Spanish Ebola-Infected Nurse Is First Case Of Contagion Out Of Africa; Salzburg Activates Ebola Emergency Response
By now it should be clear to everyone that any myth that the Ebola epidemic, which has clearly gone global, is contained is about as real as the S&P 500 at 2000. And if it isn't, the latest confirmation came moments ago from BBC which reports that a Spanish nurse who treated an Ebola victim in Madrid has contracted the virus herself in the first case of contagion outside Africa, health officials say. What is different about this case is that the nurse contracted the virus in Madrid while she was part of the team that treated Spanish priest Manuel Garcia Viejo, who died of Ebola on 25 September, despite being treated with the same drug regiment that previous is said to have worked on US Ebola patients.
The priest died in the hospital Carlos III de Madrid after catching Ebola in Sierra Leone. He was the second: another Spanish priest, Miguel Pajares, died in August after contracting the virus in Liberia.
The nurse was admitted to hospital on Monday morning with a high fever, Spanish newspaper El Pais said. Doctors isolated the emergency treatment room, the report said.
Once again questions emerge just how the virus is transmitted, because if the nurse, who obviously took every possible precation against the world's most dangerous virus that is supposedly non-airborne, contracted it, then it clearly leads to speculation that Ebola may be transmitted by means other than what the population is being told.
And while the media will surely try to downplay the seriousness of this latest contagtion, it will likely fail:
- SPANISH HEALTH OFFICIAL SAYS HEALTH WORKER WITH EBOLA STARTED TO FEEL SICK ON SEPT. 30
- SPAIN MONITORING 30 MED STAFF WHO WORKED WITH EBOLA PATIENT
- SPAINISH EBOLA PATIENT ENTERED ORIGINAL PATIENT'S ROOM TWICE
- SPAIN EBOLA PATIENT POSS HAD CONTACT W/OTHERS BEFORE SYMPTOMS
But the punchline:
- SPANISH HEALTH OFFICIAL SAYS HEALTH WORKER WITH EBOLA WENT ON HOLIDAY THE DAY AFTER SPANISH PRIEST DIED AND HAS BEEN ON HOLIDAY EVER SINCE
Well, good luck finding everyone she interacted with.
And if that wasn't enough, perhaps the safest and sleepiest city in the world, Mozart's birthplace, Salzburg, hours ago activated its emergency Ebola response after a 15 year old refugee from Liberia was exhibiting Ebola-like signs. From German ORF google-translated:
In the Salzburg State Hospital, a 15-year-old from Liberia is examined for the Ebola virus infection. The young man was picked up on Monday night at the Wals. He claimed to have escaped alone.
In the Salzburg Federal Clinics (SALK) Monday had therefore first the existing emergency plan for the handling of a suspected Ebola are capitalized: The young refugee from Liberia had been taken up in a Flachgauer community. Since Liberia is a country affected by Ebola area, the young man was admitted immediately for evaluation in the country's hospitals. This was confirmed in the evening Salzburg hospital and health speaker Governor Deputy Governor Christian Stöckl (ÖVP).
And cue panic prevention mode:
"It is absolutely too early to speak of a suspected case. The patient must first be examined for possible symptoms throughout. However, the emergency plan has been activated as a precaution in the Salzburg Regional Hospital, and the case is treated as a suspected case. It has paid off, that a meticulous contingency plan for the entire country and in the state hospital in an Ebola-Team was established in the fall of last year by the Regional Health Directorate. The probability that there is an Ebola patient in the refugee may be small, but we have taken all measures to be fully prepared. The crisis team has gathered in a short time and will advise the next steps, resulting from the initial examination of the patient, "said Stoeckl.
Finally, all this is happening as America's own Ebola patient, Thomas Duncan, is in deteriorating, critical condition.

