CDC Releases Q&A On Ebola In America As Rumors Swirl Of Second US Case
Dallas County Health Officials earlier noted at least one person who had been in contact with the first US ebola patient was also being tested for the deasdly virus. They subsequently backed off that statement (oddly). Governor Rick Perry will be holding a press conference later today to calm the public we are sure, but in the meantime, the CDC has issued a helpful Q&A to ensure Americans continued to fly, spend, and consume at their leisure and don't worry about the plague...
Rumors conmtinue to swirl of a 2nd case...
More color on the second case...
Health officials are closely monitoring a possible second Ebola patient who had close contact with the first patient to be diagnosed in the U.S., the director of Dallas County’s health department said Wednesday.
All who have been in close contact with the diagnosed patient are being monitored as a precaution, said Zachary Thompson, director of Dallas County Health and Human Services.
“Let me be real frank to the Dallas County residents: The fact that we have one confirmed case, there may be another case that is a close associate with this particular patient,” he said. “So this is real. There should be a concern, but it’s contained to the specific family members and close friends at this moment.”
And The CDC issues a Q&A on Ebola in America... (via AP)
U.S. health officials have warned for months that someone infected with Ebola could unknowingly carry the virus to this country, and there is word now that it has happened: A traveler in a Dallas hospital became the first patient diagnosed in the U.S.
Texas health officials said there were no other suspected cases in the state, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention immediately sought to calm fears that one case would spread widely.
"Ebola can be scary. But there's all the difference in the world between the U.S. and parts of Africa where Ebola is spreading," CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said, stressing that U.S. health workers know how to control the virus.
"There is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here," he told a news conference in Atlanta on Tuesday.
Some questions and answers about the case:
Q: Where did the traveler come from?
A: Liberia, the hardest-hit country in the West African epidemic. The patient left on Sept. 19 and arrived in the U.S. on Sept. 20 to visit family. Frieden wouldn't release the man's nationality or other identifying information, and didn't know how he became infected.
Q: When did the patient get sick?
A: Last Wednesday, and he initially sought care two days later. He was released but returned Sunday when his condition worsened and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital discovered the West Africa connection, admitting him under strict isolation. Tests confirmed Ebola on Tuesday.
Q: How does Ebola spread?
A: Only through close contact with the bodily fluids of someone who has symptoms, such as fever, vomiting and diarrhea. People aren't contagious until symptoms begin. And Ebola cannot spread through the air.
Q: So who's at risk?
A: Texas health officials already have begun tracking down those close contacts, believed to be mostly the relatives the man stayed with. Officials will check them for symptoms every day for 21 days. Frieden said only about a handful of people are believed to have been exposed.
Q: Could Ebola have spread on the airplane?
A: No, Frieden said, because the man wasn't sick then. The CDC said there is no need to monitor anyone else on those flights and didn't reveal flight information.
Q: Will the patient stay in Dallas?
A: Frieden said there's no need to transfer the man to one of those special isolation units that have gotten so much attention for treating four American aid workers who caught Ebola while volunteering in West Africa. Most hospitals can follow the necessary infection control for Ebola, Frieden said, and the Dallas hospital said it was "well prepared" to safely treat this newest case.
As for those other patients, three have recovered; the fourth remains hospitalized in Atlanta.
Q: How will this patient be treated?
A: Good hydration and IV nutrition have proven to be key for those other patients. Frieden said the hospital was discussing experimental treatments. A Tekmira Pharmaceuticals drug called TKM-Ebola and blood transfusions from an Ebola survivor were given to one of the recently infected U.S. aid workers.
Q: Could there be more travelers with Ebola?
A: No one's ruling it out. People boarding planes in the outbreak zone are checked for fever, but that does not guarantee that an infected person won't get through.
Airlines are required to report any deaths on a flight or ill travelers meeting certain criteria to the CDC before arriving in the U.S. If a traveler is infectious or exhibiting symptoms during or after a flight, the CDC will conduct an investigation of exposed travelers and take any necessary public health action.
Q: What if I'm worried about exposure?
A: Call the CDC for more information at 800-CDC-INFO (800-232-4636).

