Nigerian Doctor Who Treated American Ebola Casualty, Contracts Virus; Troops Deployed In Liberia
The Lagos doctor who treated American Patrick Sawyer (who died from Ebola in late July) has been confirmed as infected by the deadly virus by Nigerian authorities. This is Nigeria's second confirmed case of Ebola but what is most concerning is the fact that the doctor's infection suggests contagion is less well-contained that authorities have claimed - especially in light of the fact that they did not quarantine Sawyer's fellow passengers. Nigeria is now the fourth nation to report Ebola cases, as Sierra Leone and Liberia are deploying hundreds of troops under an emergency plan to "contain" the worst outbreak of Ebola virus in history.
Nigerian authorities say they have confirmed a second case of Ebola in Africa's most populous country, an alarming development after a man who flew by plane to the country died of Ebola.
Nigerian Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu said Monday that the second person with Ebola is a doctor who had helped treat Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian-American man who died of Ebola in late July.
Sawyer, who was traveling to Nigeria on business, became ill while aboard a flight and Nigerian authorities immediately took him into isolation. They did not quarantine his fellow passengers, and have insisted that the risk of additional cases was minimal.
But it seems this is changing now as contagion concerns rise...
According to the Minister, 70 people are now placed under surveillance while eight people would be quarantined on Monday for developing symptoms of the disease.
Apart from taking those steps, the government has also set up a treatment research group, that will carry out treatment research, receive and verify treatment claims as well as advise government on issues relating to Ebola virus in Nigeria.
Nigeria is the fourth country to report Ebola cases and at least 728 other people have died in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. And as Reuters reports, troops are now being deployed to manage the chaos...
Hundreds of troops deployed in Sierra Leone and Liberia on Monday under an emergency plan to fight the worst outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus, which has killed more than 826 people across West Africa.
Panic among local communities, which have attacked health workers and threatened to burn down isolation wards, prompted regional governments to impose tough measures last week, including the closure of schools and quarantine of the remote forest region hardest hit by the disease.
...
Long convoys of military trucks ferried troops and medical workers on Monday to Sierra Leone's far east, where the density of cases is highest. Military spokesman Colonel Michael Samoura said the operation, code named Octopus, involved around 750 military personnel.
Troops will gather in the southeastern town of Bo before travelling to isolated communities to implement quarantines, he added. Healthcare workers will be allowed to come and go freely, and the communities will be kept supplied with food.
In neighbouring Liberia, President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and ministers held a crisis meeting on Sunday on putting in place a series of anti-Ebola measures as police contained infected communities in the northern Lofa county.
Police were setting up checkpoints and roadblocks for key entrance and exit points to those infected communities and every resident would be stopped. Nobody would be allowed to exit quarantined communities. Troops were fanning out across Liberia to help to deal with the emergency.
"The situation will probably get worse before it gets better," Liberian Information Minister Lewis Brown told Reuters. "We are over-stretched. We need support; we need resources; we need workers."
...
Director of Liberian National Police Chris Massaquoi said last week that troops would place forces in areas where crowds had previously stoned health workers. He added that all protests, demonstrations and marches had been forbidden.

Sadly, just as we warned here, this 'containment' was entirely foreseeable.

