First Ever Ebola Case On US Soil As Patient Lands In Atlanta; CDC Urges Calm - Live Feed
A plane carrying Dr. Kent Brantly, the American doctor who contracted Ebola while treating patients in West Africa, landed at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta, Georgia, at around 11am this morning - the first ever case of Ebola on US soil. He is being escorted to Emory Hospital under police escort. His colleague Nancy Writebol will arrive later on a separate flight as the planes are equipped to deal with one quarantined patient at a time. As ABC reports, both are listed in "serious but stable condition." The CDC's director explained the infected patients pose little risk to others, adding "these are American citizens. American citizens have a right of return. I certainly hope people’s fear doesn’t trump their compassion." What is perhaps raising that fear among Americans (and frankly the world after yesterday's WHO warning of "high risks of spread to other countries") is the fact that, as Reuters reports, more than 100 health workers fighting Ebola have contracted it themselves.

As ABC reports, this is the first time the Emory Hospital unit will house patients who are truly infected with a dangerous disease.
Samaritan's Purse confirmed that Dr. Kent Brantly was the first American patient to be evacuated from Liberia aboard a private air ambulance. The flight landed about 11 a.m. Saturday.
Brantly and Nancy Writebol, an aid worker, will be treated at a specialized unit at Emory University in Atlanta.
Both Brantly and Writebol are listed in "serious but stable condition," according to Samaritan's Purse, the aid group Brantly for which worked. Writebol is expected to arrive in the U.S. early next week.
Brantly and Writebol worked at a hospital in Liberia. He's the first patient infected with Ebola to be on U.S. soil.
The NY Times explains the treatment...
“The reason we are bringing these patients back to our facility is because we feel they deserve to have the highest level of care offered for their treatment,” Dr. Bruce S. Ribner, an infectious disease specialist at Emory who will be involved in their care, said at a Friday afternoon news conference.
...
“We depend on the body’s defenses to control the virus,” he said. “We just have to keep the patient alive long enough in order for the body to control this infection.”
And precautions...
“From the time the air ambulance arrives in the metropolitan Atlanta area, up to and including being hospitalized at Emory University Hospital, we have taken every precaution that we know and that our colleagues at the C.D.C. know to ensure that there is no spread of this virus pathogen,” he said.
But fear remains...
The director of the disease centers, Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, agreed that the patients posed little risk to others. And he added: “These are American citizens. American citizens have a right of return. I certainly hope people’s fear doesn’t trump their compassion.”
And perhaps rightly so as Reuters reports up to 100 health workers have been infected while treating Ebola patients... As The American Dream's Michael Snyder notes, something is different this time...
This is the worst Ebola outbreak in recorded history, and this particular strain appears to be spreading much more easily than others have. So far, 1,323 people have been infected in the nations of Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. Of those 1,323 victims, a whopping 729 of them have died. But a number that is even more alarming was buried in the middle of a Reuters report on Friday. According to Reuters, “more than 100 health workers” that have been fighting Ebola in Africa have contracted the virus themselves. Considering the extraordinary measures that these health workers take to keep from getting the disease, that is quite chilling. We are not just talking about one or two “accidents”. We are talking about more than 100 of them getting sick. If Ebola is spreading this easily among medical professionals in biohazard body suits that keep any air from touching the skin, what chance are the rest of us going to have if this virus gets out into the general population?
In case you are tempted to think that this could not be possible and that I am just exaggerating, here is the relevant part of the Reuters article that I was talking about…
More than 100 health workers have been infected by the viral disease, which has no known cure, including two American medics working for charity Samaritan’s Purse. More than half of those have died, among them Sierra Leone’s leading doctor in the fight against Ebola, Sheik Umar Khan, a national hero.
This has the potential to be the greatest health crisis of our lifetimes.
But don’t just take my word for it. The following is what the head of the World Health Organization, Dr. Margaret Chan, just told the press about the disease…
“If the situation continues to deteriorate, the consequences can be catastrophic in terms of lost lives but also severe socio-economic disruption and a high risk of spread to other countries.”
That certainly doesn’t sound good.
Remember, there is no vaccine for Ebola and there is no cure.
Most of the people that get it end up dying.
And right now even our most extreme containment procedures are failing to keep health workers from contracting the disease.
I put the following quote in an article the other day, but I think that it is worth repeating. The health professionals that are on the front lines of the Ebola fight in Africa are going to extraordinary lengths to keep from getting the virus…
To minimise the risk of infection they have to wear thick rubber boots that come up to their knees, an impermeable body suit, gloves, a face mask, a hood and goggles to ensure no air at all can touch their skin.
Dr Spencer, 27, and her colleagues lose up to five litres of sweat during a shift treating victims and have to spend two hours rehydrating afterwards.
They are only allowed to work for between four and six weeks in the field because the conditions are so gruelling.
At their camp they go through multiple decontaminations which includes spraying chlorine on their shoes.
But those precautions are not working.
More than 100 of them have already gotten sick.
So why is this happening?
Nobody seems to know.
Like I said, something is different this time.
A top Liberian health official has already stated that this outbreak is “above the control of the national government” and that it could easily develop into a “global pandemic”.
It is absolutely imperative that this disease be contained until experts can figure out why it seems to be spreading so much more easily than before.
But instead, health officials are beginning to ship Ebola patients all over the planet.
In fact, two American health workers that have contracted Ebola are being shipped to a hospital in Atlanta…
Two American medical missionaries diagnosed with the deadly Ebola virus in Liberia could be back in the USA next week for treatment at a special medical isolation unit at Atlanta’s Emory University Hospital, the U.S. State Department said Friday.
The State Department did not name the two individuals, saying only that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was facilitating their transfer on a non-commercial flight and would “maintain strict isolation upon arrival in the United States.”
One is to arrive Monday in a small jet outfitted with a special, portable tent designed for transporting patients with highly infectious diseases. The second is to arrive a few days later, said doctors at Atlanta’s Emory University Hospital, where they will be treated.
Could this potentially spread the virus to our shores?
I am sure that they are taking as many precautions as they can.
However, even if those patients do not spread the disease to this country, the reality of the matter is that it will always be just a plane ride away. All it takes is for one person carrying the virus to get on one plane.
And if Ebola does start spreading in the United States, it could change life in this nation almost overnight.
We could very easily see forced quarantines and draconian restrictions on travel. For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled “This Is What Could Happen If Ebola Comes To The United States“.

