911 emergency dispatchers in New York have been instructed not to use the work ‘Ebola’ over the radio. According to the New York Post, officials made the decision in an effort to minimize fear and panic since the radio channels are often monitored by civilians and the media. The Post reports that dispatchers have been instructed to use the code ‘F/T’ when discussing callers that have a fever and have a history of travel to West Africa.
I can see the reason why but in this case the truth is far more important and safer. Nothing like lying our way into an ebola epidemic. Scanner listeners, you know what to look for now though…
