Possible 2nd Ebola Case in NYC

The NY Post and local news are reporting this morning that a 5 year old boy who returned from Guinea Saturday night was experiencing "ebola-like" symptoms -- 103 degree fever and vomiting -- and was rushed to Bellevue. Five members of his family remain quarantined at home. {#emotions_dlg.crying}

Let's hope this isn't the case.

Bless his little heart. I pray he and his family will be okay!

It is much worse in babies and children. There fevers can spike to 106. I hope it is not true either. Thanks for starting this thread O/P. Just waking up to this horrible news.

I've been listening to NYC news all morning and have heard no mention of this.

There is a lot in the news about the quarantined nurse.

I do hope he doesn't have ebola.

I see it on Channel 2 and Channel 7 sites. I heard it on the channel 4 hourly update.

Thank you.