Finally, since every crisis and tragedy has an opportunistic silver lining, and "can't be put to waste," those who prefer to see the Ebola epidemic as opening avenues of profitability are encouraged to read the following article on a Canadian company which just may be the next CYNK, especially if the Ebola crisis does indeed spread away from "only" Africa.

Several hundred from Africa converging on Springfield, Mo. Assembly of God centennial
http://www.ky3.com/news/local/ozarks-students-headed-to-africa-africans-...
"I think that the risk in Springfield is minimal," says Kendra Findley, Administrator of Community Health and Epidemiology. "It's not easily spread person to person. Again, it has to be direct contact. You're not infectious until you have symptoms."
You're not infectious until you have symptoms."
At which point you are.
Scenario:
Man with fever collapses on bus, in church, restaurant, greyhound station.... whatever.
Who's going to be first to spring to his assistance?
You?
Ebole outbreak comes to the US in 3, 2, 1...
It's time to change Hopey's knick name to Ebola. What an effing fool, or it's part of the bigger plan. Maybe it's part of the zioqueer plan to genocide the Palestinians while this Ebola thing goes parabolic. Nothing worse than combining epic evil with government incompetence.
Someone already mentioned Ebolabama. I think that one is going to stick.
And where are Bill and Melinda Gates?
Where is Bill Gates? A good guess would be hold up a the doomsday seed vault. Norway has the potential to place one half of their population underground in case of emergency with the other half left above to fend for themselves in case of nuclear war or polar shift due to the incoming second sun. Anyone around here that doesn't have their ticket to underground Denver is probably in a heap of trouble.
http://snippits-and-slappits.blogspot.com/2011/12/doomsday-seed-vault-in...
We should build a big ice wall to contain it.
I've also sworn off eating bats till this blows over.
From the photos I saw of Brantley in Africa, their "bio-hazard" suits looked like they were DIY: duct-tape on the side of the face holding pieces of cloth down, and so on. Take a closer look. http://news.yahoo.com/u-peace-corps-says-withdrawing-volunteers-due-ebol... Say invisible droplets from a patient land on that duct tape. How does the doctor remove the duct tape (and other material) when he's done for the day, after sweating buckets in that climate? Is there a chemical shower to clean off his DIY biohazard suit? No.
People need to calm down. This isn't a big deal. You aren't at risk of getting Ebola - you DON'T live in a west-African backwater and your chances of contracting it are the slightest of margins of error above ZERO. Quit being conspiracy theorists. I say this now, because two months from now when this whole scare is long gone, none of you are going to admit just how much of a tizzy you were all worked up into.
"You aren't at risk of getting Ebola"
You have absolutely no way of knowing this, in fact your remarks are far more irresponsible than anyone discussing conspiracy theories.
What's your deal anyway? You out to educate the tinfoil crowd? Using what? Your vast rhetorical skills?
Good luck with that.
Carrying water for the Federal government, I see. Are you paid, or merely a volunteer?
This isn't going to spread anywhere in America. Switch gloom and doom into "off" mode, folks. Two months from now no one will be talking about this.
we will find out in 2-21 days....vv is not freaked out, just not feeling good about Ebola right down the street.
Like I said, we will find out soon.
Darteaus:
I'm with you, dead do not talk.
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
That might be bc a ton of people being dead and all but your analysis could be correct I guess
one word: AIRBORNE
How quickly we forget....
"Anthrax, Bird Flu Safety Breaches Shut Down CDC Lab"
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-07-11/anthrax-bird-flu-safety-breache...
Zero confidence.
They think birds can carry ebola also.
Seeing as it is airborne, how will the clean out the ducts in the plane that flew it in or the air conditioner of the vehicle that brought them to the hospital? The answer is they won't. Who is going to ride in that vehicle now?
Just keep the patient away from a Taco-Bell, atleast 20 Miles away from any burritos.
Special soon on Ebola Bell Grandes.
The Al Qaeda cleanup crew in Atlanta will ensure that all infected materials will be handled properly.
The non-English speaking illiterate illegal immigrant clean up crew.
This seems like a really bad idea. I think that if you go to Africa you should be willing to accept possible death from a horrible disease. You do not get to come back to America so you can infect everyone else - game over! If the "gubment" is in charge of this operation I feel certain that it will end in disaster!
Lol that's convenient enough for people who don't have responsibilities and, um, jobs that take them to different places on the globe. Africa really isn't that dangerous.
"Africa really isn't that dangerous."
...said this week's winner of the Broken Record Award.
Just keep teiilng yourself that, or better yet, go there and report back on how safe it is.
You know.... as a public service.
I mean, that's your main purpose here right? That we all be as well informed as you?

