Second Dallas Patient Exhibiting Ebola Symptoms - Live Feed
Following the sad death of Thomas Duncan this morning, CBS is now reporting that a possible second case of Ebola has been discovered in a suburb of Dallas:
- *DALLAS AREA PATIENT SHOWS EBOLA SYMPTOMS: CBS
The patient claims to have had contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, referred to as Dallas ‘patient zero.’
NEW: CareNow says patient checked "YES" to question on screening form about travel to West Africa.

Live Feed (via CBS Local)
An afternoon news conference has been called in Frisco, a suburb of Dallas, to discuss a possible second case of Ebola.
The patient claims to have had contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, referred to as Dallas ‘patient zero.’
It is not clear how the patient had contact with Duncan or if the patient was one of the about 50 people being monitored by state and local health officials.
The call came in shortly after noon from Care Now, 301 Main Street, where the patient was “exhibiting signs and symptoms of Ebola.”
The patient is being transported to a nearby hospital by Frisco firefighter-paramedics.
First responders are also examining clinical staff and other patients. It is unknown how many other people may have been exposed to the patient.

Or you can stock up and honker down. Do not answer the door and stay low. I wonder how long it would take for it to be safe to walk outside after the virus hits your area?
Plenty of food and Zombie ammo and a decent internet connection [maybe a good pile of thick books also] and you should be fine.
If it gets out of control, the illegal immigration problem will be solved. Who wants to go to America and get Ebola??? The Mexicans might start guarding their border from people entering from the USA.
When Ebola gets to Mexico City it will be hell on Earth.
I thought it already was...
When it gets to Los Angeles or NYC it will be hell in the United States.
That one dude that was in on the power-washing has left town. He was first going to visit his brother and family in San Antone and head on south across to Laredo, and on south to his family digs wayyy down. Probabaly is exposed and doesn't even know it,,,yet.
Any truth to the rumor Obama sending troops to the southern border, to keep the wetbacks from leaving?
Left there 3yrs ago and work from home about 40mi from Dallas but, I do have to go in to town from time to time.....
Actually this new case is only a few miles from Allen ( where one of our datacenters are )... the other is in downtown Dallas.....
Wheeeeee!
A promotion has been put in for me but would require me to go downtown every day... It hasn't gone through yet..... I may have to reject it so I can continue to work from home.l
When I was living in Dallas I reached the conclusion that there is no security working or living in an economy so dependant on cars. Seriously! Let's say you get that promo, but the amount of time you waste commuting isn't worth it. 1 hour both ways is 10 hours a week. Further, the fuel cost can get ugly fast, particularly if oil prices head off to the moon. If there wa sa shortage, how do you collect a check (or go shopping).
I expressly tried to minimize my dependancy on oil based transportation (without being a liberal douchebag hippie) and I think I did pretty damn good!
I am 99% hydro-electric, clean air, clean water, and a 1.2 mile commute.
Regards,
Cooter
Damn yeah I wish I didnt have to drive 1 hour to and from work...fucking sucks
Have 30,000 miles on my car already in a 1.5 years.
At least the pay is great!
I'm re-thinking the promo.... have to consider the entire outsourcing of the group I'm in and the promo is into emerging technology ( Openstack and the Cloud )...
It hasn't happened yet but, the paperwork has been filed... it just has to get approval from upper mgt.... I've clearly got some thinking to do.
This week, I'm ordering a battery bank.... ( a rather large one ) and some panels etc.... I want to know I can run a fridge and two freezers, power tools and a welder.... lights etc. I'm already 7mi from a gas station but, I'd rather not have to go to the store much.
Care to share what solar gear you are getting?
Living off-grid here. you may want to connect a watts-up meter to your refirgerator to determine what is the real time energy consumption. A more economical choice would be a chest freezer converted to a fridge. Check Amazon for kegerator controls. Whatever you do, buy and install a trimetric from boggart industries. After living off gird for almost a year I wouldnt even consider running RE without one.
A welder, hmmm... not really. you can make one out of old car batteries and welding wires but running it from RE would be way to expensive, better to use a generator for that.
Check out www.solar1234.com (not associated with that site) Steve has great tips.
Just turned down a high-level consulting job with KPMG based on those exact requirements. Travel across the country in petri-planes? PASS.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Dallas lies on the 33rd parallel.
Freemasonry top 33rd degree,
some of the JFK assassination plotters were Freemasons ...
with their blood oaths of secrecy ....
Called something like this, a while ago...bigger picture, unfolding like clockwork...

