NYC: Positive For Ebola

New York Times

From an Anonymous commenter:
Meghan Kelly on Fox revealed he contacted 4 individuals while symptomatic. His activities suggest he was not taking the 'self-quarantine' protocol seriously. 
He is the second medical professional, considering Dr. Snyderman's little episode, to make a mockery of the Feds 'self-quarantine' measures ...which are clearly inadequate at best, especially when expecting the average traveler from the hot zone to cooperate. 
I pray this doctor caught the virus while it is possible to successfully treat/cure. 
The anxiety at point of realization he was just as vulnerable as any other human being exposed to this nightmare virus certainly did not ease his gut. 
Making that phone call to the health department, knowing what physical horrors he was about to endure, and the guilt that he possibly exposed trusted loved ones and acquaintances probably adds to his mortal and psychic misery.
