Ebola Pandemic Hits Germany, Turkey, And Australia As Infected Spanish Nurse Went Un-Quarantined For A Week

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Despite the still confident exclamations from officials that the Ebola pandemic is 'contained', more and more nations are admitting to Ebola-symptomatic cases or bringing infected patients back from Africa for treatment. Australia has its first potential case of the deadly disease, as Bloomberg reports a nurse who returned from volunteering in Africa has developed Ebola-like symptoms. Despite claims that Nigeria's outbreak is over, a Turkish worker there has been hospitalized in Istanbul after signs of high fever and diarrhea. Health officials from Germany confirm a 3rd Ebola patient has arrived in the country - having contracted the disease in Liberia. And finally, just as in the sad case of Thomas Duncan in Dallas, The Guardian reports the infected Spanish nurse went untreated and unquarantined for a week despite reporting symptoms at least three times to hospital officials. It seems the world is ill-prepared for this...

Bloomberg reports, a nurse who treated Ebola patients with the Red Cross in Sierra Leone was hospitalized in Australia after developing a low-grade fever, health officials said. She is being tested for the deadly virus.

The 57-year-old volunteer recently returned to Cairns, in the northeastern state of Queensland, where she has been isolating herself and checking her temperature twice daily, Jeannette Young, the state’s chief health officer, said in an e-mailed statement. Today, she reported a temperature of 37.6 degrees Celsius (99.7 degrees Fahrenheit). Results of tests for Ebola and other possible infections are expected early tomorrow.

 

The nurse hospitalized in Cairns was identified as Sue-Ellen Kovack by the Australian newspaper. Kovack returned home two days ago, the newspaper reported.

A Turkish worker employed in Nigeria was rushed to an Istanbul hospital Oct. 8 on suspicion of Ebola, according to Hurriyet Daily, after showing signs of a high fever and diarrhea.

The 46-year-old man, whose identity has not been disclosed, returned to Turkey 10 days ago from Africa to see his family in the western province of Sakarya during the Feast of the Sacrifice holiday.

 

The incident is the second case of a suspected Ebola patient in Turkey, after a Nigerian woman who transited through Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport while traveling from Lagos to Barcelona was rushed to hospital in mid-August.

Health officials from the German state of Saxony confirmed on Thursday that an Ebola patient had arrived in the country, according to DW,

The man, who originates from Sudan, contracted the virus in Liberia, they said, adding that he had been transported from the airport to the St. Georg Clinic in the city of Leipzig, which is located roughly 200 kilometers (125 miles) southeast of Berlin.

 

St. Georg's Clinic is one of seven health facilities in Germany with the capability to treating highly infectious patients in isolation.

 

Two other Ebola patients have also been flown to the Central European country in recent weeks. A World Health Organization (WHO) employee had fallen ill with the hemorrhagic fever in Sierre Leone was brought to Hamburg, where doctors were able to stabilize him and eventually release him last week.

And finally, with regard the infected Spanish nurse in Madrid (as The Guardian explains), had told health authorities at least three times that she had a fever before she was placed in quarantine.

Her first contact with health authorities was on 30 September when she complained of a slight fever and fatigue. Romero Ramos called a specialised service dedicated to occupational risk at the Carlos III hospital where she worked and had treated an Ebola patient, said Antonio Alemany from the regional government of Madrid. But as the nurse’s fever had not reached 38.6C, she was advised to visit her local clinic where she was reportedly prescribed paracetamol.

 

Days later, according to El País newspaper, Romero Ramos called the hospital again to complain about her fever. No action was taken.

 

On Monday, she called the Carlos III hospital again, this time saying she felt terrible. Rather than transport her to the hospital that had treated the two missionaries who had been repatriated with Ebola, Romero Ramos was instructed to call emergency services and head to the hospital closest to her home. She was transported to the Alcorcón hospital by paramedics who were not wearing protective gear, El País reported.

