Ebola Victim On The Run In West Africa Capital

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It's gone from bad (Mapping Africa's "Totally Out Of Control" Ebola Epidemic)  to worse, (Head Doctor Fighting Africa's "Out Of Control" Ebola Epidemic Contracts The Virus), to much worse (Liberian Man Tested For Ebola In World's Fourth Most Populous City), to having run out of comparaitves - although we are leery of using a superlative just yet as we have a feeling Africa's Ebola's epidemic will deteriorate before it gets better. But the latest news is bad enough: as Reuters reported moments ago, Sierra Leone officials appealed for help on Friday to trace the first known resident in the capital with Ebola whose family forcibly removed her from a Freetown hospital after testing positive for the deadly disease.

How big is Sierra Leone's capital Freetown: just around 1 million inhabitants, so yes, things are suddenly very much uncontained.

More:

Radio stations in Freetown broadcast the appeal on Friday to locate a woman who tested positive for the disease that has killed 660 people across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since an outbreak was first identified in February.

 

"Saudatu Koroma of 25 Old Railway Line, Brima Lane, Wellington," the announcement said. "She is a positive case and her being out there is a risk to all. We need the public to help us locate her."

 

Koroma, 32, a resident of the densely populated Wellington neighborhood, had been admitted to an isolation ward while blood samples were tested for the virus, Health ministry spokesman Sidi Yahya Tunis. The results came back on Thursday.

 

"The family of the patient stormed the hospital and forcefully removed her and took her away," Tunis said. "We are searching for her."

What is just as bad is that even without this latest shocking development, the death toll from the epidemic has already hit 660 according to the WHO, cited by AFP.

And now we await news out of the world's fourth largest city, Nigeria's capital Lagos, where a man collapsed at the airport and is now being tested whether he too had Ebola, and we are confused how the market is not trading at fresh all time highs following what is now a recreation of the plot of the movie Outbreak. Just consider how much GDP was created or not destroyed there.

Research in the United States at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri confirms studies that antibiotic resistant strains of pathogenic microbes cannot develop with ionic silver the way that they will with antibiotics.

 Along with having Ionic Silver/Collodial Silver on hand, Take you a good Beta-Glucan supplement.

Scholarly article on how it can be used to protect from Anthrax and being studied for immune protection against Ebola

 

Beta-Glucan is an supper immune system builder so it woks with your body.

a quote form the article but you all do your own research:

 

http://immunechoice.com/Articles/Pharma/Published%20Research/Beta%201,3-...

 These results demonstrate the potential for beta1,3-glucan immune 

modulators to provide a significant degree of protection against anthrax, a potential 

biological warfare (BW) agent in a mouse model of anthrax infection. Further studies are 

needed to optimize protection, evaluate activity in combination with other treatment 

options, demonstrate activity in a validated primate model of infection, and determine if 

protection is effective against other potential BW agents.

Silver Sulfide is a Sulfa Drug, a Natural Antibiotic. It is the Tarnish on Silver that has the antimicrobial properties.

 

That is the reason, before the advent of Stainless Steel Flatware, that it was Silver plated.

 

We may not have understood why it worked but we understood that it did work.

from the link:  Generally silver is only slightly toxic to humans, so the risk of serious harm from clinical exposure is slight.[5] Clinical use of silver or silver compounds includes the treatment of external infections or in medical appliances. Chronic ingestion or inhalation of silver preparations (especially colloidal silver) can lead to argyria in the skin and other organs. This is not life-threatening but commonly is cosmetically undesirable.”[4][5][14][15]

diversity (you know what i mean, abortion protestors are too diverse, as are those evil patriot taxed enough crowd)..them we can keep away from the children.

yep going across the globe, and demanding wide open "migration" or is it invasion? but little do most know how much pain and death and suffering "do gooders" are opening us up to..ebola anyone?

hiv in usa could have been contained with first cases in SF area, but even then the homo mafia would not allow the simple 1800's solution to outbreaks of infec disease youknow that high tech solution called: quarantine.

getting incensed against "do gooders"?

the funniest fact about our modern migration restrictions is that they are exactly one hundred years old, for most of the world

most countries had them enacted during the Great War, and then... kept them, with of course recurring changes, reforms, etc.

(two exceptions: China, where, you could only walk around if you had the correct haircut, and Japan)

quarantine? doesn't quarantine breed panic? does anybody know when quarantine was last used, except on ships flying the yellow flag?

anyway, happy birthday, migration restrictions. may you last further 100 years

ghordius, good points, maybe one should panic at the appropriate moment, it comes to mind you over in the EU will see the fruits of disease migration much quicker than other areas of the world..watch what china and japan do. some how I think you will learn that old methods for infec disease control had basic wisdom.

by the by are you a do gooder? then g-od help you.

