Cameroon Blocks All Nigeria Borders As Ebola Cases Rise, 17 Liberian Escapees Recovered
On the bright side, Nigeria claims it is "cautiously optimistic" about the spread of Ebola in Lagos; however, 3 more cases reported and the fact that Cameroon has decided to block all borders with Nigeria because "it is better to act preventively rather than have to heal" suggests things are anything but under control. The 17 quarantined Ebola-symptomatic patients that escaped from a Liberia clininc have been found and put back into quarantine in another clinic. The WHO reports the rate of cases and deaths are accelerating further with 1,229 deaths and 2,240 reported cases with Austria the most recent nation to get a scare as APA reports two cases found.
In Lagos, it was a case of mixed fortunes for the nation, yesterday, in the management of the Ebola Virus Disease...
Three fresh cases were discovered, while four of those earlier admitted at the isolation centre in Lagos were discharged.
"What we have now is that, there are four people dead, including the index (Mr. Patrick Sawyer). We have eight in the isolation ward
Cameroon blocks borders to Nigeria...
Cameroon has closed all its land, sea and air borders with Nigeria in a move to help prevent the spread of the Ebola virus, the government spokesman told AFP today.
"All borders (land, sea and air) between Cameroon and Nigeria are closed. Our thinking is that it is better to act preventively rather than have to heal" later those who may fall ill, said Issa Tchiroma Bakary, who is Cameroon's communications minister.
No cases of Ebola have been recorded so far in Cameroon which shares a nearly 2,000-kilometre-long border with Nigeria, where the virus has claimed four lives with about a dozen people infected.
And the 17 Monrovian quarantined Ebola patients have been found...
A group of suspected Ebola patients who escaped a quarantine centre in Liberia have been found and put in another clinic.
The 17 people reportedly fled a facility in Monrovia on Saturday after protesters broke down the doors and looted the building, sparking fears that contaminated items would spread the deadly disease further.
Lewis Brown, Liberia’s information minister, said all the patients have since been accounted for and transferred to the JFK Ebola specialist treatment centre.
And Austria has 2 Ebola cases...
- *AUSTRIAN PROVINCE SUSPECTS EBOLA IN TWO CASES, APA REPORTS
Two men who arrived in Austria last week from Nigeria have been hospitalised on suspicion of carrying the Ebola disease, a regional Austrian governor said today.
Blood samples were sent to a laboratory in Germany with results expected later today, Josef Puehringer, governor of Upper Austria province said.
The two men were hospitalised in Voecklabruck after developing a fever following their return from Lagos and were currently being held in quarantine, Puehringer said.
Authorities were also trying to locate anyone the pair may have been in contact with in case further action was needed, he said.
As WHO reports...
World Health Organisation (WHO) figures show 1,229 people have died among the 2,240 reported cases in Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
The latest numbers include 84 additional deaths from 113 new cases reported between Thursday and Saturday.
The UN World Food Programme is preparing to deliver food to 1 million people over the next three months.
“I think now there is a high vigilance in all countries,” Fadela Chaib, a spokeswoman for WHO, told reporters in Geneva. “I can't remember the last time we fed 1 million people in a quarantine situation.”

Austria...thank goodness that's an island.
Got all 17 of um, back in quarantine where they belong. Great,
and I'm sure they got the unicorns they rode off on.
edit: that's the Ozzies, Mate.
Austria's where they yodel Eeeebola! Sorry, couldn't resist.
Sounds like it's gonna be a NIGHT of the Living DEAD
Time for a new graph! Bitchez!
Not with Ebola, you don't get to live all that long before your body first attempts to melt itself, than assumes room temperature.
Isn't that one of the 54 states?
It's 57 states.......dummy
Wait, isn't that the island next to Australia? What is the name...Auckland or somethin? ((buurrp))
It's 57 states, for Chrissake! Even Obama knows that.
It's 57 states, for Chrissake! Even Obama knows that.
When did Austria become an island?
Its part of New Zealand you fool.
When did Austria become an island?
Global warming -----> melting glaciers -----> rising oceans
Pay attention!!!!
I don't even want to think about how quickly this would roll across the USA. With our open southern border anything is now possible.
America and Europe arn't important right now because security is still tight.
