Tyler Durden's picture




 

Six ambulances have surrounded a plane this morning at McCarran International Airport amid reports that a passenger on a Delta flight from New York is showing symptoms similar to Ebola, according to NBC3 local news.

Delta Airlines Flight 404 at Terminal 1, Gate D40 is the focus of the medical response.

UMC officials say they have been placed on stand-by to receive patients.

It doesn't really matter if it's real or fake at this point. If it's fake but enough people believe it's real, the government can do whatever the fuck it wants, and most will fall in line.

this is only the beginning of the "panic" phase which will occur exponentially if more cases are confirmed. The boyz know this phase is catastrophic BEFORE the ebola/outbreak occurs if at ALL. Panic will collapse CONfidence and the JIT delivery systems. Pay very close attention to CONFIRMED cases and if they rise over a dozen then you must watch closely your local grocery shelves. Once the panic begins it will only last 48 hours before its over and done. 48 hours once you see the shelves starting to empy.

I'm sorry, but your question can't be answered at this time.

Matt Frewer (also know as 'the Trash-can Man' in Steven King's ABC teleplay of 'The Stand'; and also as 'Max Headroom' in the original HBO series) isn't responding to public enquiries. Rumor has it that he is doing some tank demolition work in Des Moines, Iowa; in conjunction with the CDC and Israeli Secret Intelligence Services. For further inquiries, dial 1-800-'WALKINGDUDE'. This release approved by acting commander, Baja Base, CA.

at least you weren't going INTO what is now an ebola riddled country (Liberia) sporting a fever and hoping the meds you got back in the states were enough to ward off that and anything local that might try to jump into you. talk to Wait What about feeling 'lucky to be alive.' I've never taken more meds in my life than the month I was there. anti-virals, anti-malarials, anti-bacterials, anti-fungals... and that was WITHOUT an ebola outbreak. imagine how hopped up on meds you'd have to be today?

Take a walk with me, and see what I've seen and learned. I just wanted to know WHO'S BEHIND THE DOOR. Fortunately for me, I've found out, but with further research you will figure it out as well. It's not a future that you would wish for. In fact, it has to do with the eradication of mankind as a whole.

Who knows, the final laugh may be yours. Then again, a work associate in the 80s tried to get me to invest in this company called Hybritech. I was impressed by their hybridoma technology but couldn't figure out the clinical applications.

She retired soon after and lived on the QE2 for a year for kicks. Getting postcards from her was always a mixed experience for me.

Dear, I cannot help you if you don't have the basic mental acuity to simply bring up Wikipedia to answer your question in the most basic manner. This really isn't too difficult so I am questioning your basic level of intelligence. I am a clinical microbiologist that has specialized in molecular diagnostics but I fear that explanation may have no meaning for you due to the above.

As to the querry about my abilities, this is relative and subjective if I am to give the assessment. Have I killed the least number of patients vs my colleagues? Am I on the verge in the final stages of development of an universally efficacious Ebola vaccine? Perhaps I fall in between.

Just participating in a conversation does not imply I believe in zombies. However my favorite target at the range is the zombie where I have made numerous perfect headshots. So I am prepared if they are in fact a reality.

Miffed....don't  worry, I know you are a microbiologist as I play one sometimes myself....in reality this person is just a shill wanting to question why a person 'In the system' questions the hospital, CDC, and .gov.  Don't know why they are doing this but some people just do either they are a completely sponsored shill or they are fighting their cognitive dissonace.

You have presented facts and knowledge, all that in scientific community can't be proven or disproven. Only time will tell. So, I am under the same opinion as you. Once there is substantial proof that ebola is more easily trasmitted (aersolized) and keeps its high mortality rate, then we are all in trouble. We will know this when we have breakouts around the hotspots with people not directly in contact with the ebola patients.

The 'signs' of a problem are not rocket science. The solution to the problem is where the PhD micro/MDs will come to the front.....until then this is all simple and basic understanding of trasmission and statistics....

He is an instrument of destruction.

Open borders to the south allow his ilk to pass to and from the country undetected/untracked.  Allowing foreign slime into the country to strain our social fabric and/or potentially destroy the country is merely an added bonus to their agenda.

This is how sick these fucks are... they know they can't enslave everyone - there's too many of US and too few of THEM.  So instead of helping to create a better world for everyone they have chosen a plan to reduce the amount of US to a point under which they can control and enslave the world.  It's all part of the plan and it's coming to closure.

Well, I've got to make my 4pm tee time.

Allahu Akbar,

McMolotov, I second that! Fucking hell, I ate at one at New York JFK before a flight to London, nearly fucking died at Heathrow, in the toilets for two hours before I dared leave! Also, LAX, got back from New Zealand, caught breakfast at LAX before flight home to Midwest. fukers got me again, pretty sick.

Lesson, Airport food sits for hours before anyone gets to eat it, thus bacteria get a firm hold on it. Avoid chicken at all costs.

Airliner food has always been good to me. Never got sick. I believe this airline food is radiated with some micro waves to kill any bacteria before people onboard eat it. I recommend the Lamb Chops on Air New Zealand! Fucking good! And from LAX to Auckland with stops along the way, you get a full three meals on the flight.

Naive me ordering a hamburger at an airport for the last time about 6 years ago:  "I have to board in about 20 minutes, will the food be out pretty quick?"   Response:  "Yes we just heat it up in the microwave."   And then I looked into the kitchen and realize they literally only have a microwave, no stoves or anything.

Can't argue with you! South Africa was a paradise till it was turned over to blacks, alsmost all of whom immigrated to SA after the whites built a rich economy and modern society. Local population when whites arrived at the Cape was tiny, almost zero.

Correctamundo, it depends on how broken you are on the inside. Blacks having been torchured early in life have therefore traits which are both superior, and docile, this docile one, and perhaps his behavioral habits,  having succum to the elements.

I seriously can't take this. Ok so ebola is serious. It like all past subjects brought up on zero hedge , I would read the comments to gain knowledge. I understand how important keeping up on ebola but there has nothing gained from comments. It's like ok ZH puts up head lines and then pastes where they got it from, in the past at that point half the comments where insightful and I learned a lot. Now just 1% has any true intelligent comments. I am ashamed to think of zero hedge as I once did. I needed it back then. Now, sorry folks but you current posters or even dumber then I. So why the heck shall I continue this site. But how to disconnect ?

I remember when TOD got taken out by industry trolls.

Sudden influx of newcomers, some old time posters that questioned got banned or just quit posting when the direction changed.

They would've had a field day explaining to us all where the seed money came from for fracking.

And we all would've learned then how the value of our money is set.

A long time member like yourself should realize how far ahead ZH is on news articles, if they get published elsewhere at all.

I come here for the heads up and the humor, this ebola disaster has to invoke humor or it wins; the posters take it to the next level for me.

But unlike yourself, I admit I don't contribute more here than comments, which is the whole point, I believe.

I'll ask the stupid question again:  when, exactly, are they going to end commercial air flights into the US containing any passenger having been to West Africa in the past 180 days?

We're importing this problem -- it's within our control to stop it.   You can't tell me that the revenue these air carriers earn from enabling this problem is the difference between staying in business and filing for bankruptcy for the 843rd time.

Oh they have and will still have plenty of passengers from West Africa that want to travel one direction. The larger economic issue is that by helping to spread the carnage the costs associated with killing actual Americans and spreading panic here will far exceed any profits the airlines gain by helping to spread the disease. I think that Bastiat fellow's "broken window" fallacy applies here. In short, the net costs of the plague far outweight any benefit to rat handlers not being allowed to ply their trade.
