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

Donald Trump has a view...
Stop the EBOLA patients from entering the U.S. Treat them, at the highest level, over there. THE UNITED STATES HAS ENOUGH PROBLEMS!

El Vaq, what you are describing is done all the time. It is called passive immunity. Have you heard of getting gamma globulin? Same principle. Someone else has produced the antibodies and they are used to help you. Note, this doesn't confer any permanent immunity to the recipient and I'm not sure how effective it would be in a patient with an advanced infection. I am guessing this will be used in these cases. I am not sure how long antibody is produced in a survivor. Some are long lasting, some wane over time. Something to investigate.
Miffed;-)
I don't know how long those antibodies are produced either, but they say that the virus can be spread via a man's semen for weeks after he has quit showing symptoms.
what I heard is that the two Americans they are bringing back here did get an infusion of blood from EBV patients who survived, so they are hoping their antibodies will help. One of the donors who survived was a patient of the one doctor they are bringing back.
Appreciate hearing from a professional on this. BS compassion is the real danger. Sure, it's horrible they got sick but with Ebola is contain, contain, contain. This country is mad and it's going to pay dearly, whether from this or some other mistake.
@Miffed Microbio...: "THIS IS INSANE."
No, quite "sane". Rather, it is... TOTALLY SOCIOPATHIC. Games within games, wheels within wheels.
p.s. Suspect that having a Tantram injection with Mr. Miffed will prevent a tantrum infection. Call it the "Jimmy Buffet vaccine" (JB-2469)*, which cures all kinds of ailments. ;-)
* "Let's all get drunk and..."
Maybe to gain samples of the strain to add to their arsenal?
Of course. Now its aerosolized.
Saves Ft. Detrick a lot of work.
It far ssafer and cheaper (in the long run) to fly all the containment gear to West Africa and treat them there!
They are not even 100% sure of the way they caught it!
I'm sorry but, there is something really different about this ebola outbreak.
When doctors wearing bio suits that go through 3 decontaminations including spraying them off with bleach are getting infected with this then, this outbreak is different, in my humble opinion, at least.
I wonder how many doctors and nurses were sent pictures of their respective families, courtesy of the NSA.......you know, just in case their minds aren't right.
Maybe the hidden rulers want a depopulation event rolling through the lower social classes that happen to live in Atlanta.
Of course bioweapons break out of the target population all the time.
The USA has plenty of tiny little islands we could put these two and a mobile ICU unit / standalone hospital for ebola infected Americans.
I think they mean to let it loose. Saw this guy's video about Obama revising an executive order. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OdNrMeknEw&list=UU4SH8rh0OjYV3zwqnIfqNbA
This is the solution to Obama's "election" problem.
Never thought I'd say it but I agree w Trump. Send the US resources there if necessary. Emory trying to look like a hero just looking like a dumbass! Even if they do pull it off- DUMBASS move!
A spokesperson for the airline said they would be flown back in coach, standby, which is why the hospital does not yet know for sure when they will be arriving. It could be several days, worst case. Flights are heavily booked through Sunday.
They should be sure to cough on the grabby TSA agents while passing through security (perhaps even healthy people should...)
Cough on?? How about spew blood infused diareah on??
No worries, they are flying Malaysian Air on a 777.
pods
Do you have a MANPAD? But this may aerosolize Ebola all over an area. Hmmm, perhaps a surgical strike on a selected area and a military containment?
Miffed;-)
With CDC running things we should all be VERY concerned.
This is another corrupt and dangerous group of .gov flunkies. They would have us believe Lyme Disease is no big deal...and is easily treated with a tiny amount of doxycycline.
If the past is indicative of the future CDC will make things worse and lie about it.
Tell me all about it...
I know that from personal experience.
Royal Rife and Coordinative Resonance!
Been there...done that. ;-)
Evacuate.
Nuke from orbit.

For water flying out of my mouth all over my keyboard while reading that..I feel like a dick laughing because it is tragic but funny is funny.
Sometimes we laugh when we are overwhelmed and have zero power to deal with a situation.
