i'm always surprised by how people involuntarily grab escaltor rails as soon as they step on. inside i scream, don't touch it! oh GEEZUS! there is so much FECES on those rails...
Uh, oh…
For this exercise you’ll need:
1 empty dish liquid bottle – the squirty kind
1 bag Three Musketeers fun size
artificial blood*
Once you’ve obtained the above head on over to your local International. Bundle a wad of TP and toss into commode. Follow up with one or two fun size Three Musketeers. For good measure add one slice of TP over top. Then tap out 6 OZ artificial blood as a chaser. Do not flush. Move on.

I'm still waiting for the Bird and Swine flu epidemincs.
What is the difference between swine flu and bird flu?
For one you get oink-ment and the other you get tweet-ment.
I find both pigs and birds to be delicious. Ate at a pig roast last week, and enoyed a plate of doves this evening. Yum.
Just had some leftover dove breasts. Marinated in bourbon, apricot jam, and black pepper. Grilled, wrapped in bacon unitl smokey and tender. The end of the world has been quite delicioius. Keep it coming.
Hey, don't down-vote me. I'm happy to share my dove breast recipe!
Ever thought about sharing something that adds value to these boards even if in refutation? All you do is bandy about ad hominem attacks and futile attempts at what you believe is humor. I'm sure you'll call me a name, check my grammar for errors or other obfuscations, but the fact is you add nothing. This is my last address of your textual putressance. I will not read your "comments" and I will scroll past to lose no more time on you.
When Americans realize that Liberalism is a psychological condition then maybe they will begin electing those who will protect and defend our common values on security. Economic security, physical security etc...
What the fuck are you trying to say?
COSTCO run. They have cheap non-latex gloves, roughly $20/two-box, medium size.
Relatively cheap and still available.

The fuck up's thus far have been monumental. In fact beyond surreal from a professional standpoint and that is not just this incident.
Interesting when lies and illusions dominate the public arena, everything starts going dysfunctional.
So basically if you are a citizen of some country in the Ebola zone and come in contact with it you can lie at the airport and fly into the US and get millions of dollars of care, free, or you can stay where you are and die?
Pretty much, yes.
He flew in from brussels, their fault not yours.
CDC estimates that from the 1976-1977 season to the 2006-2007 flu season, flu-associated deaths ranged from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people. Isn't it contagious, quite so in fact and very dependent on the strain each outbreak?

America ain't ready for any shit that's about to come down.
FDA and DHS have millions of rounds of ammo. That sounds ready.
I can remember when Obama banned US flights to Isreal over the Gaza crap for "public safety", not so much this time.

Ummm....is anyone keeping track of which horseman we're on?
Let's see: Conquest, War, Famine and Death. The first two are pretty much riding around in the ME on their own right now. This one is probably the fourth so why is Famine draggin' his skinny ass?
Some see the first horseman as Pestilence which would also be a natural fit here.
Famine...just waiting for the fed to raise rates.....he's in the chute....
I'm stealing that line, chump.
Obama administration is still working hard on building a reliable ACA Health-care website.
Sorry, I have to ask. Is Ebola a covered ailment ? or do I need to go to many doctors offices to get finally pre-approved, after many days of taxicabs, ambulances, and bathroom breaks ? Or just go visit many ERs ?
Funny. We are leaving MB Sunday. Have a neurological dipshit giving me a consultation service next Tuesday in Charleston SC (spine surgery). Been waiting over a month to take the next step. If this was a terminal life threatening event, would be dead by now.
I'm not even in the ObamaCare Death panel coverage.
The interview by CNN of the Dallas County Health Administrator backs up why our government is incompetent.

Complete CYA, don't-ask-us-questions, trust-us, we-are-handling-it..
You posted "our government." Does that mean you live in Dallas county?
"Just Us" will be fine. The rest, not so much.
Just think of all the "issues" causing problems for "Just Us" and their government minions that will be solved by eliminating 100 million+ American citizens.
Then their statements and actions make a lot more sense.

What makes it tragic is that you actually don't know it yet. That's what also makes you a clown.
Such is irony.
not sure why the pc newbie crowd have such disgust for you, tony.

