US To Unveil New Ebola-Related Travel Bans As WHO Admits More Cases "Unavoidable"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Just hours after the World Health Organization warned "It is quite unavoidable, that [Ebola] incidents will happen in the future because of the extensive travel both from Europe to the affected countries and the other way around," CDC Director Tom Frieden announced that:

  • U.S. TO ANNOUNCE FURTHER TRAVEL MEASURES VS EBOLA IN DAYS: CDC

This merely confirms all suspicions and our earlier note that 'air traffic is the driver' of global contagion.

 

As Reuters reports,

Europe will almost inevitably see more cases of the deadly Ebola virus within its borders but the continent is well prepared to control the disease, the World Health Organization's regional director said on Tuesday.

 

Speaking to Reuters just hours after Europe's first local case of Ebola infection was confirmed in a nurse in Spain, the WHO's European director, Zsuzsanna Jakab, said further such events were "unavoidable".

 

Spanish health officials said four people had been hospitalized to try and stem any further spread of Ebola there after the nurse became the first person in the world known to have contracted the virus outside of Africa.

 

"Such imported cases and similar events as have happened in Spain will happen also in the future, most likely," Jakab told Reuters in a telephone interview from her Copenhagen office.

 

"It is quite unavoidable ... that such incidents will happen in the future because of the extensive travel both from Europe to the affected countries and the other way around."

 

...

 

"But the most important thing...is that Europe is still at low risk and that the western part of the European region particularly is the best prepared in the world to respond to viral hemorrhagic fevers including Ebola."

*  *  *
So don't panic!

*  *  *

"Air traffic is the driver," warns Professor Alessandro Vespignani of Northeastern University in Boston...predicting where the virus will spread...

There is a 50 per cent chance a traveller carrying the disease could touch down in the UK by October 24, a team of U.S. researchers have predicted.

 

Using Ebola spread patterns and airline traffic data they have calculated the odds of the virus spreading across the world.

 

They estimate there is a 75 per cent chance Ebola will reach French shores by October 24.

 

And Belgium has a 40 per cent chance of seeing the disease arrive on its territory, while Spain and Switzerland have lower risks of 14 per cent each.

 

 

 

'It's just a matter of who gets lucky and who gets unlucky."

Cause Ebola is already spread world wide

So all travel everywhere would have to be banned

And that won't stop it either.

“They” have you right where they want you: begging for quarantines and travel restrictions.

I honestly don’t have a better solution, but I am concerned about where this leads. I’m also wondering about the precedent being set to restrict a person’s right to travel.

As always, be careful what you wish for. In this case, the WH played it perfectly. Implement travel restrictions too soon and the perception is that people’s rights are violated. Now the .gov types are simply responding to the people’s will.

Besides the obvious preps, get a bunch of red Infectious-Waste/Biohazard garbage bags and a quart or two of fake Halloween blood. When things start getting sporty, fill the bags up with stuff, pour some fake blood outside your front door, and drop the bags on top of the blood to make it look like blood is leaking out of the bags. Everybody will leave you alone!

if only there were some sort of way to screen potential travelers

obtain specimens

find the names of all the people they have come in contact with in the past 30 days

learn their medical history

search their person, including cavities

detain them and observe them for a reasonable interval (perhaps 90 days), for their own safety as well as the safety of those around them

forcibly inoculate them

if only there were some sort of way that could be done

without the cost being burdensome

maybe make them pay for it themselves?

Jon Rappaport (author Aids Inc and nomorefakenews.com) reveals 2004 CDC report on vaccines and 'autism' is fraudulent, names names, and blows the lid on the 'Pharming' of human cattle in cradle to grave Medicineism and Psyience. Unknown thousands of kids now with brain injuries as a direct result of CDC promoted fraud. This interview on RedIce is essential for anyone to understand what's going on behind the Ebolanoia PANdemIC, most importantly HOW diagnosis is done, and WHAT it does/does NOT reveal, IMHO. Rappaport does not cover patented Ebola, and other weaponised synbio, and or whether this 'outbreak' may be a 'designer disease', but does see the 'benefits' to the controllers if able to lock down towns, countries, freedoms etc, and force a needle into your arm, or lock you up indefinitely.

Good old Warren B.  Who, at the time of the comment, was busy instructing every single company in the Berkshire chain of investments to write "campaign donation" cheques.  So add up all those cheques and let's just imagine the totals?

 

Talk about announcing that you are buying the White House 2 years in advance...Let's just fantasize about Sir Omaha's memo to the CEO's he influences?  How many corporations are now busy making contributions?  All separate?  And of course uninfluenced?

Hard to pick the worst thing the Supreme Court has done in last decade but this  "corporations are people nonsense" and allowing big money to blatantly lobby and buy elections is criminal.

 

And needless to say Mr. Genius of Omaha  made his reputation throughout the decades of stock market rise...not any big overwhelming skill if your pockets were deep and you had intelligent anaylsts;  AND POLITICAL robots.

Americans, Canadians and Mexicans all have exactly the same body temperature: 98.6 degress F. And inside homes and offices and cars and busses and trains, all temperature controlled for human comfort. So I don't know why you all keep thinking that it might be too cold somewhere to support ebola. Not like it is hitchhiking or something. Or might get lost on the way in the dark.

Do you even think about your assumptions? Ever? Or is this just some more of that good old American wishful delusion?

No people are saying "cold kills it" which is not the same thing as saying "we'll all be home sitting in front of the fire instead of being crammed together in a line at Walmart" and regarding that people still will be at the shopping center regardless of the weather. Weather doesn't change anything, nor does the cold, unless it's possible that African people don't fly into airports in cold places which matter-of-fact might be true, so maybe in a sense cold does make a difference, but more because of what people do than because it has any effect on the virus.

