Dallas Hospital Worker Tests Positive For Ebola In First Person-To-Person Transmission On US Soil
And then there was #2. A few hours ago, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, announced that a health care worker who cared for dying Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan, has tested positive for the virus after a preliminary test, officials said early Sunday. If confirmed, it would be the first known person-to-person transmission of the disease in the United States. The name of the patients is currently unknown, what is known however, is that the worker was "considered to be at low risk for contracting the virus" and the he or she was wearing full protective gear when treating Duncan, suggesting - yet again - that there is a transmission mechanism which is not accounted for under conventional protocol.
Confirmatory testing of the second case on U.S. soil will be conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, the statement from the Texas Department of State Health Services said.
The worker reported a fever late Friday and was isolated and referred for testing. "We knew a second case could be a reality, and we've been preparing for this possibility," said Dr. David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services. "We are broadening our team in Dallas and working with extreme diligence to prevent further spread."
Alas, until Friday night, said spread was once again completely uncontained if said worker was able to interact with countless others, who will become symptomatic only after they in turn have spread the disease to an unknown number of their own friends, acquaintances and co-workers.
The statement added that people who had contact with the health care worker after symptoms emerged "will be monitored based on the nature of their interactions and the potential they were exposed to the virus."
This announcement came hours after New York's JFK Airport began an Ebola screening program, taking the temperatures of passengers arriving from three West African Countries.
The full statement from the Texas Department of State Health Services.
Texas Patient Tests Positive for Ebola
A health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital who provided care for the Ebola patient hospitalized there has tested positive for Ebola in a preliminary test at the state public health laboratory in Austin. Confirmatory testing will be conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
The health care worker reported a low grade fever Friday night and was isolated and referred for testing. The preliminary ?test result was received late Saturday.
"We knew a second case could be a reality, and we've been preparing for this possibility," said Dr. David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services. "We are broadening our team in Dallas and working with extreme diligence to prevent further spread."
Health officials have interviewed the patient and are identifying any contacts or potential exposures. People who had contact with the health care worker after symptoms emerged will be monitored based on the nature of their interactions and the potential they were exposed to the virus.
Ebola is spread through direct contact with bodily fluids of a sick person or exposure to contaminated objects such as needles. People are not contagious before symptoms such as fever develop.
Here is Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins, Mayor Mike Rawlings and Dr. Daniel Varga held a news conference Sunday morning to inform the public that a health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas test positive for the Ebola virus after coming in close contact with Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan.

With a wife who is an ER doc, I am very concerned about this. However, none of the articles I've read (including the one linked to in this one) indicate what the healthworker position was (i.e. nurse, doctor, housekeeping, etc). I most certainly did NOT see anything suggesting that person was in full containment gear
"what is known however, is that the worker was "considered to be at low risk for contracting the virus" and the he or she was wearing full protective gear when treating Duncan,"
Time to buy and store a shit-load of these: http://youtu.be/T_lPE3iBSKE
"There is no cause for concern," says Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine and professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. "The Ebola virus is not easily transmitted from person to person."
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/09/30/dallas-ebola-patien...
- Health worker was wearing full protective gear at all times while treating Ducan.
Can't you just smell the bullshit wafting from the discredited-more-with-each-passing-day Centers For Disease (Non)Control & (Non)Prevention?
By incompetence or planned agenda...
...you decide.
I've predicted this before and do so again; The number of persons infected with Ebola in an individual outbreak in an industrialized country will not reach triple digits, perhaps not even double. I'll eat my shorts if I'm wrong.
You'll eat your HazmAT?

Frieden is a scumbag, lying motherfucker - petition to have this piece of shit fired and prosecuted:

"Frieden tells CBS' "Face the Nation" that all those who treated Duncan are now considered to be potentially exposed. Frieden couldn't give an exact number.
Health care workers treating Duncan were to follow CDC protocol that included wearing protective gear.
Among the things CDC will investigate is how the workers took off that gear — because removing it incorrectly can lead to a contamination."
Oh REALLY?
HOW THE STORY KEEPS CHANGING.
Frieden... dual citizen.
Self-chosenites...
At least Middle East markets view this as a "bullish" signal. Oh wait a minute...maybe not:
10.12 Middle East Markets Crater – Dubai and Saudi down Over 6%
Yet not one case of Ebola in Israel...
At least they have 'wised up' and halted all flights from the infected zones into the USA, right?
I am not a doctor nor do I play one on TV.
But I wonder if how these people are getting it is maybe when they are taking OFF their protective gear. Are they decontaminating before they take it off. It seems like they aren;t wearing their space suits and getting decontaminated before they remove their gear. Seems like they are wearing standard medical gear. Maybe that's why so many health officials are getting it.
I also find it odd they haven't found the transmission method yet or are withholding it from they public to make us feel powerless.
Crap I hate this.
No, it's because they don't even have toilet paper in Liberia.
You may not be a doctor and neither am I but it's becoming obvious that medical personnel don't know all that much either.