Massive, murderous death is an equal opportunity thing to Backdoor Barry, Minion of Satan.
Any relation to Francis?
Could this be a case of second-order infection of a healthcare worker? I guess we'll soon find out.
Short: Atlanta, Airlines
Long: N95 masks, duct tape, plastic sheets
CDC's Tom Frieden: 'Instead, Frieden said, "The single most important thing we can do to protect Americans is to stop this disease at the source in Africa."'
After flying in a couple of potential sources into this country. I do not have a good feeling about this. I mean, I know the government is handling everything, so what could go wrong?
Whats the difference between god ,and a doctor ?
God doesn't practice medicine.
The arrogance of these pricks is going to kill millions.deliberately or accidently:
What difference, at this point, does it make ?
I am afraid you are right, Winston, the arrogance of our .gov might mean a deadly pandemic. Why would they take this chance?
(Rhetorical question)
The best explanation is the one presented earlier on ZeroHedge, "Maybe they know it is already here."
If it got in over the southern border, there would be hell to pay for
Obozo . This could be political cover wrapped up in compassion.
Nothing much else makes sense , even evil has a sort of logic.
Good to see you back in the pond with us, Loonie!
This is why I think they moved the two cases. Given the lack of control over the virus in its source area, the likelihood that it is not already present in the US is trivial. Since it's almost guaranteed already to be here, moving these patients is a moot point. The one thing we can be sure of is that this is very serious. As such, Junker's Law (I want to trademark that name if it's not already taken) applies.
Logged in to give you a greenie for Juncker's LawTM
Lam 3:37 Who [is] he [that] saith, and it cometh to pass, [when] the Lord commandeth [it] not? 38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? 39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? 40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. 41 Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in the heavens. 42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
Patrick Sawyer appearently got the disease from his wife. He was in the Liberian Finance Ministry. One newspaper said he had had “Indiscipline” encounter with nurses and health workers at First Consultants Hospital in Obalende, one of the most crowded parts of Lagos, a population of some 21 million inhabitants
He had also flown to Accra, ivory Coast and Lome in Ghana before his trip to Lagos. He was vomiting on the plane and urinated on HCW in Nigeria. Only 60+ people exposed.
We may need more Executive orders!

Poppycock! I get my news from Yahoo! They'd never misinform me.
From the link above...the new ugly American....
FrontPageAfrica has now learned that upon being told he had Ebola, Mr. Sawyer went into a rage, denying and objecting to the opinion of the medical experts. “He was so adamant and difficult that he took the tubes from his body and took off his pants and urinated on the health workers, forcing them to flee."
In other words, he became a Zombie.
Once infected, the victim goes on a rampage, barfing, shitting, and pissing on everyone!
Now we know why they made that Walking Dead series, predictive programming from TPTB.....
Fuck, this covers every zombie movie ever made! We have to add World War Z to this mix!
"They look like they are already embalmed-- African Doctor!
ZOMBIES!
(cue that spooky music, white boy!)
Wouldn't be the first disease that causes brain damage in order to help spread itself.
Rabies and Syphilis are classics for that.
.........well if we can't get a war or economic collapse, then we will go with a pandemic to get our martial law.
Damn those terrorist that hate us for our freedoms.........
Nothing like a great pandemic to bring on the economic collapse and global governance. A sickly populace will do just about anything to satisfy their masters and stay alive. Sell your Mother? How about your kids for a vaccine shot? need some food? how about that mark in your right hand,,,
Oh, it's nothing to worry about. Read on what a doctor did when he first saw the virus:
"On October 13, 1976, Frederick A. Murphy, DVM, Ph.D., saw something that would terrify the masses for decades to come. A few days prior, a box containing a specimen from a patient in Zaire had arrived at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta in poor condition, the glass tubes broken in transit. Rather than send it straight to the autoclave for sterilization, his colleague Dr. Patricia Webb scavenged some fluid-soaked cotton from the damaged delivery. After the virus spent a few days in tissue culture—monkey kidney cells, to be specific—Murphy prepared a sample for examination with an electron microscope. When he saw it, the filamentous hook-and-loop formation now so recognizable, he immediately shut down the device. He had to return to where he prepared the sample. He had to bleach the area, to autoclave his equipment and his protective coverings. It was urgent.
He returned his attention to the sample, though. He thought he’d seen Marburg, a lethal filovirus capable of causing a viral hemorrhagic fever, and shot a cassette’s worth of pictures—not realizing he had, in fact, just become the first human to ever photograph the slender, looping tell of the Ebola virus."
Sounds to me like he was scared shitless; but then again, "it's nothing to worry about 'cuz we can contain it."
I expect sales of "The Hot Zone" to increase considerably on Amazon. Scary read and not dated.
Oh shit.
This is a cynical comment, but this outbreak does provide a distraction from some of the other major geopolitical issues. Read between the lines if you must.
Cynicism isn't encouraged around here.
Only Tyler is allowed to be cynical, for everyone else there is sarcasm.
I'll split the difference and be sarnical.
I know a lot of y'all are stressing out about this stuff. But, that's really unnecessary. In fact, a good shopping spree should help you calm down. I recommend starting at banana repulic. Move it on up to Nordstrom's... you know you're feeling like some good shopping therapy there! Next, hit the Apple store... Go Big! Use that credit card, bitchez. Stop at Teavanna next. Have a sample or two, and then get that really expensive green tea. It's healthy, right? And, won't your friends be impressed? Round it off with a good stop by the food court. Dig in! Chinese food? check! Pizza by the slice? Check. You know what to do. Not your first rodeo.
Oh yeah. You're just getting started. What ebola? We have shopping mall re-education to the rescue.
There is a high-paying job waiting for your at the White House.
Awesome. I have just the job title in mind: Minister of Cultural Reinforcement & Diversion
"Remember this folks. If you stop shopping, the Ebola wins!"
Gosh sir, you really are a magic hand puppet, just like our prezident!
That job is already taken, it belongs to Eric Holder. Every time they need to juice spending he just arranges a school shooting and then leaks to the press that the White Hut is thinking about gun control. Apparently due to the law of diminishing returns - they're now adding DHHS into the game.
Yeah... That's not looking good. Shouldn't be long, now, until we start seeing exponential growth in confirmed cases & casualties.
Better stock up on food, water, candles, blunt striking weapons, etc.
African zombies can only be killed with spears.
If you're keeping ebola at bay with a blunt object, you're doing it wrong. (Unless is a flat-nosed FMJ type of blunt object).
Maybe add a weaver rail mount anti-splatter attachement to the blunt object?
Or, how about this?

