Miami Hospital Reports Potential Ebola Case
While details of the case and patient are not immediately known, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said earlier that a potential case of Ebola is being treated at a Miami-are hospital. This comes as the WHO reports a surge of "many thousands of new cases" in Liberia in recent days and fears rise that the dreadful disease could be spread by animals.
A potential case of Ebola is being treated at a Miami-area hospital, officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday.
The details of the case and patient weren't immediately known.
And via Bloomberg, the outbreak continues to explode...
- *MANY NEW EBOLA CASES SEEN IN LIBERIA OVER 3 WEEKS: WHO
- *WHO SAYS LIBERIA HAS HIGHEST NUMBER OF EBOLA CASES, DEATHS
The World Health organization estimates 1,000 beds urgently needed to treat patients.
Liberia has the highest cumulative number of reported cases and deaths
Scientists have created a new map of places most at risk of an Ebola outbreak and say regions likely to be home to animals harbouring the virus are more widespread than previously feared, particularly in West Africa.

Quarantine the slums, bury the dead in shallow graves, wait for the disease to 'fix' it. Like a Bill Gates wet dream....
"Quarantine the slums, bury the dead in shallow graves, wait for the disease to 'fix' it."
Great idea. Let's start with Detroit and New York City.
"Contained?"
Yep. Just like subprime was...
Definitely not contained. WHO also said Liberia has exponential growth of infections.
Correlation between ebola and money printing?
And you best believe that all those places between two dots should have dots.
At what point do we implement:
Do I wait until Ebola cases confirmed in USA?
Do I wait until Ebola cases confirmed in my state?
Do I wait until Ebola cases confirmed in my city?
Do I wait until Ebola cases confirmed in my neighborhood?
point taken. it'll be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few weeks.
I read an article last week saying there was ony an 18% chance of Ebola making it to the U.S. I guess I missed the point where it said "this week".
Time to close the borders.
Shit's getting real.
Better late than never.
But that would upset Obozo's immigration reform plans, and he will fight for those
to the very last Americans life.
"regions likely to be home animals harbouring the virus"
Wondering if some of these regions also harbor the animal who wrote National Security Memo 200:
"...The plan called for collusion among the U.S. government, the United Nations and non-governmental organizations such as International Planned Parenthood Federation. According to NSSM 200: "Throughout the implementation of the [population control] process, we have to make sure to hide our tracks and disguise our programs as altruistic... hiding the fact that we want access to their natural resources." ..."

We need a global warming tax, an anti-ISIS tax, and an anti-ebola tax.
The only hope is to tax these things out of existence with a massive government program.
It makes so much sense. Why didn't I think of this solution?
Send our doctors over there. Send our CDC experts. Send our military.
But leave all flights out of the infected areas untouched.
What could possibly go wrong?
I wonder if our all volunteer force were volunteering for ebola duty when they signed. I'd prefer a firefight in Iraq than cleaning bedpans in Liberia. Surefire way to make sure ebola makes it to USA. Gotta infect a million whites to erase any racist stigma on that pesky ebola.
"regions likely to be home to animals harbouring the virus"
Stay away from the TSA lunch room then?

Emory to treat another Ebola patient. It's not clear yet if the patient is a U.S. citizen or is an Obamamerican.