The DVD's Tom Frieden has order the police officers to clean the apartment using Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, Mops, Spic'N'Span, Dollar General
sponges, Bissel Carpet Steamers, and Harbor Freight pressure washers.
The PPE recommended by the CDC is an elaborate impermeable "spacesuit" type suit...with strict procedures for entering the contaminated rooms and exiting--including showers and other forms of decontamination.
Given the cost, I'm sure these healthcare workers are not only inadequately trained for Ebola type precautions, but totally inadequately suited up, and they wonder why health care workers are becoming infected.
The hospitals also most probably don't have the special precaution rooms that are built for BSL4 --separate from the rest of the hospital.Training only does so much--they need the proper gear and facilities, which are currently inadequate.
Either provide the proper gear and training, or send these patients straight to the CDC or another facility equipped to handle BSL4. Coming soon to a city near you no thanks to .gov. I'm sure 'Miffed' would agree.
The inadequacy of equipment is the reason they cannot halt air traffic from the heart of Obolaville.
That should be evident.

I'm not worried. Ebola will actually be a great boon for the global economy. Things really started rocking after the Black Death. Less workers means higher wages.
Protocol demands you not get Ebola.
Therefor the health worker violated protocol.
Did the "health worker" get the vaccine? I would bet so... Again, no pictures of blood ever.

New CDC Whistleblower Video: More Autism FraudTake Away: They LIE and their OWN have come forward and admitted it !
I agree esprit. But my hospital claims they are ready for a patient because they will use the same precautions used with flu and TB patients. This is what the CDC has told them. This absolutely contradicts the requirements of handling a BSL 4 agent.
We are going into flu season. It's the misdiagnosed flu patient that worries me the most. I will be handling their specimen using a BSL 2 hood using a disposable thin lab coat and gloves. The specimen (UVT media) must be vortexed prior to testing. So when I remove the lid there will be aerosolization. No matter how careful I am, my pipet may become contaminated as I draw off the sample to be analysed. I must remove the cartridge from the hood and place it on the analyzer. At this point, I remove my gloves so not to contaminate the lab but this is impossible to do perfectly without touching anything. The chances I have virus outside of the cartridge is great and when I place it in the analyzer, it too will become contaminated. Other people running other tests on that analyzer will be exposed though they don't realize it. Everyone working in Molecular Diagnostics has a great chance for exposure. Everyone in other lab departments have risk too just running routine tests.
There is no room for error with this agent. We are watching the research of transmissibility of Ebola in real time with the perfect model...US! The Nazis were executed for war crimes and human experimentation. I expect no less when those who brought this agent to our country face judgement.

Quit, or at least threaten to quit in protest. IT. IS. NOT. WORTH. IT.
I am planning my exit. Mr Miffed's definition is far more conservative than my own which is surprising since he approaches life as Mr Magoo.

Remember: We live in an age where repeal of the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 allows for outright propaganda of the American people by the American Government because of repeal by the NDAA 2013. Suspend your fear for a moment and look at this Ebola scare for the opportunities it creates. Now mix in a healthy dose of propaganda. In all the hysteria no one is going to see this for the FACTS. You hear "Diagnosed with Ebola in Texas" and you think "I could be next!". You see images of people lying in the streets of Liberia. You know they are dead of Ebola. But wait, they arent bleeding? No it must be Ebola, the telescreen told me what to think... Thats a good shitizen. This is the greatest Psy-Op in history.

