• Dr. Craig Spencer Returned to NYC 10 Days Ago from Africa, Rushed to Bellevue Hospital with Ebola Symptoms

    It was inevitable, right? I am talking about a potential case of the Ebola virus popping up in the Big Apple. On Thursday afternoon, Oct. 23, Dr. Craig Spencer was rushed from his Harlem home with a police escort en route to Bellevue Hospital.

  • Experts Say a Travel Ban Won't Stop Ebola from Spreading

    It seems like the CDC is rewriting its protocol and rules regarding the Ebola virus on a daily basis.

All of the conflicting ideas and confusion has caused many to think a travel ban might be the obvious way to go, but expert sources disagree, saying a ban will not stop Ebola from spreading.