That can always be taken as callous, but shitfuck, look at the world today? Anyone with kids (myself) has that awful feeling in their gut as to what the world holds for them.
My daughter was just saying how she wanted to have horses and teach riding. How do you tell a 10 year old that instead of riding horses we might be eating them?
pods
So true pods. How does one communicate in any meaningful way to children that these are the "good old days"?
idk Mrs. C. I just don't know. I try my best to show them how good they have it and help them see the good in the little things.
pods
Hopefully, the things you are doing now will help them through the turmoil that lies ahead
There are "1.426 billion cattle in the world, followed by 1.093 billion sheep, 967 million pigs, and 924 million goats."
And about 50 million horses. Yum. Apparently fermented mare's milk was a big delicacy for the Mongols. (unfermented mare's milk is apparently a laxative, so fermented it is!)
You can coexist by starting a new glue factory.
/ sarc
There are already some who would disagree with you on these days being the good'ole days. The '90s were much better than this bullshit for those who aren't in the top 10%.
Yes, but the kids weren't alive yet for most of the 90's, so that concept is largely lost upon them. I think the challenge is trying to get the younger ones to look at what they value as "good" and work that into the reality they create for themselves in the future.
Yeah, there is that. It's tough to reminisce about what you don't remember.
Of course, the 90s led to the 00s which led to where we are now.
Or using them as a primary means of transportation.
Great point! This is why I just try to love and enjoy the time I have with my children, all the while trying to explain what actually happened in history vs. the non-sense that is taught in today's classrooms.
This may garner some down votes but to each his own on their faith or beliefs, not trying to push mine on anyone but it's time's like this where I reference Psalms 91.
NoDebt, I do hope you are trying to be funny, but others may take you seriously. This is how panic spreads. On the news they showed a small jet being specially readied for the patients. It was not a regular passenger plane, that would be ludicrous and I hope no one believes that.
One has to wonder who volunteered to fly these folks back???
Yeah, because we shoud all believe the propaganda that is the "News"...
According to this source this is the aircraft doing the transporting.

Rest assured folks, if there's ever an Ebola outbreak in the USA, the federal government will tell us right away.
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/news/state-regional/worst-tb-outbreaki...
There are also several cholera outbreaks in West Africa right now just waiting to catch an all expense paid trip to the land of the free and the home of the slaves. And if the eastern front miraculously holds, there is drug resistant malaria on the western front (which does kill in large numbers)... for the pikers worried about chikungunya. Meanwhile, there is already TB and God knows what else breaching the southern lines. Perhaps some crazy Cannucks will invade from the north with brucellosis next week. It's a good thing so many Americans are already on anti-depressants, or someone might actually give shit.
Americans are too drugged up watching dancing with the stars to notice. This will be just lke the TB debacle, lots of money will be printed and a lot of jabber jabber and nothing will happen other than people keeling over with sores all over them.
The CDC is a menace. This is nothing but attention seeking and brazen arrogance in the face of nature's fury. Flights from western africa should have been stopped last week, and any person who has been to one of those countries in the last month should be denied entry. These people are idiots and are doing their best to put us all in grave danger.
Something is going to go wrong as planned. I am sure of that. But it maybe a diversion.
Remember all those FEMA caskets?
Head to Africa and offer a FREE innoculation clinic, CHECK. Infect them with the disease, CHECK (everyone konws that monkeys bite men and thats how disease starts). Get disease to migrate into america, CHECK. Wait for devastation, then collapse....... VOILA!! the collapse is no longer a political issue!!!!
"Get disease to migrate into america, CHECK. Wait for devastation, then collapse....... VOILA!! the collapse is no longer a political issue!!!!"...

CHECK!!!!
CHECK!!!!
Thanks! but I left the "check" out because it hasn't happened - yet. But I like your positive thinking!!
I want to know who made the decision to bring these diseased patients here? I want a name. This needs to be known.
It's really not fair that Ebola is confined to subsaharan Africa.This is simply an effort,by the Obama administration,to achieve fairness.
There's no hospital in DC that would take them?