A virus invented by people espousing population reduction, that is now spreading in Africa brought to a city that is predominatly African American. Why would people in Atlanta be the slightest bit nervous? Especially when you factor in they are also in the vicinity of the Georgia guidestones.

It is zombie time!
Obama science czar John Holdren says forced abortions and mass sterilization are what is needed to save the planet and we don’t have much time. A transnational “Planetary Regime” should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of American’s lives using an armed international police force!
In this thread: try to tell people they're not going to contract EBOLA and you're downvoted. The idiot/doom brigade is in full force today.
Don't be all butt-hurt, eat some prunes. You will feel much better.
I reckon the odds of my catching Ebola are about the same as the odds of you shutting the fuck up.
For a little perspective, firstly Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria -- not exactly known for their public health or sanitation infrastructures -- have suffered a combined number of 1323 Ebola cases and 730 deaths in 2014. These four countries have a combined population of 77 million.
Secondly, of Ebola outbreaks going back to 1976, mostly in Africa -- a CONTINENT not known for its public health or sanitation infrastructures -- there have been 2328 Ebola deaths. The population of Africa is 1.1 billion.
BTW, how many Americans have been killed in road accidents so far this year? Are we up to 20,000 yet?
So by all means, it's time to set our hair on fire and run around screaming bloody murder about Ebola. Or on the other hand, we could avoid the kind of irrational paranoia that plays right into the hands of our would-be overlords. Duh...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola
For Your own distorted perspective, if any at all, auto accidents are not virally contagious. Why not insert a stat about how many die in hot air balloon crashes? Or planes? Dirigibles? Accidentally set off firearms, crossbows, and b-b guns?
It's not playing in to anyone's hands to raise concerns about handling the disease "in country", not export it fer krissakes.
Is the CDC too lazy to get off their fat asses and go to Africa to contain it?? Would they miss their evening meal, a ball game?
IF the CDC had a perfect record that would be one thing that mitigates the risk, but they don't and it doesn't.
Going to Africa might be a good idea. But you see, the CDC has this isolation unit at Emory Hospital in Atlanta, of which there are four in the U.S., which has been used exactly ONE TIME since it was constructed -- for however many untold millions of dollars -- in 2005 for ONE (count 'em, ONE) SARS patient.
That's why they want to treat the U.S. patients here. So finally, all the high-priced doctors, nurses and medical technicians can use the high-dollar protocols that they've been training in for the twelve years of the unit's existence, and help justify that existence by all the press coverage.
But the helluvit is, unlike SARS which is airborne, Ebola doesn't need any more stringent protocols than those that are already in place for HIV/AIDS in every hospital around the world including Africa.
IOW what we're witnessing is another fucking US GOVERNMENT BOONDOGGLE, just like all the rest, FEEDING off the HYSTERIA of IGNORAMOUSES.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Or more precisely, if the BSL4 lab at to do any analysis is at the CDC campus (across at least 1 street and several fences) why would they build an isolation unit over at Emory University?
Is there some secret (and hopefully secured) tunnel connecting the two facilities? Or was the chicken actually crossing the road to deliver the SARS samples to the lab?
what he said...
More amerikans die from the honey bee than terrorists. But the government set up a billion dollar agency to protect us from it. Homeland Security. I panic when the government overreacts. Here comes more protections!
You need to calm down ....
It's the dumbest thing I've heard.
Tell that to those people who died in the Spanish flu or the Black Death.
Were probably very quiet when we were pro bag.
hehe.
I know I will die but I want to watch some sons of bitches go before me to give a little laugh.
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
Polio can be added to your list.
The only reason I can think of for bringing these folks to the US, is to establish plausible deniability.
While the Ebola Bio-weapon is released from the Government Bio-weapons Lab.
It's the distraction from Gaza, Ukraine, the banking cartel, imploding economy, endless fraud and the fact that unelected officials are making decisions no one is happy about along with the fear of contracting this illness. They hit the lotto with Ebola. We are shaking in fear, just as they like us, and now ~our~ survival is all that matters. This popsicle stand in the inept people who run it is going to collapse eventually. It is just a matter of time. A person is no more vulnerable when ill; sick people don't put up much resistance.
Just another 'fear and distract psyop?
http://www.absolute-data-exchange.com/syndicated-feeds/removing-the-shac...
How about providing the distraction for failed Obamacare? Or failed border security? Or failed foreign policy initiatives, all of them? Or..on and on...
Rahm said never let a good crisis go to waste. And of course, if you lack an appropriate crisis, you can make one.
There will be a large demand over the next 6-9 months for a rapid Ebola test. There is only one company in the world who has developed a 15 minute prototype. Its similar to a pregnancy test. The US NIH just gave them $3 million to accelerate the development. Prototypes were sent to Sierra Leone. This video shows how the test works.