WHOEVER IS PROMOTING THIS PANIC GETS A NICE HUGE DOSE OF XANAX.
From the AP Story:
Maybe Dr. Frieden lied about how the disease is transmitted? Just sayin'
Lets see how well the flash boys on Wall Street maintain calm.
"The woman went to the Alcorcon hospital in the Madrid suburbs with a fever on Sunday and was placed in isolation. Mato said the infection was confirmed by two tests.
The woman's only symptom was a fever and she was on vacation when she fell sick, Antonio Alemany, Madrid director of primary health care, told a news conference. Alemany said authorities are drawing up a list of people the nurse had contact with, though he did not say how many people that might be, or where she went on holiday. She is married but does not have children.
Nobody apart from the woman is in quarantine, but her husband and the paramedics who admitted her on Sunday are being monitored. Officials did not say how or where."

"The [nursing assistant] is isolated in the hospital in Alcorcon and will be transferred to the Hospital Carlos III . Per protocol, all persons who are in contact with Ebola patients for 21 days taking the temperature twice a day to check for fever."

In a release on August 27, Rep. Gutierrez said, “I told the President he should be as bold and generous in providing deportation relief as the Republicans have been mean spirited and small minded in blocking immigration reform in Congress. When an announcement comes, we will make sure Chicago is ready, that the community institutions in our neighborhoods are ready, and that we can efficiently inform our community about what is being announced and can help our neighbors sign up.”

Ebola - one of the many Cloward Piven tactics being employed by the statists. Making everyone question, government, medicine, faith, etc. and not trust anyone or anything is part of the pressure being applied to every system in the entire world. The entire fabric of our World is nearly beaten down and when it finally collapses, these NWO statist assholes will usher in their new solution. They will survive and and remaining masses will be their sovereign slaves.
If I die that's one less fucker to pay the national debt. haha.
Its the EBOCALYPSE..
"When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth."
Methinks I sense the shadow of the Fourth Horseman.
Mr. Putin is going on vacation to his secure bunker til this blows away.
This is about the Dallas Case, not the Spanish Nurse case. Below is an article from the New York Times that gives the most detailed account I have seen about what happened in that apartment during his first few days. It describes his symptoms, and who came and went. What is interesting is it describes symptoms attributed to jet lag to him during first few days. When he went to the ER, he said he had had abdominal pain for two days already. I am not sure what they are saying is start date for when he became contagious, but it is reasonable to say he says he was sick starting on the 23rd. He wasn't admitted to the hospital until the 28th- that is five days of possible contagion. They also describe his primary contacts apparently visiting him freely - they were free, walking around the hospital- he was in quarantine. It is frightening to imagine the number of people at the hospital, and outside, that these people deemed high risk were exposing? They were not symptomatic, and apparently aren't yet, but the incubation period can be up to 21 days. We still do not have any description of events of his first ER visit, or his second one- did he throw up in a crowded ER, or in the bathroom? These details are probably known to the family members that were with him the first time. It doesn't matter in terms of doing anything about it now- but the more details discovered shows in more detail just how bad a situation can go, and gives great pause when we are being reassured that they even know how to contain it.
Here is nytimes:
It was Mr. Duncan’s first trip to the United States, his brother said, and he was clearly excited to reunite with Ms. Troh and his long-lost son, who now attends Angelo State University, west of Dallas.
Mr. Duncan settled into Ms. Troh’s sparsely furnished two-bedroom apartment, Unit 614, on the second floor of the Ivy, an unremarkable complex in the Vickery Meadow neighborhood. A king-size bed filled Ms. Troh’s room, and two mattresses covered the blue-carpeted floor of the living room, which was dominated by a large-screen television. The apartment was shared by Ms. Troh’s 13-year-old son, Timothy Wayne, and two men in their 20s — Mr. Smallwood’s son, Oliver, and a friend named Jeffrey Cole.

