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...

We are so screwed. Our safety is dependent upon the decisions of a bunch of corrupt incompetent bureaucrats. This thing can get out of control quickly. Next thing we will hear was that this guy was working at some fast food chain.
Very true, but the only alternative is a Tepco like private response where profit is the 1st, 2nd and 3rd most important thing above all else. I'll take the hard-working gubmint workers on this one thanks.
Capt. Tripps..... Paging Capt. Tripps.....
The Stand
so let's see, create a crisis, "ebola", create a cure,,, tkmr better known as tekmira, you have the stock market, a drug company ,,, a cure,,,, a potential pandemic,,,, hmmm sounds like the movie Hot Zone crossed with the Fugitive. Opening day of bow season tomorrow. Had two 150 dollar trail cameras stolen by trespassers. Nothing is safe or respected in this country any more. Not just because they were my trail cameras either. They were stolen on farm ground we lease for bow hunting. It is near railroad tracks. Two weeks ago we had the police run a small tent camp of people,, formerly knows as hobos, off the property. Men traveling the rails looking for food and I guess maybe reselling a couple trail cameras.
John Steinbeck,, Grapes of Wrath. America. Already broken. Fun, peace loving Muslims, cultural diversity. My town police department now traveling to other countries to recruit hispanic police officers,,, no shit. Kids being taught in schools that two grown men being married and ass packing and sucking each other off is an alternative life style. Secret service apparently playing fucking cribbage somewhere in the bowels of the White House and allowing a crazy guy to get four rooms deep in with a knife. NO one fired. Lying,, cheating,, stealing,,, murder ,, whoring,,,, fuck,,,, welcome to America. BROKEN and UNFIXABLE> fucking period. I don't recognize my fucking country. I go to a produce market and hear Polish,,, Urdu,,, Spanish,,,, Mandarin,,, fuck,, pick one. County ballots with 9 languages on them,,, Really,, fuck yes really,,,,,
Isis,,,, fucking schmisis,,,, come and fucking behead me. I am ready. I am more likely to be gored to death by a 10 point buck I have been tracking on my now fucking western train bound trail cameras ,,,,,,, Fuck I am weary. I am so fucking tired of listeining to the DC degenerates that I am almost physically ill when I look at or listen to any politician,,,, You know what else,,, and I mean this with every ounce of energy left in this 59 year old frame,,,,,,,
I rarely use the F bomb,,,, I guess I am almost broken too,,,,,, no fucking sarcasm intended here at all,,,, It is all fucking broken,,,,,
Ebola???? Schmebola,,,,,,,, every man for himself in this culture,,,, long lead,,, booze for barter,,,, and venison on the ground tomorrow,,, oh,,, and if you stole my trail cameras because you are down on your luck,, you are still a thief,,, I will share my last meal with you if you ask ,,, do not fucking steal from me,,,,,,,,,, I need some sleep,,,,, good luck Dallas,,, partied hard in that town in the 80's on many occasions,,,, lots of pretty women,,,,,,,,, I digress
I apologise for my rant but enough already,,, and if we have to elect a transgendered asian midget cripple to feel good about ourselves then we deserve the fucking we have been taking,,,,,,, and taking,,,,, and taking,,,,,,, night all
Vietnam Vet? I'm not much younger than you. Keep it together. We need people like you when it hits.
Don't worry about the rant, Hoss. I enjyed knowing you got it off your chest.
And good hunting to you, sir.
Back to killin' snakes
re lots of pretty women (in DAllas)
Damn riight Pilgrim!
Used to "know' a bevvy of AA Air stewardesses outta Ft Worth - all blond bombshells, I might add ;)
(That, of course, was in the days before the Limp-Wrist Brigade, 250lb bull-dykes, and 3-headed midgets were given kosher-stamped priority preference for those positions.)
Excellent rant!
you are obviously an angry white elderly male /sarc on
great rant...reads like poetry...almost like Faulkner wrote it
This CDC director must have attended the James Clapper seminar on "Lying Like a Mothefucker and Getting Away Scot-Free."
You cannot expect the CDC to say "Panic - it's out of control" -- but everything they say seems to turn out WRONG a few weeks later!
WTF, anyone notice the Kill Candida ad on the right side? Over and out homies.
Anyways to all the awesome Jew's out there I must pursue my ethonal research.
Shalom !
Put him on airforce one and land him at dullies then show him all the sites.
Don't forget to run him by the cdc office and langley.
