CDC Confirms First Ebola Case Diagnosed In The US, In Dallas Hospital - Press Conference Live Feed
- *CDC CONFIRMS FIRST EBOLA CASE DIAGNOSED IN THE UNITED STATES
- *EBOLA PATIENT IS IN DALLAS HOSPITAL, NEWS 8 REPORTS
The patient recently returned (via plane) from traveling from Liberia, West Africa. This perhaps explains why CDC was "taking precautions in the US" as we noted previously. And don't forget the administration's interference in Ebola treatments.
- *CDC SAYS INDIVIDUAL LEFT FROM LIBERIA
- *CDC SAYS PERSON WITH EBOLA IN TEXAS LEFT LIBERIA ON SEPT. 19
- *CDC SAYS INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPED SYMPTONS ON SEPT. 26
- *CDC SAYS U.S. EBOLA PATIENT IS A MALE
- *CDC IDENTIFIED ALL PERSONS THAT MAY BE IN CONTACT W/ INDIVIDUAL
- *CDC SAYS ALL PERSONS IDENTIFIED ARE MONITORED FOR 21 DAYS
- *CDC DIRECTOR SAYS: `I HAVE NO DOUBT WE WILL CONTROL THIS CASE'
- *CDC DIRECTOR SAYS: `THERE IS NO DOUBT WE WILL STOP IT HERE'

As Bloomberg reports,
The first Ebola case has been diagnosed in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control said today in a statement.
A hospital in Dallas had been testing a person based on their travel history and symptoms, said in a statement earlier today. Another patient was being evaluated at a National Institutes of Health facility. It’s not clear if either patient is the one referred to in the CDC’s initial report.
CDC hosting a media briefing at 5:30pm; participants to include:
- CDC Director Thomas Frieden,
- Texas Department of State Health Services Commissioner David Lakey,
- Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas Hospital Epidemiologist Edward Goodman,
- Dallas County Health and Human Services Director Zachary Thompson.
That news explains this from last week..
- *CDC SAYS NEED TO SCALE UP EBOLA TREATMENT CENTERS ASAP
- *CDC SAYS TAKING PRECAUTIONS IN U.S. AGAINST EBOLA
It appears the term "contained" means a different thing once again.... as we warned here:
There’s a roughly 25 percent chance Ebola will be detected in the United Kingdom– and as much as an 18 percent chance it will turn up in the U.S. – by the end of September, the analysis of global mobility and epidemic patterns shows. The new paper includes the top 16 countries where Ebola is most likely to spread.
Though concerning, a spread to Western nations is not the biggest threat. At most, there would be a cluster of a few cases imported to the U.S., probably through air travel.
...
“We are at a crucial point,” Vespiginani said. “If the number of cases increases and we are not able to start taming the epidemic, then it will be too late. And then it requires an effort that will be impossible to bring on the ground.”
As we have noted previously (via Michael Snyder):
Even more noteworthy is the fact that the U.S. State Department has just ordered 160,000 Hazmat suits...
The U.S. State Department has ordered 160,000 Hazmat suits for Ebola, prompting concerns that the federal government is anticipating the rapid spread of a virus that has already claimed an unprecedented number of lives.
In a press release posted by Market Watch, Lakeland Industries, a manufacturer of industrial protective clothing for first responders, announced that it had signaled its intention “to join the fight against the spread of Ebola” by encouraging other suppliers to meet the huge demand created by the U.S. State Department’s order of 160,000 hazmat suits.
“With the U.S. State Department alone putting out a bid for 160,000 suits, we encourage all protective apparel companies to increase their manufacturing capacity for sealed seam garments so that our industry can do its part in addressing this threat to global health,” states the press release.
The huge bulk order of hazmat suits for Ebola has stoked concerns that the U.S. government expects the virus to continue to ravage countries in west Africa and may also be concerned about an outbreak inside the United States.
You don't order that many Hazmat suits unless you are anticipating an outbreak of apocalyptic proportions.
And the CDC has just issued a six page Ebola checklist to hospitals to help them spot potential Ebola patients in America...
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warning hospitals and doctors that “now is the time to prepare,” has issued a six-page Ebola “checklist” to help healthcare workers quickly determine if patients are infected.
While the CDC does not believe that there are new cases of Ebola in the United States, the assumption in the checklist is that it is only a matter of time before the virus hits home.
Let us hope and pray that these precautions do not become necessary.
Because if Ebola starts spreading like wildfire in this country, we are going to see pain and suffering beyond anything that most of us have ever imagined.
Just consider what a health worker on the front lines is seeing on a day to day basis...
I wake up each morning – if I have managed to sleep – wondering if this is really happening, or if it is a horror movie. In decades of humanitarian work I have never witnessed such relentless suffering of fellow human beings or felt so completely paralysed and utterly overwhelmed at our inability to provide anything but the most basic, and sometimes less than adequate, care.
I am supervising the suspect tent, which has room for 25 patients who are likely to have Ebola – 80-90% of those we test have the virus. We administer treatment for malaria, start patients on antibiotics, paracetamol, multivitamins, rehydration supplements, food, water and juice while they wait for their results. Sometimes people have arrived too late and die shortly after arriving.
In one afternoon last week I watched five seemingly fit, healthy, young men die. I gave the first a bottle of oral rehydration solution and came back with another for the second. In the half a minute or so in which I had been away the first man died, his bottle of water spilt across the floor. The four others followed in quick succession.
Ebola is truly a terrible, terrible disease.
The moment that cases start popping up in the United States, all of our lives will instantly change.