No, DC has only witch doctors, so no good.
On the plus side, there is that African Summit in DC so there is hope.
The thought of Dingy Harry and Nasty Pelosi puking blood as their dying act leaves me cautiously optimistic.
How about this for a coincident?
Notification issued 8/1/14 at 6:30 AM. Today, August 1, the New York City Department of Health will be conducting an emergency preparedness drill at 30 New York City Department of Education facilities across New York City to test the delivery of emergency medications. This drill will occur from approximately 6:30 am until 3:00 pm. Supply trucks will be escorted by NYPD and other law enforcement vehicles, and volunteer staff will receive these supplies and set up medication dispensing operations inside these facilities. No medications will be distributed as part of this drill, and there should be no impact to other planned activities in these facilities. Please see the DOHMH website at www.nyc.gov/health for more information.
The Don really doesn´t get it. This is besides the humanitarian question also a great opportunity to be able to tap into serology and antibodies.Just make sure the IP rights have been secured. Big pharma may be getting a real break here. Now...if ebola also spreads to the more affluent parts of th U.S. - then it´s really pay-dirt. Now there´s a thought...

If Trump wants to keep Ebola out of the USA, it would make a lot more sense to admit some patients to some state of the art American and European hospitals, in order to examine the problem up close with all the expertise available. That's the best way to fight this thing.
Trump is declaring Trump Casino in AC an Ebola Treatment Facility so he can collect on the insurance when it is demolished as a disaster site .....He likes Larry Silverstein's Business Model
Donald Trump doing his best Larry Silverstein impression... "PUKE IT!"
AND make a buck or two. Right on bro.
Cue "THE STRAIN" Bet they dont F***k it up.
Where's that ACA lingo?
I get my Ebola shot every year so I'm not worried.
Thanks Obamacare!
customs and border protection agents are on heightened alert to watch for people with flu like symptoms.
After which they will be briefly detained, handed a bus ticket, a permiso and promptly shipped to a third world Democrat controlled hell hole near you, courtesy of the biggest chumps on the planet: The working US tax payer.
China has infra red cameras pointing at people's faces at the customs desk to see if incoming folks are running a fever. I don't remeber seeing those at U.S. airports? Maybe I just wasn't paying attention? Doesn't seem like a bad idea anymore....
it catches people who show feverish symptoms, but not those in whose bodies the EBV is festering for the up to 21-day incubation period. That's why this whole thing is so fucked.
This should expedite Obama's plan to destroy America quite significantly.
It's even got a US patent!
You have to be a total sociopath to get on a plane after being exposed to that stuff.
I think they're unconscious.
De Nile Virus?
You have to be a total sociopath to get on a plane after being exposed to that stuff.
And a "deranged psychopath" to engineer it for use in a coordinated and planned staged event using your military bases as "gates" to spread it into an epidemic!
I just knew those plastic casket liners at the FEMA Regional camps would come in handy sooner or later.
That "stuff" is the problem. These people are stuck in the Bronze Age, Ebola is just sorcery/witchcraft intended to deliver one to the white devils for execution in hospital.
Shut down air travel to West Africa, period.
As much as it scares me, Atlanta is their best chance to survive. If they were your family what would you want?
Remember how the government scared us about H1N1 flu and many rushed to demand flu shots? Some believe this is that kind of fear mongering.
We won't know til 2015 or 2016 how dangerous this, really, is to America and Americans but they're coming, regardless. I think this is the time to wish them well.
So, what you're saying is that this is the best thing for Atlanta since Sherman?
I was one of the unlucky people to get 2009H1N1. I gave it to Mr who claimed it was the worst illness he had in his life. I had to agree. What I went through had everyone so terrified I handled the flu samples that year because I was immune. We both survived.
Comparing Ebola to H1N1 is like comparing a 155mm howitzer to a cap gun.
Miffed;-)
Interesting in that it prevents cytokine (sp?) response. Nasty bit of genetic code.
It is believed that cytokine storms were what made the Spanish flu so deadly. Especially to young healthy people with strong immune systems.