Is all I mean.

I actually disagree with that.  I think many Canadian hospitals are far ahead of this danger curve.   I cite, as an amateur, the SARS scare in TO.

 

Canadians, like the UK, may complain about national health care but I see on a local level great commitment from staff,  Does not mean we are immune.  But I think this system would do better than Spanish  tape.  We have Red Green/Canadian Tire money do we not?  We can afford duct tape.

Quarantine does work. It's a bit difficult mentally to do a 180, and give up on a century of coniditoning that says we're supposed to help the poor people in Africa; but actually, we're not supposed to help the poor people in Africa; Darwin is supposed to help them; and eventually, they'll understand contraception.  Ebola is just natures way of saying, hey, there's a lot of under-nourished, immune compromised dinner here. Go away and let nature do its work.

Yesterday I said we had a "Test Tube" situation in Dallas.Today it appears we have three test tube locations to assess the spread of the Virus in different environments. To Dallas we can add the Carlos Hospital in Spain in and the troops in Liberia.

"Officials" have reasurred the public that evrything possible will be done to contain the spread and they are confident....

There is another perspective from "Experts" which is a little more cautious in its tone and expresses concern that is more worrisome...

http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-ebola-questions-20141007-story.html#...

I wish our Officials sounded more like the Experts. In the meantime, the clock is ticking with the number of Test Tube sites growing. As more cases are announced the language may change.  In a few weeks we will know more about how this is going to develop. While the infection rate may slow down, I don't think it will stop completely.

Reminds me of the curse, "May you live in interesting times..."

I read your earlier comment and agreed with your assesstment, though I did not say so at the time. But yes it is important to learn as much as we can from these "real-time experiments" even if they are (and they are) happening on accident. But let me tell you something. The experts might have a look but even if they do, trust me, the resulting knowledge regarding the spread of ebola will never see the light of day. They'll wait to publish in a journal, the better to promote their carreer, and that after 5 years of analysis, and nothing of value will come from it certainly not on a time line to help inform what we are doing in the present crisis.

Sad, but it's a fact.

We are absolutely 100% completely on our own, and will remain so for many years.

Soapy water is almost enough. Dash of bleach, you're done. Amonia in water.

Ebola is not tough. Bacteria are tough. Most virus, not so much. Ebola not at all.

The main take-away is just stay away from it. Ebola is like a poisonous spider; if it bites you then you are dead, but up to the moment it bites you it is small and slow and easy to kill, you just have to stay on top of things when you know it is around, and kill it which you can do easily, and apart from that not worry about the nasty little shit.

Then a quick rinse with a light bleach solution? SOrry Im a big pussy when it comes to these things. Bit of a germaphobe myself.

The cases in Europe have nothing to do with commercial airline passengers... Medivac'ing an infected person to European hospital, and then not having or following sufficient containment procedures, so European healthcare workers become infected and then go out an infect the general European population... is a completely different version of FUBAR .gov practices.

I'm not that impressed with RNA viruses. they have practically no ability to survive in the biosphere outside a host they can infect. For 99% of the biosphere; bacteria, and fungii, included; they'r e just lunch. and for sunlight, uv, heat, forget it. 100% failure rate in 20 minutes. They're extremely fragile. A TB bacillus can form a casing for itself and survive in a form that can infect a mamal for 40 years or more, in floor dust. I think when all is said and done that more will have been said then done; as far any success of the virus is concerned. you have to take into account the relative health and activity of the immune system. I can't show data on this, obviously, but I would imagine the actual victims had some mitigating factor effecting their immune capacity. The immune system can detect and kill rna virus pretty easily.

Agreed.

Where I'm taking issue is all the pukes around here feel the need to see all this as some conspiracy of the NWO.

Fucking retards. What they are after is some comfort and I won't give it to them. people take comfort (everyone) in thinking that God is doing this to them, that someone else (not them) sinned and God is pissed and it's that other guy's fault. And if we can find that guy (not me) and make him pay for his crime (of sinning) the bad thing will go away and they (who is innocent) can return to the good life like was promised.

It's delusion. It's wanting it all to be an externality, as Douglas Adams called it an "SEP field". It's like some kind of rational blindness, of framing the problem in a way that it simply goes away by virtue of being Someone Else's Problem:

 Fucking NWO! Always pissing in the Cheerios. First it was gold manipulation then AWG now ebola, fuck don't they ever sleep? Well damn them. Someone needs to fix those guys. Make them stop all that crap they do. Well see I'm powerless to do that, got kids in college and a mortgage, so I'll just have to sit that out but goddman someone needs to fix the NWO yeah and all this bad shit will just vanish like it was never there.

Dude. First of all just because you say it's so don't make it so. And I could stop right there. But let's play with this. Second, deranged outfits like Monsanto (just to take one though they are perverse mu'fuckers of recond) have patents on anything that reproduces, including you. They have patents on specific gene segments in the human genome, patents on gene mutations, patents on degenerate lifeforms they engineer in the lab. Patents on shit they might engineer someday  but haven't yet because it's still illegal, patents on shit they found growing in the drain in the employee gym, and patents on cancers.

So you think you found a patent on ebola? You know what who the fuck even cares.

Oh and if you think the government bioweapon lab would weaponize ebola and then -- okay this cracks me up -- and then advertise the fact that they've broken mu'fucking UN restrictions of weaponzing diseases, then you are seriously stupid. I mean you need to change your meds cuz you is insane, that's what I mean. No way the government gets a patent. Oh wait they need to protect their "intellectual property" well fuck that. They do what they want, and if you copy their work they get the FBI on you because you are working on terrorism, faggot. Yeah they do terrorism but that's fine they can do all the fucking terrorism they want to, anyone else doing it is an ISIS sympathizer and it's Gitmo for you.
