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.

Yes, Dick gets a whole bunch of money from Monsanto (the world's most evil company) as well. He has sponsored several bills on their behalf. There are some who have claimed that Monsanto had a hand in the development of the Ebola visus.

But think about two things:

1. In order for vaccines to be considered effective they only have to work for 30% of the population. If the people behind ebola created a vaccine for themselves then maybe 70% of them will die of the disease.

2. The people who know about gross evil acts tend to get killed to keep them quiet.

So, Dick is defending bringing a deadly disease to the US. Normally only an insane person would do something like that. The only explanations is that that he fears something else more OR some other emotion, such as greed, is over-riding common sense.

Oh gee gosh, what a great opportunity to study the virus and how it spreads ...

The people doing it are either the most stupid and ignorant people possible or the are doing it to give a plausable explanation for how it jumps to the US.

This Ebola situation is simply another on a long list of examples of corporate power and the loyalty of their paid stooges in government.

In this case it's religious corporatism and those politicians that pander to this branch of corporatism. Samaritan's Purse is headed by Franklin Graham the son of the great Billy Graham himself. The very same Billy Graham that after teaching his flock for at least 50 years that Mormonism is a cult craw fished and endorsed a Mormon for President because that Mormon agreed to protect Graham's religious corporation.

Ask yourself, does Samaritan's Purse really have to go all the way to west Africa to find people who need free health care? Do you not think there are people in eastern Kentucky, Detroit, or about any other place in the USA you can name that needs free health care? So, if the goal of this type of corporation is to help people why do they skip over millions here in the USA that need help to get to those in West Africa? It's simple, treating Ebola victims in Africa garners larger headlines than taking some cracker's appendix out. Larger headlines brings in larger donations.

Samaritan's Purse is putting pressure on their government stooges to let them bring the two doctors back into the USA because if they leave those two in Africa to die a terrible death then half of their scam/business model will be hindered. Without free labor their margin will be greatly reduced.

Once again it's about the money and as a wise man once said, it's a big club and you aint in it, they don't care about you. Corporations like Samaritan's purse not only refuse to help the people who are their income stream, they are more than willing to expose those same folks to a deadly virus just to keep the wheels from falling off the money train.

Hack, I believe there is more to it than what you describe. Call me nuts, i don't care, but, I believe this is part one of the culling of the herd. Get a major life threatening pandemic going and take all your liberty's away. Blame it for the upcoming economic collapse that has been in the making for years and switch over to global governance. Oh, by the way, do you have your mark in your right hand or in your forehead? If not, no food for you.

As time goes on, this will become more real than you imagine.

Isaiah 9:10.  The judgements will keep coming until America turns back to God.  Look at it this way, if you thought that if America did in fact turn away from its sinful ways and did in fact turn back to God and everything would return to a peaceful, prosperous way of life, would you turn back to God?  Well, would you?  Choices, my brothers.  Choices.  Make the right ones, at least for yourselves and your children.

you raise good points Hacksaw,

Ask yourself, does Samaritan's Purse really have to go all the way to west Africa to find people who need free health care?

similar to the Mormon Missionary program of shipping of their young men (usually, though lately oldsters & women are used too) around the world for a 2-year service to their lords, converting future tithe-payers to the tax-exempt coffers of a "church" steeped in Freemasonry,

mirroring the "founders" like George "cherry tree" Washington. . .

there are parallels occuring, as anyone who's done the research knows. .  Mitt-ney waits in the wings. . .

During an epidemic, it's possible that people will be too sick or too scared to go to work. If that happens...

Grocery stores will run out of food

Utilities will shut down

Stores of all kinds will shutter.

And I'm sure there are many things I did not mention. All services will go down. But that's the worst case.

Airlines. grocery stores, elevators will be avoided, trains, airplanes, busses, movie theaters, offices where sick people sit.

Funneral directors will be fearful and have to take very special precautions. Quick funnerals.

Massive demand for cremation. 

Think of the middle ages  Black plague resurrection.

With a 90% death rate it wipe out nearly all the growth. 

So many empty homes and apartments. Like a neutron bomb went off where the buildings are there but people are dead.

Black death was good for the peasantry.

That survived.  You were much less likely to be randomly slaughtered afterwards.  Your labor was valuable.

You could still be enslaved, though...  My favorite story on that regard is Aristotele Fioravanti.  He was an architect, designer of fortifications.  He went to Russia 'by invitation' and when he asked to return to Italy was told "Thats not happening."

If Ebola does get loose in America, it will take care of our immigrant alien Latino density problem like wildfire, those people live in such high densities that they can't flush toilet paper down the toilet on account of the water expense as well as clogging (they have trashcans in the bathroom for used TP). 

I can't imagine a better environment for Ebola proliferation than US immigrant housing, which is far denser than the African bush BTW.

"She told a summit of regional leaders that failure to contain Ebola could be "catastrophic" in terms of lives lost."

It will crater the economy more than any housing bubble.

It could already be in the US. Obama and the libtard media could be keeping quiet about it.

Once it's noticed on mainstreet USA it will shut down businesses. Airlines will instantly loose the majority of business. Anywhere it can spread through contact will die as well.

I'll go out on a limb and predict the US will not suffer an ebola outbreak via transmission directly from Africa, but rather via Mexico through our unsecured border.

How it gets into Mexico I won't hazard to guess.

OK folks, I haven't done a "Big One" in a while. But I finished up something I have been working on for two months.

I have summarized all the data on Global "Warming" using real temperature data from all over the world, for every month, from 1880 until 2013.

Seriously. And charted them and ran statistics on them. It was kind of a pain. But I thought it important, and the only way to get through the rhetoric on both sides was to get real DATA.

Bottom line….there is no Global Warming. We have been level for 17 years. Check it out. If you want the spreadsheet now, email me, I will later add it as a download in Excel.