NSA needs a tour too
Marriner Eccles Building is a must see.
just in time for the State Fair..
Corny dogs sprinkled with fresh Ebola.
Wait for it - "Maybe THEY underestimated Ebola"
On a long enough timeline, Ebola ensures the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
My recommendation: Stay home and drink heavily.
I'd rather go camping, preferably through Sukkot.
Train hard and stay sharp.
This crisis is shaping up nicely.
The bigger the crisis, the greater the opportunity to oppress the masses.
Can't help but to wonder if this could be used as an excuse to suspend elections.
Why in fucks sake are we letting anyone from Liberia fly into our country? Beyond stupid. Must be part of the Illuminati's depopulation plan.
One, or all of these things ALWAYS happens to liberal IDIOTS when they go on a "save the world" mission to Africa:
1)They get infected with an incurable, fatal disease
2)They get hacked to death with a machette
3)They get raped, which leads back to #1
Now knowing that this is the pattern, knowing that all their efforts towards changing things will go right down the tubes...
WHY ON EARTH DO THEY KEEP GOING BACK!??
#giveituplibtards
I hope you are one of the first to get it, here in the US, you selfish swine
Seriously? If you're going on "save the world" missions to Africa, the least thing you can do for the rest of the world you want to save is to exercise extreme caution. A four-week isolation quarantine before heading home would be one of a few requirements that need to be implemented.
This story is going to go viral!
i'm happy to see there's a cdc quarantine station in san juan
Obola.
Paramedic crew quarantined
http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/health/Case-of-Ebola-Confirmed-in-the-US-CDC-...
This WFAA vid states he walked into the emergency room Sunday, but the accompanying story confirms 'the Dallas Fire-Rescue crew that transported the Ebola patient on Sunday is now under quarantine'.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/09/30/dallas-ebola-patien...
Man, can you imagine being those guys -- or coworkers of those guys? You'd shit bricks hoping you didn't shit blood.
Hopefully they get paid during their quarantine.
Wonder if they watched the Cowboy game with any friends or nailed the wife!?!? Share some wings at BW3?
I don't know how many times I have seen coworkers and friends wants others to taste their craft beer or cocktail recently.
Why are we so worried about Ebola. It can't take all of us. And those of us left will have 2 houses and many fine automobiles.
Heck yeah! ... and lots extra Monkey Meat laying around!!
Earthquake, Wars, Rumors of Wars, Pestilence, Drought, Famine, Volcanic activity. Seems everything on schedule. Anyone not looking at the obvious?
Pays to remember: "You don't know what you don't know."
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topics/respirators/factsheets/respsars.html
E.g. "It also is possible that SARS may be spread by other ways that are currently not known."
Imagine a country where the head of its trillion dollar homeland security operation, "Jeh" Johnson, keeps the jet flights from Liberia and other Ebola-infected African primative societies coming straight into US airports. These are the airports where the TS@ is still taking away your tiny toothpase, and yanking the Depends off the elderly in search of bogeymen.
Now, imagine "Jeh" Johnson keeping a wide-open US southern border, where any of his infected ilegal alien and/or ISIS terrorist friends can waltz on through, get a free lunch, have the Border Patrol change their brat's week-old diaper, and be put on a bus just in time to start free school, welfare, healthcare, and Title-whatever housing.
This is abject refusal to obey existing laws and adhere to the US Constitution.
This is outright treason.
Every First Responder in the country is in peril, and needs to walk off the job until Obola's back-alley pal is arrested and replaced.
The State Dept. issues travel restrictions. So don"t leave out the cloven hooves of John Heinz Kerry when assigning blame.
SMH...this crap TPTB pull is just transparent anymore. They dont even try to hide it. PPL are worse than sheep these days... Honestly, just exactly WHAT would it take to rile people into action?
something doesn't add up....
They keep saying he flew direct from Liberia.
There are no direct flights from Monrovia direct into Dallas, not even direct into the US.
Two international flights are still operating from Monrovia. Brussels Air goes to Brussels 2x a week. Royal Air Maroc goes to Casablanca 3x a week. Then connect from there to US cities mostly NYC, not even direct to Dallas.
United has a (weekly) flight from Lagos to Houston
Did he fly with Netjets?
Why are we not getting the correct info on this crucial part of the story?
Maybe they know he flew via NYC and they're trying to prevent a panic or they are making this shit up and aren't even good at it!