FYI - here are CDC's contamination centers...

Wondering who started all this? It was a 2-year old in Guinea...

It's starting to cause paralysis in some cases.
The whole thing is engineered anyway.
This is the great culling. It has begun.

I think you might be right, all the "numbers reality" have been well know at Jackson Hole and in the Hamptons for years!!!
The pretend story in PR circles was, it doesn't matter, science and technology will save us all!! But smart people know better and have prepared for and facilitated this day for years!
It's as human nature as this, if it's you or me, It's going to be you!! If its your family or mine that has to die, for the other to live, my perspective will be "it's yours", if that's the only two choices!!!
It looks like the day may be upon us, where there is just those two choices left! If not immediately, it's right around the corner!!
You're talking about the enterovirus that's been causing respiratory infections and polio-like symptoms in children. That's different from the Ebola virus.
In Dallas but no reported cases in Lagos? Only by design (or someone is lying).
This shit is all over the place at this point. Those that know aren't talking until all can invest in the appropriate biotech companies.
A big question indeed. Funny, seems every time I hear an official talk about this, they always mention that it's NOT TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE AIR. Whenever I hear so many experts make such a point of saying the exact same thing, I call bullshit (think "boots on the ground"; "weapons of mass destruction"; "red line"; "No sir, not wittingly"; i could go on).
Meanwhile, every anecdote from people on the ground suggests it is, or that it transmits easily enough through spittle and blood droplets to cross with minimum contact. Underlining this belief is the fact that so many health workers have contracted it despite their training and equipment and assumed mortal fear of the disease--I'm mortified and I've never seen anyone die of it firsthand. And once again, ebola doesn't lie, it just kills. Government officials lie, especially lately. Would bet that something has changed with the virus.
Here's something else to think about relating to where it is in the US:
1) Texas has tons of illegals. Many of them are fearful of federal workers, people in uniform, and gringoes in general; they don't want to be deported. I would imagine these people are more impoverished than the average American and see a doctor almost never. I really don't feel like looking this up so feel free to correct me.
2) Texas has so many prisoners. They are kept in prisons, which is another name for disease factory. If it gets in there it will be like Natural Born Killers crossed with Dawn of the Dead.
Ya, this is scary.

