NYC Mayor Says "No Cause For Alarm" As Ebola Action Plan Prepared
Holding the line of America's political leaders with regard the risk of an Ebola outbreak in the US, NY Mayor Bill de Blasio explained today "there is no cause for alarm." However, in his next breath, as Bloomberg reports, he announced that America's most-populous US city is increasing vigilance against the Ebola virus by involving every agency that interacts with the public. De Blasio called the meeting after the death yesterday in Dallas of Thomas Eric Duncan, "to make sure that if anyone does present themselves with symptoms, we have a clear protocol on how to handle the situation." Meanwhile, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie told reporters today in Trenton, "we're not ready at airports yet but we will be."
New York, the most-populous U.S. city, is increasing vigilance against the Ebola virus by involving every agency that interacts with the public, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
Departments responsible for health, counter-terrorism, public safety and human services will work closely with federal and state officials, even though no case of the virus has been reported in the city of 8.4 million people, de Blasio said.
“There is no cause for alarm,” de Blasio said today at City Hall, where officials met to discuss Ebola strategy. “In New York City, we have an extraordinary effort in place to work with health providers all over this city, agencies of every kind, to make sure that if anyone does present themselves with symptoms, we have a clear protocol on how to handle the situation.”
...
De Blasio said New Yorkers who suspect they might be sick from the virus should go to a hospital emergency room. According to Health Commissioner Mary Bassett, only one person reported circumstances justifying a test for the virus, which proved negative.
...
“We’re not ready at airports yet but we will be,” New Jersey Governor Chris Christie told reporters today in Trenton. The governor said a private call with the White House had bolstered his confidence in state and federal plans to combat Ebola.

So that's good then - because The White House nailed call after call recently...

Thanks Bill. Hope you didn't have to wake up early to tell us that.
North American version of a Burqa will be a Hazmat suit
Someone disgruntled will knowingly carry it into the rotten apple. "Prepared"? LOL.
side note...
how do we get a petition started...
TO GET OUR TROOPS OUT OF THESE EBOLA HOT-ZONES IN AFRICA!!!
inquiring minds wish to know...
i think i here whisleblower coming...
Stop and frisk is being upgraded to stop and rectal temperature probe with a blood sample.
Relax, this is nothing that can't be fixed with a simple Ebola credits tax scheme.......
JFK first, then the rest.
Gettin' a little nervous are they?
One hell of a run up to "Flu Season" typically brought to you buy the makers of all fun stuff... Tail wags the dog? Nahh... nothing to see here...
Strange how there is never cause for alarm unless it means dropping bombs on muslims on the other side of the world conveniently near Israel.
Having accidently dropped and killed a fat, furry, squirming hedgehog, de Blasio assurring New Yorkers they have nothing to worry about with an unseen people killing virus is pure comedy gold ;-)
Since you like to post pics how about a pic of some nice T&A with an ebola face. Or some Stop and feeel up with an ebola face.
Or even a nice pie since everyone loves pie.
I know that's suppose to be an ebola virus in context. But - admit it - it does look a little bit like a large intestine wrapped around the Empire State Building at first glance, doesn't it?
Don't think its going to happen. There will be fewer arrests, fewer contact sports involving officers on the beat, (blood and spit splatter), fewer pedestrian stop and frisks, "don't hand me your ID, hold it up so I can see it through this plastic mask or I'll have the removal squad come and put you in a plastic bag for safe keeping"
couple weeks?
Next up. CDC approved paper suits and mask's will be handed out as part of TSA airport screening process after your rectal thermometer exam and CAT scan
HIS NAME WAS FONZANNOON
Yes we all know Fonz is taking a time out from the pit. He will be back, maybe even under some other wordname after the butt hurt has worn off.
Look, If you want to call a tyler out in fight club this is not the way to do it. You tell them they are wrong, politely it will hurt less when they hit you with a graph and math stuff.
One day ill call take those tylers to task over the working of money and why selling infinate is not as bad as the math says it should be.
But that thread and math is for another day. Besides i don't want to say the Powers that be are right or fight their fights for them.
They are wrong but their math is not as wrong as it should be.
The Feds math ought to be wrong because it is; but its not wrong in the way you may think it is.
Does that make any sense it should and it should not. Point of view . Edited for grammer.. somewhat.
I'd still rather be here than reading articles (or comments) on CNN.com.