"Emory to treat another Ebola patient. It's not clear yet if the patient is a U.S. citizen or is an Obamamerican."
"The patient is being transported by air ambulance from West Africa, according to a statement by Emory."
TITD - too important to die. Sarc off. wtf. Emory being used for special private enties/people?!? Okay with taxpayers?
"Please start a new tread with ackownleging whom your responding to. I stop reading when sentences becom one liners. This formats is shit"
You said it. One up vote from me. Other sites figured out how to fix this 10 years ago.
Winston, if any place will be infected it is your homeland of the UK. Open borders is full on, not long ago I arrived at Heathrow Arrivals and stood midst hundreds of Africans fresh off flights from Africa full of potential immigrants and people coming home from family visits. Looking around, I would have said I was in Nigeria, not London. They hundreds were waved through in record time, while the Muslim WOman who checked my passport, gave me a 5 minute interrogation about what I was doing entering the UK. This is modern England! A real change from 30 years ago.
The NHS ran a computer model to check the likelyhood of infection reaching the UK, it came back reading 100%. Anyone of the people on that dozen planes from Africa landing in one hour at Heathrow could have had Ebola riding along. I feel less safe in many London streets that I would in Africa.
Last I heard Jack, ICE had caught 78 west Africans crossing the southern border.
That was a month ago.I doubt they got 5% of them crossing.
I'm pretty sure its everywhere now,probably being lied about,or misdiagnosed.
Globalism is literally killing itself(and us), and the masters of the Universe just can't see it..
Winston Churchill
"masters of the universe just can't see it". I think the masters of the universe,NWO, planned it that way. Nothing like a plan falling perfectly in place.
No one in the West will be diagnosed with Ebola. Eventually, we will only be exposed to a new strain (especially virulent) of seasonal flu. Semantics is everything.
Flu that causes bleeding from every orifice of the body?
If the news media swallows that, they would swallow anything.
Oh, wait ...
lol england isn't want it used to be, they used to export civilization to the savages now they import savages to eradicate civilization.
BINGO
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT, THE DECLINE AND FALL OF MODERN CIVILIZATION
A couple of weeks ago it was announced that THOUSANDS of "students" from African nations with EBOLA outbreaks were returning to the US to continue their studies. Even with what I know it still surprised me, our enemy is DEADLY serious. Even if one didn't know the full score it surely must awaken SOMETHING to realize that one's own government is doing NOTHING to protect US. I don't know exactly who the god is that chose that delightful, charming wonderful tribe but, surely, it was not Christ.
As tho the ultra rich don't give a shit.
Maybe they suppose their $ will save them.
Sounds like an average week at my house.
By the way what is this Ebola you speak of?
-
Realistically, confirmed cases in the city would be my trigger, assuming the city is reasonably large and you don't live in an area frequented by recent immigrants. Given what we know about the transmission so far, risk would be very low through this point. Once active in a city, risk will start climbing.
I'd top off and lay in supplies the first time with a US presence and the last time with a state presence.
Ebola, Eschmola.. This is what you should be worrying about..
Rare, serious respiratory virus sickening kids across Midwest
Official: Virus may be 'tip of iceberg'
So where did Obama and Holder send all those thousands of illegal kids without health screening to?
and deep in the archives last year this EV-D68 was implicated in several 'polio' like sicknesses in California
You can’t blame this one on mosquito bites, rodent fleas or tasty bats.
HAH! It's the Bleading Heart Liberals!
Enterovirus "cold" virus,
serious, but apparently rarely fatal with hospital treatment,
oxygen ventilation,
then recovery.
Nothing like 50 percent mortality of Ebola.

Hmmmm, can robots or machines spit in your food while preparing it?
Yes, if designed to do so.
SE WDC has been like Detroit for years.
At least 40 years that I can testify about.
I would prefer DC myself. Especially the slum at 1600 Penn ave.
Won't happen.
No decent golf courses in West Africa...
true no golf courses, but we understand the secrect service is into onsite hookers. We could slip a few in that way.
pssst, into the Lincoln room, he/she's waiting for you.
Actually, I'd say let's start in the Hamptons.
"Actually, I'd say let's start in the Hamptons."
You forget who supports/enables the State (i.e. those who vote for more government...liberals/RINOs). The actions of the State then lead to poverty and misery. It's time the poor and middle class take responsibility for who and what they vote for. The Hamptonites are just taking advantage of a good situation.
"The Hamptonites are just taking advantage of a good situation. "
Really? They're too ethical to use their resources to shape the situation to what their perceive as their ends?
Did you see the news story about eastern Long Island

Not trailer trash at that price.
Detroit and New York? really? couldn't we please please move DC to the top of the list?
ladylord
I personally would like to start with Washington DC first.
"Great idea. Let's start with Detroit and New York City. "
Can we include California in that list please.
I'd prefer starting with Washington, DC. Let's catapult a couple ebola bodies over the White House fence.
Not Detroit or New York City but D.C. first!!!
"Quarantine the slums, bury the dead in shallow graves, wait for the disease to 'fix' it."