I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that your opinion is valued, Miffed. Keep us informed on thoughts from the petri dish.
I plan to shelter in place, since I'm on 3 acres with papayas, bananas, and macadamias. Clean rain falls regularly, or as clean as it gets for 3900 miles east of Fukushima.
What if, with half the population gone, instead of fighting for resources we have an abundance of them? Every other house is empty, garages with all the sports cars and motorcycles of previous dead owners free for the taking, instead of wondering if someone is going to rob you they are happy to share their bounty with a fellow survivor?
Too weird when you think about it.
I hope this burns out before it gets out of hand.
Miffed is right:
"There is no room for error with this agent. We are watching the research of transmissibility of Ebola in real time with the perfect model...US! The Nazis were executed for war crimes and human experimentation. I expect no less when those who brought this agent to our country face judgement."

google is your friend... but I guess in your world it only counts if they actually come down with the disease.
It's time for a Tyler graphic again...
Country by country - ebola infected vs. ebola "thought to be infected but actually not infected"...
How about all those dirty arab shitholes like Jordan, Egypt, SA, or Iraq or Yemen? They have a combined population of 130 million versus 7 million in Israel, including their 1 million arabs. Oh, what about the so called west bank and gaza?
this keeps being said, what does it have to do with anything?
"dual citizen" "no case in israel"
Israel is SMART ENOUGH to not allow visitors from infected countries into their nation. I wonder how long until there are travel limitations put on US citizens.....
Which is more than just a little different than how it's portrayed in World War Z, lol.
IMHO, Because they are the progenitors and instigators of the open border policy here and defending it even at risk to us all. Go do a little research on the drafters of the 1965 immigration law...that and a bunch of other shitty things the tribe has been connected to....
You're either new here or you suffered oxygen deprivation at birth, so I'll spell it out for you:
Dual Citizen...Israel
Got it?
Dual citizenship means they hold both Merikan and Ebolean credentials.
I think.

Aren't things wonderful in the Fraud Age?
If you have any money, the last place you want to keep it is in a bank.
If you're in trouble and need help, the last person you want to call is a cop.
If you expect justice the last place you will find it is in a court.
If you're sick, the last place you want to be is in a hospital.

If you want an education the last place you'd get it is in a school.
If you're in need of leadership, the last place you'd find it is from self-appointed "leaders".
If you want to be informed, the last place to look is the media.
If you want to control a disease the last place to expect help is the CDC.
You could do this all day.
If you have money, the last place you want to put it is in a bank.

