Andrew Cuomo Announces Random Ebola Drills On New York Subway
If you're planning to ride the New York subway in the next few days, you may get more than you bargained for.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced Thursday that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will begin carrying out random Ebola-response drills across the train system.
"We'll run drills where someone is on a New York City subway train, and that person becomes ill under circumstances one might think that person might be an Ebola candidate," Cuomo told press at a news briefing. "How do you handle the case from the New York City subway system to an ambulance to the right hospital? Those practical drills are going to be what we're moving to, on an unannounced basis."
(it's great they're doing drills, but....let's hope they have lots of "it's only a test" signs around)
