A doctor in New York City who recently returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea tested positive for the Ebola virus Thursday, becoming the city’s first diagnosed case.
The doctor, Craig Spencer, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday and placed in isolation while health care workers spread out across the city to trace anyone he might have come into contact with in recent days. A further test will be conducted by the federal Centers for Disease Control to confirm the initial test.

Told you so. If a physician of his training can not only contract but travel with ebola we NEED to close those nations to travel. This is BASIC stuff folks, no epidemiology or infectious disease training needed. The African nations that have restricted travel (even while being located between outbreak nations) have prevented this disease from spreading into their countries.