That ship set sail long ago and isn't coming back.
No. It was NOT WORTH REPEATING. While it may be true but that was DISTRACTION and an attempted hijack of the discussion.
THE TRUTH IS...This nurse in protective clothing gets Ebola.
The family, exposed to Duncan directly, and, exposed to his infectious waste in a Dallas Apartment with no protective clothing does not?
Something here is not reconciling. No. It is not adding up.
My bet is that many more people have Ebola in the USA and the CDC is doing their best to QUASH THE STORY.
This is done for expedience's sake as to not cause a public panic.
..
Do you really *know* any of that is TRUE? I don't.
It is TRUE that is what we are being told. That is all we know. Taking this at face value almost suggests that wearing protective gear and following "protocol" increases the risk? Being locked in a room with infectious waste does not?
You know as well as I do that CDC is an outfit not worthy of trust. If there is an effort underfoot to cause enough hysteria to usher in another Patriot Act; then TPTB might be trying to cause panic.
If they're trying to prevent people from flipping out, they're doing a terrible job because the response to this has been absurd.
We're trying to plan our own personal response knowing full well that we are constantly lied to. That's all we can do because I don't think any of us know the truth and probably never will.
In any lie there is an element of truth. The more truth that exists within the lie is directly proportional to the "credibility" of the lie, or, rather the amount of people whom will buy into it.
Yes Chunga. I initially pointed out the discrepancy to which you refer. In fact I am pleased that we are now back on track with the topic rather than talking about the corrupt banks (That which we already know about.)
A point is that they are not acting to seal the borders. I do not believe that this Ebola pandemic is a false flag being utilized to usher in Martial Law.
On the other hand I do not believe that the US Government will allow this crisis, one which they are actively attempting to create, to go to waste and notl use it to usher in Martial Law. In fact I believe that they will use this to usher in Martial Law. I believe that they will use it to blame the oncoming Financial and Social Collapse. In fact those are the reasons behind them not acting to close the borders or to stop air traffic into and around the USA.
If it is a false flag then it is actually a far better case as if we "bug out" then, perhaps, we can escape the clutches of the Police State without the fear of infection.
However if this is not a false flag then may the Good Lord help us since if it is not the God Damned Government that will get you then the damned virus certainly will.
That is the reality which needs to be discussed. The fucking Banks and Financial Systemic Frauds are MOOT either way.
The systemic financial fraud piece is moot unless of course this is a plot to make huge sums of money; something I also don't rule out. ;-|
My wife is a nurse TT so we are not taking this lightly.
If the threat is a false flag then the money matters. If it is not a false flag, and I am more inclined toward that disposition, then the money is moot.
You are not taking this lightly? Neither am I...neither am I...
It is very serious...actually it may be deadly serious.
Best wishes....And...GET YOUR WIFE TO TAKE AN IMMEDIATE LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Yes I am screaming it. It is not just for her sake but it is FOR YOUR SAKE. She will end up bringing it home.
It is time to bug out.
This has been on our minds a lot lately. Stay safe man, and thanks.
Orwell called it doublespeak.
It truly amazes me that the country that has most come to resemble his 1984 is the USSA. The land of the free, home of the brave. Fuck. What happened?
Umm, that's a rhetorical question.
My Point Exactly.
The last place you will get the truth is from the Media.
In this case, they are huffing and puffing over-fucking time to blow this shit into a full blown panic-in-the-steets.
They are gonna have everyone so fucking terrified that once they declare the lock-down and start forcing god-know-what "vaccine" on people, the people will beg for it.
Not just that, but rat-snitch on anyone who doesn't want a govt. shot.
You should be very fucking concerned, just not about Ebola.
This thing is NOT about Ebola. It IS about ANOTHER (bigger than) 9/11 style power grab for the globalists.
Can you think of a better fucking cover story to keep everyone locked down while your shock innoculation troops go door to door, giving vaccines and taking those pesky guns?
"See... They didn't defend you against Ebola! So What good are they? Just be a good boy and give 'em here... Then we can give you the shot. You know there is a one year prison term for the refusniks... That makes you a felon, and you can't have a gun as felon.. So whaddya say? Huh Cowboy?"
This is also classic "Gatesian" technique ALA MS Windows Marketing... No Wonder he is involved at some level with the whole-a Ebola scam-ola.
Wait till the fucking vaccine "updates" start coming the 3rd Thursday of every month.. From India... and you'll see...
When I start seeing articles about how the Globalists are "waning"... I think of that vicious dog in my area that feigns having a bad leg until he's closed within attack range of you...

