The New York City doctor who became infected with the Ebola virus last week initially lied to health officials about his movements around the city after he returned from treating victims of the disease in West Africa, according to a published report.
The New York Post, (http://nypost.com/2014/10/29/ebola-doctor-lied-about-his-nyc-travels-police/) citing law enforcement sources, reported that Dr. Craig Spencer initially told investigators that he had self-quarantined in his Harlem apartment. According to the paper, Spencer's story fell apart after investigators checked his credit-card statement and information from his Metrocard.
Spencer, 33, returned to New York from Guinea on Oct. 17 and was rushed to Bellevue Hospital Center on the morning of Oct. 23 with fatigue, nausea, and a 100-degree fever. In the intervening period, he traveled on three of the city's most heavily-trafficked subway lines, visited the High Line park and a Greenwich Village restaurant in lower Manhattan, and went for a three-mile run before going bowling at an alley in Brooklyn the day before he was hospitalized.
Spencer didn't admit the extent of his travels until a New York police officer "got on the phone and had to relay questions to him through the Health Department," the Post quoted a source as saying.
The doctor had spent the month prior to his return treating people with the deadly virus as a volunteer for Doctors Without Borders in West Africa. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday that Spencer's condition remains serious but stable. No infection has been found in his fiancee but she remains under quarantine at the couple's Harlem home. No one else has been reported as infected, and city health officials said New Yorkers should not be alarmed about contracting the disease.
More than 4,900 Ebola deaths have been reported this year during the current epidemic, nearly all of them in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

This is the reason I have been for a complete travel ban from this region to the US. Our ignorant leader apparently thinks he is a scientist as well as a race monger. This entire situation is being handled as a political event and his refusal to protect the interests and health of US citizens inside the US borders should be enough of a reason to finally convince every left leaning individual that they have elected a complete fool to represent their interests. The president wants us to rely on the honor system for people returning from Ebola ridden countries. We have had two individuals so far to abuse the honor system and also the visa system to enter the country. Now he is toying with the idea of bringing infected non-citizens here for treatment in the US. This guy is so far out of touch with reality it is unreal, I honestly believe he will sacrifice American lives here in the States just to maintain his party's open border policy. I applaud Australia's decision to take decisive action to protect their citizens, maybe the socialist occupying our government seats could get a few pointers from the Australian government in how to serve the people whose taxes they rely on. Unless things change drastically in the coming months I worry about what social and civil unrest will occur. I believe the American people are pretty much feed up having immigrants and leftist save the world policies shoved down our throats. If these immigrants don't like the culture and laws that have been here since our founding days Fine, stay where the hell you are now! Don't come over here expecting me to change to so you feel more at home in my country, if you want to feel more at home, then stay in your homeland. I imagine that Jimmy Carter can finally rest now knowing that he wasn't the worst president ever to sit in the white house. I think more people should look ahead to what their children and grandchildren will be facing if the current trends continue. The future is looking very dismal based on the direction politics is heading now. I think there should be term limits for ALL public offices and ALL campaign donations must come from individuals with donation limits capped at 500 dollars. I would also change many of the out-dated immigration laws and policies beginning with the born on US soil birthright. That one policy there is abused beyond description. I would also change the voting age to 21 with a military exemption, require a photo ID for voting since an ID is required for almost everything else in the USA. I would like to see a requirement that requires a person has paid income taxes in the 2 years prior to an election with exemptions for indigents, and those unable physically to work. I did not include mentally able to work because if they don't have enough sense to work and decide how to handle their own resources I sure the hell don't want them helping to decide how my taxes are used. I also think students should only be allowed to vote if they are self-sufficient and not living on daddy's money. Sorry for the long rant! I am just sick of politicians and die-hard save the world liberals running this country into the ground due to self-interest and third world welfare allotments.
