Miami Hospital Reports Potential Ebola Case

Tyler Durden's picture




 

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.

As NBC Miami reports,

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

And then there is Reuters...

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....

At what point do we implement:

  1. tele-commuting
  2. home schooling
  3. top off the farm tanks
  4. close the gate
  5. no guests
  6. staycation

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?

"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." ..."

President Obama has said that the United States military will begin aiding the response to an outbreak of the Ebola virus in West Africa that has claimed the lives of at least 2,100 people in five countries.

 

In an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC's "Meet The Press," Obama said the epidemic was a "national security priority" and added that the military would be involved in setting up isolation units and other equipment, as well as providing security for public health workers from around the world.

 

"If we do that, then it's still going to be months before this problem is controllable in Africa," Obama said. "But it shouldn't reach our shores."

 

However, Obama also warned that the virus could conceivably spread beyond West Africa, mutating and becoming more easily transmissible in the process, "and then it could become a serious danger to the United States."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

Does Canada pay any price for independence? Probably. Labor productivity is only about three-quarters as high as it is in the United States, and some of the gap may reflect the small size of the Canadian market (yes, we have a free-trade agreement, but a lot of evidence shows that borders discourage trade all the same). Still, you can argue that Canada is doing O.K.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"It will take several days for lab results to come back to determine if the patient has contracted the Ebola virus," said Heimann.

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.

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."
