Did New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene commissioner Mary Bassett really say that? Yes, yes she did.
Dr Mary Bassett: [Patient] did attempt to self isolate. He was being mindful about contact with people, he's a medical doctor. #EbolainNYC

And what does “self-isolate” mean, exactly?
Health official at presser: 'He made an effort to self isolate…limited contact with others'…woman! He went bowling!

Protip for Dr. Bassett: When even Piers Morgan knows you’re full of crap, it’s bad.
