American Ebola Patients On Way To Atlanta Hospital, Customs On Heightened Alert For "Ill" Passengers

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Two American healthcare workers, described as in 'grave condition and worsening' are being infected by the Ebola virus are on their way to Atlanta's Emory University Hospital for treatment. As WSBTV reports, the hospital has a separate isolation unit set up in partnership with the CDC to treat serious infectious diseases. CDC officials have called this "the biggest and most complex Ebola outbreak in history." Sentiment across social media appears rather biased towards the negative on bringing the patients back. As we warned last night, there are significant implications should Ebola come to America. WE also note that while the CDC is not screening airline passengers, customs and border agents are on heightened alert for 'people with flu-like symptoms."

As WBSTV reports,

The hospital has a special isolation unit set up in collaboration with the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to treat patients with serious infectious diseases.

 

At least one of the two will be taken to a hospital at Emory University, near the headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, according to CNN.

 

A spokeswoman told Channel 2 Action News she did not know when the patients would arrive, but confirmed the patients are from west Africa. The Associated Press reported the patient is an American aid worker.

 

"It is physically separate from other patient areas and has unique equipment and infrastructure that provide an extraordinarily high level of clinical isolation," a spokesman said in a release.

 

Sources told CNN the two Americans being evacuated are Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol. Both are described as being in grave condition but are stable after their health worsened overnight.  Both healthcare workers have been in Liberia with the faith-based charity Samaritan's Purse.

 

The hospital said doctors, nurses and staff are trained in procedures to handle this type of patient.

 

The hospital is only one of four such facilities in the country.

 

...

 

“This is the biggest and most complex Ebola outbreak in history. Far too many lives have been lost already,” said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. “It will take many months, and it won’t be easy, but Ebola can be stopped. We know what needs to be done. CDC is surging our response, sending 50 additional disease control experts to the region in the next 30 days.”

Protection...

Airline officials were told to notify the CDC before ill passengers board a plane. The CDC will then investigate ill passengers and quarantine them if necessary. 

 

Channel 2's Dave Huddleston spoke with officials at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport who said customs and border protection agents are on heightened alert to watch for people with flu like symptoms.

 

At this time, the CDC will not screen passengers traveling from the affected countries, but will provide guidance to airlines for managing ill passengers and crew for disinfecting the aircraft.

Come on people. You all complain about the goverment and financial industry and the corruption. Here are two selfless people who sacrificed their lives to help others. The facilities in Liberia are appalling. They are american citizens. How selfish are we to say you cant come in??? Get real, get a life, and while your at it dont stop others when they are trying to save one. The US does many things wrong but when it tries to do something right, you panic  as always in your state of ignorance. Who will ever listen to you if all you ever care about is your own asses, just like those you complain about all day long.

 

Oh, and FUCK Donald Trump. What a scumbag.

If we don't have enough faith in medical professionals to keep these people secure then we're screwed either way. I'm not really worried about them...

What worries me are "healthy" people coming from Africa on flights with no checks and/or quarantine period.

And of course the border is wide-fucking-open... I'm sure at least some of these juveniles bitching about these poor Ebola patients coming back are amnesty retards.

Oh good, that means we might have more than one place in the US with Ebola.

 

"It is physically separate from other patient areas and has unique equipment and infrastructure that provide an extraordinarily high level of clinical isolation,"

Is that different from “100%, absolute and total isolation”?

Hey jackasses... listen up... most of what you buy everyday comes from offshore. You also walk by illegal aliens everyday. If this virus has mutated and become more contagious, it is coming to the USSA, regardless of how you feel about it.

If you have a problem with that, then maybe you should have been fighting harder for a less interdependent world where borders actually mattered (before now).

If there is any good people left in medicine and biology, who actually care about humanity, now is the time to get the fuck out of their way and let them do their jobs.

BTW, Trump can go fuck himself... that two-bit charlatan, financially delinquent ass-clown.