Now if I was in charge of the CDC, within hours of this guy being diagnosed with Ebola, I would have had a team of trained Level 4 lab technicians in Level 4 biohazard suits going through the apartment and taking multiple samples/swaps starting with the bed and working outwards throughout the entire apartment. This would be an opportunity to see how the virus travels in a contained space, the extent and density of the viral population and probably many other metrics that would provide valuable information on this killer. Was any of this done? I doubt it. I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say: "The CDC seems to be nothing more than moronic bureaucrats with a Dr. in front of their names." This severely pisses me off...
FEMA taught them everything they know.
There you go thinking, Timmy.
You must realize our bureaucrats *transcend* thought.
spot on, you called ebola a killer. for perspective, if a person (may it never) harmed a law enforcement personel you would see multi-state police agency mobilization, with involvement of the National Guard. And we should see this swift aggressive mobilization.
ebola is a much greater threat to law and order. it demands a much greater and more agressive response than other threats.
if we thought of it as an invisible, indiscriminate, serial killer who is about to be in our neighborhood, then maybe people could get there head around the concept of ebola.
That is....if THEY wanted to prevent it....
That only happens in the movies.
In real life it's always Murphy's Law and SNAFU.
"Most ebola victims in the west will feel too guilty to be able to take anytime off of work when they will feel ill. "
Come and visit the boss, cough a few time and throw up in his office so you don't feel as guilty. He can do that to his boss when he gets sick and move it up the chain of command.
Let me just say this:
I am an independent contractor that does commercial cleaning .... I ain't bidding THAT shit/vomit !!!!!!
I don' blame you. I wonder if these two guys with the pressure washer even understand what they're dealing with.
They will figure it out.
'Hey man, why's my ass bleeding uncontrollably?'
It's bunkertime.
If you listen to the experts, a principal reason we have little to fear is that America is not a third world country, like those in the Ebola zone.
Implied in those words is the idea we are smarter. Yet every non-decision we've watched surrounding the start of this outbreak proves we (at least, our leaders) are not. And furthermore, this nation is demonstrating all the dysfunctional responses of a third-world nation.
I fully expect the day will come shortly when people will be screaming at the politicians asking why they didn't react like this was a real emergency.
Flights still continue from the hot zone. More sick will come when they hear the best treatments available are provided by US taxpayers, at no cost.
"Implied in those words is the idea we are smarter."
We've elected GW Bush to two terms, and now Barry Oblunder for two terms, this all following that Hillbilly Clinton and his screaming banshee wife....we are not smarter.
l-)
wow, guess the grass in front of those apartments was not Ebola Ready.
Pleased to Meet You. Hope You Guessed My Name!
Forget eating at the buffet for awhile. In fact, forget eating out AT ALL for a long time.
My brother brought over a massive load of dried beans, rice, oat, etc for us yesterday. He said, "just in case you can't go out for awhile."
However, what happens if the water supply goes out? As long as it keeps running you can boil it [as long as gas/electricity companies stay open]
WE'RE READY FOR AN EBOLA CURE.
EBOLA CURE. Did you guys ever go through with it?
No for reals.
I hate how this country induces a scare like ebola, in the same way the idiots did 9/11 which was to go out of their way to create panic, and how people egg it on. It's beyond irritating.
There IS a protein that combats stomach bugs in human breast milk?

not even sure its ebola??
Marburg virus
this idea is getting some traction
This is very bad.
Doctors without borders has failed and it's out of control.
Every person that is infected are infecting two more on average, and one of those in 14 days on average. It's said to be spread by blood and liquids but the victims looks like to be quite effective in spreading their blood and liquids...
If there are any cases anyware even remotley close to home (it is and will be underreported) I'll make sure my family will minimalize contact with other people and spread the word. If it get's worse we'll just get off the map completly.
Great job, Brownie!
SMOKING GUN? US DOD contracted with Tekmira in December 2013 to begin clinical trials on Humans of Ebola Drug in First Quarter 2014. It is believed this was conducted in Africa. This link is from 2013. It says it was a more powerful drug. The outbreak began in January 2014.

