Another "Sick" American Undergoing Ebola Testing, This Time In Columbus [Update: Tested Negative]
UPDATE: Ohio Department of Health has confirmed test results have come back NEGATIVE for a person tested for the Ebola virus in Columbus.
Which raises the question - why is taking Mt.Sinai 24-48 hours to test their Ebola-suspected patient?
Sickened Columbus, Ohio, woman who recently traveled to west Africa is being tested for Ebola as precaution, public health dept. says.
— ABC News (@ABC) August 5, 2014
Columbus Public Health confirms a person is undergoing testing and has been quarantined for the deadly Ebola virus.
CPH says the person recently traveled to West Africa, where an outbreak has left nearly 900 people dead.
A spokesperson says they’re working with the CDC to learn the preliminary results of those tests.

That is not ebola, you should be OUT of the stock market already, we warned you!
no, that's a normal symptom of being up-to-date on current events
Sounds like you have been hanging out with Oblowme and the Wookie in some undisclosed location.
Get your ass to Washington DC ASAP and sneeze and shake hands until they fall off.
now the tobacco companies will reveal that smoking prevents/cures ebola....
It does...just ask my dead grandfather who died of emphazema and NOT Ebola.
Ask the Japanese smokers who lived to be 110. Or the ARMY that wants to fix sepsis with nicotine.
This is mainstream-media fearmongering at its finest. Does anyone find it a bit odd that the media critters see fit to report on "possible" cases of Ebola?
Since when does this constitute news? Instead, it's like yelling fire in a crowded room. Perhaps, ABC News should be lambasted for stoking people's fears unnecessarily.
This is a veritable repeat of what was done with the alleged swine flu pandemic. After a while, hospitals stopped taking blood samples to verify a swine flu infection in any given patient and instead used "symptoms" as the primary diagnostic criterion. Is that what they'll do with Ebola, too?
Pretty soon, anyone returning from an African nation who has a fever and is vomiting will automatically be declared to have Ebola.

Since America is 'The Land of the Free, Home of the Brave'
the majority will want martial law to be declared, all weapons and provisions (including food & water that is being 'hoarded') to be confiscated for 'the common good', and those who disagree to be sent to barbed wire enclosed 'health camps' or be shot on the spot. After all, they've seen this story reported on the 'news' and the media, government, & big pharma never lie to us.
They hate us for our freedom.
They stopped testing, after they found the rate of false diagnosis was 85-95%, I recall.
Very sound strategy.
Shit, I'm sick to my stomach every damn day.
I will have to start checking "Where's George" to make sure my money has not been to Africa or Columbus Ohio now. Because that green crap is a better vector than mosquitos.
time to start literally laundering your cash - use bleach
Oh speaking about medicine- this is a tangent that you haven't heard about YET.
Japanese scientist who attempted to make stem cells from adult cells vs. embryos was found dead of a "suicide".
http://rt.com/news/178152-scientist-stem-cells-suicide/
To put this in perspective, scientists at UCLA believe the can make bone tissue from adipose tissue- same theory. Apparently this "non-killing" science is a threat to somebody.
To confirm your suspicions, healthcare hasn't been legit for a while.
He was Japanese.
Suicide because he got caught for fake results.
Japanese honor code for failure.
I am waiting for the big fundraising concert...they can raise millions to help bury the victims...maybe have it at Wembly again...a Beatles reunion too....they can all write a song about Ebloa...that is easy to rhyme...
I am going to sell those cute braclets to help raise funds....rainbow colors and all..get all the Rap Stars to wear them.....I can make millions..ooops..I should have not said that...I will just cover my costs first....thats all
Police State Spread: Long hype and fear. Short common sense and thinking.
Once Kevin Bacon gets Ebola, our pop culture will panic under the realization that we are all a mere 6 degrees away from infection at any time. Such a small world.
OK folks, let's get something straight:
"Tested for" is not news.
"Tested positive for" is news.
We now return you to your regular programming...
I don't believe they would tell us the truth about patients testing positive anyway.
Frankly I'm convinced they would keep saying "negative" until people were dying in the hospital parking lot, and they couldn't hide it any longer.
But then, I've become pretty cynical and jaded over the last few years. The endless government lies have become so ridiculous and insulting, it's impossible to NOT be cynical and jaded.
I think the opposite. Given the economic crash made inevitable by their Ponzi scheme, I bet they would love anything that would 'justify' the controlled clampdown of martial law. The medical field offers great leverage for control, since few people question it's establishment.
But this is just speculation.
They can kill more people and give themsleves more time to gather their resources and travel to their luxery bunkers, if they lie.
If this really is an outbreak it is already too late. Guess we'll find out by mid August. Either thousands of people are already infected exposing an exponential quantity of others or not.
Real life doesn't play out like TV because in real life the dumbest decision of all will always win out. Africa should have been locked down last month. No flight, boat, or car should have been let out of that fucking worthless continent.
Hundreds of people carrying Ebola have probably already made it through major transportation hubs. It isn't like the cleaning crews really disinfect a plane. One sweating Ebola carrier will infect anyone who touches that seat. Within ten days everyone who comes in contact with that person will be infected. You aren't going to put a mask on and not touch a single item before you are contagious. You'll start sweating, coughing, and vomiting. If you are at work, you've infected your entire office. If it happens at home you've infected your family.
If this is the pandemic, it's already over and it won't be contained. The biggest issue is that a mass die off will leave infected corpses everywhere. Animals will eat the corpses and spread the infection. We already know Ebola kills livestock. Even if you survive, there won't be a safe supply of food. Unless you have a natural immunity to Ebola, you're toast.
By the end of August we'll know if life without people is going to become real instead of a TV show.
I am waiting for the "smoke and mirrors" official report on how many air travelers normaly drop dead after arrival.