Anyone familiar with Reston's work The Hot Zone has been expecting this sort of moment for quite some time; an outbreak of a slightly less lethal strain that reaches a major population center.  Currently it looks fatal to around 60% of victims, less than the 90% rate typically seen in previous outbreaks.  If you look at the NIH blue ribbon pannel scenario for a lab instigated outbreak of ebola, they don't even provide values for R0, the basic reproduction number, which is a measure of expected secondary infections stemming from one infection in a susceptible population.  It is likely quite high even outside an aerosol context (less than pertussis, higher than polio).  The only people who may have formally simulated such a scenario are the classified elements of USAMRIID (Army) and NBACC (HomeSec).

While everyone is wondering about the whereabouts of this woman, consider what was going on prior to and during her hospitalization.  There is an infectious vector wavefront that has been propagating this entire time; it simply hasn't been detected/measured yet.  If you've watched this latest outbreak from the beginning you will have noticed the lackadaisical response with respect to regional isolation and complete shortage of qualified personnel to handle escalating ward requirements.  It's long past time to enforce a firewall around the entire region. #prudentia

Makings of a perfect storm, yes.

I'm not as confident about your vector wavefront theory though. Lacking field observations. If the pathogen really is of lower lethality than that's important, it means some people are running around very sick for a longer time, and perhaps spreading infection even after they should have already died and been buried. Not pretty in an urban setting.

We'll see. This one is worth watching IMO. And for many years following I suspect.

for our do gooders this recent example of a just reward: "A church group from Hamilton is back home after they were attacked in Guatemala.

Seventeen people, including teenagers, from The First Congregational Church of Hamilton went to the country for about a week. On their way to Guatemala City to return home on Tuesday one of their vans was carjacked.

Senior Pastor Dorington Little said the members were assaulted and robbed. He would not reveal the extent of the assaults. Little said when the attackers left, the group was able to drive the van to safety. He said those in the van were checked out at the hospital in Guatemala."

from WHO:

Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness. People are infectious as long as their blood and secretions contain the virus.

Ebola virus was isolated from semen 61 days after onset of illness in a man who was infected in a laboratory.

The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms, is 2 to 21 days

Ebola is a lot of hype - like the flu epidemic four or five years ago (forgot the name of the variety), but the local newsreaders were hysterical if anyone checked into the ER with a mild case of what might have been the flu - never an epidemic - the Eobla hasn't killed a thousand of these Kaffirs on the whole stinking African continent. True, some obnoxious Christians might bring a case back one day, but this virus is not easily communicable.Relax.

It's 2005 all over again!  Hopfully the elbola virus won't leave Africa and desimate the rest of the world as many predictions were made back in that year.  You never know though.  Armagedin might be at hand!  Back then there was a complaint about conclusive proof of the ebola virus concerning genetic material and virus shell and shown in an electron micrograph.  Maybe that has been resolved by now.  I haven't made the effort to look further into it.

UPDATE:

the guy suspected for having ebola in lagos has died in quarantine:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/ebola-outbreak-suspected-victim-dies-in-qu...

A Liberian man suspected to have Ebola virus has died in quarantine in Lagos, Nigeria, a Nigerian official in Geneva said on Friday.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said it did not yet know the results of laboratory tests done on the man to determine whether he had the deadly virus.

The man, who collapsed on arrival at the airport in Nigeria's commercial centre, Lagos, on Thursday, was being kept in isolation by authorities and had not entered the city of 21 million people, the Nigerian official said.

"The Liberian came in and he was quarantined at the airport and not allowed to go to the city. While he was quarantined he passed away. Everyone who has had contact with him has been quarantined," he told Reuters.

So, you want the truth, patient -- well, we think you have Ebola but we are waiting for the final test results, and in the meantime, we would like to place you into the middle of a bunch of patients who we know have Ebola, and keep you strapped down to your bed until you die...

When the next pandemic, plague, or other event happens in the US, will WE be able to keep these patients quaranteened?

Sure it can. It probably has recently, hence the current outbreak. But it still has a way to go before I'd be worried about it.

What cougar said.

If there's an outbreak, it has evolved: some mutation happened that allowed it to jump human ⇒ human.

And, true, it's not quite there yet. Not ready for the zombie apocalypse.

Ebola outbreaks die out as quickly as they pop up. Probably partly because some exposed individuals develop some immunity (though there isn't a vax yet), and partly because this virus is so unstable that it simply mutates itself out of existence. Each new virus generation (every 20 minutes) has drifted a bit, and is therefore likely to be weaker, than the previous one. If it were a slightly calmer and more methodical, like say HIV, it would be much much more dangerous.