I really, truly hope all of you who genuinely believe Ebola is coming to devastate America will be just as vocal about how wrong you all were when America is still Ebola-free six months later. Just saying is all.

So you won't be participating in the fever pool, then?

Hey "darteaus" they had no right to do this, so fuck you.
Detrius likes to correct people who are wrong on the internet.
it's a tough job, but someone's' gotta do it.
As of now, the US is not Ebola free. The doctor quarantined at Emory hospital is the first. Not the last.
Listen to your grandma.
This makes absolutely no logical sense in any way, shape or form. Import a lethal virus to the NYC of the south.
Medical quarantines are not inhumane. They are used all the time. Send the treatment there, not import the patient here. It's pubic health 101.
What this does sound like is basically an experiment to see if this can be done, i.e. transport, cure, etc. without having an outbreak.
Another fine example of our government using society as guinea pigs.
Truly there is a madman at the helm.
Please do not worry.
Would you feel comfortable inviting a serial-killer into your home?...
Maybe the ebola will take out the CDC.
Change we can believe in.
Let's hope...
If you only watch one recent video on why Ebola won't be stopped, this is it. Unbelievable.

Apparently this crap virus evolved and is transmitted through the air.
Only this explains a woman who takes care of the stock and has no contact with infected if contaminated.
Unlike politicians, the virus evolves.
Each year new strains appear each year flu vaccine is launched.
Just trust in God and in my judgment to such a fucking face.
In this case, something tells me to do preparations, rely heavily on my insight.
They always tell you what the plan is, this book came out in 1977.

https://s2.wp.com/wp-content/themes/pub/contempt/images/blue_flower/topg...);"> George Soros, his Ebola bioweapons lab and the death of WHO spokesperson Glenn Thomas in the UkraineSome dots for you to connect:
*George Soros’s foundation funds the Kenema bioweapons lab at the focus of the Ebola outbreak, and which is about to be closed, apparently amid an investigation.
* WHO media coordinator Glenn Thomas was highly likely involved in fielding media and other inquries about how WHO view and what it planned to do about the controversial Kenema lab.
Was Glenn Thomas aware of hard evidence showing that the lab was faking positive diagnoses for Ebola — Tulane University? — in order to justify forcing people to undergo treatment which would give them Ebola? Did he refuse to go along with the cover up?
*The mainstream media is silent about the Kenema bioweapons lab closure as well as about the order to Tulane University to stop Ebola testing. So, what other channels are there left for this information to enter the public domain or be spread through social media networks if WHO does not release the information or take action?
*George Soros has links to Sierra Leone President Ernest Koroma
Interesting is the complete silence of the mainstream media on the closure of the Kenema lab posted on the Sierra Leone Ministery of Health facebook site.
If the media really were a free press, interested in investigating scandals in the public interest and in reporting facts as the so called “fourth estate”, this story about the Kenema lab closure would be front page news around the globe just as the story of Baxter contaminating 72 kilos of seasonal flu in its biosecurity level 3 lab and sending it to four countries in 2009 should have been front page news.
It is the total media blackout and silence which red flags the key, global stories. The key story of 21st century is that we have entered an era of biological warfare. The main warfare is not conducted between nations but between the elite and the people of the globe using also vaccines, weaponized viruses and mass deception.