It won't happen, the U.S. only knows how to "send in the troops", not think; although the Marine Corps General in charge of Southern operations seems to understand (see my comment/link below).
Cannon fodder now virus fodder as well.
[push]...This is what being a solder is all about doing stupid so other stupids look good. You want a free ride join the post office. You want a ribbon now you have one.
I know and knew good men and assholes who joined up at an early age. Some are dead others lived but all faces and voices i shall never see again.
They all thought they knew and everyone of them couldn't be talked out of it, i did try and so did others better speakers and friends then i was.
The point is this its what these men wanted to do. They dont know the risk and they dont care about them.
Tip your hat call them MEN and let them follow their calling.
Petition? Are you effing kidding me? Why aren't they smart enough to petition for themselves and refuse deployment?
This isn't a 2 year old putting their finger into an outlet. This is an adult with an alleged brain. Albeit heavily contaminated with things like fluoride. Why are they not smart enough to question their orders to save their own lives? Or even question their orders in relation to their oath.
Do you really want to save them and gamble that when the time comes and they are asked to shoot you in the head and push your body into an open pit that they will suddenly become smart enough to say enough is enough?
At some point you have to take a stand. And saving your very likely future "just following orders" executioner doesn't seem like a stand worth taking
It kind of goes along with my post from the other day
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-10-08/cdc-suggests-hermetically-seale...
No, leave them there untill its all over, they want you to bring them back
That's funny. Christie saying they're not ready yet, but soon will be.
Yeah...takes a while for the check to clear when you buy 500,000,000 disposable rectal thermometers for use by the TSA.
He also called for more white people to get it because the fact that most of the folks dying being black made it simply unfair.
Bill is not our mayor. What did (the rev) al say?
De Blasio can't find his ass with both hands let alone administer a bureaucracy or manage shit... so my NYC buds tell me.
They think he'd fuck up anything properly tried if that wasn't a fairy tale already to begin with.
On the plus side, Christie can find his ass while handcuffed and blindfolded.
correct
The ghost of Rinky Dink Dinkens from times of yore.
Okay, now its time to pull out the Captian Trips references.
Ebola presents like the flu, what is wrong with this picture? How many cases of ebola will it take for all out chaos in the streets of NY, 10? 20? 100?
KEEP
CALM
AND
BLEED OUT
YOUR ASS
<moved up>
10? I think you're working in the wrong order of magnitude.
Start with 0, 1, 2.
edit: not sure why this is going into the wrong comment. its response to Joego1.
How many cases would you need to hear about affecting your kid's school before you pulled him/her out for a while? When would you stop riding the bus?
10 cases in any city could lead to big problems. 100 could cause economic havok. 1000? - I'd be willing to bet most non-essential commerce would cease.
Thought exercise: Next time you're at the grocery store, watch how folks select and buy food. Then imagine that one or more shoppers are infected. How long before a checker/bagger is infected? How long might they work with flu-like symptoms?
All I need is 1 case to pull my kid. Screw it.
Exactly. Lots of other folks feel the same way too I bet.
Think about that fiat you use every day, that somebody else used as TP.
Jeez, and we used to worry about coke residue.
Once you pull your kids out of school, and see how easy it is to teach them at home instead of these great institutions of "knitting washcloths" and recess... It will be difficult to send them back... I think ebola will be the final ending of the days of sending your kids to public school... Everything changes now...
The same number as the number of flu cases probably. That's what sucks the most about systemic incompetence...
See below...
How about 1 case and an internet connection where you can read about ebola.
Don't worry. If there's ever a major outbreak in the U.S., the first thing they'll do is hit the kill switch on the internet. That will keep you from reading or watching anything but government-approved media outlets for updates: CNN, ABC, NYT, WaPo, etc.
long mass quantities of vitamin C and re-hydration fluid...
If that's what calms ya, don't ME stop you.
Zactly, screw the tampons into your ears
.
"Do not worry."
Where have I heard that before?
Oh yeah, Fuck-u-shima.
As I'd said from the beginning, NuKuFuKu.
But ... "No one could have ever forseen that." by POTUS 2014
If you think you have Ebola, take the subway to the emergency room, take a number and someone will eventually see you. cough cough, is it hot in here or is it just me.....?
Great fucking plan......
But first they'll send you home for a few days by mistake before somebody finally figures out that you've got Ebola. Then they'll take you away, kills your dog, lock your family in your infected apartmenet for a week before letting them out, and hire some poor slobs to "clean up" using pressure washers with no protective gear or training.
Winning!
Ebola, if and when it reaches NY, will inevitably spread some in the general population.
But amongst the illegal immigrant communities it could spread like wildfire. Best to focus attention there.
Ignorant, non-English speaking, and living with 10 other people is not conducive to public health.
Neither are most NYC restaurants.
U.S. Marine Corps General in command of Southern operations said that if Ebola gets into Haiti and Central America it will be "Katie, bar the door" as they will stream into the U.S. to try and escape the virus and/or for treatment.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2785288/It-s-literally-Katie-bar-door-Marine-Corps-general-warns-mass-migration-US-Ebola-epidemic-hits-Central-America.html
He also said that a large proportion of the immigrants caught crossing the Mexican border are from West Africa.
There's no point in protecting your airports if your back passage is wide open.
especially if it's bleeding...

