Ebola jitters for some, but not all, New Yorkers
Traveling into Manhattan by subway from Brooklyn on Friday, the day after a New York doctor was diagnosed with Ebola, Dennis Johnson and his fiancee, Lian Robinson, were trying to be sensible about the odds of the disease spreading.
Still, they found themselves discussing possible escape routes out of the city, just in case.
“I think we’d have to drive,” said Johnson, 42, noting that planes, trains and ferries were modes of transport he’d avoid. New York, he added, “is a big city. It’s a melting pot.”