The US gov is broke, this is underhand way of going 'Ooops, sorry' and kill off a lot of poor people who can't afford health care
Yes. But have no worries. It will infect them also.
And afterwards you can kill off Government workers whom survived...if you survive. Some of us will have immunity.
I really hope that I am one who does not because I do not want to inherit the destruction. All infrastructure will be destroyed. There will be no Power Grid. Food will become scarce...fast.
A Nationwide pandemic that wipes out 50% to 90% of the population will leave ruins in its wake.
The secondary affects will prove out to be as deadly as the primary infection.
Personally I like the comforts of affluence.
But there are ecologists that want the Human Race to be annihilated off of the surface of the Planet to save the ecosystem. They want to save the World as their hatred for Humanity knows no bounds.
One of these is sitting in the White House.
My uncle, Budgie Twitters, sometime bon vivant, world traveler, professional cynic with proof, a recovering ethylene glycol addict and raconteur says, "this Ebola thing is obviously a conspiracy by gun manufacturers, poison companies, Kool-Aid, and single edge razor blade makers.
Once you have contracted a fatal virus, and have no antidote, what's the point of suffering with increasing intensity for a week or a month b 4 you finally 'join the majority'"?
Tis better to take your own life, right?
Cui bono, mon freres, cui bono.
I would insist on in-person visits to my Senator and House representative in DC, to thank them for allowing the Ebola virus into the US. Then I might stroll over to the nearest EPA office, followed by NAMBLA world headquarters. I literally would make a list of all the people I needed to personally thank with kisses, hugs and handshakes.
Let's be honest.
Would you bring into your home a relative with tuberculosis?
I would not bring neither my mother nor my father, if he were alive.
Instead of bringing infected would be better to take an entire hospital there.
No cure is known.
Will deal with chamomile tea?
Any moron attempting a selfire with the patient can make a tremendous shit to come out.
They should have called a fighter aircraft Ukrainians to solve this break even over the ocean.
I'm serious, the risk is too great to take.
Fuck me! The plane flew over as I was driving by! I have to drive by that air base almost daily!
Is that the signal that it is time to relocate, your personal early warning alarm?
Be sure to post if the folks near the base start to twitch involuntarily!
Don't worry, Americans. Freedom and democracy is coming back to your country.

I seriously want to know who is paying for all if this (transport, police, treatment, etc) and who is accepting the liability if someone catches it and all of the added exponential treatment, quarantine etc costs.
Got a mirror handy?
Uncle 'I print a trilly' Sam!
Who makes money with a worldwide pandemic? Will the workers who treat these 2 just "go home?" They all should be in quarantine for 30 days after working on them. Is this some set up? does the ambulance get burned? What about the plane? Jeezuz
Don't burn the fricking plane already. I'll take my chances with the Ebola. I'd love to have that thing sitting here in the local airport or build a runway down at the farm. Imagine the chicks I could get......weekend flights to the Caymen Islands, Mile High Club. With a 30 day incubation period, just sayin, that would be going out in style.
You have to look at things from a risk/reward perspective.
There is no cure for Ebola and it's transmissible which could lead to massive outbreak in the United States killing hundreds of thousands.
On the other side of the trade, there are two peoples lives at stake who were foolish enough to put themselves in harms way by traveling to the shithole of the Earth in Liberia, Africa.
So who's more derserving of saving?
These two liberal retards? Or the rest of us who knew better?
Questions, questions...
this is the only case we know of, more to come
And btw, here is an extra bonus: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=359_1336476686
This is the Liberians using their pristine beaches as gigantic litterboxes and shitting all over the place.
These are the retards these two caucasian libtard morons went to save and now have probably died for.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWBKoXCNxy0&index=6&list=UUE2rZOVPBHBY3m...Jerusalem Post had an article "Gaza must go"
saying the "non belligerent Palestinians should be relocated and Israel should take the whole of Gaza. Mowing the lawn won't cut it anymore." Mentioned 1967 land given, I would think that means the West Bank too.
"And right now even our most extreme containment procedures are failing to keep health workers from contracting the disease."
It is the 'best effort' containment their organization can fund in the 3rd world and without sufficient facilities.
How are they containing the virus when it gets on their special clothing ?
The overall process may be sufficient short-term, but long-term it probably insufficient and the virus will escape.
I'm not a doctor, but this is not serious confinement, only "best effort" confinement given lack of resources.
At the ebola virus origin, at this point in time, the only to confine is to put up 'sick areas' behind razor wire and none gets in or out.
Any wanting to leave must go through a 1 month quarantine.
This would take many thousands of specialists, many clinics, many hospitals, and many security regions, to support a viable confinement in Africa.
A few $US billion may cover the costs. Who ("WHO"?) is willing to foot the bill ? Not to mention any moral/ethical/societal concerns or issues.
Bullish as you boys say! Maybe Ebolabama is about to cash in
According to the South African news blog FTO, Barack Obama owns shares in Baxter Labs, a major player in the current healthcare and H1N1 Vaccination programs. Could they also be blame for the recent Ukrainian Pnuemonic plague that is spreading like wildfire, which has infected millions with a new more deadly strain of the virus?
"The President of the United States, Barack Obama has shares in Baxter, the company many say is responsible for the h1n1 swine flu pandemic. Back 2005 Barack Obama bought $50,000 worth of stock in two companies.
Right after he bought the shares also in 2005 Barack Obama (still a senator at that time) introduced the first comprehensive bill to address the threat of avian influenza pandemic. AVIAN Act (S. 969)

