The family of New York Ebola victim Dr Craig Spencer came to his defense on Friday after he was criticized for failing to quarantine himself on his return from West Africa.
'As far as I'm concerned he did nothing wrong,' his uncle, Arnie Spencer told MailOnline. 'I'm angry that he is getting trashed.'
Dr Spencer, 33, has been slammed for going bowling in Brooklyn, taking subways and a taxi, walking on Manhattan's High Line and going to restaurants even though he was feeling sluggish - around a week after arriving back in the U.S. from Guinea where he treated Ebola patients.
Arnie Spencer said that his nephew's detractors are being unfair.
'I don't like what's being said at all,' he said at his home in Royal Oak, Michigan.
