Texas Governor Rick Perry To Explain How (Despite 2nd Case) Ebola Is "Contained" - Live Feed
With rumors spreading (and seemingly confirmed) of a 2nd Ebola case in Dallas; Texas Governor Rick Perry is set to explain to the American public that it's all under control (despite the hospital discharging the Ebola victim 2 days ago) and the virus is contained (despite its potential spread to 12-18 more people)... Reuters further reports that the man being treated for Ebola in Texas traveled through Brussels en route to US according to the Liberian ministry of information. Rest assured Americans, Dance Moms will be on soon...
As KRJH reports,
A second person in Texas is being monitored for Ebola after coming into close contact with the first person in the U.S. diagnosed, according to health officials.
Gov. Rick Perry has scheduled a news conference at a Dallas hospital where a man with the first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. remains in isolation.
Just now. TX Gov Perry says some children may have had contact with Dallas Ebola patient.They're being monitored for any sign of the disease

Obama-
I ebola'd some folks in Texas......
I'll believe him when he puts armed Texas militia on the border and orders the Texas international hubs to refuse all flights inbound from the hot zones.
If he's wearing his new smart guy glasses, we can rest assured that he knows how to handle the situation.
Like Belgium.
Is this the part where the infected start walking really stiffly and ripping into people?
Or is that after planes start crashing into the streets and things start blowing up for no reason?
What could go wrong?
Ebola will solve itself after it infects everyone in a year or two. That is their plan.
See comments below about how this is precisely what competent epidemiologists feared: Instead of 1 vector who is quarantined (as bad as that would be, not knowing the hundreds/thousands of people they had proximal contact with at airports, in planes, buses, the city in general), we now have 12 Suspected Ebola Vectors in the U.S. (so just multiply that by 10 if you want to be conservative, and anywhere from 45 to 70 if you want to be closer to reality) out there in the Dallas, London (Heathrow airport was a layover for Dallas bound plane), Brussels. etc. "wild."
Boris is love math problem! Please is more!
It is contained.
WASH YOUR HANDS.
Funny you should mention that and I realize the sarc.
It should show you what a bunch of IGNORANT F**KS people are when it comes to germs. They all cough and sneeze left and right without thoroughly covering and distancing themselves from others. Then they wipe their hands on their clothes and want to shake hands with you. They have fevers and show up to work ....f**king morAns.
Stupidity Reigns!!

DaddyO
Finally I may have a use for all this food I bought in 2008...
(YAY)
As if a state governor gets to control its borders or its airports or US visa policy...
Wait until Flu season hits. No one will be able to tell if people have the flu or initial symptoms of ebola. Emergency rooms will be packed and lots of health care "workers" will get it, or they will tell anyone with a fever to stay away from a hospital and call a special telephone number and wait for a truck to come by, pick them up and dispose of.... I mean, "treat" them.
All those plastic coffins and plans for FEMA camps just might come in handy soon. . . .
Next? thing we will hear is that a second 'case' of Ebola is confirmed in the US as a result of the search of people who came in contact with this person from Liberia.
.
Then that opens the door to a wider search as officials begin to search whoever came in contact with this second individual...and then they search those people to0 and so on and so on.
.
Next thing you know - we are all hunted down and searched.
You mean we havn't been already?
WASH YOUR LIPS - OR THIS MAY BE THE TIME TO READ MY LIPS BUT DO NOT KISS THEM