Nice virus contained in that Asshole!
"as Sierra Leone and Liberia are deploying hundreds of troops under an emergency plan to "contain" the worst outbreak of Ebola virus in history."
Oh great...just what we needed in this situation, African military personnel with all their diverse and varied tribal loyalties. In a part of the world where that is often EVERYTHING. Now tell Corporal Nganga to make sure his cousins from the village don't try and take off into the bush...
I have a feeling that the "containment" might be awhile in coming.
750 Sierra Leone soldiers are equivalent to drunken newbies at the range.
Yeah, I generally try to avoid Range Orientation Day around here...
750 Sierra Leone soldiers = 455 Ebola deaths, 294 deserters, and one former CO selling 750 only-dropped-once AK-47 rifles in Nigeria.
Don't forget the quack-vaccines.
One of the reasons that this epidemic is out of control is the fact the locals think that Ebola is a virus imposed by the West on them; an expression of Boko Haram of sorts in a diabolical aim to reduce world population.
People infected are literally leaving the towns of Sierra Leone and returning to their villages where the RED CROSS ambulances get stoned by the locals protecting their own now infected. They then rely on local Shamans and the belief that God will decide in the end, but NEVER the witch doctors of the Red Cross, agents of western malignancy.
Apparently, according to this article, there was the same "conspiracy logic" when Aids appeared in Africa in the 80s. The Africans reacted the same way at first.
Awesome conundrum if this is true, as the local governments are now impotent, labelled as accomplices of western machinations by the village folks.
Tragedy. There are sites in the US that are propagating the same message...
That is the problem with being a government that has done nothing but LIE CHEAT and STEAL for the last 100 years. Even if good men came up with good vaccines it will no longer matter. People won't take it. I wouldn't take it. Because everything the US government has done for as long as anyone alive can remember is steal from people or attempt to kill them.
Not sure why you are being down voted. That is exactly their behavior. These tribal people deep in the jungles are extremely primitive. The virus is often spread by relatives bathing and fondling the deceased.
I'm color blind I never look at arrows.
Just how primitive are the infected doctors? Just the white ones, if you prefer.
What a juvenile comment. I said nothing about "only blacks contract the disease", moron. The point is that the disease is spread by their behaviors rather than containment and protection. Geez, what a fuktard.

It took a while for native americans to figure out that fleeing the smallpox spread it.
Once they sorted that out ( in the mid 1800's ), they would commit suicide before spreading it.