One of the articles/vids I scanned specifically mentioned he arrived in Dallas on a 'commuter flight'. The fact that he may not even be patient zero is yet another reason to publicly release all information on the guy.
So everyone should avoid all black men? That's not gonna be a message this Federal government runs across the news crawler. They'd rather everyone die instead, or at least risk the death of millions.
Is this a Federal government that is worth paying taxes to?
No one thought of Travel Restrictions and Quarrantines?
Who is the man?
Where did he really come from?
How did he get to Dallas?
Which relatives was he "visiting"?
Last time a story broke simultaneously across the globe like this was in March when MH 370 disappeared.
"Man with Ebola at Dallas hospital was first SENT HOME with antibiotics before the deadly virus was later discovered"
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2775872/Man-Ebola-Dallas-hospita...
Unfuckingbelievable.
In absence of throat culture, could easily be misdiagnosed as viral sore throat ( or strep throat, hence the antibiotics).
It's here......
The Lockdowm cometh your way.
er whats this i read about somebody on the NYC subway system with Ebola contagion
Well if it has to be here in the U.S. let's all hope it doesn't hop over the White House fence..(or not)
our government always considers that we are fools.
we are certain that they can contain this case by their competency
http://pneumatikeconomist.wordpress.com/2014/08/27/the-origin-of-ebola-v...
but we also know that there are tight controls as a guard agaist Ebola outbreak. so, how did this case get into the country unoticed. Except they are at this plan:
http://pneumatikeconomist.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/if-the-ukraine-strate...
or just because they are this:
http://pneumatikeconomist.wordpress.com/2014/09/11/satan-on-the-judgemen...
SO WE SHOULD NOT BE SUPRISED IF THE CASE GETS OUT OF CONTROL FOR A WHILE
so... 300ppl in the plane, 1 ebola recogized... 50% chance go piss while flying, touching doors n stuff... let's say 150 infected.
150ppl at least knowing like, let's be small, 3 ppl/mate/lovers. 150*450.... 67500 potential. let's say thirdth will contract ebola.
end october 22k ebola in usa.
game over, usa.
There's actually a good chance this guy wasn't even patient zero. In which case, we should be looking for tertiary cases as soon as now.

the US is frustrated because Ebola is being contained in West Africa after they were being chased

This is the black swan upon which the US will collapse.
Thanks, Backdoor Obola.
Methinks you could be right.
Under 0baMao, the US has trully become a third world nation. God only knows what is coming in thru the southern border.

I see spies. Everywhere.
lol, wonder if it will reach US MSM,
http://www.n-tv.de/panorama/Risikofaktor-Mensch-article13703926.html
2 days the guy was looking for a hospital, went to presbyterian and was sent home....
brought back 2 days later.....
contained, for sure. quite a lot of opportunities to spread the virus
physical examination amongst drunken people .........
Obama-last president of the USA. First Supreme Ruler...
Looking at the worst case (a virulence/mortality similar to the 1918 Spanish flu) 10s of millions of Americans could die over the next 24 months, and US GDP could shrink 40%ish. Your best survival odds in this worst case scenario involve sheltering in place and relying on your prepper supplies. Limit human contact. Any Federal tyrant might initially try to round people up, but there wont be the will or the manpower past the first 6-9 months. In that period, shoot first if they try to take you away. Unfortunately, a virus that kills millions isn't an 'if' question, but 'when'. We've done OK avoiding world war over the past 70 years, but the odds of this sort of event increase as the human population increases and mass transit grows more efficient. The type of fucked-up government we have is also a contributor. Let's hope the worst-case is purely theoretical. But let's also acknowledge our government is not being frank with us about this risk. They are dissemulating to protect themselves and recent economic activity levels. If you can, lockdown for the next 21 days. The negative consequences of a probability 0.005 event are sufficiently catastrophic that a reasonable person will activate their EMS program.
Just don't blame the Jews.
How many people can YOU infect in 7 days...?? And how many can they infect in the next 7 days...??
It's official.... I'm not taking the subway for the next couple of months.
Where I live doesn't exist on this map...apparently ebola has caused MO to annex s IL.
MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED...GRACIAS MI DIOS!
ebola sucks, jus' sayin'
Time to send our administartion officials on a "fact finding" junket to Africa along with their political supporters.
They don't have a clue how bad this is.....dead bodys floating in the water supply of major slums (even before Ebola).
Stop allowing visitors from hi risk countries to arrive in the USA "unchecked" and keep our armed forces out of harms way - this disease in not your father's clap.