I remember that one and I reposted it.
10 cases in our city would be more than enough for me to officially bug out to our farm and cut-off most contact with the general public . Somewhere in between 50 and 100 nationally would do the trick too - even if none were local.
If we got to 100 local cases - I start thinking about a sabatical from work for a while.
Your metric is close to mine, but I'm more conservative in that I'd bug out way before any cases were found in my city -- and if they were, I'd bug out on the first case.
If there are more than five states with active cases -- which means it's either spreading or we're having uncontrolled simulateous infections -- I'll be prepared to leave, and any case in my state or adjacent and I'm out. Given how much food is/was coming out of California, if cases pop up in the migrant farmworker population, things will be seriously fucked up for a while even if it weren't that contagious.
Please remember that even after several years of a bug-in/bug-out the virus would still be present all around you in asymtomatic carriers like dogs, pigs, ect. I think the only successful way to end a bug-out would be with a vaccination, but as we know there is no vaccine. You would need to be able to hold out until someone could make a vaccine and have it available to you. While you are bugged-out you might want to do a three day fast every six months or so to regenerate and supercharge your immune system.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/06/140605141507.htm
We're trying to be a bit flexible on the bug-out decision, depending on the facts and circumstances.
Also, it depends on how far along we are on our farm preps. Just ordered-up a manual back-up well pump - which was probably the single most important thing we didn't have. Woodstove's being installed this month too.
We are moving double-time trying to get the last of our most critical farm infra-structure/preps online within the next two months - just in case.
I've had a bad feeling about this one from the beginning. . .
"We are moving double-time trying to get the last of our most critical farm infra-structure/preps online within the next two months"
You're talking about the still right?

Hedgless, that's the best comment, in a sea of great comments on here in a long time. Tip 'o the hat to ya!
I agree, 100% shelter in place, 200 mi radius, no travel in or out, no flights in or out, nothing in or out. Can't be too cautious :)
In 21 days NE Texas would be 3rd world shithole with a million dealths. Not from ebola either. :)
Guys don't worry I heard the patch for stuxnet works for ebola, too. Same creators.

agreed. but they won't even shut the airlines down with traffic from infected nations....odds they'd shut dallas down are even worse.
Isn't that 'high-end mall' North Park near the African Zone also? I remember stopping off at the Used Book Store on Northwest Hwy near Greenville and was surprised they had an armed guard out front. He said violent crime had sky roicketed there so they hire Dallas police now to guard the handful of people who still buy/read books.
The area had pretty much degenrated into Zombie Land ... I haven't been back there since and luckily have not had to travel to Dallas for along time.
I guess the Community Pool is not such a good idea anymore...
When I was a small kid we'd all go to the community pool and one of the sickos always .... never mind it's not polite.
You talking about the old baby ruth trick?
yes, the FS3 generation is strong in that hood

Apologies for shooting blanks, being there's no delete option. I tried to c/p a pdf of a notification I recieved from the DPH, but couldn't. Still learning to navigate this site. Anyway, responding to the nursing comment above, and as an RN myself, this is potentially the pandemic i've been concerned about for a long time. The pdf basically is preparing nurses for a response to EVD. It's more than just a protocol, but has the 'ring' of a warning. This is the first ever notification i've gotten from the DPH as an RN of 20+ years. This isn't how i wanted to do it, but here ya go.

