Megyn Kelly on New Ebola Case: Dr. Craig Spencer Was ‘Irresponsible’

Less than an hour after reports that New York Dr. Craig Spencer tested positive for Ebola, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly remarked that his reported actions after returning to the U.S. from Guinea sound very “irresponsible.”

She said, “He comes back into New York City, he knows he’s been handling Ebola patients, and he’s here for a week? He doesn’t tell anybody and if he starts to feel symptomatic before his 103 fever, he’s still out there bowling and taxing taxis and not quarantining?”

Kelly expressed concern about how this exposes a flawed medical system that relies too much on individual honesty and people overestimating how symptomatic they are instead of underestimating it.