If you are going to "fundamentally change" the US, bringing in an incurable virus should move your program along . . .

I can't wait for Blacks to watch their family members dropping dead, as the White African-American president goes on playing golf, taking vacations, making speeches to brain-dead celebrities, makes plans to go totally White by retiring to a White-oligarch gated community where he will be the only person with dark skin, and ends up drunk every night (as he does now) at his endless dinner parties, aka drunken gab fests.

I wonder how they will react when they see this . . . will they keep being Black Racists and tell themselves it's the fault of White people, and not Obama, or will they finally stop lying to themselves and accept the reality that Obama just used them, and now that he doesn't need them to get elected, he is just going to let them die while the illegals get the meds and the housing?

My bet in the office pool is that the so-called leaders who are Black - Jackson, Holder, Sharpton, Wright, Winfrey, et. al - are now so White in their lifestyle that the ordinary Black will continue to buy the lie about Obama, and watch their friends and family end up in the morgue, all the while telling themselves it's all because of Whites that they are dying.

What's your bet?

Quite a post jbvtme.  I scanned it.  Seriously over my scientific understanding even though I work very close to research.  What I drew as a conclusion, if a conclusion there be, is that at 30 efforts, the trials were cancelled?  Meaning, they concluded: incurable?  In any case and whatever the case, I believe it inconceivable that they brought infected people back to the states.  This is a monumental disaster just waiting to happen.

Exactly what disaster has the government made better in the last 20? Look at the "competence" of experts at the VA. How about the "experts" at the CDC in Atlanta last month when 80 scientist were exposed to live anthrax, vials of live smallpox were lost and low-risk bird flu samples were contaminated with highly pathogenic samples of H5N1 bird flu and sent to a government lab. How many people have gotten jobs, not because of their qualifications or experience, but because they knew someone or couldn't make it in the private sector? The level of incompetence in most of our government agencies, including the military seems to get worse every year.

That's the thing: Everything you see and read about this disease says that it is only passed through direct fluid contact. And every care worker you see is totally suited out. For od's sake the head doctor there has already died.

 

So how is the disease spreading to these well-protected people? I'm sure there are accidents, but how many razor-sharp items have accidentally pierced these suits? Can anyone explain how these protected workers - some with the best protection available - are dying?

Maybe this is why they are bringing a patient or two over here - so the researchers at the CDC and Ft. Detrick can get a good look at the virus in vivo near their facilities rather than in a 3rd world country.  

PS:  http://www.nature.com/srep/2012/121115/srep00811/full/srep00811.html  

Summary:

Ebola viruses (EBOV) cause often fatal hemorrhagic fever in several species of simian primates including human. While fruit bats are considered natural reservoir, involvement of other species in EBOV transmission is unclear. In 2009, Reston-EBOV was the first EBOV detected in swine with indicated transmission to humans. In-contact transmission of Zaire-EBOV (ZEBOV) between pigs was demonstrated experimentally. Here we show ZEBOV transmission from pigs to cynomolgus macaques without direct contact. Interestingly, transmission between macaques in similar housing conditions was never observed. Piglets inoculated oro-nasally with ZEBOV were transferred to the room housing macaques in an open inaccessible cage system. All macaques became infected. Infectious virus was detected in oro-nasal swabs of piglets, and in blood, swabs, and tissues of macaques. This is the first report of experimental interspecies virus transmission, with the macaques also used as a human surrogate. Our finding may influence prevention and control measures during EBOV outbreaks.

This is how....... I found this tidbit, which goes against what they have been saying on Public Health Agency of Canada webpage

 

SURVIVAL OUTSIDE HOST: The virus can survive in liquid or dried material for a number of days (23). Infectivity is found to be stable at room temperature or at 4°C for several days, and indefinitely stable at -70°C (620). Infectivity can be preserved by lyophilisation.