My bad, you're right from what I can tell, get a lot of cytokine activity due to damaged cells & viral parts.
I have no idea what it was with H1N1 that made it as bad as it was. I just remember reading about cytokine storms after reading some speculation from a guy who said that weed had the potential to stop a cytokine storm in its tracks. That idea hasn't been tested and seems dubious to me, but if the system is overwhelmed with a strain of flu like the Spanish flu, I figure, WTF. It's probably better to go out high and not giving a shit.
Either way, I'm going to agree with Miffed that the flu sucks.
The take-away message is to get high? Seems reasonable.
This is coming from somebody who tried weed* once in his life: When you're out of all other options, why not get baked?
*To the NSA: The statute of limitations has expired. Go fuck yourselves.
Serious potential for BC medical tourism!
If the Spanish Flu is goin' round, you can bet your bottom dollar I will be having a smoke-out.
P 100 masks, gloves, and bleach. Anything else we need to have on hand?
what happened to your post 9/11 stash of duct tape and plastic sheeting?
and send trump to liberia.
Well, that should keep people from concerning themselves with what has been going on for the last 50+ years and continues to be played with at places like Fort Detrick.
The truth is what it is, if you think these people are a threat or there haven't been more serious outbreaks with deadlier pathogens that have been kept quiet, you haven't been paying attention for quite some time.
That's a big yawn.
absolutely agree.
that "this" particular "outbreak" is getting mainstream me-duh attentions only shows that it's meant to infect the sheep-minds first, fears 'n' loathing. . .
what comes next will be a *surprise*
panicked flocks, well planned.
Customs and border agents are on heightened alert for 'people with flu-like symptoms." Caugh*caugh* yea, right.
Ebola loves free jetski rides across the Rio Grande ...
I can assure you that the Rio Grande is not grande enough for a jet ski.
I beg to differ my friend.
Caught on Tape: Coyote on Jet Ski Smuggles Mother and Child into Texas
This is very, very true, at least when it isn't runoff season. Now, hovercraft on the other hand...
That would be the ferry service across Falcon Lake International Reservoir near Laredo.
On the Today show:
Park police see about a dozen jet ski jumpers a day, and about 40% are captured.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa0X-6VNKcU
Those jetski rides ain't free. The jetski rental business is highly lucrative. I'm long on Coyote Watersports.
they are PURPOSELY trying to kill us all
They're just trying to kill some of us. All the rest they consider to be acceptable collateral damage.
They still need a few of us around as slaves. When automation is more widespread, there'll be other diseases to clean us out.
You just figured that out? John P Holdren wrote a lovely book in the 70's titled 'Eco-Science'. He's a real piece of work.. thats why he's Obama's 'science czar'.
Why would they do that when they would be killing THEMSELVES?
That makes no sense - there would be NO guarantee that the Illuminati/Joos/Rothschilds/Wev would survive a high R0 kill virus.
They would die, too.
So my question is HOW are they bringing them back? Airliner full of passengers? Love Boat?
In a medical transport airplane. The patient will be in what looks like a small four by four by 12 feet clear plastic enclosure. They are bringing them one at a time because only one plastic enclosure can be fitted on the model of airplane they are using at a time. Seriously.
I hope Obama meets them personally.
No, Nero plans to remain alone on a golf course for the remainder of the burning. This is the safest place to be.
Miffed;-)
Best way to get Obama infected? Tainted blood on his golf club handles...I think he likes to fondle those in more ways than we can imagine. Right, Reggie?
This is totally irresponsible. Leave them in Africa and send the experts over there. They have no right to endanger the entire population of N America.
they want to study it and see if they can improve the virus somehow

makes you wonder...
If only you sheep knew what has been going on at military bases for the last 50+ years. Ebola is not the most lethal, tranferrable, or mutagenic pathogen in the America already. There's a reason why a building remains sealed at Fort Detrick to this day. At least one other building, that I know of, was incinerated along with all the material and people inside.
Keep living that dream dude.
At least one other building, that I know of, was incinerated along with all the material and people inside.