i gotta admit, i felt a tingling down my leg reading that rant. +1000
I predict the rush of illegal immigrants will slow down and reverse, once they find out that coming to the US gives them a good chance of dying of Ebola.
Hazard Pay beckons,
Who else will be willing to bury the dead at a price ???
If illegals ran away, house construction will screech to a halt, no more roadwork, lawns go unmowed....
Gee.....
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed attended the Bilderberg meeting this past summer, just as Ebola was revving up. He was the first ever US mayor to attend the conference. The first two Ebola patients treated in Atlanta at a facility underequipped to treat such an infection. The CDC is based in Atlanta. Coincidence? I for one do not believe in coincidence. We are witnessing a bio weapon false flag in the making.

Nope. They stick to the closest living relative. Kinda like the virus.

NO, you fsking idiot ...
Duncan was a black man, a hired driver for a manager of a global delivery service (fedex, ups, whatever) in Liberia.
Don't think he was up on linkedthin from darkest aferica.
An analyst job awaits him at Goldman.
O'Bola: "Change We Can Bereave In".
Even the Chinese can get behind that.
Yes, he did say he was going to change the country.
Welcome to Obolistan.
Obama is out raising mone and golfing so his political allies can get elected to continue his virtuous and brilliant policies. Fuck are we in trouble.
Preezy's so focused . . . not even the announcement of a new AND unexpected war could disrupt his silky smooth golf swing.
Got it covered

Clinic is about 1.2 miles from my house. No sneeze can travel that far! Obama says "I'm good"
Yup. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
If your doctor lives
he was probably in your grocery store, handling the tomatos and squash
Now yer just being cruel.
And sneezing all over the potato salad at the deli.
"Tastes Great, Less Filling"
Not sure that is implied.
Yeah you're fine ... unless the guy walked 1.2 miles to get to the clinic, in which case you might want to pressure wash your neighborhood just to be safe.
Here's something to think about:
In West Africa there is reported to be a complete breakdown of the (meager) healthcare system as resources are focused on Ebola.
People with run-of-the-mill medical problems are not a priority for treatment. (This assumes, of course, that they actually visit the hospital for treatment instead of avoiding it altogether.) This means that serious injuries, deliveries, heart attacks, strokes, and emergency room visits get little attention from hospital staff.
So instead of asking "what's in your wallet?" a more pertinent question might be "what's in your medicine cabinet?" How prepared are you to deal with minor (and not-so-minor) medical issues?
curcumin...look it up on pubmed for a multitude of cancers, heart disease, diabetes, MS, arthritis...resveratrol, mega C, time release, time release B's, garlic, ginger, green tea, rhoidiola, coQ10, lavender, rosemary, comfrey, emu oil, omega oils, and MSM and asprin, and lugols idodine to help with some of fuku's never ending gifts.
One of the early consequences of a little Ebola outbreak is that hospitals become the #1 place to go . . . if you wish to die quickly of a horrible disease. Almost nothing is more fatal in a shorter amount of time than Ebola. If you think you've had a heart attack or maybe that lump is cancer, I'd stay the fuck away from an Ebola spread zone, a.k.a. hospital.
You can write a coherent sentence, so you must have the ethnic thang working for you;)
We're all on a steep learning curve here, except Barry and Frieden. Good luck.
when you hear, "We gave him antibiotics and sent him home" you bug the fuck out
i did, thank you!
#BUGGED_OUT
I bugged out for a few days but had to come back to the city; my iPhone has no reception at RafterMan's Redoubt.
I'll just have to wear the sneeze guard I jacked from the Ponderosa salad bar instead.

Hey Rick Perry - are you going to be an American patriot hero or continue being an NWO pussy. Your choice.
I htink the reason such a high percentage of nominally conservative politicians are homosexual is the banking mafia like to have extra blackmail leverage on conservative politicians (on top of the standard hold given by campaign contributions) just in case they rebel.

