The Bellevue Flu

Publisher’s note:  To listen to Hizzoner NYC Mayor DiBlasio and NY Gov. Cuomo talk, one would think there is nothing to worry about where it concerns the threat of Ebola.  However, many of the staff at Bellevue Hospital have suddenly come down with what can only be described as 'Bellevue Flu’ and it is anyone’s guess as to how long this new ‘outbreak’ will last.

New York City's first Ebola patient is prompting frightened staffers tasked with his treatment at the city-run hospital in Manhattan to call in sick, according to a published report.

The New York Post reported Saturday that an "extraordinary number" of Bellevue Hospital staffers took a sick day Friday rather than treat Dr. Craig Spencer. And those who reported for work were petrified at having to enter his isolation ward, the paper added, citing sources.  "The nurses on the floor are miserable with a 'why me?' attitude, scared to death and overworked because all their co-workers called out sick," one source told the Post. "One nurse even went as far as to pretend she was having a stroke to get out of working there, but once they cleared her in the ER they sent her back," the source also told the paper.