My wife was in the hospital for a minor procedure about three weeks ago in Plano, just north of Dallas. Every person who came in to her room to change sheets and collect refuse etc. was a hispanic female with limited English skills.
Just sayin'...
Hospitals in the U.S. are, for the time being, actually a bit overcautious when it comes to infections. This then leads to antibiotic resistance.
They do this to overcompensate for generally unhygeinic behaviors.
Oh illegals go to the hospital all right, it is where they get treated, they have no fear of deportation.
They're so effing brazen, the men will stare you down if you let them. I'm really too old to be doing this shyt, but I stare into their larcenous eyes, and usually will greet them with 'what the fuk are YOU lookin at?' Anyone that isn't too feeble and/or cowered knows exactly to what I speak.
If that bothers you, be glad you aren't a woman.
One of these days someone's getting sucker punched for staring at my lady friend.
They really should make dueling legal. People would be so fucking polite.
Just don't say Nothin about their nat'l origin, you'll be crucified.
We need a 'Joan-of-Arc' leader to emerge and personally shake hands with every Federal politician, intelligence chief, and Fed bank president, and then be diagnosed with Ebola 3 days later.
You mean Typhoid Mary. I'd rather have one of my fellow irishmen do the deed. I don't want some frenchman taking the credit for ridding us of such folks.
As far as Ebola goes, when it hits S.F. or L.A. , it's bug out time imo.
I already told the wife. When the first diagnosed case hits California, we're both taking LOA from work and heading to our cabin for a bit to see where ( if anywhere ) this leads.
It would seem to me to be prudent to take 30 days and see how it progresses. If it blows up you don't come back. If it subsides, good deal.
On a side note;
As an EMS worker for the last 23 years, I've seen some pretty brutal shit. Most of us don't get overly concerned, until it's time to get concerned. We have thick skins and show up, whatever the fuck is going on, because we like to help people and we like the rush.
We are decidedly nervous about the implications of a true outbreak ( duh ). We are hammering our HR, union reps, base physicians, and county EMS reps / director, daily for updates and preparedness efforts for just such an occurance.
If I get any interesting tidbits, I will most certainly share them with my fellow ZH'rs.
( the timing of this thing really is quite fortuitous as cover for an economic meltdown wouldn't you agree? Or a war? Or martial law? Or some other crazy fucked up thing? )
This shit is HIGHLY suspect. If you aren't, at least slightly, of the opinion that that is possible ..... you aren't paying attention.
Parts of San Francisco are starting to look Free Town in Monrovia... homeless peopls shitting on the streets and sidewalks.
Police don't bother the wanton shitters any longer. Far too many of them.
So as time passes, our marvelous system of public hygiene degrades shit by shit.
Do you live in La?
that's not ebola, that's eyebola, a condition reuslting from stabbing your own eyeballs with rusty knives. ...stop doing that.
leaving now...the lights can turn themselves off.
Dude, the lights have been off for years now.
The hospital is in Dallas Texas. So it could be consistent with somebody coming across the open border.
No comment yet from Choomboy but he was seen dancing a jig under a "Mission Accomplished" sign in the rose garden.
Dallas also happens to be smack dab in the middle of America. A little to the south, yeah but almost a perfect place to spread it in all directions. Fast.
Well done, C I A. Well done.
International Hub
Was he singing and attempting to play a musical instrument?
Word has it that he can play the Boneaphone and Skinflute like no other....
It's not the Zaire strain. I heard they are calling it the Obama dicktater strain. You can't vote and expose yourself to outbreak.
You can't use cash either. Think about it.
Silver: anti fungal, anti microbial, and anti viral.
That is real money, and the kind you can use to save your life on many levels. Oh, and it's currently on sale.
Let's see how effective your Ol'bombyacare insurance is for beating Ebola.
And so it begins.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj9SUJdpJS4
We have to nuke the hospital from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
So according to what they just said, ebola cannot spread until you start to get sick and he got "sick" on the 24th. So for 6 days, this patient has been spreading ebola.
Yup, this is not contained.
Yeah, that hospital must not have gotten the CDC memo that was sent out regarding guidelines for diagnosing and treating Ebola patients, since they turned him away and sent him out to infect other people for 48 hours before they actually admitted him to the hospital. WTF is up with that???? Maybe Ol'bombyacare doesn't cover Ebola?
+10. Some heads will roll. WTF? DIDN'T THEY ASK IF HE HAD TRAVELED FROM AN AFRICAN NATION????
So..they are told to go home; it's just a cold/fever, you will be OK in a couple days...so they stop at a pharmacy to fill the prescription..he goes to the bathroom, grabs a little water at the fountain, coughs a little more and maybe stand in line with some food.
Fucking great.
The hospital totally f'd up. And at the press conference Frieden side-stepped the question of the patient's nationality. They are hiding something, probably regarding the patient's immigration status. Or maybe the guy is a permanent resident of Liberia and got on the plane knowing he had been exposed to the virus. If he gets sick while visiting relatives, he knows he has access to US hospitals. Ebola tourism... thanks Obama.
You'd be shocked how many times I see this scenario. People come from Africa on political asylum and public health,which was instituted to protect public health, CAN DO NOTHING!
It's as if this country has a death wish. I have no words that can describe this absolute insanity. This is a fucking nightmare. If any of us survive this we need to guillotine those responsible.

Ebola Outbreak.
And this is only the last few days in the Obama administration!
Ebola?? I don't care what my government has to do, just tell me where I gotta go to pay more taxes and surrender my rights!
Obola has earned his new name.
Fucking great....
WHERE?
So much for that projected 20% chance of it happening by yr. end.
So, the countdown begins 2 to 20 days...
About 40 miles from where I live .... just fucking GREAT.
Always knew Obama had a big hard on for taking down Texas but I never expected biological warfare from my own government.
What happens in Texas, stays in Texas, at least that what the locals said in the 70's so it should still hold true today.
You can seal the border of Texas from the rest of the USA.
Please do and we will we take care of everything else.
A better idea might be to seal off Washington DC from the rest of the planet.
Exception for the Messianic undocumented.
Wasn't it Texas that wanted independence?
Well now you know. And you should really be thinking darker thoughts than just biological warfare when talking about our government. But then you probably know that now.
Funny that Dean Koonz wrote a book recently sugesting the exact same thing about Ebola.
Downvoted for not being suspicious of your government.
We are all Native Americans now.