What is rather exciting is the British guy in Macedonia is named, via Google translate, as Will Pulli.
http://sitel.com.mk/spored-britanski-medium-pochinatiot-vekje-bil-ednash...
My guess is Will Pooley, the English nurse who was cured recently. Not so cured then.
Has a brother Tug.
Yeam but Tug was a jerk.
They must have discovered a few dozen cases in New York City.
If you have symptoms of Ebola and are likely to die, make sure that the New York Stock Exchange is on your bucket list. Also make sure to shake hands with every NYPD cop who has been raping your privacy with stop-and-frisk since Bloomberg installed that policy in 2002. And give a nice wet kiss to Mayor Bloomberg, Larry pull-it Silverstein and Rudolph 9/11 Guiliani perchance you come across them.
Better believe if Dallas has it then NY surely has at least a case if not several. They know it's become a really nasty situation where they left the entry wide open with people from west Africa jumping on flights to get treated.
Many more Duncans.
If you want something done right sometimes you just have to do it yourself.......
And some things are worth dying for - even by Ebola. Never miss an opportunity to strike a blow for freedom. Or for humor. Valkyries will then welcome you to the afterlife.

Frankly, If I suspect that I have been infected, I am driving to D.C. and riding the metro every hour until I collapse and die. My life would have done some good...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!
Sorry, can't stop laughing. 2 more government idiots telling us there is nothing to worry about. The government is taking care of things. These clowns never stop.
How about tellin the truth Christie; you bloated piece of shit. Unless we stop flights from infected areas from entering the US, we're all screwed!!
LOL, it's the RMS Titanic! It's unsinkable.
And leave the border wide the fuck open.
I can't wait until Texans ,Arizonans and New Mexican Born Free Certified American Citizens say "fuck dis shit" and start shootin border hoppers.
It's life or death now.
12 million people in cramped quarters with a virus than infects with 1-10 virons. Please if you live in Manhattan, just to be on the safe side, please stock up on water, food and sanitation equipment so that you can bug in for a month or more. Or maybe this would be a perfect time to visit relatives somewhere else?
What would an evacuation look like?
Today, Ebola's arrival will be through airports, in very minor incidents.
Tomorrow, ebola will stream across our unprotected southern border in major waves.
So your saying today Ebola is an epidemic of 'ethnic' proportions, and tomorrow it will be coming in in 'groves'?
Bug in? Most can't/don't/won't cook. Take out is the order of the day.
And subways for transport!
New Yawk City! Y'all fucked.
Edit..and you voted that Turd for mayor! Sweet Jesus!
It takes 30 min per block in traffic to travel in Manhattan. The visualization is a few million people wanting to suddenly be on the other side of that river.
Buy cold cereal, protein bars, grains, legumes. Most beans must be cooked at a rolling boil for atleast 8 minutes because of hemolytic poison. however, lentils, garbanzo beans, mung beans, and adzuki beans have less of the toxin and could be sprouted or boiled for less time.
You sir/madam, are a nutjob! Beans have to be soaked overnight and cooked a long time because they're hard as rocks to eat!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytohaemagglutinin
Phytohaemagglutinin is in red beans, and most beans except that it is less in the ones that I listed. This chemical causes coagulation of the blood. If for some reason you can't cook your beans, and need to sprout them , then this fact becomes important.
Just in time for flu season. Is it the flu or Ebola.
A real easy way to take hold in the US big time.
Too late. Mortimer and Randolph have already bugged out of stawks and the port. For the rest of us, the Ministry of Information and Truth says watch your step and: "Be afraid of Ebola. Just not too afraid." Panic and fear are luxuries properly reserved for the yachting set.
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/10/how-the-cdc-is-caref...
The Main Stream Media is entertainment personified, from the O.J. trial to the NFL spousal abuse incidents to a single lost airline flight. The clincher for Ebola was the put-down of the Spanish pet dog. So, get ready for 24/7 Ebola scares, with local politicians chiming in.
Chrisy will use his bulbous body to prevent ingress into NJ; will keep bridge into Manhatten open this time.
Obama goan pay fo mah ebola treatments........