If you are going to make some mayonaise first you have to crack an egg. If you are going to sell some vaccine first you need a pandemic.
This is how WWZ started.
Obozo loves diversity so much.
He had to bring Ebola over from Africa.
Every 3rd world nation should have Ebola in it.
Who's going to house and feed the Ebolas?
Won't be any put up in Michelle's living quarters.
Scroll Back up and stare at the faces of the two Ebola Travelling Circus Members coming to Atlanta. Seriously, does anyone besides me get a creepy feeling looking at either of these two? I can't put my finger on what is wrong, the expression on the face, a strange similiarity between the features of the two....it is just creepy to me. That Hello, I'm a fucking idiot who put myself at risk and will now make an attempt to take the rest of humanity down with my stupid ass. I don't think either of them are firing on all 8 cylinders.
They look like liberals.
Same glazed look I've seen on every "born again" christian I've ever met.
The real mystery here is how they ever became doctors, since a certain amount of scientific training is required in that role, even if it is only applied science.
I have no quarrel with cultural Christians, any more than with cultural Jews, Muslims, whatever. Everyone drags some amount of religious baggage around with them, it's almost impossible not to, but these people are different. I put them on the same level as Moonies and Scientologists, i.e. a CULT, and therefore dangerous.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but in the coverage did you notice they walk over rocks? They risk tearing a hole in the suit???
MalteseFalcon above is correct. The CDC wants clinical cases to study, Emory wants publicity, and, yes, the care is probably marginally better in the U.S. than in Liberia, so the families and Samaritan's Purse would be in favor of it too.
The fact that 100 health care workers have caught ebola in Africa in spite of having followed the best known protocols for safety does give one cause for concern, however.
"The fact that 100 health care workers have caught ebola in Africa in spite of having followed the best known protocols for safety does give one cause for concern, however."
You think?
My wife has worked in West Africa and runs a clinic. SHE THINKS THEY ARE NUTS. She said that they should have sent the medical ship there and flown that ambulance plane with top docs and supplies to Afrcia. You do not ship unknown lethal virii to other continents. This is nuts.
The best known "safety protocol" was the ATLANTIC OCEAN. Now it's a pair of fucking RUBBER BOOTS.
If this gets loose, it's over for the USA.
I suppose that ebola was going to come flying into the US one way or another if it's all that dangerous, so we might as well bring it in under controlled circumstances. And if it turns out that peach pie provides a full cure, then Atlanta will be the perfect place for it.
I live near the Emory Hospital; make no mistake about this, it is an EXPERIMENT that should never have been allowed! It would have been reasonable to fly the necessities for treatment down to the infected area; it is a mistake of colossal stupidity to bring the infected people HERE! Not nearly enough is known about this virus and certainly monumental research efforts need to be initiated immediately but in the infected area! These viruses have been around for billions of years and are nature's nymphomaniac killing machines. They are nothing to trifle with. Every person that is remotely connected with the care of these patients should have been psychologically screened and extensively trained in the necessary procedures to contain this virus. Practice trials should have been extensively run until the exact necessary procedures are second nature and could be done almost while asleep. Think any of that has been done? Don't make me laugh. The excuse that they "needed to be treated" is super-saturated with stupidity that I would think an educated medical professional would certainly be above. Who was the moron and potential grim reaper who made this hasty decision? They need to be incarcerated and kept away from humanity before they cause even more damage. Do you think I am being excessive with my rage? Viruses - Nature's nymphomaniac killing machines - for billions of years, killing has been their business and business is good....
>>>Every person that is remotely connected with the care of these patients should have been psychologically screened....
You got that right. And no "Earth First" members, please.
Shows you how much the Federales value your health and well being. Remember that next time you want to do something to improve your world.
Hey, you enjoyed your reserve fake currency for decades. Now it's party time.

The Ebola virus can use only the first and the third mechanisms as it has only one segment of RNA by capsid"(9) (the protective coating of proteins). Thus, scientists have asserted that, with regards to concerns about the virus being airborne, the genome (RNA) would have to mutate to the point where the protein capsids are immune to adverse air qualities (i.e. dryness). Furthermore, the genome would have to mutate in a way that allows the virus to be transmittable via respiratory function. Scientists insist that the chances of the virus mutating to this degree are small, despite speculations about the airborne transmission of Ebola Reston.
the mutation of Ebola so that a strain that is dangerous to humans becomes airborne."(12) While the last condition is currently not an issue, it is also the most grave of the conditions, and would allow an epidemic of the Ebola virus to reoccur in vast proportions. Furthermore, it may be assumed that airborne transmission is the best possible trait for the virus, as a mutation of this degree would ensure its continued evolution and progression.What are US biowar researchers doing in the Ebola zone?

Those idiots. What's wrong with those stupid people at the CDC?
Now who d'eff is running da CDC? Kissinger?
Head of CDC's Scandal-Plagued Lab ResignsThe head of the Centers for Disease Control lab that exposed workers to live anthrax and deadly strains of bird flu by improperly transporting them resigned Tuesday.
Michael Farrell, who had run the C.D.C.'s Bioterror Rapid Response and Advanced Technology Laboratory since 2009, was originally reassigned after the incident.
Last week, C.D.C. Director Tom Frieden told a congressional oversight committee that the C.D.C. would take disciplinary action where it was needed.
"With the recent incidents, we recognize a pattern at C.D.C. where we need to greatly improve the culture of safety," Frieden told the committee. "What we're seeing is a pattern that we missed, and the pattern is an insufficient culture of safety."