Hey asshole! Your wish may be granted,
http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/windsor-hospital-isolates-patient-with-ebolalike-symptoms/27938442
If any American city is going to report Ebola first, it's either Miami or Detroit. Looks like Miami might have won the race.
Oh, and short airlines....
Why would you short airlines... if Ebola hits and all air traffic is shut down, the gov't will bailout the airlines and they will go to new all time highs.
If you smart enough to short the airlines in such a scenario, I hope you'll be smart enough to COVER with a nice profit before the Gov steps in to "save" everything. Man, do I have to hold your hand forever???? LOL
Yes.... Just study the pattern of airline stock price movements from oh, say September 1, 2011 to the present.
The trading strategy is already developed and publicly available in stock price histories
I feel so nasty. I know there are Indexes or Funds to play the Ebola Threat and profit from Death. Really there are no constraint to ethics or morality. Actually Latin America is better about this kind of refuting than Wall Street, US Congress, or our So Called Ethical Corporate Governance.
Therefore, Latin America is superior to USA.
No surprise here. Of course issues are played for appearances. TODAY, it is clear that the USA is the patsy. USA will take the fall for US Banking. The Immoral USA is set up to take the fall for Europe & the UK system of banking & Trade. The Forth Reich was a ruse. US is the target of corruption and set up to take the heat from an outraged world and the corrupt stewardship of the US Petro Dollar. Currency scandals, IMF/WB heavy handedness... it will be placed at the feet of the USA. Every War needs a patsy or enemy.
Bankers are like Ghosts. They can leave countries over night it seems as they monitor the transactions and approve of the funding. Bankers control our fall,... but... Fuck realize it is already true that the US Fucked the Stewardship of US Currency and Derivatives.
Or maybe I am just full of shit.
Any city with a large international airport and a large amount of immigration from affected countries -- I'd go with Miami, NYC, Boston myself.
Of course if this stuff is proven to be airborne, the right patient on the right flight at the right time will probably light up the entire country in short order.
Connecting flights to everywhere.
Start with Wall Street. They always order or dine out.
The wait staff spits in their food.
What other diseases did the patient potentially have? I would love to see their rule/out list. Send in a squad of epidemiologists at all costs.
I don't like the feeling that I'm being not quite informed but informed enough to be concerned.
If this patient is diagnosed with Ebola I am very truly sorry for them, their medical journey is going to be tortuous even if they survive.
I've seen many Esophageal varices blowing out and it looks a bit like what you'd expect an Ebola case to appear to be. Piles of clots everywhere and on the Drs and nurses. Sometimes they are drunk and homeless so the demeanor could seem like Ebola as well. They use massive amount of blood components to stabilize them but the mortality is quite high. We'd see at least one a month.
My biggest fear is this is the scenario where the first patient presents in the USA. MANY will be exposed. Not only Drs or nurses but housekeepers, and support staff as myself. Patient zero will expose 100s in the hospital alone.
Miffed;-)
Miffed, once Ebola is in a hospital, do you think it is really possible to decontaminate the place?
That issue alone gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Ebola virus can live on exposed surfaces for up to 10 days. Think about that. . .
I worked graveyards on my first job and one of my duties was to do QC on several instrument in the OR. When I turned on the large operating lamps I noticed a fine spray of blood on the surface. Aerosolized blood from the procedure missed by housekeeping. Those rooms are supposed to be thoroughly cleaned. It bothered me so I went back to the lab and got our most powerful disinfectant we used for blood spills and cleaned it off. I went to the next OR suite and found the same. I can't tell you one time when I did this job when I didn't find minute drops of blood in the OR. Hope I made your day or was that just TMI?
It sickened me 30 years ago and even the blossoming AIDS epidemic didn't change things. Even with agents that have proven to deactivate this virus, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near any place an Ebola patient has been. And this is coming from someone who runs HCV and HIV PCR on hundreds of people a week and takes extremely careful precautions not to become infected from their samples.
Miffed;-)
Thanks for the information even if it's disturbing as fuck.
:)
Wow, MIFFED.
No wonder there are so many deadly hospital induced infections.
Hi, Miffed, good to see you.
You're absolutey right, of course. I was recently hospitalized and from pre-hospitalization registration, to nursing intake, to pre-hospitaization testing, to the pre-surgical theatre, to the actual surgical theatre, to post surgery recovery room, to the hospital room bed, I can't count the number of people I came into contact with. That's the medical staff alone. Then there are the people from the kitchen with menus, clergy, people pushing carts with treats and gifts on them, cleaning staff, administrative staff, and the list goes on and on. This from a one night post-surgical hospitalization. Mine was a planned admission.
What happens when they come through the ER and end up exactly where I was, on some intake floor? Its almost painful to think about.
And you flew in on which airline sir? Through Dubai you say? Oh, and on to Heathrow too?
obama care will save them
Amnesty NeoCon RINO Miami Marco Rubio supports open borders along with his pal Obama and McCain.
Guess if the could possibly pull off 9/11 for the sake of control(NSA, Iraq etc.) then why not mass ebola.
Mass Ebola, for the Masses.
I very much doubt any sort of conspiracy here. It's just too dangerous to try.
Unless they already have a cure for themselves.
Risky, it could mutate into something their cure won't work on.
Remember, they are delusional psychopaths.
Maybe, but thru some workplace exposure, I've always sensed the US upperclass is made up mostly of simpletons. Very polite people, to be sure, but people who don't know much and don't care to know much.
So were fucked. If not ebola, nuclear war or some other waiting catastrophe.
lol, step away from the bubble ur in.
You seem to underestimate the level of sociopath orchestrating this stuff.
yep, they didn't build that artic seed vault fo' nuthin'
It looks like someone is conspiring
"doubt any sort of conspiracy"
(Reuters) - Hemispherx Biopharma Inc said it was evaluating two of its drugs against the deadly Ebola virus in collaboration with a unit of the U.S. Department of Defense.