Dallas Ebola Victim Likely Acquired His Infection During Flight -YouTube

Check out CDC timeline for median time first symptoms appear 5.5 days from time of contraction of Ebola virus.
Do the math given the time of the Dallas patient's flight itinerary from Africa to U.S., and presentation of first symptoms.
This guy in video uses timeline & CDC's own data (median 5.5 day period between contraction & 1 st symptoms) demonstrate greater than 50% likelihood Dallas Ebola patient was infected during flight to U.S., meaning there is at least one more (and likely more than one more - given 17 1/2 hour flight) infected person on flight.
And think about this; assuming CDC could successfully track each possible person exposed to "Patient Dallas," it takes quarantine room & average of 25 properly (standard of care & containment) vetted health workers to monitor, treat and/or keep person isolated.
problem with the video - it is now October 1st, and by the data we should have had the hypothetical first infected person on the flight either in hospital or dead by now. The absence or reporting is not proof, but there is no reporting to indicated the scenario in the video, so given the passage of time, it is not likely.
1) Assuming "Dallas Patient" is not patient zero on flight, CDC hasn't tracked Patient Zero (or admitted it).
2) Median delay between contraction of Ebola virus and onset of symptoms is 5 1/2 delays; this can range all the way to 21 days. Theoretically, Patient Zero could display symptoms well after "Dallas Patient" has/did.
Signs and symptoms of flu
People who have the flu often feel some or all of these signs and symptoms:
Symptoms of Ebola include
Are they going to quarantine everyone with flu symptoms?
3) Close contact sufficient to transmit Ebola Virus is a 3 foot diameter, and chances of transmission with that proximity or closer increase statistically with time. Flight on commercial airliner from Africa to U.S. Is close to 20 hours without any stop-overs.
His flight details, nationality and origin should be made public by now. They still think they're in charge of this. Stupid assholes.
Regardless, if people here haven't already done it, now's the time to cut sugar out of your diet and add oregano and garlic to it. The best defense against any virus is an immune system that's strong at the time of exposure. No one can force you to make those decisions now, but waiting to strengthen your immune system until after infection is very unwise.