There's going to be a 14-day waiting period to buy a catapult, mangonel, onager, or trebuchet.
Who cares?
I've got a file to make any one of those on my 3D printer.
You can make your own. They're pretty low tech.
Pumpkin chucker will work too.
Is this retroactive cause that fuckin trebuchet said free 2 day shipping with prime when i hit buy now damnit.
Mad Max; It would be great to see a catapult with real power mounted on normal everyday trucks.
Trucks are very American. Might be fantastic on youtube to see guys driving around stop and devastate a wall or a junk truck or hi loader.
Nah, that fucker wants out as soon as he can get out.
Time for the next bankster-bought stooge to step in.
How much you want to bet his/her name is Bush or Clinton?
He has visibly chucked it and looks forward to the day he can make speeches all day for real money and the folks who come will actually believe his shit and applause.
Knucks,
Don't ever come to Madison, WI, if you can help it. I guarantee you that at least 80% of the knobs there believed his shit the first time they heard him (that speech at the Dem convention), have never stopped believing his shit, and would pay top dollar just to watch him read the the local phone book (from a teleprompter, of course).
Yeah that is right from what I see on the internet. Madison is full of university type liberals. It ain't about Rs or Ds... it is about corruption, covering up crimes & corruption, and supporting the corruption.
No government or Business can run without conservative accounting, auditing, financial ratings, investment strategies, and budget making.
Hey IceWater! Yeah, I know Madison! Mrs and I used to work in Chitown way back when Hizonner was da mayah. When da Town woiked.
Before the chillen' we used to take our extended vacations up Wisconsin way fishing and camping, used to go thru Madison.
Know a buncha folks from there and worked with some UWis grads.
So it ain't changed, huh?
It was a hotbed of "communist sympathizers" way back then, too.
LOL
Wisconsin Dells ?
Amphibious Ducks rides ?
The issue is that we've had hemorrhagic fever here before and it was always contained well in each of the handful of cases so the assumption is that we can do that again. However, this outbreak is unlike any previous outbreak by orders of magnitude and it is still going. This time is different.
I have the distinct feeling that the assumptions by those who are in charge are going to be proven wrong. If this doesn't become the biggest event since spanish flu, it will be because of luck at this point.
This will go on for years, like in Africa, it's not the first time they've seen it there. You may beat it back this time, but it's here now, and it'll keep popping up like brush fires all over, for years to come. Your best bet was never to allow it to get here, we're past that.
Just remember - this outbreak has already resulted in more infections than every other Ebola outbreak combined and no previous outbreak made it to a city or transportation hub.
my father survived the spanish flu. he was ten and had blood coming out his eyes, ears, nose and mouth. he said it was worse than the war and he was at dunkirk in a tank.
Pres Obola expected to repeat his calming words from a week ago, "We Got This".
The stupid arrogant narcissistic illegal indonesian kenyan alien muslim' ' frackin moron liar in chief pronounces it "eboly". He needs to send some medical "corpse-man" to the rescue .
So??? We do.
Your exactly right, this is getting out of hand.
CNN reporting 3 sick officers....so looks like you are spot on.
Contained? We talking about Ebola or the Subprime bubble?
What Dr. Frieden actually said was that big soda containers were bad for you. Frieden's solution will be to tax Ebola victims, since Frieden is Bloomberg sort of doctor, he believes in finding excuses to tax people who are not billionaires. Frieden should have been promoting gay safe sex instead of banning big sugary soda drinks, but Frieden doesn't drink soda but. . . In any case, the USA now has no large corporations working on antibiotics. Pfizer laid off 1,200 researchers at its Groton, CT antibiotic research facility in 2012 and wanted to demolish the building. Also in 2012, Pfizer bought Monsanto's Nutrasweet (aspartame) business, ewven though it knew aspartame is a neurotoxin. Pfizer will enter the antibiotic research game in a few years, at its new research digs in Shanghai. And Pfizer's medical corruption pales in comparison to GSK, which claims its has an Ebola vaccine. What we really need is an Obummer vaccine.
glad i bugged out of the city...
#BUGGED_OUT
...and none of the crew is wearing protection. Okay, a couple of them have masks.
No worries, Obama's got this. Fucking asswipe Obama couldn't control a one man circle jerk
But he is a community Organ..Izer
HELLO FRISCO!
There were already a thousand other reasons to move from that place, I lived there 20 years. Glad I didn't wait for this one.
I lived there 43. Good timing?
On a long enough timeline.....everyone gets Ebola.
Now, we're 5mi from where I work. ( when I go in to work )
i would have up-voted you but i dont want to touch your post.
Do the patients that were present when Duncan first went to the hospital (only to be turned away) qualify for quarantine?
Welcome to the club - this is two blocks from my apartment. Wheeeee......!
You will be fine so long as you do not breathe. A hazmat suit of a large plastic bag over your head is suggested.
These fucking heathens know they are a potential carrier yet they don't have the common sense to stay in self quarantine until it is clear they are not a threat. They have to drag their typhoid ass all over the city breathing on men women and children. Shoot the fucker in the head at a roadside ditch and burn it with flame throwers.
That's close to Cordon Sanitaire protocol.
I'm not too far away .... shit's getting real.
ALL IS WELL !!!!!!!!