 

http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php

 

So it seems that "direct contact" with the fluid of the sick, dieing, and dead is not the only way to get it.....

This is crazy. People with Ebola should be treated in Africa and prevented from traveling overseas. Reading this I can not help but think that the Hegemon want to spread the virus world wide. I read a similar article about Germany authorizing the transport of Ebola patients in Germany. Why the fuck transporting people infected with the virus? It doesn't make any sense. I am starting to believe these crazy conspiracy theories about the depopulating the planet. What a better time to do it then at the death of their monetary system... That looks like coming strait out of a bad Hollywood movie.

And I don,t care how good these 2 humanitarian workers were. The risk they now pose to the entire North American population is way too high. 2 people against 400,000,000+ (including Canada and Mexico) it doesn't make sense. It shouldn't happen. Period.

you fail to realize they put everyone at risk when they attempt to return to america. The Canadian doctor, the Texas doctors family, and now transporting sick doctors back to america.

When they went over to Africa hats off to them they wanted to help to people.

When they make an attempt to come back they are jeopardizing everyone else. That's neglect and shows they truly only care bout their well being and not everyone else on another continent miles away.

90's Agree mostly.  I just want to point out the actual patients sound pretty sick and incapacitated. The Good Samaritans, who got sick are probably not making any of these decisions to fly back and get treated in America.

If we could ask them their preference, maybe /probably, they would understand the danger they represent and refuse the transfer.?

Anyoe old enough to remember Lassa Fever? Aka viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF). It was brought to Yale University to be studied. It got loose and randomly infected people in the lab building where it was being studied.  I believe they ended up tearing the research building down to the ground.

Given this would you bring Ebola to the U.S.?

I wouldn't, but I reckon those who want an in vivo sample to weaponize probably do. I can't imagine for a moment that the Ft Detrick types aren't waiting at Emory already. Having recently watched World War Z, it seems eerily similar. But remember its memes:

1. We don't know how it started

2. We have to FIGHT this menace. All humans on Earth must FIGHT it. With some lovely scenes of medieval retribution.

3. The military and big pharma are total heroes.

When you see the sample of the suits they were wearing-- and if the "direct bodily fluids contact only" is true-- the aid workers were either monumentally sloppy. Or that the virus is spreading airborne and/or can survive in surface contact for many hrs. If that's true, then that one guy who flew back to Canada really did put his entire plane at risk, plus all the people who clean/service them.

Just to stir the pot, wonder how long it's been since the affected areas had some Bill Gates foundation free vaccinations...

One final note: can Donald Trump send his hairpiece to die in Africa? He'd be doing us all a big favor.

I always that that the rational thing was to OD them with Morphine, then burn the body.

Or is that too rational, too effective?  / Must keep primal, emotional solutions and call them "moral", right? / sarc

p.s. Note that the place you really want them treated is in a freezing environment, as it stays alive at as low as +4C.  If this sucker struck a home in the snow-belt, I'd make sure that the inside temp of a house equals the freezing outside temp.  A lot cheaper, fast, DIY solution to all the sprays, gear, delays and costs. 

pps. And that's also part of the reason why I would want to live in a region that has real winters (extended freezing temps), to kill germs, viruses and tropical creepy crawlies.  The sun belt has always made me leery of these things -- more so than illegal aliens.  Besides, I'm more worried about the aliens in DC and NY (Cling-ons) than in TX or CA.

It does not matter Miffed.

 

Jon Rappaport is telling his readers that it is a propaganda ploy.

 

People are going to believe what they will believe. To hell with the facts.

 

The problem is that the MSM and Government Agencies have lost so much credibility that many will not listen even if they are told what is factual.

 

It seems that "Wolf" has been cried far too often.

 

Can it really be a False Flag being used to distract the masses from the oncoming Financial Collapse? From the oncoming World War III? From the oncoming crises?

 

At times I think that I am just spinning my wheels here. I probably am.

