Doctor who treated ebola patients rushed to New York City hospital – NY Post via ForexLive

This is hitting markets, from the New York Post:

r. Craig Spencer, who returned to New York City from Africa 10 days ago, was rushed in an ambulance with a police escort from his Harlem home to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday, sources said.

He was suffering from Ebola-like symptoms — a 103-degree fever and nausea, sources said.

While he was in Africa, the doctor had been treating Ebola patients in Guinea, sources said.

He's undergoing testing at Bellevue to see if he has the deadly virus, sources said.

It still hasn't hit the major newswires but it's likely what's weighing on USD/JPY and stocks.

The New York Daily News has more details and says he was in Guinea and:

FDNY hazardous materials specialists sealed off the apartment as EMS rushed the doctor, clad in an exposure suit, to Bellevue.

I think the trade on ebola is to fade fear but the story is still breaking so the trick is timing it.