This is now no joke! It really reads like a science fiction thriller, with this guy on th loose. He could infect god knows how many people. Like I pointed out twice before in posts, all an infected person needs do is get on a plane to go to London Heathrow and step off seeking asylum. Once he gets his benefits and moves into his new apartment , he will begin to feel sick, go to the nearest National Health Service causulaty and ask to be seen. Nobody treating him will know he has ebola, all will become infected, and there you have it. Not to mention the peole he saw in the benefits office, customs, shops etc. etc.

I believe it is going to come to pass that in Africa a shoot on sight order could come down. God help you if you are sick, people will demand your death and clean up. This outbreak can make all the wars going on now look like nothing. If you ever read history, long term epidemics ALWAYS arrives when populations grow and ALWAYS kill millions. We are a century overdue for a mass deadly outbreak. The public health programs of the lsat 100 years have prevented many outbreaks, but this one seems ready to break out uncontrolled. The "Open Borders" politicians and businessmen may finally see their fantasy world of totally open borders to cheap labor and consumer growth come to an END!

Actually this is true. The host for an outbreak is now huge and ripe for any infection to take off like a forest fire feeding off the extra billions. Sadly, that is fact.

US bioweapons lab in Sierra Leone at the epicentre of Ebola outbreak

*US bioweapons lab with links to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation at core of Ebola epidemic

*CDC admits hospitals and vaccines cause Ebola

*Epidemic and pandemic plans allow for implementation of martial law

Local people in West Africa appear to know without having to read the CDC Ebola fact sheet that hospitals and medical staff are spreading Ebola. The Telegraph reports people wielding knives surrounded a Red Cross vehicle in Guinea.

The involvement of hospitals would also explain why Ebola has appeared in this part of Africa for the first time ever and in so many different locations at almost the same time.

Given that the CDC itself admits that hospitals are, in fact, the likely source of any Ebola outbreak, the question arises which specific hospital could be the origin of the current Ebola outbreak?

At the epicentre of the current Ebola epidemic is the Kenema Government Hospital in Sierra Leone, which houses a US a biosecurity level 2 bioweapons research lab with links to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Soros Foundation.

The partners and people leading the viral fever bioweapons lab inside Kenema Government Hospital read like a roll call of New World Order organizations.

“”The Consortium is a collaboration between Tulane, Scripps Research Institute, Broad Institute, Harvard University, University of California at San Diego, University of Texas Medical Branch, Autoimmune Technologies LLC, Corgenix Medical Corporation, Kenema Government Hospital (Sierra Leone), Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital (Nigeria) and various other partners in West Africa. …The Consortium intends to expand this program to include other important infectious agents such as Ebola, Marburg and other Arenaviruses that are of great concern to public health and bioterrorism,” states the bioweapons lab website.

Ebola used to hit a small isolated village in the bush, a dozen people died and then it was over. We might wonder how it hit in different places at the same time. This new outbreak is against all past experience of Ebola.

It is only a matter of time before some immigrant from Africa brings Ebola to the US, just as the Asians and Latinos are bringing diseases which we had eradicated 50 years ago.
Also they are bringing diseases UNKNOWN in this country previously.

I have lived in Kenya. I have traveled all over Africa and even worked on that horrifying west coast. A good buddy of mine just returned from Liberia Monday. If this disease makes its way into any city center in Africa, that continent will need a lethal dose of neutron radiation from orbit.

I respect the lives of all of these pitiful creatures, but know this: These savages do not live like the "civilized" peoples of Europe. Hygiene is unknown to them. I don't feel superior to them. It is just the way these creatures have lived for 10's of thousands of years. You cannot teach them something that they have no desire to know.

A colleague of mine contracted malaria in Ghana and was dead in 2 weeks. This was in 2011. An American. An intelligent westerner. It took us nearly 6 weeks to get his body out of the country because the savages that work in the hospital wanted money...lots of it....to release him. The US consulate was ZERO help. ZERO. Guess who works at the consulate? More savages.

I relate to you this story merely to show you that our influence and self-importance as westerners has no place or power in Africa. These diseases are life forms that have found a way to continue to live and they will not discern between a filthy savage or a squeaky clean American. Hell, it may even like us better as we are healthier hosts.

If it comes, go far, stay long.

1.       Labour markets – IMO they are calling for cheap labour to be brought into nations like Australia, this turns immigration policies on their head globalizing us to a new level.

“GE Mining chief executive Steve Sargent, chairman of the B20 Human Capital Taskforce, said free movement across borders of capital and labour would be an important factor in global growth. "We're seeing larger mismatches of labour supply and labour demand, requiring the ability of skills and labour to move freely across borders,"