Well, well...looks at we have a Johnnie come lately posting. Who doesn't know this already?
We recently moved from the Metroplex (Parker Cnty).
Yeah... me too... I'm about 37mi from downtown.... My wife currently works with salemen who sell shoulders, knees etc.... and the salesmen have to work with the surgeons in the operating room... at ever hospital in Dallas.... Including presby Dallas where our current patient is......
She only has to go in to the office one day a week.... We're going to see if we can change that to full time.
Maybe Texans should get on Rick Perry and the state house but it is football season and Texans mainly care about football.
I'm a hundred miles away. The dumbasses in Austin should have told the Feds to put that facility in Oklahoma City... ;-D
Edit: If you like your virus, you can keep your virus...
The countdown begins tomorrow. If there is another case announced tomorrow, thats game set match.
"So much for that projected 20% chance of it happening by yr. end.
So, the countdown begins 2 to 20 days..."
Yes, so now we wait.
Anyone notice the WHO stopped reporting ebola statistics?
Thanks obama...
You didn't spread that virus.
Congratulations Texas, another first in the US ranking!
Don't blame Texas. I think the focus of your congratulations should be all on Obama and his hare-brained policies.
I don't blame Texas. But one does get a little tired of hearing only the good points of population growth and economic expansion. Texas has become a multicultural rendering pot, and this Liberian-Texan has added a new ingredient to the mix
I find it more than a bit suspicious that the first case is found in Texas... It's not like Texas has been bashful about telling Barry where to stick it and this is the reward for all the nasty red voters...
To the dckhead that thumbs down the comment: Why do you think that Texas, the home of the Johnson Space Flight Center, didn't rate a decommissioned Space Shuttle, but New York and Kalifornia did. Drooling tool.
Don't be so jealous. Bush got Texas a Fed printing press.
Not to worry Falcon, I have an admirer that downvotes most of my posts...
Hey Keyser, I gots me a few or more for sure.
"Congratulations Texas, another first in the US ranking!"
Well....I guess Texas is going to seceed after all. I bet they never thought that the rest of country would build a 30 ft high wall around Texas and leave them to it.
Congratulations Rick Perry. You just became President of the Republic of Texas. While it lasts.
I have to interpret all this hate for TX as just frustration fueled jealousy from the likes of Californians, NY'ers, Chicagoan,... or any number of the other miserable places the US has to offer ('cough', Detroit).
Ok, you can vent some more if it makes you feel better.
LOL ! I don't hate Texas. Just some playful sarc....and a tweek of their nose for always talking about secession. Now that is Texas sized bullshit. But the rest....just a little fun. And why not.....this news cycle on today's ZH is bleak.
[ Redated rant of TX ] If it makes you feel better comunities once had meaning, and it was once fun to poke fun at other comunities. Remember those times, they will never come again.
Yeah, just like football teams. There was a time when they reflected the community for which they played. Now.....
what we have in texas is Fort Hood
The largest active duty armoured post in the United States, and is the only post in the United States which can support two full armoured divisions.

How many here put on rubber gloves and a face mask to check the mail right after 9-11- 2001?

Whatever fear propaganda they may be using, they know it works.
Yep
"('cough', Detroit)."...did you just fly in from West Africa or South Texas recently?
"cough, sniff, cough"... Ahhhhhh, shit!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I'm a doctor!!! "cough"
Just in time for cold and flu season, so many people won't even know it's ebola until they've given it to fifty others. Looks like it's going to be a bad winter.
So you're saying Ebola's arrival has been sinisterly timed perfectly?
I wonder what happens when you have Ebola and a cold or flu at the same time?
Airborne Ebola?
No. It only works like that in Hollywood movies.
Texas deserves this and more for playing this game of "We aren't going to put up with this open borders and being told what to do by DC" and then doing just that for 30 years. Screw them. Either they sh1t or get off the pot. If this doesn't wake them up, nothing will.
Long tampons.
When my old man comes down with Ebola he will think at first his hemroids are back.
Got vaccine?
Line up at your local FEMA tent.
let me guess
goldman sachs owns a stake in a pharma that has been (secretly) sitting on cure/vaccine?
and patient introduced into US by said firm?
Many a true word spoken in jest.
Fuckin great. The globe is warming, I've got terrorists peaking in my window waiting to get me, and now I'm on death's door because Ebola is going to get me any minute now. Just fucking great.
Hmmmmmm, you know.... wouldn't require a passport or a bunch of red tape to move to Am Samoa or Guam. Hmmmmm???
Miffed is prolly stowing food on her sailboat right about now.
I was thinking the same... Time to head to the winter place in Thailand for the next 100 years...
On the brighter side, the nukes from WWIII will prolly burn out the virus.
Action,reaction,solution type deal.
If only that were true. They'll just kill critical infrastructure and key facilities, so we're left in the dark without high-tier medical care with a population that's slowly starving and likely interacting more in an attempt to survive. Perfect for the spread of this, MDR TB, and god knows what else.
My post was dripping sarcasm.Did I really need to s\ tag it ?
Cholera,typhoid,paratyphoid,dysentry. will mop up any survivors.