It's that black hole India that is now top priority. If they get Ebola in the country... Go save us all...
Hundreds of millions can get it...
No real hygiene...
International contacts to the entire world...
Borders with China and the middle east...
Enormous internaitional contact points.
So don't focus on the first line of defense, check the rear...
Brussels is a main airport, no?
China will prepare flamethrowers at the Indian border.
Without hesitation.
They where always good at pyrotechnics.
No, well inside the Indian border.
They are grabbing more territory constantly, but the thought police don't care.
China will prepare flamethrowers inside the Indian border.
FIFY
600 people in quarantine in Germany

If those pictures show the actual medical team who transported the I'll woman to hospital, and she does have Ebola their protective clothing and masks may prove to have been inadequate. But knowing the Daily mail it will be an archive photo. Hopefully.
What will we do for Tech Support calls if India gets Ebola?
I'll ask my dog. I always get a better answer with less attitude.
Damn. I should have thought of that.
I'm surprised Africa hasn't militarized all their borders by now. Or are they looking to us for an example of proper border procedure.
Miffed;-)
Liberia is issuing orders to shoot to kill. In this morning's post.
I'm reading The Hot Zone. Not for the faint of heart.
I see what you mean about this damn bug. Nothing else like it.
Hemorrhagic fevers are about as bad as things get, out there in the wild. We've been living on borrowed time, though, maybe still are. However I don't think this round is The One. You won't know when The One has shown up, it will come out of nowhere -- no warning, no reporting, no WHO charts. Just come out of nowhere and mow people down like a terrible machine.
Even as bad as it is, this is probably not The One. But it's wanting to be, and that makes me think the one that will unmake us is the next one or perhaps the one after.
It won't be the one until it quite suddenly is. Overnight it will just be everywhere - exponential functions are a motherfucker.
I gather they now have a "Shoot to thrill" order.
Military guys love to shoot at stuff. Sometimes even at people... even of their own color and religion - just ask the Kiev Junta or Jihadist psychos.
come on now, blocking borders is racist.
Just got a huge order from St Louis for them newfangled thing-a-bobbers called Tasers
Liberia may quaranteen entire internal regions. http://www.liberianobserver.com/news/%E2%80%98nimba-may-be-quarantined%E...
In WHO's report last Friday for Tues-Wed 8/12-13, Liberia's numbers of 116 new cases and 58 deaths constituted an overwhelming 76% each of the 4 country 2 day totals of 152 new and 76 dead, and this morning WHO's 3 day, 4 country numbers for 8/14-15-16 only included only either 1 or 2 days for Liberia, at 48 new and 53 dead.
Either Liberia or WHO or both are probably now doing the Lisa Jackson/EPA/TEPCO/EU "lie when it gets serious" disappearing numbers trick.
The area that should be quarantained is Liberia, and tomorrow's WHO numbers (around 3 pm EST) for 8/17-18 should reveal either the extent of the EVD spread, or else the degree of official coverup and suppression. If WHO again tomorrow uses an asterisk to explain why only 1 of 2 days of Liberia's totals are included in the 4 country, 2 day report, or WORSE, why NO DAYS are included for Liberia, then it's time to search for some reality from Dr. Henry Niman here:
http://fluboard.rhizalabs.com/forum/search.php?search_id=active_topics
Tomorrow's 8/20 WHO 2 day new case/death EVD report will be for 8/17 and 8/18 for the 4 countries, and any repeated and unexplained omission of 1 or BOTH Liberian days (or other 3 country omissions) from the totals will render further WHO EVD reporting a meaningless scam:
http://who.int/csr/don/en/
Liberia's armed forces have reportedly been given orders to shoot people trying to illegally cross the border from neighbouring Sierra Leone, which was closed to stem the spread of Ebola.
Soldiers stationed in Bomi and Grand Cape Mount counties, which border Sierra Leone, were to 'shoot on sight' any person trying to cross the border, said deputy chief of staff, Colonel Eric Dennis, according to local newspaper the Daily Observer.
The order comes after border officials reported people continued to cross the porous border illegally.
http://www.skynews.com.au/news/world/africa/2014/08/18/shoot-on-sight-or...
They may consider themselves lucky to be shot on sight.