WASH YOUR HANDS.
It is contained in your hands. There....fixed it for ya. ;)
Why is Rick Perry covering for Choomboy? He's like McStain during the campaign trying to out Obama Obama on bailouts.
Why doesn't Perry just refer all questions to the CDC and Whitehouse.
He wants the voting masses to see him looking Presidential.
Because business & tourism take a huge hit from killer viruses.
#AllAboutTheDollar
Perry's handlers should put an electric dog collar on him and buzz him every time he says something stupid. That should boat his poll numbers.
Or electrocute him in short order.
"every time he says something stupid"
There's not enough electricity even in Texas. Doesn't Perry realize how this could make him look? Remember the "experts" talking about how the mortgage crisis was contained in 2007?
knob - I gave you a thunbs up. That was funny.
I dunno. I'm sort of enjoying that "deer in the headlights" look he's wearing.
He wants the voting masses to see him looking Presidential.
When I first read that I thought it was "vomiting asses" instead of "voting masses".
I don't think Perry's going to get the kind of exposure from this that he is looking for.
Saw him give a speech live a few years ago while preparing for his last White House run. For the first 5- 7 minutes it was touch and go, as he lost his train of thought/zoned out for 10-15 seconds at a time, multiple times. Then suddenly, the engine finally warmed up (or the spring was fully wound), and off he went into the land of [relative] eloquence. Good thing that many Texans, particularly outside of the major cities, are a pretty self-reliant bunch, given who is at the helm at the local, state and federal level.
Because Team Red = Team Blue, particularly in times of crisis.
Boris is further to confusing... why is Amerikanski figure of public alway to be so hubris!? Why in free country is telling of irrational lie...? Consider best defense against virulent pathogen is isolation of infected host, is not alert of uninfected host to point of panic not so bad idea? Yet, politician and bureaucrat is only care about maintain order. New World Order? Free Country? Maybe Boris is on to something... but what is Boris know!?
Boris. We may be land of the free and home of the supposed brave. Look at our politicians like Gubbinor Goodhair here. No geniuses.
Keep the good remarks coming!!
I'm with Boris on mining copper.
Build electric fence to keep Zombiski out.
And remember, bring rubber boots and thick leather glove. Also is position opening for stripper with manual agility.
"We may be land of the free and home of the supposed brave."
We are now the "home of the Brave Sir Robin." Hence my handle.
The officials are OBVIOUSLY lying about mode of transmission of virus AND their bold containment claims.
#NotContained
#Probably Transmissible Via Proximal Air (i.e. droplets via coughing, etc.)
I could make the mistake of listening to this garbage.
One of my wife's friends is in that area. My wife called her today and she said the school systems there sent out a list of ebola related items to stock up on over a week ago. So they knew this already.
Of course like every other stupid fucking sheep, my wife's friend did not stock up on anything and only after my wife yelled at her did she realize she should go get some stuff.
Amazing. You know damn good and well if it's in Texas that it's in other densely populated areas as well.
Boris is also want for stocking Ebola Supply. But what is Ebola like for dinner?
It's definitely pickeled.
Yes, all I am hearing is "It's different this time"
Don't panic, the Titanic is unsinkable.
It was the OLYMPIC damn it!
Because Ebola.
Watch this become the new 'excuse de jur' for poor Q4 results.
That is a good point.
Consider this possibility. Imagine how many people that catch a cold (or the flu) this year might panic out of fear that they might have Ebola. Emergency rooms could be swamped with people wanting to be tested for Ebola.
Where are they going to get people to staff the ER? We spend all day wallowing thru human goo as it is.
Keep calm and panic on.
Dupe posting
Did Rick Perry really say the kids who came in contact with the man who tested positive for Ebola are being monitored at home by their parents!?
What? I heard a mention of kids but missed that.
He said the kids are being monitored at home, but didn't say by who.

