A 5-year-old boy who just returned from West Africa was transported to Bellevue Hospital Sunday with possible Ebola symptoms, according to law-enforcement sources.
The child was vomiting and had a 103-degree fever when he was carried from his Bronx home by EMS workers wearing hazmat suits, neighbors said. “He looked weak,” said a neighbor.
Update from Japan:
And while we await to learn if NYC has its second confirmed Ebola patient, the algos’ attention next turn to Japan, where moments ago NHK reported that a man who visited Liberia for 2 months and traveled to Japan via Belgium and U.K., and exhibiting a low-grade fever was undergoing tests for Ebola after entering Japan via Haneda airport.
NHK added that the man appears not to have had any contact with Ebola patients, according to Japan’s health ministry, but then again this is Japan: the country that lied about everything related to the Fukushima disaster, so one is best advised to ignore, and in fact assume the opposite of whatever government officials state.