If it keeps growing, there will come a day when this guy will give the call for the clan to close up our little borders and to man the top of the barn with our own shoot-on-sight order for anyone attempting to even get close. Love the fact that my ex-Marine son has no problem at all dropping things at 500 yards. Might come in handy...
Reminds me, I need to stack some more of the precious metal that comes with it's own delivery system in various calibers.
The 17 people reportedly fled a facility in Monrovia on Saturday after protesters broke down the doors and looted the building, sparking fears that contaminated items would spread the deadly disease further.
Brilliant, break in to a Ebola quarantine facility in protest at people with suspected Ebola being there then run away with their blankets, sheets etc, yep, got me beat as to why it is spreading, but possibly because people in these countries are as thick as bat shit.
"Those people" are even in Monrovia?
that's monkey niggers for you, theres a reason why africa is a shithole
The U.S. is no doubt allowing all in who want to come in while "scanning" for signs of "infection" by beagle-eyed T.S.A. agents.
They probably told the intellectually challenged TSA workers Ebola will show up on body scans. Must keep the drones working to keep us safe from terrorists. Can you imagine the public panic if that show of authority showed signs of fear and weakness?
I'm tempted to tell them those pretty blue gloves they wear from person to person is a sure ticket to death. Messing with someone's mind can be fun.
Miffed;-)
Just change the wording to an exponential increase in the probability of contracting a lethal ebola infection, and it magically transforms from strictly "fucking with their mind" to "dispensing sound advice"...
As long as it's not Cameron, everything is just fine.
I need more cans ... more cans and more bottled water ...
Isn't it funny how MH17 is no longer in the news? MH370 seems to have been long forgotten as well.

Every international incident is suspect to fraud.
There's isn't a thing happening or I feel like there's a con in action
Not many updates on the 2 flown in to the US from Africa, either. Hmmmmmmmmm
More people are catching onto the staged False Flag events and some of ridiculous domestic shooting hoaxes and other outrageous lies shoveled at us every day by puppeteer controlled US media.
WHO has announced the 3 day 8/14-15-16 totals for new Ebola cases and deaths, a surprisingly low 113 new and 84 dead. Closer examination reveals that they have employed the Lisa Jackson/EPA/TEPCO data elimination scam by, without any more explanation than an asterisk, only reporting 2 of the 3 day totals for the worst, most rapidly rising country of infection, Liberia.
Tomorrow's WHO release of the 4 country 2 day 8/17-18 new case/death totals will reveal that they are fully intending to permanantly bury new case/death numbers from the most infected country Liberia, whose new case/death numbers constituted 76% of the 4 country totals in the last WHO report, so as to understate and obscure what is probably an emerging worldwide pandemic.
You don't puntuate like a lawyer.
Its hard to follow what is important info.
If they are expecting a huge number of, as of now, untracked cases to come on line, but they don't have all the numbers in yet (many experts are saying due to logistics issues in Liberia, the numbers are vastly under reported) I think the choice to report 2 day data has more integrity than not reporting at all. Also, they don't want to panic folks. But that is my guess about what is up here, we are getting ready to hear BIG damn numbers.
Edit: If they pull a BLS and start lying here, they are done and no one will trust a damn thing they say if they are caught doing it. For now, I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Last week's Tues.-Wed. Liberian new cases of 116 were 76% of the 4 country total of 152 new, and Liberian 2 day deaths of 58 were also 76% of the 4 country 2 day total of 76 deaths.
For making the following unexplained notation in today's report, to wit that only 1 day of 3, Aug. 15th, is included for Liberia in what is a 3 day, 8/14-15-16 total report, puts WHO, IMHO, entirely in doubt. See the last line:
" * Information from Liberia, throughout this update, is from 15 August, 2014. "
http://who.int/csr/don/2014_08_19_ebola/en/
They will lie, its first nature to them now.
They will still lie when bodies line the street in the US, if it comes to that.
We are all fighting windmills.