 

So if it is true then the numbers of dead will grow until it can no longer be denied. Of course it will be far too late IF that happens. Or IF it does not happen then the fear will be instilled so that the Government can blame the bad news on "the scare".

 

Who knows what to believe anymore?

 

IF it happens then our Human Race deserves to die in their delusion.

 

If it does not then they deserve their enslavement by the oppressive Governments whom use the propaganda machines which affect.

 

At least if it is true then most of the psychopaths will perish as Ebola does not discriminate. The rest of those parasites will be easy to identify post collapse of civilization. Then they will be dealt with accordingly.

 

Did you read that one post by y2maxx that he received his Ebola shot??? LMAO. He deserves death. Why bother with this deluded crowd any longer? You and I both know that there is no vaccine. But he spews the lie with delight.

 

That is great.

 

Let them win and you take prudent precaution. You are worthwhile. They are not anywhere near as worthy as you.

The real issue is knowledge. 

1. The biggest problem with Ebola is it will become a sexual transmitted disease.  Since men or women who have overcome the virus still are vectorial spreaders months after they get better - the sex industry is vectoring it in Africa now.  And this will most likely be the mechanism by which it jumps borders, and breaks outside of it's containment fields.

2. Selenium can reduce mortality rates dramatically. The chinese proved this:
'During the revisions to the final draft of that paper, we learned of a 1993 paper in a Chinese journal that reported the use of selenium to treat an Ebola-like hemorrhagic fever, with remarkable results. Luckily, the English translation of the
abstract was available. Using the very high oral dose of 2 mg selenium per day as sodium selenite, for only 9 days, the death rate fell from 100% (untreated) to 37% (treated) in the very severe cases, and from 22% to zero in the less severe cases. Apparently there were about 80 people involved in this outbreak. Dr. Hou of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, the author of this study, has since told me that he thinks more lives could have been saved if he had been permitted to give the selenite by injection, because in many of the more severly affected there is so much organ damage due to internal bleeding that they may have been unable to fully absorb or retain the oral dose of selenium. All in all, this is the closest thing to a curative result in the treatment of hemorrhagic fever that I have ever heard of.'

http://www.whale.to/m/selenium.html

3. Collodial silver at 10ppm is also being reported to be 100% effective against this however this is anecdotal at this time.

4. Anyone who has survived their blood will become a life serum to anyone that is infected and will take it.

Pass this information on - knowledge is power!

Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans. EVD outbreaks have a case fatality rate of up to 90%.

Ebola spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids. Burial ceremonies in which mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased person can also play a role in the transmission of Ebola. Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness.

Sick people should not share semen... there I said it.

“a published study from 2012, which does indicate that contrary to what is being told to the populace, over and over and over again by the MSM that Ebola can only be contracted through “physical contact with bodily fluids,” there is evidence, via the study, that in some cases Ebola is, indeed, of being transmitted by air, meaning the virus is airborne.”

Just more chances for the virus to spread to somebody else, which means more chances for the virus to mutate into something else.

 

What I don't get is that in a previous outbreak, after a few people had survived, doctors took some of their blood plasma and gave it to people who were already showing symptoms, and the mortality rate in those people went way down.  Aside from screening for some of the freaky diseases in Africa, I don't see why this isn't followed up on.  It wasn't done on a wide enough scale to be conclusive, but it showed promise.  Or maybe it is being followed up on?

Here, this would be a stretch. We get a few hundred thousand to catch the disease and big pharma treats it. Then .gov steps in and says that the treatment has to come from a chip implant in your asscheek. The treatment is ridiculously expensive however so the TBTF banks contribute heavily to the cause, with one provision. The chip implant now serves as a debit/credit card as well. So when you go to the supermarket they can scan your ass for ebola and you can debit your purchase at the same time. Also you can turn around while driving and stick your ass out the window and it can be an ezpass as well. There is a little work to do on the ezpass side of things but it will be worked out in time.