Jet lag sapped Mr. Duncan for several days, and he found himself restless at night and sleepy during the day, said Josephus Weeks, a relative of Mr. Duncan’s in North Carolina. Ms. Troh liked to prepare an excess of food so she could lure others to eat it, according to Peterson Wayne, and she introduced family and friends to Mr. Duncan when they dropped by.
Youngor Jallah, one of Ms. Troh’s daughters, said she met Mr. Duncan when she dropped off her children on Sept. 21 before rushing away to her job as a nurse’s assistant. He seemed nice, she said, and offered condolences about her sister’s death in childbirth last February. When she came back to pick up the children, her 6-year-old daughter, Rose, announced, “Oh, Grandma has a new boyfriend.”
On Sept. 25, Mr. Duncan began complaining to Ms. Troh about chills, and she drove him to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, not far from her apartment. He arrived in the emergency room with a mild fever of 100.1 degrees and reported having abdominal pain for two days, a sharp headache and decreased urination, according to the hospital. When a nurse took his history, the hospital has reported, he said he had not been around anyone ill but had recently been in Africa.

Dallas Mr. Duncan sought medical care at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Sept. 25 but was sent home. FULL GRAPHIC »
The nurse noted this, but doctors apparently failed to consider the possibility of Ebola for reasons that remain unclear. Mr. Duncan was sent home with antibiotics that were powerless to halt the progression of his virus.
On the morning of Sept. 28, after a nightlong bout with diarrhea, M. Duncan did not want to get out of bed. Ms. Troh, who is also a nurse’s assistant, had to go to work and called Ms. Jallah to come care for him. When she arrived, he complained of being cold, and she took a quick trip to a nearby Walmart to buy a thicker blanket.
She made him tea, and then fetched a blood pressure monitor from her car. The readings were frighteningly low, and his temperature measured close to 103, she said. His eyes had turned red, and he told her he had been to the bathroom seven times during the night. “O.K., you can have your tea, but then we are going to the hospital,” she told him. He resisted, saying he would wait for Ms. Troh to return. She circumvented the argument by calling 911.
Ms. Jallah said she was not thinking specifically about Ebola, but she had a warning for the arriving emergency medical workers: “You need to wear masks and be protective because this man is from a viral country.”

Ms. Jallah followed the ambulance to the hospital, and by the time she found Mr. Duncan in Room 42, nurses had already placed an isolation sign on the door. When she got back to her apartment, she instructed her four children not to touch her, sealed her clothes in a plastic bag and took a bath laced with Clorox.
She called her mother and told her to avoid the bed that Mr. Duncan had shared and to bag up his towels. When Ms. Troh protested because the blanket was new, Ms. Jallah returned to Walmart to buy bedding, towels and a thin mattress. “That blanket is not as important as your life,” she told her mother.
The next day, she and her mother returned to the hospital and could see Mr. Duncan through a glass panel. Ms. Troh gestured to him, asking if he could sit up, and Mr. Duncan shook his head no. She waved and encouraged him to wave back, but he could barely move his hand under the sheets, Ms. Jallah said.
On Tuesday, tests confirmed that Mr. Duncan had contracted Ebola. Ms. Jallah said that she and Ms. Troh learned the news on television that morning. They have been quarantined ever since, the children instructed to stay home from school.

COMMENTS
Ms. Troh and the other residents of her unit were moved on Thursday to a comfortable private residence — with a basketball court for her son — that was provided by a local benefactor. She said during a Saturday telephone call that she remained “stressed out” by her concern for her family’s health and by a week spent in the media glare. “We are peaceful people,” she said. “We are not criminals. We are here legally. Leave us alone.”
Ms. Jallah and her family remain in their cramped apartment, which lost power for several days this week after a storm. With two weeks of isolation remaining, the twice-a-day visits from health workers have revealed no symptoms of infection.
On Saturday, the hospital said that Mr. Duncan’s condition had worsened from serious to critical.
This spanish nurse news freaks me out. There's no way to circumvent the simple fact that it is not only air borne, it's airborne BIG TIME.

Spain is not exactly a third world, undeveloped nation.
If nurses using protective gear and best practices are getting this, then the bp are not good enough and it is getting around them.
This would be bad...um. Bad. So it is in the USA and EU.
Why can't these damn medical personnel stop having relations with the ebola patients???
I hope he pulls through.
What else is there to say but OMG!!!