On the upside, I am already beginning to covet my neighbours wife.
Please exit your homes. No bags or carry on. Get on the buses, and be taken to your local gas cham...I mean living camp where you will get food, water, and shelter.
Maybe if you drink a bunch of big gulps you can burp it out.
Oh wait, that's against the law.
There is no signal that it's time to panic more certain than a public official saying there's no cause for alarm.
When things get bad you have to lie?????
Stay the hell away from the ER on take massive doses of Vitamin C.
All the 3rd world will board flights into the US once they have contact with infected people for treatment.
Expect the numbers in the US to climb while the Obama admin tries to minimize it's impact.
If local governments can pass laws limiting the size of their sugary drinks, can they impose health restrictions on passengers arriving through their airports?
NO SMOKING! ( unless it's pot)
NO GAMBLING ( unless it's lottery or a .gov casino)
NO RIGHTS. ( unless you just snuck into the country from some 3rd world shithole, can't speak English, have TB or bleeding out your ass)
It is instructive to ponder on a photograph of the actual iceberg that sank the Titanic . (Published 1912)

"No Cause For Alarm"
Translation : feel free to panic
All these mouth breathing libs are talking down EBOLA to keep millions of illegal welfare refugees on the table for after the election. Duh....
Death of American citizens is secondary to their goal of flooding the zone with millions of fruitpickers and cheap labor infected with TB, ISIS flags, and yes, Ebola.
Long Virgin Galactic.
GOV Christie could provide vaccines for the mayors' towns that support him. The reverse is also true. Hey, it's a start.
NYC de Blasio protocols:
"If you're already bleeding out your ass and your ears then be sure to wash your hands and keep your mouth shut until after the elections so you don't bleed from there too."
La Guardia Airport Cleaners On Strike
The Financial Times reports Airline Cabin Cleaners Strike Over Ebola Fears.
yea, but, unions suck.
Last time I was unfortunate enough to travel through the gates of hell into that shithole of an airport I passed several alleged protectors of the proletariat carrying machine guns and wearing body armor
And I thought to myself how easy it would be for anyone with even an average level of martial arts training to take one of them out and have full access to their equipment in a place filled with civilians
Is crush, kill, destroy mentality ingrained in everyone from birth? It would also seem to presume that everyone there is a mindless bleating imbecile and couldn't come to the same conclusion about this obvious police state vulnerability and failed sense of logic
no cause for alrm because the silent one works just fine.
Nobodys talking about Enterovirus68 which is spreading all over this country and has caused the death of a number of children. Doesn't anyone question why Enterovirus hit our children so hard right after Our Illegal in Chief used his Homeland insecurity team to send thousands of illegals that we know were coming here with all kinds of disease and infections. Obama wanted to get them out fast so we didn't see any 21 day incubation period for those with scabies and other infections. Now these illegal children are in our schools and nobody is supposed to even question a possibility that the Enterovirus in a stronger form just might have arrived on those trains crossing our border.
Have you ever lived or spent time in NYC? How about DC? For me, as an objective westerner, I have no beef with New York. DC, on the other hand, is a corrupt den of snakes that think they have the answer for EVERYBODY....including the West. Speaking from experience, I can tell you that 90% of them have never been west of the Mississippi for anything more than a conference, and they have NO CLUE what is happening here. They make over $100,000 a year if they are even marginally intelligent.....check real estate prices in the DC suburbs since 9/11. If there was a God, it would originate there, and not Monrovia......coincidentally it was Virginia where many slaves arrived and were then 'repatriated' to Liberia after the Civil War.
I am not a Democrat or a Republican. I am an American, and if our society falls, karma suggests that it will start in Washington, DC.
Boulder, CO
Oh no, NOT the "whoa-dudes" and dudettes!
I am betting the Bakken wont be far behind NY. African immigrants everywhere working for shady service industry labor contractors. Place has always been crowded and unsanitary. Guys using port o' johns and tracking that crap everywhere, already supply issues and hospital infrastructure problems. Maybe Ebola will get tight oil before the oil price does.
Yesterday on a plane: man sneezes, where are you from (stewardess), replies "Africa". Full on hazmat response:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJhWVsx1U8c&feature=youtu.be
Yeah this will scale real well...
After watching that, short every fucking airline in existance. Borrow the money, pimp the wife, re-fi the ranch, steal it from your grandmother! But get as much as you can, and short the fuck out of airlines, because they are fucking DEAD.
In two weeks, they won't be able to pay people to fly.
Nary a word on the Dallas deputy? They waiting until the market closes tomorrow? Or is he clear?
Nevermind, found it. Negative test result.
So... did they cut Deputy Dawg loose, or will they keep him under observation JIC?
Bet the old lady ain't giving him any.
Aussie health minister cracked me up yesterday - showing off the isolation room (with one bed) in one of our major hospitals... Installs a lot of confidence that we are prepared for this!
They will just have to queue patiently in the corridor until the room is available.

Logged on to EBAY, searched for EBOLA TEST........absolutely nothing.....now is the time to panic....I have a headache...might have a slight temperature rise as well, where did I put that rectal thermometer.
In your rectum?