They're apparently only reporting lab-confirmed cases (tweet from Laurie Garrett) which means the suspected case numbers don't mean anything at all - because they ought to be up by a lot:
@Laurie_Garrett · 7hLatest #Ebola numbers from @WHO whih only include lab-confirmed cases that are in the system http://who.int/csr/don/2014_08_19_ebola/en/ …
The reported numbers are becoming increasingly meaningless. As hospitals close, aid and care workers die, and people scatter out of urban areas into slums and rural areas the actual deaths and new cases will simply be -- unknown. Just unknown. You can estimate what they ought to be, but nobody will know.
If we are not at that point already, I'd give it another week. They'll keep issuing numbers but you'll notice they are not changing much and maybe are decreasing (fewer new cases) but the news will continue to be disasters, closed borders, human tragedy, bodies in the streets, waves of refugees, the whole thing.
This is what out of control really means. We never had control -- we only just had a grasp of the problem -- and shortly we won't even have that.
So we're fucked , or are you just feeling maudlin today ?
Just so, Cougar. As you said a few days ago, code for "we've lost it."
But they don't want to admit that. That moves the responsibility for quarantine and action to a higher level.
I'm betting we'll see no action. None. Just hiding and denial.
To be perfectly honest, there never really was anything they could do. Keeping a lid on it was about it. Wait for it to burn out. Block borders. Avert your eyes and don't give yourself nightmares while all Hell runs loose in Africa.
Next time will be worse. Potentially a lot worse.
And the time after, even worse still. Just unbelievable.
Every year we are more people and the bugs get faster and smarter and it just keeps getting worse every time -- until at some point we don't exist any more.
That is how this story ends, folks. It has to end some day you know, and this is the most likely way it ends.
Something comes along -- and in less than a year we just about all of us die.
To be perfectly honest, I bet you're a riot a parties...

The UN World Food Programme is preparing to deliver food to 1 million people
Ya and you can bet my address is not on the list. No good dirty M'Fers.
Proof positive that the leadership of Cameroon have better education than the pass-fail Ivy League indoctrination the US passes off as education.
Yes, like i said, with infected people 'popping up' in the US, Spain, Austria.... the number of 'cases' in Africa must be beyond imagination by now. Maybe Ebola is the (engineerd) black swan.
ZH is on it from the beginning. The Tylers have a certain feeling for hot spots.
Many will disagree, but I cheer to this Ebola Epidemic. I hope it will decimate Africa, India, China, Pakistan. Too many people anyway. Wall Street could use some Ebola as well, as does the Pentagon, Congress, EU / Brussels, The City of London, as do The King and Queen of the Netherlands. Yes, I'm from the Netherlands.
Maybe we could start somewhat fresher, again. Say, with 2 billion people. Yes, I'm wearing my tinfoil hat. No, I ain't nuts.
Maybe the Ebola fairy will visit you too! Ebola kisses and Chlamydia dreams, Captain Tripps.
I wasn't being obnoxious when I originally posted this earlier today, but this time is always different...
This raises some interesting questions in the context of Otzi the iceman, his 19 relatives currently living in Austria, and fears of a global pandemic.
If there actually is a highly lethal global pandemic (beit ebola or anything similar), there are 3, and only 3, options-
1) YOU were born with a natural resistance to the disease
2) your body can be manipulated to develop a resistance to the disease (either by surviving the disease or receiving a vaccination)
3) YOU will die of the disease.
Mankind can't hide from fate (just as an individual will not be able to hide from ebola), yet mankind constantly refuses to accept its fate and move on. Can kicking may be an occupation, but it is never a solution.
Decimation means reduction by a tenth and was used as punishment in the Roman legions for crimes such as mutiny or mass desertion. They were divided up into groups of 10 and drew lots. The one who drew the lot was executed by the other 9. Crassus used it in the 3rd Servile War (fighting against Sparticus), and Caesar threatened it in his war against Pompey. This disease kills 6+ out of 10, so the reduction would be much more severe than mere decimation. To bring this down to a personal level, If there are 5 persons in your immediate family, stastically speaking, at least 3 would be lost. Which of them are you willing to contribute towards the goal of population reduction?
"No, I ain't nuts."
Yes you are nuts.
Do you seriously believe that of all the people in the world you will somehow manage to survive this thing? Really? I don't think so. And as for starting fresh, after that kind of die-off for the next 10 years there wouldn't be any place on earth you could travel without a respirator and disposable gloves and shoe covers. Even being above-ground might be considered risky.