Tekmira Pharmaceuticals up 17% today. Thanks for the plug CDC! (How much Tekmira do you own, Frieden?????)
depending on how you look at it, it's actually down a buck from the open this morning. Those big gains were carried over from AH yesterday.
I call those "Armageddon trades"
I am not an expert. I was not first on ebola in the USA. But I did see how our President Obama was either asleep at the switch or just allowed this in... Ebola is deadly!
From August 4, but I still do not see the possibilities being discussed of MOAR Ebola due to our open border along Mexico. Thanks, Obama.
"President Ebola"
http://goo.gl/z7Oron
PRESIDENT EBOLA!
said "IT'S OBAMA'S FAULT!"
According to news reports the Dallas ebola victim had no contact with any person in Liberia afflicted with ebola. The victim only had contact with "healthy" folks and did not engage in an exchange of precious bodily fluids, or lick eyeballs, or finger paint with bloody vomit.
Yet he somehow contracted ebola.
This fact would appear to suggesst that there is some means of infection which does not require the presence of visible signs of ebola infection. Persons who appear to be in all respects "normal" and healthy may transfer the virus.
If this is proved true then those persons who associated with the Dallas victim prior to his symptoms becoming apparent may also be at risk of infection. This would include the passngers of the various flights that brought him from Libera to Dallas, including all of the likely brush contacts made as he moved through the crowded air transit terminals.
You're just trying to cause panic. The nice gentleman from the CDC said there was nothing to worry about, and that government health officials had everything under control...
Unfortunately, local DFW news said the CDC statements are intended to prevent panic. The ambulance crew who took the infected man to the hospital is bein quarantined/isolated for 21 days. The local Liberian community held a meeting last night, despite being told not to gather in large groups
And, this Ebola case is a nice destruction from the Central American respiratory virus infecting our school children across the nation.
Forward (over the cliff)!
If prevention is as simple as washing your hands can someone explain to me how any medical professionals working in the hot zone ever caught this disease with all the precautions they must have been taking?
google some images of bush hospitals in Africa and you understand why.
Are West Africans known for their honesty?
He was prolly bangin' a dozen hoes erry day. Each hoe was also gettin' split by a dozen other brothaz, some of whom were 'working' at the local fast food restaurants, takin' ice out da ben. When the CDC director says 'We got this', he fails to account for a universal truth. Bruthaz gonna bang hoes, hoes gonna hoe, and thez gonna serve icy cold drinks at fast food restaurants.
Ponder this for a moment, Bear in mind how many flights that same jet has taken since then with people on board now potentially infected. Do the math. Chilling.
I have no idea what the situation is like in the US but if you turn up at A&E in the UK unless it looks like you've had a stroke, a heart attack, or will bleed to death you typically spend a few hours waiting to be seen. How many triage nurses, doctors and reception staff might he have infected at the hospital itself? He was obviously contagious when he made his way there, which could have been by bus/taxi.
Given global economy is on its knees, collectively our leaders are hoping this goes away rather than damage any growth by quarantining anyone that does require overseas travel long enough to ensure this can't spread. At the time of the Spanish flu epidemic in 1918 most international travel was by boat and the journey time itself would have exposed the symptom-less sick. This could be far worse because we all travel more, and faster.
This is my convern for the vector - the emergency room waiting area. I have not seen a report, but I assume he initially presented to an emergency room during the visit when he was sent away. These are often, though not always, crowed with sick people waiting to be seen. Lots of runny noses, tears, etc., that is, lot of body fluids being spread around in close proximity, and because they are uncomfortable, people get up and move from chair to chair to find a place that feels better. And yet the CDC is not saying anything about tracing these folks. Perhaps they are, but they are not saying, as far as I can tell.
12 - 18 people
maybe 19 - 35 ?
random shit they make up
I'm still not convinced of an airborne strain although I wouldn't rule it out. Assuming that is true.....
.....my guess would be food contamination as the vector in which he received the virus.
Odd... I must have missed the part where you said what you would have done to prevent Ebola spreading to the US. Are you advocating for a Berlin-style wall along the southern border with a refusal of entry for anyone who has travelled to West Africa in the past three weeks? I haven't heard any proposals or debate about limiting travel into the US due to Ebola.
Likewise I have heard nothing about limiting travel to the USA. I am not sure what is feasible (say, travel to the USA via Paris...).
Controling the southern border, at least better than we are now, would lessen the risks of ebola coming in via Mexico.
I mentioned that I am no expert. I do believe we have a massive and dangerous failure of leadership at the very top. Nor do I see ObamaCare helping this or..., anything.
But Ebola is on the north side of the border, no confirmed cases in Central/South America. Sounds like Mexico should be building the fence...
The airplane vector is the scariest. And I think our leaders aren't doing the safe thing (shutting down travel from W. Africa) for fear of upsetting airlines and disrupting global trade when every market is on a hair trigger anyways. So yeah, we might all die from greed, essentially. Could it really be another way?
good to see you, dochen.
Just imagine the panick when it rises another 50% in the comming weeks/moths/years....
That's 150% when you factor in seasonal adjustments.
and when will they launch the Ebola ETF and the Ebola Turbo Long ETF???
Would be funny to launch the 100x leveraged 'DOOM' ETF. Use the system's fraud to bring down the system. I gotta tail, and I can wag that dog.
The next 72 hours will be the litmust test... Honestly though I'm not worried about the 1st patient. There is a lot of man power to contact trace this patient. I'm worried about patient #25, when EVD in the U.S. isn't even news worthy anymore and everyon's moved onto the next NFL flub. You know, when cold and flu season is at it's peak. That's when it could really do some damage.
I'm sorry. I didn't know the virus incubated for less than 72 hours. I thought it was 2-3 weeks.
Within 72 hours we should see other people that he infected (after he became "hot") start showing up sick themselves. If there are no further patients in 72 hours we should be OK.
If there are more people that he got sick, that are right now spreading the virus, God help us.
Most patients start to show symptoms within 5-7 days. Sone take as long as 14 days. Anyone that was infected will be in the peak period over the next 72 hours. Either new cases show up, or they don't.
Of the 12-15 people he had close contact with are clear, we'll most likely know soon. The big problem was he was symptomatic and sent home then returned to the hospital when his condition worsened. They didn't treat him as an Ebola patient until after they found out he had been to Africa.
Duplicate post, my bad.
I've been running models all day on my Bitcoin supercomputers and the results are in. We will have 47.89 trillion people infected by Christmas! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