Just shitting blood right now.Give the maroon a,toilet, break
More American Politician theatre!
We got this coming like a delusional bully in the school yard, most Americans continue to suspend belief on all things related to common sence, rational thinking, and human nature! Of course the ebola victims are coming to America, we fucking announced two months ago we had a god damn vaccine, then showed it off to the world with the saving of "our" two doctors!!
I guess the warped, delusional. nieve, fucked up thinking behind this was........dont let Americans panic, dont let them stop shopping or going to mass gatherings of spending orgies like sporting events and concerts? But like everything human on this planet since the beginning of time, all actions have a reaction, and now if your rich or connected in the hot zones and you feel like you might have it, WTF do you do, go to China or your local hospital, fuck no, you get on a plan and get to America, "where they have a vaccine"!!!!!!!
The EU is smiling its ass off on this one!
.......and right on cue, Perry says, this "patient" is getting the best care on the planet earth, are these people insane?
A 100,000 could have it in Africa right now, if 1% have the means to get to America, because thats their best chance to survive, do your math!!!
This wont be the last "patient" to stumble in an ER! But dont worry, everything is under control!
WHO has a conservative estimate of 1.7 million cases by year end.
With replication giving rise to opportunistic mutations at an exponential rate st this point, and with major urban areas in developing and developed nations affected, along with major transportation modes/hubs, this is very bad.
Word, though is that it is contained in Nigeria with no new cases in over 2 weeks. That is a very good sign. If a health care system on par with Nigeria can contain it, it will probably be OK.
I gotta get me one of them Ebola-toxedos ;-)
Looney
Thankfully the algos aren't human, so they don't have to take profits to buy hazmat suits. Just BTFD.
just want the part where he says 'precious bodily fluids'
It would be nice to hear from some locals (real people - not MSM fucktards) to see how grocery store shelves are doing.
I've been looking for info on that but that topic must be on the no-talk list.
All is calm. No long gas lines. The usual traffic in grocery stores. Nobody buying plastic sheeting and duct tape in the hardware stores.
A non-MSM fucktard
I live in Minnesota. It's starting to get cold, and it will stay cold until April. Anybody with any damn sense is buying plastic sheeting and duct tape. Nothing unusual about it. By November everybody already has all their windows and non-essential doors sealed up. And has done so every autumn since the invention of plastic sheeting and duct tape.
How I know it's on:
When I'm not the only guy in WalMart wearing camo, a suspiciously heavy "man-purse", and pushing 2 shopping carts laden with bottled water.
What sort of camo is most effective in Wal-Mart? I'd think a t-shirt with a gratuitously rude slogan, sweat pants ripped to reveal the lack of undergarments, and Nike slippers with dingy gray sweat socks. Close?
Stuff some really large water balloons under that T-shirt to complete the ensemble! :>D

Poking around I found this Thomas Eric Duncan who some are saying is the sick guy.
https://www.facebook.com/thomaseric.duncan?fref=photo (pictures) I got kicked off of fakebook a long time ago so I'm not an expert but it says he lives in Ghana and is from Liberia.
Thanks for the reports above.
Groceries are still in stock I'd bet but gloves and masks have to be flying off the shelves.
Not sure who's advising him, but he'd do much better to stay quiet and refer all Ebola questions to Obama given Obama is the reason these Ebola fools are allowed to enter the US.
"The infections will continue until morale improves." —Obola
Good news! The ebola dude had a layover in DC on his way back from Liberia
Don't worry. The secret service is in charge of not letting anyone into that Dallas hospital.
Yeah, that does take a load off my mind! :>D
If you had ebola, where would you go first?

2nd case IN DALLAS has heavy significance, as does the fact that Patient Zero may likely not even be the originally diagnosed Ebola Dallas Patient (and may be still out there, non-quarantined, given a big lag in symptoms from time of infection of 5 1/2 to 21 days, depending on individual), and that the Original Dallas Patient did a bunch of plane hopping and airport terminal lingering on his way from Liberia to Dallas -