He just needs some of that new miracle serum they have down there in CDC that makes you feel better in 20 minutes.
Funny about that is some guy from NIH on the radio said it can't be the serum since it doesn't work that fast....
"Odd what the CDC says," he said.
Ebola's been in the US for about 30 years, both in and out of the US Army laboratories:

Two things: if they haven't found a vaccine or other cure by now, it probably won't happen soon. And, they may have: remember that mysterious treatment from San Diego that's connected to the US Military?
Even though quarentine's the best public health measure, maybe somebody wanted some controlled experimental data. Just sayin'.
#ClowardPiven

Look at how many resources just TWO people consume.
Even a few hundred of these cases in the USA will fill all of the CDC centres, use all of the available expertise, and be more than enough to freak everyone out 100%.
Instead of "sheltering in place" the new mantra of DHS will be "die in place".
My mantra is: If you see an ebola zombie, shoot that ebola zombie.
Shoot first, Ebola test later
Let me guess. You're a christian, right?
Not me, but my bullets have been sprinkled with holy water.
Don't worry - Ebola won't ever reach the US. West Africa has trained TSA-like screeners with hand held thermal detectors preventing it. It only takes them a few minutes to screen a whole plane load.
"Which raises the question - why is taking Mt.Sinai 24-48 hours to test their Ebola-suspected patient?"

Anyone have a good idea on what to blame the impending failure of QE on?........ hmmmmmmmmmm ... think real hard now.
ooh, ooh, Mr. Carter, Mr. Carter, is it Bush?
6 more tested in NY according to CNN's Gupta:

Buckeye Fever!
The Day 7-9 symptoms sound like what you get after staying up late for a week and reading all the ZH stories and comments about Ebola... no better coverage anywhere else...
And from the other sources: Patrick Sawyer was rather "odd" for a "US citizen." Apparently he held a Liberian govt job with the finance ministry; now i thought that if you were a US citizen you couldn't hold foreign country jobs but since he had duo passports? (To wit, no legalized "citizen" should be allowed to retain duo citizenship or duo passports; ya want we we got, your ONLY loyalty is to the US. Period. This is why he was able to get on the plane most likely, the US passport didn't indicate contact with his Ebola dead sister. The paragraph below reminds that those told they will be quarantined, aren't always cooperative. Certainly Oboma is showing us where his allegiance is, as a person raised in a different culture and different country; he has no allegiance to the US and will take his state "secrets" and sell them when he leaves office, but back to Ebola:
The Ministry of Finance official who died of the Ebola virus in Lagos State, Nigeria, had left Liberia against warning not to leave.
Sawyer was seen with blood on his clothing after his sister's death and had earlier demanded that she be placed in a private room. President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf cited indiscipline and disrespect as a key reason why Sawyer contracted the Ebola virus. She said his failure to heed medical advice put the lives of other residents across the nation's border at risk.
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.
The hospital would later report that it resisted immense pressure to let out Sawyer from its hospital against the insistence from some higher-ups and conference organizers that he had a key role to play at the ECOWAS convention in Calabar, the Cross River State capital. In fact, we been informed that officials in Monrovia were in negotiations with ECOWAS to have Sawyer flown back to Liberia.
And they are looking for places to dump bodies, using "open graves" and leaving gloves and other materials strewn around:
On a small plot of land, which has been used by the Ministry of Health, to bury over 37 Ebola dead, dead bodies can be seen in plastic floating in a grave filled with water but has not been covered with dirt. A Kparpeh’s resident informed that the excavator got stocked in a mud while digging graves for the Ebola dead bodies in a swampy area and could not be easily removed during the night.
My comment: Americans have a notorious difficulty realizing that "other places" don't do as Americans do. And since we've not had something like this on our own soil in contemporary times, we don't know how our own people would react. Clear concern is the large proportion of five-minute Americans_legally maybe citizens, culturally and morally and politically????
Again the heart of the problem here is that duo passport which Sawyer was using...If foreigners are allowed to retain their passports they remain citizens of a foreign country. Not sure what the laws say but treason is an allegiance or comfort to a foreign entity. One citizen, one passport otherwise they have rights which American citizens, born and bred here do not.
Question - what would it take for readers to acknowledge that they need to act now to bug out:
1) One confirmed ebola case in NY City
2) Five confirmed ebola cases in NY City
3) 50 confirmed ebola cases in NY City
4) I'm already bugging out for the country
For me its 2) - if I see 5 cases in NY city I clean out the bank, hunker down with food and water, make sure the gold/silver stash is safe, and locked and loaded. Just wondering what it would take others.
Tertiary infections among health care worker contacts in the first world.
great question and something to think about!
will they confirm the cases or lie "to protect" us?
Have you ever been around a gaggle of nurses? If there are secondary/tertiary infections, no way it'll be kept a secret for any length of time.
No shit. I know every nurse in an ER in the Bronx. I'll know. Then you'll all know.
I asked my wife the same thing. She said if it were to start popping up in ERs in large cities we out. By that she means at least 100 collectively. She runs a minute clinic and I am intrigued to see if any alerts are being given. We have our plan, route and supplies. When my folks get back from their vacay, I am discussing with them too about an exit plan. They are key as they could help financially for us as my wife would have to quit her job and such depending on how bad it got....or gets.