Question to CDC: Am I going to die from Ebola?
CDC: Ask the Obama death panel to see if they have your name on THE LIST.
"There is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here," he told a news conference in Atlanta on Tuesday."
LOL!!!
They meant they could stop that one guy (who is likely going nowhere but into the ground). The overall spread of the disease, not so much. Details, baby. Details. Like what the meaning of the word 'is' is.
The detail that I want to know is how do they define close contact.
He went to a hospital and presumably touched handrails, lift buttons, waiting room seats and counters; perhaps also used the rest room. Presumably his symptoms included sweaty hands (and buttocks on the toilet seat).
So is anybody who touched any of those surfaces within a few minutes now identified? Especially as they are probably people in poor health/weak immune systems (it was a hospital after all with lots of sick people) and perfect to catch anything going around a waiting room (a disease incubator).
Close contact: Can you see them from where you are? You're close.
What's really the topper is how everyone is relaxing in the thought that only direct contact with infected blood/feces can lead to infection. OK, you're good as long as you dont purchase any ice-laden drinks from restaurants.

Check this out:
SURVIVAL OUTSIDE HOST: Filoviruses have been reported capable to survive for weeks in blood and can also survive on contaminated surfaces, particularly at low temperatures (4°C) Footnote52 Footnote61. One study could not recover any Ebolavirus from experimentally contaminated surfaces (plastic, metal or glass) at room temperature Footnote61. In another study, Ebolavirus dried onto glass, polymeric silicone rubber, or painted aluminum alloy is able to survive in the dark for several hours under ambient conditions (between 20 and 250C and 30–40% relative humidity) (amount of virus reduced to 37% after 15.4 hours), but is less stable than some other viral hemorrhagic fevers (Lassa) Footnote53. When dried in tissue culture media onto glass and stored at 4 °C, Zaire ebolavirus survived for over 50 days Footnote61. This information is based on experimental findings only and not based on observations in nature. This information is intended to be used to support local risk assessments in a laboratory setting.
A study on transmission of ebolavirus from fomites in an isolation ward concludes that the risk of transmission is low when recommended infection control guidelines for viral hemorrhagic fevers are followed Footnote64. Infection control protocols included decontamination of floors with 0.5% bleach daily and decontamination of visibly contaminated surfaces with 0.05% bleach as necessary.

When the 1918 flu epidemic hit my grandmother was a young wife with a baby, and she lost her entire family. Her husband and child died within a week of each other. Think about the implications of that. If its not stopped this will become personal for all of us, and those of us who survive will each eat our hearts for grief. When a species overpopulates a disease comes along to thin them out. This is how nature handles that; otherwise, the world would be overrun with rabits. I'm not an epidemiologist, but I've read enough history and science to understand how these things happen. Their belief that they can stop it is hubris - if this is not the disease there is another one in our future. If this is the one, once it breaks out in ernest they are going to do terrible things to try and stop the unstoppable. Failing that, they are going to do terrible things to cover up their culpability. They have taken a terrible risk with all our lives for the sake of the economy, and commerce is deadly in times of plague. The black death traveled along the Silk Road. I only heard my grandmother speak about the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic once. She said that whole year went by in a blur for her, and she didn't remember many details, but it was winter, and they couldn't bury the dead because the ground was frozen. Her father's property was close to the funeral home, so they stored the community's dead in his barn.

