Can we get an explanation as to why a car has been parked 24x7 for over a week here, idling all day? Does this have something to do with an Ebola quarantine?

What's the car number ? License plate # ? Officers name ? Don't blame you for not wanting to get too close , the cop might be asleep and would get upset if disturbed.
Any construction going on ? Could b an OT issue

Yes, it's due to ebola surveillance and quarantine

I know of no visit by NHPD to the Wooster Sq neighborhood regarding this, nor any letter to residents. i'm confident i am safe here and have no worries about ebola, but when the officials tell reporters anything they think sounds good -- and this happens a lot -- it is really annoying.

"Harp said local police visited neighborhoods near Edwards Street and Wooster Square Friday to alert residents that there were individuals in their neighborhood under monitoring and to distribute a letter from Harp “that we are on top of it, and that they are safe,” Harp said."

The cars have been gone a few weeks. Let's close this.