That's right, you're guessing.
Not all americans are as stupid as you seem to believe.
That is funny! ROFL!
Yes, yes they are.
Considering that we dont know, with certainty, how long the virus remains communicable in vomit, your comments seems pretty fucking stupid.
But hey, its just a virus with 50%+ mortality rate, so like, its no big deal. Keep it up captain fucking ignorant.
Approx 4 hours in the open air, do some fukkin resarch dude, and yet you call me ignorant.
And find me the source for the vomiting, i am too dumb to find it myself, almost as if its from some loon on a single site without a verifying/corroborating source........
Vomit is not open air.
And the link to your source for the vomit?
Just like you wont do my homework with your bullshit 4 hours in the "open air" I'm not doing your homework to find the news article where they specify that he was puking on the sidewalk before he got in the ambulance. The difference is that I'm not making shit up. Good luck.
Data. you should look it up in the dictionary.
But seriously, i believe you, after all your a random poster on the internet, what you say must be true.......
Did you hear about the vomit from a guy you met in a bar?
There is plenty of information on this thread alone, that could answer your questions. But you're just an intellectually lazy internet troll. Go fucking play in some Mr Duncan- 5 hour old- "suspended in air"- vomit, its undoubtedly safe.

Communicability 2-21 days
Vectors unknown as per Dept Health Canada.
It's your nonchalance and lack of heed that will get people killed and spread this thing. It has a kill rate of 50-90% with no known treatment so if you'll excuse me and the other "worry warts" FUCK YOU Mr Member 39 weeks.
agreed. information without context is hard to evaluate.

Remember when the country had a Surgeon General like C. Everett Koop that the people actually had confidence in? Who is the current Surgeon general and where is he?
What a great, and obvious, question!
Seem this article is blaming the NRA and government grid lock...
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/the-nra-making-the-ebola-crisis-worse
Koop was the person that told eveyone to cut back on their fat consumption which would reduce artherosclerosis.
We now know this to be complete nonsense. He was just another parrot for the food industries.
Nobody from the academic medical community will openly criticize Fauci, or any of these guys because they are the one's giving out the NIH grant candy. Nobody wants to jepordize their NIH grant. The whole country is corrupt with government cash. So we are going to hear group think and spin rather than open debate. Washington is definetely sugarcoating the risks and they know it. The response to the Dallas case has not inspired confidence, it's done the opposite. The fact that we have no travel restrictions from West Africa, or no international response to isolate that region is very troubling.
If I were a cynic I would say the family has been flown to an isolation facility like the NIH has in Rockville, Maryland. If another family member develops Ebola we will never hear about it UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTIONS.
Seems the definition of "several" has changed.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/dallas-ebola-case-...
"Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, which has treated several Ebola patients who were flown from West Africa, also has provided information and advice to dozens of hospitals, many of which are struggling with a lack of awareness about safety protocols and fear among some workers who feel ill-prepared. Washington-area health officials also said they are trying to identify gaps in their preparedness plans."
Have there been more than the two missionary medical folks or does several now mean more than one?
Don't Ebola me bro!
OK, so the magnanimous USG doesn't care what the cat drags in after it leaves the door open. Question is, when does the rest of the uninfected world slam the door shut on flights departing the US?
These assholes will continued to roll out the public relations flacks right up until the moment that they use it to declare martial law, suspend civil liberties AND suspend elections as such crowds gathering at the polls would be an unacceptable threat vector for spreading the disease. Welcome to The United Ebola States of America. Hazmat suits and submicron filters for the elites, dust masks for the rest of us.
So "freedom to return" means health care workers being able to return from an infected region without spending three weeks in quarantine in an adjacent country free of the virus? Three weeks in which they could be writing up reports and advising recently-arrived health care workers by telephone and Internet. What kind of health care worker would want to skip the quarantine?
just listened to the idiot head of CDC just now, he acknowledged public response to this case of ebola wants restrictions - but " we cannot infringe on the right of american citizens and OTHERS have the right to come to America"..absurd priorities make for absurd decisions..in other words no restrictions on flights from central africa, no quarantine nothing.