 

On arrival at the hospital, Romero Ramos warned staff that she feared she had contracted Ebola. Despite the warning, she remained in a bed in the emergency room while she waited for her test results. She was separated from other patients only by curtains, hospital staff said on Tuesday.

buzzsaw99 - you may be right, and wouldn't a 'natural' epidemic be an excellent opportunity to slip in a weaponized version of the virus? Who would notice. Any differences in RNA would be attributed to mutation. Question is - who are "they"?

To a normal, well adjusted moral person your assumption would be correct. They unleashed derivatives and they have no control over those. These people are psychopaths and their behavior can not analyzed through the same lens you would analyze yourself. They don't have Deep Underground Bunkers and armored redoubts for nothing.

(note that I'm not into an Ebola Doom hype, the more countries have their first cases, the more people, hospitals and agencies wake up and start to put some safety schemes up, but this is a completely different matter)

so? a virus can't order a taxi, enough space between you and it is enough space. the photos show how one patient was put into a segregated part of the hospital and all unnecessary access to it was screened/barred. that's not preparations, that's simple isolation. you can't impress a virus with high-tech wizardry. in fact, no pandemic has ever been beaten by high-tech, yet, it was always simple low-tech. like this display of it, which seems to impress you in a very negative way

Ghordius...Ebola does ride in Liberian taxis, do a google search on the subject.

As for the initial cases leading to a more effective response by hospitals and HCW's, that's true up to the point where the system is overwhelmed by new cases and details of infection control are overlooked. Spain is looking more incompetent than low-tech in its response. Ignoring the nurse's concerns for her health isn't low-tech, she and the Spanish people should expect better. Same for the US where we look increasingly third-worldish. 

Thu, 10/09/2014 - 10:46 | 5308555 Ghordius
Ghordius's picture

ok, let me clear my statement: the way to beat Ebola or any other virus must be "low-tech". there is nowhere enough high-tech solutions for the whole world, and a solution to a viral pandemic has to be taken in the whole world

which involve lots of simple things, like enough low-tech isolation wards, monitoring of fever and other symptoms, some common sense, some simple checks on travellers (I know, I know), lots of washing hands, lots of simple hygiene, etc. etc. Not ignoring the nurse's concerns would not have necessarily involved a MatHaz suit, I'm sure you agree on that

in short, a virus like Ebola must be beaten everywhere, including in the third world, with simple solutions suited to the third world. and this starts with awareness of both what a virus can and cannot, and how simple some precautions can be

Good luck indeed. As a compulsive handwasher I get what you're saying, but I've observed that most people are filthy in their habits. Given human weaknesses and stupidity, some are proposing that a vaccine will be the only way to prevent a future pandemic of this virus. Until then, I agree that low-tech strategies are critical in trying to contain this virus.

A pandemic is an epidemic occurring on a scale which crosses international boundaries, usually affecting a large number of people.

It does not have to affection a billion people. This qualifies. Tens of thousands, over a dozen nations, and growing daily.

How unfortunate.  As a long time follower of this site, with limited posting activity, the comment section has always been where "it" was at (No...I will not define "it"!).  Something to gather and absorb from everyone.  I've enjoyed Fonz posts, as well as Trav777, Francis, etc., even as nutty as they often were (Trav and Francis, for sure)  To me, they, along with you countless others, have all performed a valued service to those seeking awareness, knowledge and understanding in an attempt to gain further persepective, which can only be truly acheived by examining every nook and cranny, as painful and non-comforting as that can often be.  The signal-to-noise ratio has definitely dropped here over the past couple years.  Tends to happen when quality gets replaced by quantity.  I suppose we can't fault Tyler though....just following the tried-and-true infinite-growth business model.  I think it time for another 52 reasons why Michael Snyder sucks posts.

Third time I've seen these references today. And actually, I think the moniker is "fonzannoon" (additional "n"), unless there's another ID with similar spelling. 

Has he been kicked off?  I can't get to his history at http://www.zerohedge.com/users/fonzannoon , cause all I get is "Access denied You are not authorized to access this page."

So, what's the story, Doc?  Anybody?

