NY1 Inside City Hall host Errol Louis talked to viewers Thursday about "methods" of Ebola transmission.

The virus is not airborne and can be transmitted through bodily fluids while someone is infected.

The first New Yorker, Craig Spencer, tested positive for Ebola on Thursday. Spencer is a New York emergency physician who recently worked with Doctors Without Borders treating patients in West Africa.

As New Yorkers deal with the first case, the anchor said, "If you came across some strange mucus or feces or something out there on the street, on the subway, or anywhere else, don't eat it. Don't let it get into your body, don't touch it."

Louis explained that New Yorkers were "rational adults." But some New Yorkers and their ilk being a sarcastic bunch, took to Twitter to poke fun at Louis' comments.