No thanks, not for me.
Don't forget the radiation suit.
Cheer all you like it wont make any difference. This virus is now in the wild, in the wild it will stay.
You can expect 3 waves each larger then the last. Sailors call them the 3 sisters.
Nothing anyone does or doesnt do will make any difference, all will be infected few will survive, with a little brain damage as a goodbye kiss.
It will be interesting how the men of the west react in the face of this great shadow. Run, pray, or cheer. Moot, in the face of this plague. This beast cares none about what silly games are played or what names it its given.
What will you do when this beast comes to your door? Because it will.
Self flagellation with chains was big during the plagues.
Care to demonstrate ?
That was a belief in God punishing sinners, so if you punished yourself maybe God would not punish you as much.
I dont have that kind of faith, do you?
Besides i haven't read anywere that it worked.
Absolutely everyone from back then is dead, so its hard to be
sure if it worked or not.
Indeed, nothing to see here, move on, move on FOLKS (cough, cough cough).

And:
The US’ commendation came on the back of more good news yesterday that four more patients who had contracted the disease had been discharged and declared free of the infectious disease.
Yeah, moar good news.
I read the headline as 'Cameron blocks all Nigeria borders' and thought, at last that idiot has woken up and is actually being a leader for the UK. Sadly a second reading confirmed my longer-held beliefs about him.
I had the exact same reaction and of course, as you did, corrected myself.
Mr Cameron being Jewish there is a natural sympathy for non-white immigrants and refugees to come into Britain and the US for that matter, and let's add Australia and New Zealand for good measure.
The mess in Mizzou has been perfect for keeping Ebola off the radar. Unfortunately it will not be as easy to sweep under the rug as Mylaysian ariliners are.
That is one lumpy rug.

We need Dustin Hoffman
STOCK UP, if you can, on food, supplies, fuel, drink and seeds. Pandemics have waves and just when you think it's done, it flares again. In a pandemic, we will, likely, lose all modern conveniences and all stores will close. Try to have a source of alternative energy. Whether it's Ebola or something else, we should all be preparing for what's to come.
2,240 reported cases
Isn't that like double from a week ago?
Approximately. The big test will occur with next week's figures. If there's a similar increase then mathematically this thing is out of control. Batten down the hatches.
Always assume there are more... Dead, hiding in the bush, sick at home. Family buried him in the back yard. Witch doctor told him to take this medicine & come back to see him in the morning... Assume there are many more and stock up. This is our opportunity to CYA. Take advantage of it. And know Ebola IS airborne.
And to add to DIEversity in the USA:
The Ebola Amnesty
Oh, my dear God in heaven. We're offering amnesty to illegals, from countries that have Ebola, who are now in America. First thing they'll do is bring their relatives, from western Africa, to America. Our politicians are doing everything they can to ensure we have Ebola in America. Learn how to protect you and yours, now.
We have GOT to be on Candid Camera..really? WTF are they thinking? And we pay them to pass laws like this?
God help us.
Over decades I have seen America become a Culture of Corruption in every field. Health insurance companies, CDC, NIH, FDA, WHO... all of them are corrupt. All have their agendas which, usually, revolve around making money for the individual. These days, doctors are, purposely, given poor information and support to help him help his patient. It's rampant. Most doctors mean well but they just don't have the support they need so it's up to us to learn about Ebola. Knowledge is power. Read, read, read. And know, Ebola is airborne.
niggers in Cameroon can stop other useless monkey niggers, but us Europeans can't stop letting them in because of political correctness, time for a revolution!!!
The STATIST W.H.O., other world health 'authorities', and their corporate presstitutes, all want you to believe that the Ebola EVD epidemic is 'IMPROVING' because of 'ZMAPP': the reality of the on-going out of control pandemic can be seen in other more independent sources:

Tomorrow's WHO new 2 day case/death numbers for 4 countries for 8/17 and 8/18 will reveal the continuing growth of the EVD outbreak, or else it will show the ability of national and WHO authorities to suppress and contain the facts of the pandemic, as WHO did this morning by NOT INCLUDING 2 days of new case/death Liberian numbers in the 8/14-15-16 3 day 4 country report totals.