Riding on the City Of Ebola
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Three Conductors; twenty-five sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey - the train pulls out of Kankakee
And rolls along past houses, farms, and fields
Passing trains that have no name, and freight yards full of old black men
And the graveyards of the rusted automobile
Good morning, America, how are you?
Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City Of Ebola
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
Dealing card games with the old man in the Club Car
Penny a point - ain't no one keeping score
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor
And the sons of Pullman Porters, and the sons of Engineers
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
And, mothers with their babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
Good morning, America, how are you?
Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City Of Ebola
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
Night time on the City Of Ebola
Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
Halfway home - we'll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness, rolling down to the sea
But, all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his songs again - the passengers will please refrain
This train got the disappearing railroad blues
Good night, America, how are you?
Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City Of Ebola
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
I had taken that train many years ago a few times between Chicago and Memphis.
Mostly Black people on board.
Night Train was quiet.
This was before Cell Phones existed.
being downplayed now...might just be stomach flu.
http://www.alternet.org/inside-bizarre-right-wing-panic-over-ebola-virus...
Patient was NOT in West Africa....he's a deputy sheriff.
He went inside Duncan's apartment. I think that qualifies.
BREAKING NEWS Several of the Dallas Sheriff Deputies are now experiencing syptoms. They entered the apartment of the first patient without protective gear. Even though they knew it was wrong to do, they did it because they were ordered to do so. They then went home to their families. A Dallas Judge and two African American women also went in there without gear to transport the family.
This is Law enforcement in America, most are not very bright risking themselves and their families simply to follow orders. Bad orders. My question is would they have shot themselves simply because they were ordered to?