That sounds like it'd be an interesting read -- Got a source?
The "anthrax buildling" is well documented, unfortunately I was there for the other incident. Seems like ages ago, before I knew what I wanted to do with my life. See the world they said, learn a trade...
Personal experience is educational, for sure. Was this at Fort Detrick that this incident happened?

Hi Ori
I just called my cousin who is 30 miles outside Atlanta to give him the news of what is coming his way!
"...At this time, the CDC will not screen passengers traveling from the affected countries..."
Good call..
Well, shit, how else do you expect them to get Obamabola here?
I don't know, being out here all by my lonesome, spending weeks at a time wing no visitors, suddenly don't seem all that bad. One quick resupply run and I could be good to go for months. Just so long as the wind don't blow in the stinch of rotting carcases I should be just fine.
The rule of threes says three months without human contact. Some classic books and you're good to go so long as you're not conditioned to the tv.
The city has become intolerable, apart from seeing how absurd everything has become.
Suddenly this idea doesn't seem so far fetched.
Surrogates (2009) - IMDb
We are interested in doom scenarios here. Not from their desire, but from knowledge and front running so as not to get caught with the tide. My family was amazed at how much I already knew about what was going on. This whole thing has a different feel because it fits so many different needs for those who would like to think they are in control. "Order from Chaos" if you will. Fear, population control and just general control from killing liberty as this virus gets going globally there would be many calling for controls. I am watching this very closely and I am hoping I am wrong, but if this is proven to be airborne, I would make plans to "leave early, go far and stay long."
Except a global pandemic caused by a virus is a different ballgame. Good luck getting people to act enforce the controls if that happens.
There is no point in doing anything but keeping an eye on things at this point. Most of these things pass without incident, but eventually one will beat the odds and fuck us. There's nothing we can do about that but not be surprised if/when we come face to face to the one that spreads and take measures to protect ourselves. In the meantime, we still have to eat and breath to survive, and laughing every once in a while might be good for us.
One thing to keep in mind is that after the black death, the oligarchs in Europe lost a lot of power, even though they were the ones able to escape to the country and minimize their exposure. When it had run its course, they found that labor was to be had at a premium, and those pesky surfs had a lot of leverage. It was, in a sense, a great reset. Europe got turned off, then back on again, and after being turned back on, it was truly different.
There in lies the arrogance of this if it is in fact set upon us on purpose by people like Soros and Gates. They think they are God. Personally, I think this is just nature being nature and controlling out population; a great culling. We shall see. It's all bluster and modeling currently. I hope it blows over.
The system cannot be broken to the point that something as deadly as the black death would break it and maintain the same structures for control that existed before. The people who survive would be lucky, resourceful and used to the prospect of death. Then there is the infrastructure that is needed to control people that wouldn't be getting maintained.
Some folks may not be able to skedaddle. Or may not be so lucky. So I just want to throw some emphasis to “resourceful.” Be smart and ready. Folks needs to give their bodies (and the wife and young’uns) the best chance to repel the disease, even if infected. Reach for a handful of organic arugula instead of that Chicken McNuthin is what I mean. If your body don't have the right defensive ammo yous gonna get a misfire or worst. But that’s the deal with any disease that’s all around us every day whether it’s this Eboler or H2N5 or even cold sores. Just sayin.
A lot of folks wouldn't be able to skedaddle. We do have a lot more knowledge about how disease is spread than people did during the black death though.
Yep. And I watch the situation close like Mr. IR says but I'm not too exited about the Eboler. But when folks is start yappin about control, I start stroppin my F1 again. What ever it be for, Godspeed good sir.
"leave early, go far and stay long."
Great advice I have posted here on this subject myself....
It comes from the Ken Follett book Pillars of the Earth. I highly recommend getting the audio and listening. Great story.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Pillars-of-the-Earth/dp/B000X1MX7E
It highlights what El Vaquero said down below is that After the Plague the Monarchs weren't who they were before it. Labor came into it's own. Didn't realize that historical fact before hearing the book.
Leave Early
Go Far
Stay Long...