This will not end well.
Analyze your statement (and observations resulting in it)!
You are witnessing levels of fear that do NOT match up with the threat. It's all optics at this point.
They have us EXACTLY where they want us with this thing.
And the "Stress Vaccine" AKA Happy Shot is coming for us all at the end of a swat teams gun barrel. it will be labeled as "Ebola n43x2" MarkIV Vaccine.
It's the final stroke, a takeover aided by panic and fear.
Got news:
All you sceerd folks have already been "body-snatched" by an info-op.
IMHO.
Pressure washer man an't sick, Duncan family an't sick. So why worry?
Somthing went wrong, the question is what.
Do we know that? Ducan family is in secret quarantine house is all I've heard. Pressure washer man--any info at all?
We would hear about pressure washer man and the Duncan family if they got sick, same with that homless guy that snatched and locked away without due process.
I think silence speaks louder then anything else.
Hear anything of that radioactive typhoon? No? Silence is what you listen too, not noise.
I've heard the song "I'm radioactive." Nice dance beat actually.
Still like George of the Jungle better.
Blah, blah, blah... we were told this couldn't spread in Western countries. "No chance", "Little risk", etc... What's the excuse in two weeks after the new protocols fail?
You refuse to break through the narrarative you are being fed and look at the bigger picture(s).
ITS NOT ABOUT THE EBOLA.
1. How the FUCK do you know what is going on in W.Africa?
2. If something is, how do you know what it is?
3. Have you seen anyone (personally or on media of any type) that looks to be suffering from classic Ebola?
4. Have you questioned why they are panicing away with one hand while letting the border remian open and flying in fresh cases?
5. Have you asked yourself honestly: Who Benefits from this?
6. Have you noticed that the coverage of this has been sensationalized beyond its true scope?
7. Have you noticed that the coverage of this is designed to generate fear (which won't help in any situation)?
Think about all the rights and privleges you are about to kiss goodbye to...
Bye-Bye.
What narrative are you talking about? Surely you're not talking about the one where the CDC downplays every incident and claims everything is under control?
I'm saying: Just What the fuck am I seeing here?
I see not fucking much.
I see media hyping the shit out this thing.
I see the government acting like 3 people in a fat woman's track suit trying to ride a bicycle.
I see a lot of scared shitless people ready to piss down their legs into their boots and beg Big Daddy Govt. to "Come Save Me".
I see ANOTHER lying sack-o-shit .Gov agency doing what it does best -- Autofellate in public on camera.
I can remember the NIST after 9/11, the EPA during 9/11, FEMA after Katrina and remember our current bozo-in-chief encoding everything he would do in the future by promising not to do it.
The narrative I am talking about is the one being pushed up our ass right at this second.
It's a fear and panic driven power play, and you swallowed it man! I feel for ya.
Ebol-a = Scam-ola.
I might add, I am seeing this after years of efforts to destabilize the Continent of Africa, The recent Ukrainian fiasco, the 2008 Fin Collapse, the ever increasing Big Brotherism from a unified media, corporate and governmental "Engine of Change". I also see a lot of well-meaning idiots pulling the whole wagon for them.
Feel free to let me know when this "Crisis" hits:
Until then, Yawn. Ebola Theatre: for those who like to be scared.
BTW, I have already had my "shots" so no need to call the hotline on me.
Over the years, I have watched as the collective intelligence of this has site trended from "fight club" towards "the little rascals/my little pony".
Not a dig at anyone personally, but GD, it used to take somthing real to spook people on this site...
This Ebola shit smells as real as Sandy Hook to me and I don't think the 2010 ZH crowd would have disagreed much.
No Country for Old Men... I guess.
Hey dumb fuckhead,
A conspiracy has to be limited in various ways. This situation is way too fluid. There are some people from Doctors Without Borders and other aid groups that would like to beat you within an inch of your life. I don't trust the pOs govt. either, but use what little brain you have to at least try not to look like Friedman's personal fluffer.
Wow, your understanding of this situation comes from where?
Fench doctors want to be me up? (or was that give me analingus?)
Go pull up your skirt and present your hind-end for your shot.
Just don't try and drag me with you down chicken-shit lane.
I've had enough of all you chicken little MF'ers claiming the fucking sky is falling while you rush to give everyone's rights away to BB so you can get protected from the big bad boogie man.
Grow the fuck up.
Harden the fuck up.
Until then... Shut the fuck up.
Normacy bias indeed, Gaius Frakkin'.
Yes, it does give the rest of us a bit of lead time to prepare. The doomers, survivalists and obsessive preppers--and, of course, the elites--are way out ahead of us, but it doesn't take that much time, thought or even money to pull together a kickass plan.
Creativity and diligence will be all the difference in a coming TEOTWAWKI scenario. This particular one wouldn't require a run from the urban areas, imo.
Best of luck to all ZH'ers!
Except the bankers and hedge fund cocksuckers, of course. And their lackeys.
Fuckin A right MaMaMonkey!
(not including Redskin fans)
note the efficiency of this disease's ability to destroy the health care system in this country. one patient has infected one other and there are 40 odd others under observation. in a few months there will be no health care system at this rate. and all of this so that no one is frightened by hospitals overtly taking precautions so that the mother f****** Democrats can win the next election.
One thing for sure is that it will be a Jew that wins the election...
The DEMONCRAT PARTY OWNS EBOLA
The ONLY thing they offer America is African PESTILENCE in various forms.
And Republican policy would be? Different? I doubt that, because I have seen presidents come and go since they gunned Kennedy down. No hope, no change. George W, Bush and then Obama? I rest my case and consider it proved beyond doubt.
They may have used other means for advancing the globalist agenda. They may have stopped these flights though. So big picture - no - but with regard to Ebola and the US - it may have been treated differently, if only for political reasons.
Democrats ALL support the current policy of Ebola cluster importation. Their assenting silence is deafening.
PS - what does Obama's cock taste like, and do you ever get tired of having it lodged in your throat?
Soon we might need to evacuate America by boat.
Yep. And when a dozen health care workers pop up, testing positive, Freeden will say, “I’m concerned; I have no idea how they contracted the Ebola disease.”
I was thinking of taking an extended vacation by air to say, Kiwi land perhaps, then asking for Ebola asylum. How could they refuse such a politically correct request?
UPDATE.......under pressure from the electorate, the Cdn Govt, just revised its travel advisory. " all 216 canadians currently in west africa, are being notified to stay the fuck there, and are advised that they will not be permitted to return to Canada under any corcumstances ".
That or he has already been injected with serum from a survivor or whatever else insures his safety.
STOP ALL FLIGHTS ORIGINATING FROM LIBERIA, SIERRA LEONE,
GUiNEA, NIGERIA & WESTERN AFRICA, FOR STARTERS.
In fact, ban all flights from Africa, period, since this has already undoubtedly spread to other impoverished African nations, whether admitted publicly or not.
BUT DOING THAT WOULD ENTAIL A MODICUM OF COMMON SENSE WAS BEING EMPLOYED...SO, WON'T HAPPEN.
Stop all flights originating from Texas.
Impose a 21-day quarantine on anyone with a Texas driver's license trying to board a flight to the upper 49 states.
Have the governors of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana deploy the National Guard to the border and keep those dirty diseased Texans where they belong (with the Mexicans).
Immediately stop and detain anyone found wearing Rick Perry birth control glasses.
-
Common sense would be dealing with the immediate and verified threat first. "Texas - Nuke the entire site from orbit--it's the only way to be sure"
-
sarc or /sarc, could go either way...
We have a shitload of nukes in NM. We don't even need to go to orbit. Besides, our spaceport isn't fully operational yet.
When this place fractures, we here in the 5-state area that includes North and South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin will also be a nuclear power. We will also have oil, if they can frack it out of the ground, and a good hunk of the corn belt for those of us who don't freeze to death. We can throw our weight around. Yay! We won't let Illinois in because of those buggers in Chicago.
cute.
So you must be in favor of closing the border with Mexico, too - right?
I currently live in a country that has a serious problem with dirty lazy welfare seeking white aryan Germans trying to get across the NW border and subvert the domestic legal framework to facilitate their "migration". So yeah, the USSA's subversion of the rule of law by not securing its own borders is unconscionable, but predictable, and correctable.
I have no idea what you're on about.
Honestly - do you?
Sorry, the Schwarzwald Schwein (and their particular traditional infiltration points where the locals get particularly irked when the wetbacks invade the local land of opportunity) are northwest of me, but on a federal level it's the whole northeast border with Germany (or the entire 360-degree EU border for those in French or Italian oriented cantons).
Regardless, in the USSA - even if the immigrants had the same color skin and spoke the same language and came well dressed with college degrees- the exact same immigration and border issues and stresses would still exist today. (Just like they did a hundred years ago in America, or elsewhere today- see HK/Mainland China for an example from the "other side" of the world. The only thing still exceptional about Americans is their love of drama queens and ability to confuse and distract themselves by focusing on irrelevant and tangential issues (such as playing the race card, when discussing border security).
Border security is very important to the economic and medical health as well as physical security of a country, the US border is a much larger than 5 airport arrival halls, and EVD68 has been medically documented in far more dead Americans recently than ebola has.
So like I said - common sense would be dealing with the immediate and verified threat first - EVD68 crossing from Mexico to wherever DHS facilitates distribution of the virus... and ebola in Texas.
Your scenario is pretty much where we are headed if we don't strangle this in Africa.
STOP FLIGHTS? This would be seen as racism, and thus can not be allowed to go forward. Imagine the riots in St. Louis if Ebola infected blacks were not allowed free entry in the USA.
Forgot about Missouri. Someone better tell those folks they better...aw, forget it.
Yeah,
Take a look at how African Americans treat African immigrants When they come to The States. The African Americans HATE them. Their bigotry and hypocrisy is unparalleled.
On the other hand, the African immigrants typically view most African Americans as lazy and ignorant (their words, not mine). I've had coworkers from both camps.
My neighbor is a dark black handsome fellow biochemist from Kenya, Africa ... he dislikes the so-called "afro-americans' seeing them as lazy and welfare babies with a chip on their shoulders.
Don't see him much since he's always working or fixing up his lawn or house.