Quick, we need to fly more health workers down to Ebola infection sites, get them infected, then fly them back!
Already doing that with us military.

What would Reinhard Heydrich do?
He'd drop neutron bombs and sterilize the afflicted areas.
Decisive action.
Nip it in the bud.
He'd probably have already have nipped ISIS.
Now we know why housing sentiment is cratering. Nobody wants to venture outside their homes in an effort to avoid the E-BO-LA.

Doesn't it take about 21 days for symptoms to show up after infection?
Yep, 3 days is a joke but I suppose it's difficult to keep people inside for 3 weeks.
.....tell them if they stay they get a new iPhone. Crisis averted.
i clearly see you never been smelling in a bedroom where a nigger spent nights sleeping...
your nose would rot.
How would they enforce even three days quarantine?
Impossible.
isn't this what the ultimate goal of this mess was?
Hmmm... Maybe we should start to restrict flights into the country or come up with a mechanism for rapid assessment should you desire to travel into the country?
Oh, wait. Killing consumers is Bullish for an economy. I forgot.
O.T. - GE is selling their appliance business to Electrolux (the appliance quality has no where to go but up from here). Also, Darden considering selling Olive Garden.
In other news, G.M. to stop producing cars and trucks and move into healthcare.
Proctor and Gamble to stop selling consumer goods and move into insurance billing.
General Mills to stop selling cereal and focus on gift cards for school supplies in classrooms.
Sony to stop making consumer electronics and focus on selling Japanese bonds to American retirees.
You forgot to mention that Panera Bread has left an open invitation for mass murder by becoming a gun free zone.
Just another place to avoid.
Is Panera really gun free? Their turkey sandwiches with cheese are generally free of turkey and cheese.
F them. I will just go there for free internet and I will piss all over the bathroom floor.
Now that's funny.

Never liked that place and that just seals it. I'm with you Freddie but if I were you I'd bring your gun and wear a Kevlar vest. May as well protect yourself while the other idiots enjoy their safe experience they hadn't anticipated.

