Ebola in NYC: People respond to the news on Twitter as only New Yorkers would

Another day, another scary Ebola headline.

The news that New York has its first case of Ebola hit the night of Oct. 24, and most of the Interwebs promptly freaked out. Soon, reports of where Ebola patient Craig Spencer had traveled in the city while under "self-quarantine," debates on whether or not you can catch the virus on the subway and discussions on how a city of more than eight million people will try to contain the disease flooded our newsfeeds.

But as most of the country got out their HazMat suits, New Yorkers were a little bit more blasé and had a sense of humor about the whole thing, at least on Twitter. Nothing fazes New Yorkers, not even the threat of a deadly viral outbreak.