I read on another website that 100 healthcare workers have become infected and have died.
Over the past several weeks there have been at least 3 fly and die cases.
I think the dots are beginning to get linked without any authorities spelling it out for the masses.
"at least 3 fly and die cases"
... that we know of.
Yeah, the authorities are in full information warfare mode. If we had a full account of how bad it is right now, we might shit ourselves.

What other rodents or critters might enjoy playing passenger freight for Ebola?
That's right, Jim Bob. Squirrel is off the menu, boy!
Porcupines are known carriers.
Assume possums, raccoon, skunks, ground hogs and any and all other similar sized and similar tasting rodent roadkill can also be an ebola carrier.
But a nice 2002 Raveneau Chablis Clos can help you set aside any uncultured apprehension of consuming roadkill/bushmeat brains and help you enjoy that truly unique culinary experience...
Squirrels are still the #1 culprit for new Black Plague outbreaks.
Avoid those damned tree-rats.
looks like the US Bio lab has done its work and done it well. Also, the guy in Atlanta seems to be recovering. You will hear that the US will expedite the production and distribution once a critical mass of dead ebola patience emerge. Death for profit smell all over it.
If he's recovering it's NOT from anything done here. He was kept alive during the worst of the illness when he was on-site in Africa. There was no need to bring him to the US unless...
Cue ominous "Jaws" music
They may want the antibodies formed in the blood serum of a survivor. There is anecdotal evidence that that has been successfully used in the past to treat Ebola. I don't know if the means to replicate such antibodies is currently extant, though I suppose there are such means.
Could be yet no reason to bring him here for that.
There has been some success in manufacturing antibodies using humanized GMO tobacco plants.
I think we can rely on the innate organizational skills of African contries to contain this issue.
Yes, it is time to thin the human herd. Our Masters have decided that we are far too numerous to Control. This is a time tested technique; remember Pharaoh and the Hebrew.... Just coincidence the US border is very porous right now.

I suspect this is starting to happen:
""" the entire hospital staff all left including the doctors and nurses"""
Meaning it will accelerate very quickly:
Monrovia - The streets of Voinjama city, the provincial capital of Lofa County, on Tuesday witness a scene of panic with residents running heater scatter when dozens of suspected Ebola patients ran from their holding room in the main hospital’s compound and started loitering around other wards that hosted several patients with different medical problems.
snip
According to the journalist, the suspected patients managed to leave the hospital premises and ran into various homes and streets, a situation that caused severe panic among citizens and residents of Voinjama who were likewise escaping from the patients fearing not to contract the deadly Ebola virus. He told FrontPageAfrica that for several hours Voinjama was like a ghost town as many residents escaped the city while others locked themselves in their homes.
Said the local journalist: “Everybody left. They had suspected Ebola patients in a holding room that is not well equipped. They are normally kept there before they are taken to Foya. In the process of doing that, those suspected patients left their wards and stating entering the children's ward and other places while they were vomiting and releasing feces at the same time. Based on that the entire hospital staff all left including the doctors and nurses. Up to now they have not gone back to work.”

When the health care workers "give up" and run scared, it is GAME OVER!
So not very long surviving zombies but zombies nevertheless we will get!
Just like Rabies.

Zero is probably trying to figure out how to infect all of us while he and Reggie have safe sex.
If you only scanned the title of the story, which is what most folks do, you could easily be left with the impression that the doctor who treated American dead from Ebola, troops deployed to Liberia.
WTF. Yellow Dog Journalism. Whomever wrote this title, which could easily be different from the person that wrote the article appears to want the reader to believe that the doctor who treated an american died of Ebola Virus which then led to troop deployment to Liberia as tempers must be flairing or some shit like that. What, were they all pissed off that it was a sick American who caused the doctor to die and to ensure calm, the authorities felt the need to deploy troops.
Damned the world is complicated enough. We don't need editors or journalist to add to the confusion. News and media outlets have historically been the ones charged with clarifying events for the reader.
"Let's eat Granma"

I'm not the least bit worried about the Atlanta patient. I'm VERY worried about everyone else from the affected areas that aren't in quarantine. We should be shutting down air travel and really securing the border. 50 flights a day, I've heard. That's where it's going to start - not Atlanta.