Damn, 12 American infected from him in 4 days. Bruthuh was only bangin' 3 hoes per day?
*Update - 12 Americans supected to be infected THUS FAR, whether from "Patient Dallas" or real Patient Zero, they have ZERO CLUE. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-10-01/texas-governor-rick-perry-explain-how-despite-2nd-case-ebola-contained-live-feed#comment-5275835
As stated by true experts overtly and in more close circles (I'm speaking about actual, hardcore epidemiologists), once this strain gets out of "the bush" and into densely populated cities, aircraft, airports, etc., exponential is the key world (mutations and replication).
And what was a "3 foot diameter" transmission danger zone via "exchange of bodily fluids (even saliva, mucous, etc.)" is scary enough given the changing environment (i.e. densely populated cities) where Ebola is now replicating with mutations (radically increasing its odds of mutating into an even more easily transmissible form of virus - remember, this is virus that infected people who merely ride in same vehicle or live in same thatched hut as infected person, let alone 2 American Doctors wearing N100 respirators and practicing AMA Standard of Care in dealing with Ebola).
Very informative posts! Our great fear should be mutation. A new population infected offers new genetic materials to mingle. Raising fears of mutations towards easier transmission. An easier transmission would mean all hell breaks loose upon us.
I feel that ebola is being taken way to lightly. It is not present ebola that I fear, it is a new mutation allowing sneeze droplets to carry enough virus load to infect. We are fucked if that happens.
START WORRYING ABOUT STUFF THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET! PANIC NOW AND BEAT THE RUSH!
And the real question is does this EBV have the ability to be carried by naturally immune peeps.
Every time I look at the math on this, something looks hinky. Its been so long since I did any real math
in University I can't see what it is.
Any number theory mathematicians on this board care to look at it ?
The "you cannot catch this without them showing symptoms" and "it's spread only from contact of bodily fluids" meme being repeated over and over, no matter what the news source..
Were patients 1 & 2 gay lovers?
Does anyone else get the impression they are shitting themselves at this point?
Whats the story going to be when 6 more people come foward?
Fun times....
Typhoid Mary was a carrier, not a sufferer, from her disease.
No symptoms, but spread typhoid far and wide.Think about that.
This ebv is prolly mutating fast with this number of hosts.
They don't have a clue, but lying is default in this situation.
Winston, You may have hit upon a huge threat. Can a patient who is immune to developing full blown ebola, still able to transmit the virus to those with no natural immunity. Like Typhoid Mary, that person could spread disease for weeks before it burns out in his immune system.
It's not now thought this virus has aysymptomatic carriers. However, I have seen references that say the virus can rmain in recovering people for as long as 2 months after symptoms fade. It is not thought, though, that these people pose a risk of transmission because only symptomtic indivduals can pass the virus via body fluids. I don't know, seems to me that fluids is fluids, and healthy people have fluids, too, but that is what I read somewhere.
After he was rushed to the hospital, how many other patients did that same ambulance and crew transport and work on? The ebola patient went to the emergency room on his own 2 days before he was admitted and was given a perscription and sent home. How many staff members came in contact? Who sat in the same chair in the waiting room? What about the office people who would have had him fill out paperwork? How about the one who filled the perscription? Or took his money? Yet these assholes stand before the cameras and BS about it being contained. Contained My Ass!
Rick Perry. Jesus Christ ..... that guy makes Dan Quayle look sharp.
We'll know in just a few days whether or not this is going to go "12 Monkeys" or not, I guess.
The very idea that they didn't IMMEDIATELY shut down all incoming flights from infected areas ( hopped flights as well ), or at least order the quarantine of such people, is criminal.
I mean, wtf man?
We did it in Ellis Island for years and nobody had a fucking cow.
You wanna go to an affected area Mr. US citizen? No problem. Sign this waiver that upon your desire to return, you have to submit to mandatory quarantine until such time as you are deemed non-hazardous to the population at large.
That doesn't seem out of the realm of appropriate and I believe still constitutionally palatable.
Of course that's just a piece of paper anyway.
That's why I'm not buying this as an accident. The means by which such a thing could have been avoided are incredibly simple to have followed.
There's definately more going on here.
He just said "officials at every level know what to do".
We're fucked.
Well, at least he said officials and not authorities...
"He just said "officials at every level know what to do".
When in danger, when in doubt.
Run in circles, scream and shout?
Yes !!! A down vote for simple common sense. You almost certainly were educated in our public schools.
Quick, run to the T.V. stud, "Ow, My Balls !" is on.
"12 Monkeys" I love that movie. It requires a bit of fantastical belief to enjoy, but if you accept the sci fi premise of the movie, it is a great film all around.
What does all of this have to do with oil?
"We're gonna be transparent with you, we're gonna be honest with you..."
This is not building confidence for me.
Like how we went from "No doubt" Frieden to the team of "well maybes..." led by Perry in less than 24 hours. When an epdiemiologist uses absolutes, I am afraid. I just don't see how they could be so sure with so many variables. Only time without new cases will make us sure, there really is no other way.
Now we have all kinds of contacts---but no exposures. Just don't say exposure, ok?
Rick Perry is a cheap male whore.
Rick Perry has taken to wearing Annette Bening's black framed eyeglasses in an effort to convince you that he isn't a cheap male whore.
Remain calm....all is well.