Fonz commented on the Ferguson thread and Tyler (who am I kidding, there aren't any Tylers left)  didn't like what he had to say. Bassically Fonz said "there have been plenty of whites shot by blacks yet not a peep fron the Tyler so stop parroting the Huffpo."

Open letter to the Tyler's (If there are any left):

 

 

 

 

I have been a member of this site for a little over four years and a reader for five. Over the years I have watched a lot of good commentators disappear either by slipping off into the night or forced out because they have rubbed one of the Tylers the wrong way. Sadly I have watched a site that had some of the best articles and commentary on the web devolve into a series of sub-standard click bait articles and an echo chamber of comments devoid of any debate. In the beginning this site was intended to be a no holds barred bare knuckled fight club, but it appears that the founder/founders (if there are any left) has a thin skin and any criticism gets a person escorted to the front porch. Many of us have stuck around with the hopes that things would get better, but we all know how that hope thing works out.  

The way I see it is that ZeroHedge can continue it's slide towards mediocrity and stop catering to the lowest common denominator or the Hedge can continue with it's original mission and shine the light on corruption with some of the best investigative and financial reporting the Hedge was formerly known for. Knowing how human nature works my guess is this letter will be ignored by any remaining Tylers and I too will find my way to the front porch.

By design, Doc, by design.

I find I hang around, lurking mostly, because there is the occasional spark that resembles the old ZH. The signal to noise ratio has dropped so precipitously, however, that I sometimes ask myself why I bother.

I totally agree about the quality of the comments degrading over time. It needed to happen, if you hold a certain view. "Old ZH" was a free-access site with some really sharp minds bringing information from a very wide variety of sources. In a word: dangerous. Dangerous to have too much truth out in the open.

So my guess is that ZH sold out, and the new owners -- either by design or incompetence or greed or whatever -- changed things. Morning ZH still features some decent financial analysis. Afternoon and evening ZH is a bunch of political and social agenda pieces that are basicially click bait.

I'm going back to lurking, to the extent that I'm even around. I've realized nothing will replace the Old ZH and if I'm going to wade through the New ZH then I might as well aggregate information from other sources. It's the same amount, or possibly less work, without the bullshit now featured so prominently here.

Congrats ZH. Mission Accomplished.

Thanks Doc.  Put to words what many are thinking.

I have seen this before, when Bonner shut down his board at TDR. Not quite the same but very disruptive nonetheless.

I think in a bigger sense we are running up against the same issues here as in RL. Those organized tend to beat the snot out of the anarchists (or individuals for those whose ass puckers when they hear anarchist).

The discrimination policy was implemented due to lawsuits being constantly filed against Tyler et all by organized groups.

To defend those costs a boat load of money, and when it comes down to it, you just cannot keep the website up when all your $ is spent defending lawsuits.

Happens everywhere nowadays. Gold Dredgers got this in California.  Fishermen in NC.

Organized groups beat the every loving shit out of individualists.

And it really sucks too, because organized groups tend to be co-opted way easier.  That is why we as individuals need to keep informing others about the dangers of our currency system.

Those who earn the skim while doing little work tend to have lots of time to think about putting that skim to use. 
WE need to take away their power.  Avoid debt and this system will crash.  It has to.

We just have to watch out for the next iteration of the Matrix which the bankers try to sell us.

pods, there are all sorts of nasty sites on the internet.  If you can think it up, it is out here somewhere.  maybe I am just a technology retard, but how do special interests get to ZH?  ZH is hosted out of Bolivia, isn't it?  WTF?  Seems to me it would be pretty hard to chase down an international site.

clearly, something really has changed here over the last couple of years.  I watched the old school drop out (and get booted out) one by one.  Even saw some "enforcer" types popping up back then warning about the discrimination policy and such.

ZH is hosted in Switzerland, and that's where the anti-discrimination notice stuff came from. Pretty easy for a suit to get filed, and if it's ignored, nuke the host and bye-bye website.

My guess is the only "safe" place to go these days is probably something hosted on Tor or completely distributed. Not because the manipulators can't use Tor, but because they out themselves if they try to control it.