Nice. Imagine realizing you were sitting next to him as he coughed on the plane here from Africa.
well, even if infected ... still have plenty of time on mother earth to buy stocks ...
Or anywhere in Dallas when he was hanging out contagously for two days after the hospital sent him home last Friday, before taking him back in on Sunday. Do you really think the CDC, or anyone for that matter, can be sure that they identified every single person he might of directly or indirectly tranferred bodily fluid to? The CDC is obviously just trying to prevent panic by telling a "little white lie".
liars
Uh, is it true that the CDC hired Baghdad Bob to be their spokesman? He can go into great detail on how the CDC is driving the Ebola virus into the sea.
was on an airplane to here from Liberia full of people....uh oh....who has the movie rights?
I wonder how long it will take the numtpies in charge to check the flight manifest for passenger names, then round them up... Given Barry's reaction time to crisis, it will happen sometime in 2016...
Nipping a crisis in the bud is just the same as letting it go to waste. "We have to be patient... and let Ebola spread for a while..." That's classic Obama, well trained by Alinsky and Emmanuel.
Snakes in a White House...Sam jackson did that one didn't he?
Not sure if he did. However, that S. Jackson sure is black isn't he!
Good thing a guy can't just walk right in to our country through the southern border. I wonder what the Obama administrations response will be. Martial law, mandatory vaccinations, zombie apocalypse training, Fema camping, etc. Someone tell Joe Biden this is a pretty big fucking deal.
Calm your tits, citizen. The Magnificent and Benevolent Hussein Obama will surely deign to save us, if only we remain steadfast in our faith.
Defeatism is tantamount to treason.
The first country outside of Africa to have an officially diagnosed Ebola patient and he was not an American citizen but rather a Liberian citizen wanting to visit family here.
I suppose thinking we are officially a third world country because of our inability to prevent this from coming in to our country would make me eligible for reprogramming at the local FEMA camp ground.
We were watching the CDC Director's new conference. He was asked about the Ebolaite's citizenship, to which the slimey pig avoided a direct answer saying that the person was here to visit family. Also, I don't know how many times that pig used the socialist phrase "leaning forward." I despise them.
"Drones over Dallas". a new mini-series about the secret government US citizen eradication program, which involves handing the future of the country over to clueless foreigners.
Well, I'll be shooting first if they come round to rescue me to any camp.
Plus he refused to answer what flight(s) he came in on. The claim that you are not infectious when not overtly symptomatic is another white lie. The probability of infection by contact is merely lower, but certainly not zero in the early stages of any viral infection - especially one that can take up to 2 weeks to show visible symptoms. They are in full prevent panic mode now. Everything hinges on keeping the number of patients in a given hot zone to a minimum in order to avoid overloading the regional hospitals and triage centers. The alternative is a general quarantine, which the world's governments have (very stupidly) avoided implementing so far.
I wonder just how well Sierra Leone's 3-day lock-down worked?
Too little, too late?
The CDC fuckers wont detail the WHO part of their monitoring plan, but "anyone on that flight', plus 'anyone who came within 50 feet of the guy' would both be really important warning signs for the CDC's view of the virus' virulence. I dont appreciate paying the salary of the CDC fucker who is lying to me while simultaneously endangering my life. Please, all, remember what that 'director' looks like, and if Ebola takes off, reach out and touch that guy with an appropriate item.
Right. Lets wait until the markets close before we report that.
I find that very interesting as well.
Shocked they didn't wait until Friday. Someone's getting fired.
Ah, come on it's just a virus. they're little, little, tiny things; they can't hurt a big old guy like me. Just think positively, I'm sure everything will work out fine.