Defective "protective gear?"
Hecho en China?
Hecho en Bangladesh?
I have heard that the "isolation" room for the festering third (and mostly now forgotten) Ebola patient that is still at Emory is located directly across from the hospital cafeteria. But nothing could go exceptionally wrong....
Hey Emory! Say hello to R Lee Emery!
Protective gear is no safeguard if the protocols are broken.
They think the Spanish nurse touched her face with her gloved hand while getting out of her hazmat suit.
Tom Frieden claims that the Spanish Nurse immediately licked her fingers after removing her protective gear, and we all know how credible Tom Frieden is.
What I want to know is why they're not spraying the outside of the hazmat suits down with something that will kill this shit BEFORE they take them off.
They actually do just that.
I have no real knowledge about that, but if it is a vopor carried disease, would that not free it up to breath in after you take your headgear off?
I saw an article that indicated the "worker" (are we officially a totalitarian socilaist country yet?), and all those caring for Duncan for that matter, wore clear plastic face shields, not full full containment suits with respirators. Same with the Spaniards.
So, the infection could come from "workers" touching their face prior to decon, or it could be from aerosol or airborne transmission. Or something else, like the virus surviving decon proceedures.
<< located directly across from the hospital cafeteria >>
The Emory cafateria meat & potatoes do look a bit 'soupy' now that you mention it.
gee.....
As I posted elsewjhere, CDC does not recommend proper equipment. Paper gowns and masks. Can't be sprayed down.
One reason the US is not ready for this is that in an authoritarian state there is no room for individual flexibility. A pt with ebola will be treated little differently from one with, say, an MRSA colonization of his nose (no direct threat to anyone). I'm not just taking about protective equipment, I'm taking about nurses going in and out of his room every 5 minutes to do all the busy work that procedures mandate. A second nurse coming in to check and co-sign an insulin shot. 10 people rushig in and starting CPR when his heart stops, cause that's what you do when someones heart stops. An administrator coming in to get him to sign some bullshit paperwork, then taking it away. Everyone taking off their protective gear to take him to CT, because that's the rules, no PPE outside the pt's room during transport.
When the hopitals or (more likely) the workers rebel against standard procedure and the CDC, then you'll know there is a chance of containing this. Until then, no real hope. Infected healthcare workers will spread it. We already kill 100's of thousands each year accidently, ebola won't improve that any.
According to the CDC’s logic, “it’s paradoxical” that the infection rate is increasing.
Under Freeden’s logic, opening the borders and allowing more potentially infected people in from Africa should decrease the infection spread.
“It’s paradoxical” he says ….
Obviously the Little Peeples [esp the ones who got broke by the QEs and zero interest rate for 10 years] wouldn’t understand these types of sophisticated logical thingies.
But he's great in front of the television!
Don't be afraid! The guy is a total quack but he's only here to kill you!
DROPLET CARRIED. There is proof it can transmit in large droplets , like from a big sneeze. Viral load is important, the sicker the patient, the more virus in a droplet.
They arn't wearing "hazmat suits"
Google "Contact Isolation PPE" this will give you an idea of what hospitals are providing heathcare workers.

