an enviornmental contractor, i get a call from my boss after working at Columbia when im on the palisades to head back to the city and check on something "small", this business is a little crazy with you never knowing where your headed. Anyway, Im on 147th and I see all these news trucks, at first I pay it no mind but then I play back in my head how sketchy and vague my boss was on the phone. I decide to check the news and whadda ya no, front pg of the daily news is this ebola **** on 147th st. 5 mins later I get an email saying the job is cancelled. So either my boss purposely did not tell me I was about to walkin into a possibly ebola affected apt or he cancelled the job after he found out what was really going on. I havent talked to him since but ill see him tmw morning. If he knew about this and was still sending me without a notification of what i was getting into then im quitting on the spot. Mind you, we have never done this type of work. We do mold, asbestos, lead etc.....not deadly disease remediation.....*****hh , crazy day

If you are fighting ebola, why put an entire city like NYC at risk by coming back home without giving yourself a 3 week waiting period?

You dont cure the virus, you take care of the body so it can fight the virus itself.

They cordoned off that block and sent in a hazmat team. So, did it ever occur to you that maybe the job you were going to was just in the vicinity of that? Like you said, your company does mold and asbestos. Why would ANYONE call your company to come out and test an apartment for an infectious disease? Especially when the hazmat team is already in there.

I got there at 430, it wasnt blocked off then, ******** of press was out tho......it is possible it couldve been a neighboring unit in that apartment but i doubt it. My boss has had our guys clean up all types of other stuff tho, crime scenes, oil spills, feces.....so I dont put it past him one bit. Email also said I was meeting an inspector from the health dept in the lobby, I have never mer a health dept employee at a job before. Luckily I didnt go in there and make a fool of myself when Im sure theyd be asking all types of questions im not equipped to answer

Well, thanks for clarifying that earlier.
Anyway, I really don't see the big deal here. ultimately, you got sent to a job, you have no idea what the job was, and your boss called you off of it. Also, if it was the Ebola apartment, it's entirely possible your boss wasn't at liberty to discuss it, and you'd find out when you got there (hence, the health inspector, who would assess the situation).
No matter what, if that was the apartment in question (does the address match where you were going?), you probably weren't getting anywhere near it, considering the only people who've gone in have hazmat suits on.

This dude took an Uber cab to the bowling alley on Day 9 now Idk if this virus could be transmitted through sweat but if so, RIP. Dude could've been sweating on that leather, them bowling shoes, his balls. Plus if he ordered a drink that came in a cup. SMH, stay home and get quarantined. I respect dude for going overseas and he deserved the right to come home, but he should've been in quarantine from the first day he landed.

Seriously.
ANYONE coming to the US from West Africa should be on immediate in-home quarantine for atleast the 3 week period.

It wont be widespread, nor will it reach the general public.
But boy this is going to put everyone in a semi panic mode.