Honestly, this is a great way to skip out on work. Call in and tell the boss you were up all night puking and bleeding out your ass and he'll pay you not to come in for a month.
Just cough on the phone at this point.
The panic will only grow exponentially at this point, despite the "assurances" from every government spokespuppet (and who can blame Americans or anyone else for their deep skepticism of the typicaly bullshit flowing from the mouths of the TPTB spokespeople?).
A Chinese man rings his boss, “Me no work I sick.”

Two hours later the Chinese man rings back, “Me better, you got nice house.”
someone lock up the gardasil...He'll use it to cure ebola
Perry's solution wil be to put anyone with ebola on death row. "Lectricity kills them there ebola bugs real good."
In the event of contraction, shoot to kill those you deem responsible?
Ebola death rate of 70%.
I hope he remembers his lines better than he could during the debates.
Is he counting off the number of Ebola cases?
they will quarantine everyone until we all have it
Its national exposure to him..no pun intended....
FBI alert! I just got wind of ISIS's new attack method.
Send ebola victims to USA to lick all glasses at pubs when the drinker isn't looking.
Lick ATM screens and bottle receipt buttons at the can crusher.
And the Social Security / medicare checks. That'll surely please the younger gens.
I have one great reason (three's too hard to remember) to assure fellow Texans that the Ebola count stops at ONE.
Maybe the US federal gov will finally give in to the Texas independence movement now.
Hey Texas, just fake an ebola epidemic and you have a pretext to close your borders. You will gain independence without the federalists in Washington losing face.
Makes you wonder how ebola is potentially used for all kinds of social/societal engeneering in West Africa by our own "darling" elites.
School age children exposed, identified.
Just keep letting people stream across the border unfettered.
Speeches, talk, and information leaflets will solve everything.
Trust the people in white coats, and wool suits and wingtips, they care.
The kids are kept home. The parents stay home.

Trust me GOv Perrry. I wear glasses now so you know I am smart and edumacated. SO what that I couldn't remember three gov't departments to close. Three is a big number!
Doing everthing in their power to ensure public safety? Riiiiight. Cuz that would involve stopping all flights from African nations where Ebola has been confirmed.
This Frieden is a piece of work. He's the one who wanted to tax sodas in New York, leading to the 32 oz soda ban. He's so concerned about your health that he doesn't want you to consume that "bad" larger coke. Now he's dealing with a virus with a 50% mortality rate, and this white knight of health says not to worry, it's no big deal, it's hard to spread, we are 100% prepared, and "ebola is contained."
I wonder if Ebola comes wrapped in a MRAP?
Ebola - almost as dangerous as your very own government.

He instills a lot of confidence, especially when he keeps telling us that they are highly qualified professionals. I feel better now, back to buying the latest iCrap.

Very reassuring.
Doesn't sound like 'family' is isolated.
Individual is categorized as 'serious but stable'.
Nurse did ask if individual traveled to West Africa. He volunteered his travel history. Information was not 'fully communicated', not factored into original clinical assessment.

Not 'fully communicated'? Meaning he told them, "Yeah, I was just in Liberia." but it didn't click for the 'health professionals'?
I don't buy it.
The Director of Dallas County HHS spoke at the CDC press conference yesterday and sounded just like the mush-mouthed former mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin. After visiting their website, I'm not very optimistic that local officials are "equipped" to handle this emergency.

Original symptoms on Friday visit: fever and abdominal pain.
The dumbing down of the work force has a few drawbacks...
Five students across four different schools. None have symptoms. Staffing those schools with 'additional health professionals'. Additional custodial staff.