she maintained that she didnt for more than a week before constant interrogation made her convince herself she had, while delirious with the virus. According to the one and only person in the world that heard her admit it. Allegedly.
This has been like watching a slow motion train wreck for the last 3 months. It seems that there is plenty of momentum and that the train is going to go right through the upcoming brick wall.
My paycheck says they have an Ebola based version of the "Patriot act" waiting to be slammed down by Congress as soon as enough sheep are afraid. Mark my words.
I believe the Connecticut governor just gave his ok for it.
Something to do with it being for the chilrin or sumpin ;-)
Say goodby to the first thru fifth amendments...
Yep. And more MRAPs, less warrants. Etc....
Roadblocks, vehicle searches, blockades...
No knock, warrantless home invasion searches, carried out by SWAT Teams busting down doors, thermometers & HK MP5s at the ready.
Rectal thermometers. Gotta be as accurate as possible. And gotta kill your pets. They might be carriers.
They rinse those things off between patients, right?
Cops are not going to want to conduct raids in areas wet with the virus.
Get back or i'll sneeze on you I swear.
"He threatened to cough on me, so I felt my life was in danger, and I shot all of the family members in the house." Thanks, Captain, I appreciate that. Go ahead and send another wetback family over to occupy this house."
What makes you think the 6th Amendment will be safe?
"Attorney? You don't got to see no attorney. You ain't got no attorney. You don't need no steenkin' attorney!"
Similar to the fifth in that it's long gone...
I already said goodby once, did they come back for a brief visit and I missed it?