R0 looks like it is greater than 3 ... upper limit undetermined.
Ebola is the new "mystery white powder". It's like the anthrax psy-op all over again.
I believe the CDC allowed those two patients to be returned to the US for treatment for the specific purpose of creating reasonable doubt as to whether ebola was on the loose here or not. The paranioa, rumors and thumps in the night will now run wild.
They're testing the system to see how America reacts. Truth be told, it's probably already here, and just being covered up.
I don't blame Obama. I blame Bush meat.
For a fee I hear that you can hunt Bush Meat from helicopters in Texas.
the silence from Mt. Sinai continues, nothing new since last night at all, no all clear test results are negative announcement...
Columbus was quick on the "yeah we're good" report, they laid it to rest before it really became much of a story, then there was London a few days ago, lady got off a plane traveling from somewhere in west Africa and just collapsed right at the airport. she died later at the hospital but the Brits were quick, again, to let the whole planet know that there was a negative result "no ebola to see here".
and the other five suspected cases in NYC? I think all of them have paned out to be false alarms thus far, though I did notice that the language regarding these cases is a little fuzzy in the media reports, not much detail just a kind of non specific general denial of the presence of ebola, it feels more like a public service announcement than actual reporting on specific incidents.
so what is the hold up on the Mt.Sinai case? remember this guy has undergone a battery of tests in an attempt to find something, anything else they can pin his symptoms on. lab tests on such a high priority case do not take this long to run and get results on so what is the issue here? perhaps they are really, for whatever reason, not sure what this guy has yet or maybe he does have ebola and there is a gag order so as to avoid stirring up panic in a city of 8 million people..
either explanation makes sense, but the longer the blackout on this the more one becomes more likely than the other...
I'll bet anyone here that NO ONE's test will come back positive. It can't. Too much room for panic if it does.
Today I received a combined 5 page Public Health Advisory from the NJ State Dept of Health/CDC concerning Ebola. I read every line assiduously. There was a paragraph on page 5 stating a caution to Health care workers regarding aerosols in Ebola patients. Now, they were mainly referring to Nurses using Suctioning equipment, or Respiratory therapists using Nebulizer therapies for Asthma, COPD, Pneumonia patients etc. HOWEVER, it is important to note that aerosols can also be created if the infected patient coughs, sneezes, or blows his nose. This was learned from our experience with Tuberculosis patients over the years. So what`s the big deal with all of this? The importance of this cannot be overstated. We are being told that Ebola is "just like HIV,ONLY SPREADS BY BLOOD OR BODY FLUID CONTACT". As I stated in a previous e-mail, It is very suspicious that a well-trained Physician and Nurse would both acquire Ebola while using the "RECOMMENDED UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS" that prevent the routine spread of HIV. So it is more likely that the Dr. and Nurse both acquired the Ebola from aerosols created by coughing patients. HIV is not able to be aerosolized. Therefore we have at least one very important distinction between Ebola and HIV: Ebola is much more likely to be transmitted from person to person.
What I get out of that besides the information is smoking gun proof that they are lying.

Bring out yer dead! <clingclangcling> Bring out yer dead! <clangclingclang> Bring out yer dead!
High profile incidents covered by the media often reassures the public that the government stands ready to rush to our aid in case of a national disaster. Following a tornado or hurricane in the newscast we see FEMA workers spread-out and moving from door to door offering help to Americans in need.
Be prepared that in the case of a major crisis or disaster if you find yourself in an large area of devastation the government will prove largely ineffective. If and when a really large Armageddon event does occur we will quickly become acutely aware that God helps those who help themselves. More on this subject in the article below.

The diagnostic test for Ebola, as well as for many other diseases, can be performed with ELISA method or PCR reaction (from CDC and Mayo Clinic websites).
Both methods give the result in a range of time between few hours and one day, assuming that the lab is properly equipped (in terms of know-how, diagnostic kits, and instruments).
PCR reaction is more rapid (few hours to get a result), sensible (it's able to detect the presence of a minimal amount of viral genetic material in blood sample), and accurate (very few false-positive results) than the ELISA.
I work with both PCR and ELISA, and i say as follow: no way to not have the result in 36 hours from the receipt of samples (assuming, as already stated, that the Mt.Sinai's lab it's ready-to-go as soon as the samples are carried inside).
Last, sorry for my english.