Q: Could Ebola have spread on the airplane?
A: No, Frieden said, because the man wasn't sick then. The CDC said there is no need to monitor anyone else on those flights and didn't reveal flight information.
These fuckers lie throught their teeth. I have an idea, stop any flights out of and into our country from those shitholes.
How we know that this person didn't get it from someone else on the plane?
"These fuckers lie throught their teeth."
Just think what would happen if they told the truth. Airline flights would drop.
It's all about the money, not what what they should do.
BINGO
About a month or so ago I examined the CDC webpages on Ebola. They were being frequently updated and it looks like they still are being changed now. Anyway they added something to the effect of "Ebola could be transmitted by contact with an infected person" marked with an asterisk. The small print stated contact included being within 3 feet of said person for a period of time. I checked those pages today and they have removed any mention of the 3 foot guideline. I think they are more concerned with the P.R. effects of what they say than the actual science.
Studies have shown restaurant ice chests are full of bacteria, including fecal bacteria. You dont need to believe in airborne transmission to get REAL scared. . .
I'd suggest in the next 3 weeks, pretend you're in Mexico when you order @ the restaurant.

"""Q: Could Ebola have spread on the airplane?
A: No, Frieden said, because the man wasn't sick then. The CDC said there is no need to monitor anyone else on those flights and didn't reveal flight information."""
Correct Answer: If the patient (who told us he was not sick until after the flight) is being truthful then there is little risk to those on the flights. If he is lying and was sick then there may be some need to monitor those travelers. Prudent action dictates that we track them down and monitor them to be sure rather than relying on the word of some scared ebola patient that may be just trying to get into better hospital care for the very deadly disease.

I sure hope they are tracking all of these people down on the sly. If they openly disclosed that they're looking for all the people on the flight and tracking them, you'd have panic in a hot second....

"we've gone exponential, 100% increase in 24 hours...oh dear lord"
Yes, it's an exponential disease. Just watch what it does to demand and consumerism.
Hospitals and healthcare will be overwhelmed. The modern day black death.
So ebola is in and around Dallas. What behavioral changes do you make when you live in and around Dallas?
Stop eating out and buying fast food. You have no idea of the state of health of the people preparing your food. Best to avoid it all together and pack your own lunch to work.
Need to gas up your car? Don't pay in cash but pay at the pump and pump you gas while using disposable latex gloves. Everyone around you may look at you funny until their lightbulb goes off and they understand why you are doing that and realize they should be doing it too.
I'm sure that there are many more ways our behaviours are going to change but these two are the first that come to mind.
I hear that the Ebola Burgers in Dallas are just to die for !!!
Fuck it, I'm gonna move to Dallas and sell me some Nitrile gloves.

I'm not in Dallas (I'm in Sydney Australia) and as Sydney is the international gateway to Australia it will likely be the first city on this continent hit if ebola spreads globally.
So I've already started my just in case preps. Each week I buy what I normally buy monthly in canned and dried goods. If nothing happens then I won't have to do much shopping for a while, if somrthing happens then I'm ahead of the panic buying.
That is the attitude most of us should be taking before our city is another Dallas. If there are more confirmed cases in Dallas then we will soon see how long before the panic buying starts
I'm aware that it will be tough, but all ZHers should immediately refrain from eating bush meat from developing nations, especially those where Ebola virus has been found.

meh... just dribble a little of the gas on your hands and scrub vigorously. That should keep you safe.
Yeah, cuz when you light up a smoke while driving away, the flash will kill all viruses.
