911 dispatchers forbidden from saying ‘Ebola’ on the radio
911 dispatchers are being told to not use the word "Ebola" over the radio if it is suspected a patient might have contracted the deadly disease.Photo: Shutterstock City officials are so jittery about causing widespread Ebola panic that 911 dispatchers have been forbidden from dropping any “E”-bombs over the radios, The Post has learned. An FDNY memo instructs all personnel to use more vague terms when discussing the deadly disease, which is threatening to become a global pandemic. “At no point shall a dispatcher transmit over the radio any message containing the word ‘Ebola’ or related terminology,” according to the advisory, which was obtained by The Post.