Surge of thousands of cases, not surprising after reading this from the WS Journal. Ebola victims being driven around in taxis looking for hospitals
http://online.wsj.com/articles/deadly-disappointment-awaits-at-ebola-clinics-due-to-lack-of-space-1410137713
F the WSJ and Barrons. They have always been for open borders and gun control. Abelson is a zio-joke.
I'd never really paid any attention to Paul Krugman until I stumbled upon this piece he wrote about Scottish Independance. He's comparing Scotland and Canada, and this paragraph made me want to reach out and punch him:
Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/08/opinion/paul-krugman-scots-what-the-he...
So, he'd like Canada and the United States to just erase their borders and become one big, happy family? What an idiot.
They're here... Ebolageist 2014
Breaking from Reuters --
"World Health Organization says the Ebola virus is spreading exponentially in Liberia, with many thousands of cases expected over the coming 3 weeks'I think the operative word there is "exponentially"
Can we get an announcement from the president saying something like "okay folks, look...Just don't go to Africa, you don't NEED to go to Africa, no one HAS to go to Africa, so just stay away from there until we get this shit under control! OK?!?! If you do go to Africa right now, book only a one way ticket and save yourself some money because you are going to need it, you are on your own, no coming back."
You are getting to the issue - shutting this thing down is going to deal a severe blow to the global economy.
Yep. And the market doesn't get it yet. Someone came buying 2M SPY shares near 200. Fed?
I bet it came over the damn southern border; sent with Jeb Bush's love.
“It’s just Ebola, folks. Go out and buy. Buy an SUV or take a child to Chuck E Cheese’s.”
I took my child to Chuck E. Cheese's for the first time for her birthday Saturday night. That place is FAR creepier (and more expensive) than any piddling epidemic.
I have never been there, but I have heard others say that parts of South Florida are a third world country in very sense of the word. Perhaps so, I don't know, but Ebola seems fitting to have turned up here in this region. Remember "Ebola does not spread easily, Ebola victims are safe to be around, Ebola can only be spread by contact with body fluids, never by close contact." So we are all safe.
Then why are they questioning contact with animals now?
Miami in rush how reminds me of Tehran.I thought they were the worst drivers in the world.
I was wrong, close but Miami wins.
It is really bad. Canals everywhere and exotic non native wildlife thriving too.
South Florida is a nightmare.
It's what makes me thinnk that the government is lying abut the immigrants by tenfold. The white enclave where I live is over-run. Went to a lab last weekend to pick-up some tests and we were the only white people there, both in the lab and in the city area. This place was majority white just 10 years ago.
Driving around Broward over the weekend saw dozens of temp plates, mostly on GM's and BMW's. I know someone with a "new" BMW that makes 15 USD per hour. BMW must be the next GM with it's sign and drive and credit bubble.
Still hundreads of thousands of empty retail sq ft in Fort Meyers. There is a high-end shoping mall full of people across the street from a "middle-class" shopping mail which is now dead and still empty.
I am moving to the Northwest Soon, it seems to be the last majroity white place in the country.
I've heard that Mexicans are moving slowly northward and east of the Cascades it's basically Mexi-gon and Mex-ington. So, it might not last for much longer.
Try Belle Glade. Trust me, you'll think you're in one of the worst parts of Africa. I put the boot down and fled.
South Florida as Third World?
Perhaps in the Immigrant/Migrant neighborhoods,
but plenty of White Americans, some ordinary, some wealthy.
Face it there's NOT ONE control I know of anywhere around the world that is quarenteening people. With no control it seems rather enevitable it will eventually get all over the place.
That fact that they keep retesting this patient and don't know what they have is troubling. It might be that the antibodies didn't show up yet or whatever they are looking for. CDC site says takes a couple weeks to test positive I think.
Miami Herald is reporting the test was negative for ebola.
My my ... how fucking convenient and quick.
The FIRST test was negative (last week). Patient has been under care since then and is being re-tested. Interesting that the test isn't 100% conclusive....
This is probably due to the testing methodology. Screening methods are cheap and fast but in early stages of infection often only 60% sensitive. So a lot of false negatives. A positive screening test is significant depending on the % of specificity of the assay. PCR is very expensive but definitive and can detect just a few copies/ml. I would imagine this would be sent out to a few specialty labs in the USA. If my lab considered bring up an Ebola PCR test I would quit.
Miffed;-)
That appears to be the case with the Windsor, Ontario story that just popped today.
"It will take several days for lab results to come back to determine if the patient has contracted the Ebola virus," said Heimann.
but
However, the hospital told Local 4 Monday evening that it's now clear this patient does not have Ebola. It's not clear exactly what illness the patient may have at this point.
Absofuckinglutely.
http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/windsor-hospital-isolates-patient-with-ebolalike-symptoms/27938442
Interesting. I don't know a lot about this but the chart on WHO already shows some confirmed cases of animals in the US if I'm reading this correct. So if they say animals can spread it then isn't it already here?
http://www.who.int/csr/disease/ebola/global_ebolaoutbreakrisk_20140818-1.png?ua=1
The map says. "Ebola Reston" from an outbreak years ago. That was airborne, but it is not currently ravaging the squirrels in your backyard as they figure a way to properly attack your family when you're not looking. Stay nimble.
Ebola Zaire (ZEBOV) is also airborne (at least over short distances in aerosol form), despite what the WHO/CDC say. Casual contact is a potential method of transmission.
See this 2012 study:
http://www.nature.com/srep/2012/121115/srep00811/full/srep00811.html
"EBOV RNA was detected in nasal and oral swabs of piglets from 1 dpi until 7 dpi [days past inoculation, meaning when they were inoculated with ZEBOV]" This is concerning because the typical human incubation period is 9-10 days with up to 21 days possible. There are no symptoms during incubation.
"Our findings support the hypothesis that airborne transmission may contribute to ZEBOV spread, specifically from pigs to primates, and may need to be considered in assessing transmission from animals to humans in general."
The virus gets in the lungs of the infected so coughing/sneezing can spread it and infect others through "inhalation, inoculation of eyes and mucosal surfaces and/or by fomites due to droplets generated during the cleaning of the room."
Those were previous outbreaks in research labs.

not pets, not zoo animals, not farm animals.
