Ebola Alert! Dr. Craig Allen Spencer tests positive in New York


 Dr. Craig Allen Spencer treating Ebola victims in Guinea
33 year old, Craig Allen Spencer, a doctor who worked with international medical aid group Doctors Without Borders in Guinea, one of the countries that were hardest hit by the Ebola epidemic, had tested positive to Ebola. 
He became the first person to be diagnosed of the disease in New York City, the most populous city in the United States and officially the 4th person to test positive on American soil.
Dr. Spencer tested positive to the virus at the Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan New York today 24 October 2013, after being quarantined yesterday when he showed some Ebola symptom of high fever upto 103 degrees.
3 other people he had contact with in recent days, including his girlfriend have been placed in isolation at the Bellevue hospital.

He was said to be apparently in good health condition a few days after he arrived U.S. as he was reported to have engaged himself in different activities, such as; using public transport, jogging and eating out.
The infected doctor was reported to have rode three subways and an Uber cab as well as ate out and went for a three-mile jog. He also went bowling in The Gutter in Brooklyn, which has already been closed.
I just hope US Government will curb the spread of the dreaded virus. Thank God, Nigerians were able to kick Ebola out.