Sawyer’s Final Hours In Lagos: ‘Indiscipline’, Rage, Strange - Pee's on health care workers
Lagos, Nigeria - Barely 24 hours before his death, Patrick Sawyer had a rather strange - and in the words of medical and diplomatic sources here, “Indiscipline” encounter with nurses and health workers at First Consultants Hospital in Obalende, one of the most crowded parts of Lagos, a population of some 21 million inhabitants, FrontPageAfrica has learned.
Looking to get to the bottom of Sawyer’s strange ailment on the Asky Airline flight, which Sawyer transferred on in Togo, hospital officials say, he was tested for both malaria and HIV AIDS. However, when both tests came back negative, he was then asked whether he had made contact with any person with the Ebola Virus, to which Sawyer denied. Sawyer’s sister, Princess had died of the deadly virus on Monday, July 7, 2014 at the Catholic Hospital in Monrovia. On Friday, July 25, 2014, 18 days later, Sawyer died in Lagos.
...
FrontPageAfrica has now learned that upon being told he had Ebola, Mr. Sawyer went into a rage, denying and objecting to the opinion of the medical experts. “He was so adamant and difficult that he took the tubes from his body and took off his pants and urinated on the health workers, forcing them to flee."

Hollywood has always had a knack with making movies that fortell events. Remember "Enemy of the State", "The Net", The Matrix" to name a few. Hell even Cable Guy laid out the path we are on now as it pertains to communications and the role the cable companies will play. Person of Interest, the TV show nailed with pretty decent detail what the NSA was doing before anyone in the public ever suspected the scale of what was happening.
Well what do we have in our past Hollywood movies that might show us the playbook for Ebola or other dastardly disease.
"Outbreak" is the one that immediately came to mind with Dustin Hoffman. Even had a rogue military general wanting to incinerate an entire town in California to protect his storied career and cover up the truth of an ignored known vaccine.
A new series, "The Last Ship" shows the outcome of disease that got out of control.
Its a pretty good bet that a hollywood script already exist, a movie already made that could serve as a playbook detailing the events that are about to happen.
Yes we are officially n CRAZY TOWN. I didn't drive here on my own but I now admit the circumstances that surround me, at least in my own mind.
Contagion is the movie you're thinking of...
"Distinguished Scientists" have cultivated this idea of weaponized ebola.
Contagion was made in 2011.
Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman was made in 1995. Yes I'm old and a little too sensitive when someone tells me "what I was thinking of..." and it contrary to what I was thinking of. My baggage, not yours.
I actually have not seen, nor do I remember Contagion but I see it was made with qualtiy actors and a decent director. Thanks for giving me another way to kill a couple of hours and take my mind off of things I'd rather stop thinking about.
Anyone ever wish they could jsut take a vacation from themself?
I can relate to the angst your baggage is claiming....
If you do take a vacation....don't fly Malaysian Airlines
Or given my eventual demise it may be the least painful and least traumatic for the family. Certainly much more quickly. Still haven't decided if I want to go the morphine drip route and comfort or keep my wits about me as long as I can regardless of pain level.
The moment you start to realize that the gov is simply a synonym of the Mega Kapital, aka the means of production, you know your blissful existence is nothing more than a glorified version of serfdom. Suck it up.

Clearly, this is just a bio-warfare medical experiment to test drugs and such.
Flying anyone with a disease that makes AIDS look like hayfever to a place where it is not endemic violates public health.
No way is the potential risk worth the potential reward.
But once they do this successfully (i.e. no outbreaks) they will do it again and again....until shit hits the fan.
And it eventually will.

Obamazombies!
A classic sign of infection by Ebola ... is a certain expression that invariably creeps over the patient's face as the infection progresses. The face become fixed and "expressionless," "masklike," "ghostlike" (in the words of doctors who have seen in), with wide, deadened, "sunken" eyes. The patient looks and sometimes behaves like a zombie.This happens because Ebola damages the brain in some way that isn't known. The classic masklike facial expression appears in all primates infected with Ebola, both monkeys and human beings. They act as if they were already embalmed, even though they are not yet dead.
Hell, half the colleagues I work with look like that....all the time.
With that as a symptom, I've had Ebola for like 8 years
Need a better name for the Ebola Zombies.

