Naturally there’s plenty of snark in reaction to the news about a New York City doctor having the Ebola virus. It’s the way a lot of Americans deal with troubling news.
Oh HELL TO THE NAWW. EBOLA IN NYC?! time to move

The good news, NYC, is you're still more likely to be killed in a jihadist axe attack than by Ebola.

"Start spreading the news
I'm coming to stay
I'll be in every part of it,
New York, New York!" #EbolaNYC— Joan of Argghh! (@JoanOfArgghh) October 24, 2014
If we hadn't cut funding for Ebola research, we'd now have a vaccine that half of NYC would refuse to take.

Remember the regular media after they got sent anthrax letters?
…Yeah, they're going to react to a NYC Ebola case in much the same way.

@moelane Well, now it's potentially affecting Important People as opposed to us replaceable joyless proles.

Don’t worry, according to the CDC and the President, Ebola is practically impossible to catch.
@UrbanAchievr @redsteeze Not like every pair of bowling shoes in the joint didn't already have Ebola.

I don't think Ebola is going to get on the subway in NYC. But if it does, it would probably look like this: pic.twitter.com/MKfmFUFS6z

You'd think maybe a Dr. might know how not to spread #Ebola in NYC but hope you enjoyed that game of bowling dickBird.

NY officials congratulating each other for letting an infected Ebola doctor use the subway and go bowling? This is a bizarre presser. #nyc

A strange little-known side effect of Ebola is making Piers Morgan sound rational.

NYC Dr. with #Ebola TOOK THE SUBWAY LAST NIGHT from Manhattan to Brooklyn, went to a bowling alley, then took a taxi home. 103 fever today.

He had to take Uber because the yellow cab already had Ebola

If you have been in close contact with the Ebola virus, you should be in mandatory quarantine until cleared. End of story. #Ebola #nyc

And yet… MT "@nytimes: Mayor Bill de Blasio: "There is no reason for NYC to be alarmed. Ebola is an extremely hard disease to contract."”
— Bob Moul (@bobmoul) October 24, 2014
Extremely hard to contract.
EXTREMELY.
