New York – Governor Andrew Cuomo did not inform New York City officials before announcing mandatory quarantines for some people arriving at airports around the city from Ebola-affected countries, Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Saturday.

De Blasio declined to criticize or commend the new rules, which also affect New Jersey, but told reporters the city would cooperate with them.
Dr. Mary Travis Bassett, the city’s health commissioner, told reporters the doctor who was diagnosed with Ebola on Thursday was in a stable condition in a city hospital.
Officials were confident they had found everyone who had had direct physical contact with him since his return to New York — his fiancée and two friends — and that they were now all under quarantine.
So what…deblaz now decides to speak up about anything. Please.
A really stupid decision done for potlicical reasons against the advice of all the public health professionals. Tonight, one of the leading organizations recruiting doctors and nurses to volunteer time to go to Africa to work with the Ebola patients said that up to 25 percent of those volunteers had cancelled because of this stupid quarantine. We will be in much worse shape if we don’t help stop the epidemic in Africa.
This mayor will go down in history as new york’s worst mayor yet. He is nothing but a useless, brainless empty suit, much like our current US president.