How many exposed at closed Clinic
http://dfw.cbslocal.com/
i don't suppose that anyone else picked up the 'Freudian Slip" made by the CDC spokesperson when he disclosed that Ebola had been "Imported" into the USA. When i think "importatation" I think shipper and reciever!
Also a disturbing story here in Canada of a Sailor that died under mysterious circumstances coinciding with the out break in Seirra Leone. He was shipped back here to Vancouver Island but the cause of his death has never been disclosed to my knowledge. Great way to bring it here to the "Great White North" with a Hero's welcome.
God makes us plentiful, not smart!
Making more stringent ebola checks on arrivals at major US airports is like checking baggage for explosives when passengers get off of the airplane.
Commercial passenger flights need to be stopped in effected countries.
This does not automatically mean isolation.
Military & heath organization chartered flights are not the same thing.
So what is the action when someone arrives with hemorrhagic fever ?
They can't be placed back on an airplane.
The person who knows they are infected who is trying to make it to a 1st world hospital for the best free care has already achieved their goal when they step off of the plane, so there is no deterrent.
First comment! You guys are all a buch of morons for obsessing over ebola!
Go vacation in Dallas then
I have to agree with both comments. People are letting the Media fear monger you with Ebola.. anyone remember H1N1 (Bird/Swine Flu)
The CDC trolls are officially here to use the first tactic of dismissing facts - ridicule.
That is why you only see one-liners from the Looney Tunes Left Wing trolls; they aren't about reason, they are about making fun of you and your thinking - you know, the old tin-foil hat remarks - making others afraid to say what you said for fear of being a target of ridicule as well.
Note to Looney Tunes Left Wing CDC trolls: Go to Hell.
-30-
We now proudly wear our tin foil hats as conspiracies are proven fact every day. It is they that have to stick to the shadows now in hopes the torches do not illuminate their faces.
Watch the real deal for all you Ebola deniers"
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/ebola-outbreak/
H1N1 did spread to 48 countries, and Ebola is (ahem) slightly more dangerous.
H1N1 killed more people in the first year than people who have ever caught Ebola since it was discovered, but Ebola is more dangerous?
http://www.cdc.gov/flu/spotlights/pandemic-global-estimates.htm
More people die annually from flu just in the United States, than have ever caught Ebola:
http://pediatrics.about.com/od/kidsandtheflu/a/deaths-from-flu.htm
http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/11/health/ebola-fast-facts/
Learn the GD facts people.
OR
Continue the fear mongering, spend all your money on tyvek suits, P-100 masks, and barrels of rice. If nothing else, allow ebola to boost consumer spending.
"Records are made to be broken"
The Grim Reaper
H1N1 did not have such a high mortality. Remember your rant. After this gets spread on the subways of New York or London, you will eat your words
Give it time, Murph ... give it time
Exponential weekly number increases for deaths are a fact. As we have seen with Duncan, deaths lag infections by a week or so. 1-3-6-18-54-162 ... speed and timing depends on the doubling rate of the virus and the number of unsuspecting hosts who touched their face after touching a sheet, door knob, vomit, blood, or body tht is shedding the virus particles.
Guess you're unprepared, as well as unknowledgable - good luck with that.
I don't remember where H1N1 had patients bleeding to death out their ass.
You can't really underestimate the importance of that fact to the fear it creates.
Yes, I was one of the early people who got 2009H1N1 swine flu. No ass bleeding but was horribly ill. Writhing in bed with 104 deg temp. Unpleasant for a healthy person. Deadly for the elderly and chronically ill.
You can get lethal ass bleeds ( Ecoli 157:H7) more commonly eating undercooked beef at a fast food restaurant that have killed people. Ebola trumps this beyond human understanding in this country.
Miffed
You are so wrong; nothing is worse than watching your team down three whole touchdowns in the 4th inning. Nothing, I'm telling you. Though I did also once miss an episode of Dancing with the Stars, and would have killed myself except there was a movie starring John Wayne on later in the afternoon. So that saved me.
well you had me smiling till the John Wayne part.
Frisco is 5mi from the datacenter I work out of..... Luckily, I rarely go in anymore and have moved 40mi out of town.... 60mi from that office.
Doesn't seem nearly far enough..... Don't have to leave home much but, I do have to go to the store.
Good to see you Miffed. Any specail preps or talk at your place?
Thanks, I do have a plan but am reticent to divulge so much publicly. There was a dramatic incident where someone had made a public email to management and staff how unprepared we were vs the party line we could handle it. This was quite balzy and I am not sure if I want to give up my position and be noticed like that at this time. I am actively pursuing other anonymous approaches including buying my own gear.
I think eventually the press may get involved if enough people start talking. This is every hospitals nightmare. What frightens me is I think the average Joe believes we are prepared when we aren't for anything of this serious magnitude. We can't even stop multi drug resistant bacteria from spreading let alone a virus that is so lethal in such a tiny amount.
