#' Survey on Ebola quarantine
#'
#' In New York City on October 23rd, 2014, a doctor who had recently been
#' treating Ebola patients in Guinea went to the hospital with a slight fever
#' and was subsequently diagnosed with Ebola. Soon thereafter, an NBC 4 New
#' York/The Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll asked New Yorkers whether they
#' favored a "mandatory 21-day quarantine for anyone who has come in contact
#' with an Ebola patient". This poll included responses of 1,042 New York
#' adults between October 26th and 28th, 2014.