EBOLA VIRUS
PATHOGEN SAFETY DATA SHEET - INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCES
INFECTIOUS DOSE: 1 - 10 aerosolized organisms are sufficient to cause infection in humans (21).
MODE OF TRANSMISSION: In an outbreak, it is hypothesized that the first patient becomes infected as a result of contact with an infected animal (15). Person-to-person transmission occurs via close personal contact with an infected individual or their body fluids during the late stages of infection or after death (1, 2, 15, 27). Nosocomial infections can occur through contact with infected body fluids due to the reuse of unsterilized syringes, needles, or other medical equipment contaminated with these fluids (1, 2). Humans may be infected by handling sick or dead non-human primates and are also at risk when handling the bodies of deceased humans in preparation for funerals, suggesting possible transmission through aerosol droplets (2, 6, 28). In the laboratory, infection through small-particle aerosols has been demonstrated in primates, and airborne spread among humans is strongly suspected, although it has not yet been conclusively demonstrated (1, 6, 13). The importance of this route of transmission is not clear. (My comment: WTF? I think it's pretty ƒµç?¡?? clear! WE'RE SCREWED!) Poor hygienic conditions can aid the spread of the virus (6).
INCUBATION PERIOD: Two to 21 days, more often 4 - 9 days (1, 13, 14).
COMMUNICABILITY: Communicable as long as blood, secretions, organs, or semen contain the virus. Ebola virus has been isolated from semen 61 days after the onset of illness, and transmission through semen has occurred 7 weeks after clinical recovery (1, 2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you didn’t glaze over, you might live when it gets here.
They’re lying to us.
The take away from the this piece is this:
1 aerosolized organism of ebola is enough to infect you and it can be spread by sneezing or other contact. In other words, just like the garden variety common cold. You can be infectious for up to 21 days and not know it. The virus can survive in liquid or dried material for a number of days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are in deep trouble. This is now loose in Lagos, a city of 23 million.
Do you homework.
Prepare.
The next stage is for martial law to be declared in these countries already infected. The troops are already in the streets of Liberia. This defacto martial law.
Another stage is for the virus to jump to another country, in-land, or possible another continent, while infection rates continue to rise.
Watch for the progression of the disease and make your decision when to head for the hills.

They're saying it hasn't been proven to be airborne, so that's why the party line remains the 'direct contact' lie. Of course they are managing public perceptions to avoid panic and harm to the economy. They have strong evidence suggesting it is airborne, but they won't say that. The public obviously gets handled carefully about what they need to know. Here's a link that connects the dots....

Excellent article from a highly valid source.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Standard
"...airborne spread among humans is strongly suspected, although it has not yet been conclusively demonstrated."
The numbers in the current African outbreak don't seem to add up. IF the virus was indeed airborne, I would expect there'd be 10s of thousands of fatalities, if not more, since February when this latest outbreak arose. So I did some background checking and found this:
http://removingtheshackles.blogspot.ca/2014/08/the-ebola-outbreak-pandem...
"Ebola has only ONE strain that is suspected to of been transmitted by aerosol exposure to the live virus... The Ebola Zaire strain called "Mayinga", named after the nurse, Mayinga, who died after being infected with the virus without any known method of transmission - meaning that they suspect that she died through an aerosol transmission... but it has never been proven that she contracted the virus though aerosol contamination."
I work in Nigeria, and this information was passed out recently:
http://www.nairaland.com/1836141/press-release-hosp-lagos-where
The First case was given initial diagnosis and treatment for Malaria… 2 days later (when he did not respond), the hospital started looking at the possibility of EBOLA… 2 days of blood testing and Malaria treatment exposure by the medical staff!
Now another suspected case!

http://www.nairaland.com/1836518/helper-late-liberian-shows-ebola
Yet the government is not confirming these reports, claiming no new case exists in Lagos

It's NOT going to spread here like it does in Africa.
They have very poor sanitation, drink from common water faucets, many children wear no diapers, fear of medical workers and now for the drum roll......................tribal leaders tell them the cure is to have sex, sex, sex.....which they do.
With HIV the tribal leaders said having sex with a very young virgin was the cure.
I love the evolution of the American press. With 6 corporations owning most of the media, we're able to be better informed without all the...I guess you'd say static. We are able to get a more consistent message, like how scary chicken got ya is, but how safe we are from Ebola. At least we got photos of patients 0 and 1 of the US Ebola outbreak even before it's happened. It took years to find out who the Canadian flight steward was in the AIDS outbreak.
The real zombie apocalypse will not interrupt reruns of "The Walking Dead".
The key to survival of the impending ebola zombie apockylips will be to shoot them when they are still far away.
And avoid ice cream.
"I don't want no damn ice cream, I just want my M-14!"

What could possibly go wrong?