The CDC is getting their marching orders from a sub-basement at Goldman Sachs.
Hile Blankein !
Well, I think sending 3k troops (soon to be 4k?) to the oil rich area of ebola affected west Africa is a major clue. Ebola is likely a planned mic/intel op. Calling your own nation a bioterrorist is unpleasant, but believing that this is all an innocent development, like the Arab Spring revolts and the Ukie uprising is even less palatable. If the ruthless kleptocracy really wanted to protect its 'folks' from ebola, they wouldn't leave air travel from west Africa and the borders so vulnerable. It looks, walks, and quacks like a duck, because that's what it is. Ignore the incompetency smoke screen and follow the money trail, as always. Not that there's any difference, but the Obola team can kiss the upper house bye. It's again all another "fringe/lunatic conspiracy theory," until it's not anyway. Long evil fascism/desperate deep state intel machiavellian machinations.
“Conspiracy theory” is a term that at once strikes fear and anxiety in the hearts of most every public figure, particularly journalists and academics. Since the 1960s the label has become a disciplinary device that has been overwhelmingly effective in defining certain events off limits to inquiry or debate. Especially in the United States raising legitimate questions about dubious official narratives destined to inform public opinion (and thereby public policy) is a major thought crime that must be cauterized from the public psyche at all costs."

I almost seems as if the U.S. Gov't is TRYING to bring EBOLA to the USA.
Why not prohibit every flights from Africa for starts?
Why is the Gov't, specifically The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), hiding a cure of Ebola that was developed by Biocryst?
Why is the Gov't using an alternative treatment, ZMAPP, which is difficult to make, has already run out of doses and while take another.year to make another batch?
I'll be buying long dated calls tomorrow because BioCyrst and the NIAID have been working, for years, to make enough doses to supply US military personnel.
In a March, 2014 paper published in the journal Nature, where Dr. Babu is a co-author, the majority of the other co-authors were from the Division of Molecular and Translational Sciences, Therapeutic Discovery Center, United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). The team was led by the well-regarded virologist, Dr. Sina Bavari. Previous inquiries have been made to interview Dr. Bavari but are being denied by communications staff.
The Nature paper demonstrated that BCX-4430 given after a viral challenge could stop Ebola and related Marburg infections from taking hold in rodents. Most notably, BCX-4430 given 48 hours after Marburg virus infection confers complete protection to cynmologous monkeys.
So, unlike with a vaccine, BCX-4430 is being developed as a post-exposure measure for hose in environments where conditions are conducive to accidental viral exposure.
USARMIID personnel are essential to these drug development efforts because of thie tremendous institutional expertise, particularly in rodent and non-human primate studies with biosafety level-4 viruses.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) had already committed $22 million over five years to the Biocryst project, when all operations are exercised. An recent infusion of an additional $2.4 million brings that commitment up to $24.4 million.
Much of the press regarding Ebola treatment has focused on passive immunotherapy agents, such as Mapp Biopharmaceutical’s ZMapp, vaccines from private and public entities, and small RNA drugs from companies such as Tekmira and Sarepta.
Biocryst’s BCX-4430 is a much smaller molecule intended for broad spectrum anti-viral use, described by the company as “an RNA dependent-RNA polymerase inhibitor that has demonstrated broad-spectrum activity against more than 20 RNA viruses in nine different families, including filoviruses, togaviruses, bunyaviruses, arenaviruses, paramyxoviruses, coronaviruses and flaviviruses.”
Their goal is to develop the drug under FDA’s Animal Rule that permits non-human primate efficacy and safety studies for conditional approval as phase I human trials proceed.
The only other company widely publicized as a player in the small-miolecule Ebola space is Toyama, a subsidiary of Fujifilm. Their drug, favipiravir, or T-705, has been approved in Japan to treat influenza, a virus that, like Ebola, has a genome made of RNA.
For those readers with medicinal chemistry interests, the supplementary material for the Nature paper contains the synthetic procedure and a more detailed description of the assays. A rudimentary description of BCX-4430 would be to say that it’s an adenosine analogue where ribose is replaced by a pyrrolidine.
