[/quote] Isn't that where the Port Authority has their offices? I'm guessing they had their hands full with one doctor, they're thinking they could have to quarantine a bunch of planes or trains. The other day NY city council members were on some island where they kept typhoid mary and they were saying it needed to be refurbished and open to the public. Wondered if it's getting refurbished really fast. The could close ellis island to the public and us that or they could make the people living on Roosevelt island leave and use the hospital and barracks there or they could use the army base in brooklyn or ft totten in queens.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — In the wake of the first confirmed Ebola virus case in New York City, the states of New York and New Jersey have set up a new screening system that goes above and beyond the guidelines already set up by federal officials.
As CBS 2’s Alice Gainer reported, no other states have yet set up increased screening procedures for Ebola.
“We believe it’s appropriate to increase the current screening procedures from people coming from affected countries from the current (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention screening procedures),” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday afternoon. “We believe it within the State of New York and the State of New Jersey’s legal rights.”
Under the new rules, state officials will establish a risk level by considering the countries that people have visited and their level of possible exposure to Ebola.
