@starledger: NJ Health officials force quarantine on NBC crew exposed to Ebola
This is related to the cameraman who was taken to the Nebraska Hospital.
New Jersey officials issued a mandatory quarantine order Friday night for members of an NBC crew that was exposed to a cameraman with Ebola after they said a voluntary 21-day isolation agreement was violated.
The article does not state how they violated the agreement though.

Apparently they thought it was ok to leave their hotel room and go to a local restaurant to pick up their to-go order.

I would have to say that since the order was handed down by the NJ Health Dept. that they are probably in Jersey, however, I can't find any articles that state which city.

Thanks for the information. It's difficult to glean information within the fields and I just want to try and make sense of things that sometimes don't add up. Your info made sense.
I believe it is important to obtain as much knowledge as you can. I don't know about the airborne aspect of this virus; most information says it is not (or there would be a lot more infected..which also makes sense) but then there's the possibility of the virus mutating and changing routes of infection. It's definitely something to keep an eye on.

Is Ebola highly contagious like a cold or flu or does it take a "fluke" to get it?
A common cold requires 100 to 250 cold viruses or virions to be transmitted…….
The Ebola virus requires 1 (one) Virion or virus particle for transmission…….
It's VERY contagious……. info from friends who are virologists in the UK.

given the rate it is spreading, at the 1 year mark ebola should easily exceed that number.
influenza has been "in the wild" and allowed to mutate much longer as well. lets hope ebola is not given this same opportunity.

I'm with you. The current Administration can't be trusted, the CDC can't be trusted, the WHO can't be trusted, the NIH, can't be trusted...etc. Heck, I don't trust the doctors either because I don't believe they are being properly informed.
Besides, the average doctor isn't trained to deal with something of this magnitude. That's what the CDC is for and what a lousy job they're underperforming.

We have to take the Ebola virus very seriously, but I don't see a reason to panic at this time.
Ebola deaths worldwide so far: 4'000
Annual influenza deaths worldwide: 500'000

I am an NJ resident as well. It is proving difficult to find any other info on this locally.
IMO, it was only a matter of time before the virus started to show up around here. With JFK and Newark both being international airports, and the amount of people in the NJ/NY area, not to mention how many people use mass transit...