* US DOCTOR AND AID WORKER ARE BEING DENIED A PROVEN EBOLA TREATMENT
*MEDIA REPORT BRANTLY WAS ONLY GIVEN A UNIT OF BLOOD FROM A 14 YEAR OLD BOY WHO SURVIVED EBOLA WHEN TRANSFUSIONS OF BLOOD FROM EBOLA SURVIVORS HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO SAVE LIVES
*NANCY WRITEBOL GIVEN “EXPERIMENTAL SERUM” CONTAINING THE BLOOD OF A SURVIVOR WITH EBOLA ANTIBODIES AFTER BRANTLY OFFERED IT TO HER BECAUSE “NOT ENOUGH” TO GO ROUND
*SIERRA LEONE ALONE REPORTS 133 SURVIVORS OF EBOLA AS OF JULY 31st – SO PLENTY OF BLOOD
*DURING THE ZAIRE EBOLA PANDEMIC OF 1995 DOCTORS TRANSFUSED BLOOD FROM SURVIVORS INTO VICTIMS
*SEVEN OUT OF EIGHT PEOPLE SURVIVED EBOLA AFTER TRANSFUSION
*FOREIGN DOCTORS TRIED TO STOP THEM FROM PERFORMING THE LIFE SAVING TRANSFUSIONS
The successful treatment of Ebola patients by blood transfusion from recent convalescents is public knowledge and is even documented on film:
EBOLA: THE PLAGUE FIGHTERS – NOVA – Discovery/Science/History (documentary)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YYskFkqoyI
Thank you to Carolyn Dunning for this summary.
“As the Ebola epidemic came to a close in Zaire in 1995, 8 patients were transfused with blood from recent convalescents who had survived Ebola.The first patient to agree to this experiment was Nicole, a nurse who fell ill with Ebola despite strict precautions when handling the sick
At timepoint 40:14 mins of the video we see several survivors of the pandemic.
Then Nicole, a nurse is diagnosed with Ebola. She eventually agrees to be transfused with blood from a convalescent with her blood type in the hope that the antibodies will aid her recovery. Foreign doctors try to prevent Zairian doctors from transfusing Nicole with convalescent blood, but they go ahead. She recovers as do seven of the other eight patients.”
The CDC, WHO, the US government are willing to endanger the lives of Dr Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol by denying them blood transfusions proven to be effective in the field in order to hype Ebola and push their martial law agenda.
Taking them back to the USA for treatment is just hype. Brantly and Writebol should be given blood transfusions from survivors with matching blood types in West Africa by local doctors who know what they are doing.

No profit in cures, especially easy ones.
No need to send aid from US taxpayer either. Must be seen as real and imminent threat that needs a multi billion dollar aid package.
I see a plane with little red dots trailing behind it flying to US like in that plague inc game
Know what, those movies like Outbreak are pretty cool. NOthing like watching blood shooting out of every orifice in bodies with hot nurses in Hazmat Gear running around all hot and sweaty. Problem with this as opposed to cinema, is we have to wait so long to get to the real excitement. I'd much rather get the whole fricking thing over with in an hour and 30 minutes than to watch this drag on for months or years on end. BTW...does anyone still give a flying fuck about that missing airliner?
Well, if the country becomes a beeding ground for ebola virus, at least it'll scare the illegal imigrants away.
Is anyone wondering if one of those two patients survive, then they can take blood samples and make a vaccine? Could that be what it is about?
Yes. There so much "we" could learn from this entity, it's a shame to leave it way out there in West Africa.....
There is a lot of money in an ebola vaccine and profit is our most important product. Right?
...it's about return on investment, first and foremost.
"The problem...is the economics of drug development. Pharmaceutical companies have little incentive to pour research and development dollars into curing a disease that surfaces sporadically in low-income, African countries. They aren't likely to see a large pay-off at the end - and could stand to lose money."

Two sex tourists make all this fuss?
I wouldn't mind a sex tourist trip to Mars right about now.
Whichever American is the first to successfully spread their Ebola virus to politicians in Washington wins a Nobel Peace Prize.
Odd why the CDC would feel the need to urge the public to remain "calm". Do they think we are so fucking stupid as to break out into a mass panic because we read some story about some guy with Ebola being flown to the US that no one can see, verify or even remotely get near. Perhaps they now realize the public has so little faith in the ability of the government not to botch the situation and accidentally on purpose infect half of the public with Ebola. Seems ridiculous to me that they would feel the need to "urge calm". Fucking stupid!
Well they urge to people to be calm so they don't miss their fix on baseball, celebrity gossip and Johnny Football drama. Keep everyone disinformed is the idea my friend
If you wanted to REALLY harm the US, why wouldn't you attack that hospital, kidnap the Ebola sufferers, and take a multiple US city walking tour?
Smuggle the hundreds of bodies into the middle east and trebuchet them into enemy strongholds.

These 2 medical people already took the highest of precautions and still they mannaged to get it. Doesn't that tell you that even with the highest precautions it can still transmit to others.