[Ground floor franchise opportunities available for a very limited time...]
They are smart zombies.
They can work locks and doorknobs, and can pretend they aren't zombies while spreading the infection.
Severe untreated Malaria can also cause the same symptoms as Ebola.
The Ministry of Health has linked the strange disease that broke out in Mubende district to malaria.
Epidemiologists from the ministry were recently sent to the district to investigate the cause of the disease reported mainly in Kiryandongo Parish in Kisanda Village.
In an interview yesterday [30 Jan 2013], the permanent secretary, Dr Asuman Lukwago, said the team led by the head of the epidemiological unit, Dr Issa Makumbi, had investigated most of the cases, and chances of Ebola haemorrhagic fever and the Marburg virus had been ruled out.
“We discovered that the people are suffering from a complicated form of malaria. This was confirmed from the 3 people that have been tested so far. The biggest challenge was that people thought that the disease was as a result of witchcraft. So they would seek the services of traditional healers, and in the process, they were delayed. By the time they went to hospital, their condition was already worse,” Dr Lukwago said.
“The malaria outbreak was as a result of the heavy rains that were experienced in Mubende. These led to floods, thus causing mosquito breeding. But the situation is under control because our team is doing surveillance.”
The disease, which broke out at the beginning of the month [January 2013], has so far killed 5 people, and more than 30 others are admitted. The disease is said to cause heat around the chest and itching in the neck, and after a few hours, vomiting, and bleeding through the nose and the mouth.

MODE OF TRANSMISSION: 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. Poor hygienic conditions can aid the spread of the virus (6).
INFECTIOUS DOSE: 1 - 10 aerosolized organisms are sufficient to cause infection in humans (21).
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

Not to mention it can be spread by aerosolization. You know… Sneezing!?
Spreads like the common cold, in other words.
The medical staff are leaving, beating a path out of there, and we're receiving the calming soothing tones that 'everything is all-lll-lll-right!'.
No. It's. Not.
The American who died in Lagos, the city in Nigeria of 23 million, where the head doctor who treated him, now has the disease, amongst others, got off the plane after vomiting and sweating. He lived for 5 days.
According to another doctor serving in the ebola fight, 'What shocking is how healthy the patients look before they die and how quickly they decline.’

But we’re being lead to believe the woman who flew from Sierra Leone to Gatwick in the UK, vomiting and sweating, and died a few hours later, was confirmed to be free of the virus?

Cue cynical laugh track now.
Me thinks somebody is lying. And they have to lie. If they confirmed she had the virus, what would that do?
Panic. Raw, sheer, panic.
And the totals of dead and infected? If you’ve done the math like I have, they’re doubling about every 3-4 weeks. And the numbers are sketchy. Recent reports from the WHO, put it at 887 dead and 1600 infected according this from the WSJ.

July 21 it was 632/1048.
And now we have the stunner that ‘bush meat’ is being sold in the UK, what originally starts these infections!?

Yikes-A-@#$%ing-Doodle!
Troops are implementing quarantines in LIbera. This is one step away… Na-aa-aa! It IS “martial law’.
You wait until the next step–Game theory it out.—when the troops turn tail and run.
Thad’ll never happen…
And after that step? Watch for a large infection in Lagos (You know, how they’re looking for 30, 000 people that the American might have had contact with on the plane and subsequent contacts?) and ebola to appear in another country, or God help us, another continent.

We’re in serious doo-doo people.
Time to start thinking about when you’re going to start thinking about head’n to the hillz!

I criticized the title earlier and I have noticed a subtle change. I'm sure they gave a shit about my comments. Delusions of grandeur not yet kicking in.
'"The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that the average incubation period for suspected cases or someone who has made contact with an Ebola patient is eight to ten days from exposure to onset of symptoms. The range is from two to 21 days." http://crofsblogs.typepad.com/h5n1/2014/07/ebola-in-nigeriapatrick-sawye...
STOP EATING THE MONKEY SOURCE OF THE VIRUS?
