Dr. Spenser is an American with an American passport. He has a right to come home to his family.

I might add, a travel ban would not have prevented this case from coming into the country. It is still better to be aware and be prepared than to count on a travel ban.

...Officials said a doctor (click here) who recently returned from West Africa was positive in preliminary tests for the Ebola virus Thursday night, Associated Press reported.

He was identified by the New York Times as Craig Spencer, 33, an emergency physician at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

He underwent tests for the Ebola virus at Bellevue Hospital after developing a fever and other symptoms earlier in the day. The organization Doctors Without Borders said the doctor had worked with it in treating patients in West Africa.

Health officials are re-tracing his steps to determine who he may have come in contact with before and after showing symptoms....

It is amazing how quickly an American can lose their constitutional rights when Republicans rather be isolated from reality.

Magnificent. The Latin American Community was included in the announcements and included in the reassurance by the Mayor.
