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.

Keep these cases out of hospitals. Set up other facilities.
It takes time to setup FEMA camps in the abaondoned big box stores, and they need a bit more volume to justify that commitment to expansion and increased hiring...
I thought the FEMA camps were already in place? Alex Jones told me so.
That is a great idea. We've been hearing this "exceptional" bullshit for a long time.
It's too bad that if other facilities are set up they will most likely be prisons.
The question is will the sheeple be locked in or locked out.
Folks will be "intaken" at the hospitals. There is no way around it. Folks will go thinking they have other illnesses and it will trun out to be Ebola.
Coming soon to a neighborhood near YOU
The Ebola virus has probably left Texas already.
Think about this, How does a person in full protective suit gets infected but NOT one person in Mr.Duncan's family. Or are they just not reporting it.
What family? /sarcasm
The family you mention never existed. Now go about your business and move along.
Almost as cynical as me Bruce.
The Minitrue has already erased all traces of what family ?
jmaloy,
Who knows? They might have immunity, though. After all, not everyone in Liberia has caught the virus.

I can't wait to dress up in my HAZMAT suit on Halloween....
'Cept that everyone else will be dressed up that way too. And it won't be because of Halloween.
I'd like to dress as Osama w/ an advanced stage of Ebola. I'd probably be arrested for disorderly conduct.
Possibly, the biggest spinning plate of them all...
Possibly, the biggest, WOBBLIEST spinning plate of them all.
FIXED IT.
If Ebola hits the slums of Rio, Calcutta, Delhi, Bangladesh or Manila, will move like shit through a goose. All efforts at quarantine will fail.
This next month will be pivotal.
Frankly Im surprised it hasnt. Really surprised it hasnt shown up in Haiti...or maybe it has hit those places and no one knows it yet...
True, but America has the best transportation infrastructure in the world, which is the most efficient avenue for spreading this disease.
Im just sorry.it came to Texas, but it was inevitable, given our suicidal tendencies of not wanting to offend dark people.
And when it does hit a slum in India, think of the economic implications... all those call center jobs and tech support jobs that are out sourced??? Digitally it will effect the US at that point...
So, sub-minimum wage jobs return to America?
Surely we can prevent that with robots.
......Not to mention the slums of Houston, Dallas, New York, Chicago, L.A. , etc.
Ovomit has shipped tens of thousands of unvetted illegals into evey state of the country. The schools are likely already filled with thousands of infected illegals, carrying dozens of diseases. Myriad pandemics may soon overwhelm us, bringing martial law and suspension of our constitutional protections.
Thousands of our troops will soon be returning from Africa infected with Ebola and God only knows what other infectious pestilences.
ALL international travel and product importations should be banned, if we wnat to survive as a nation. If you really don't understand what is gong on here, you are part of the problem. This is not an accident.
All of our politicians and their evil appointees and bureaucrats should be exterminated.
Constitutional protections are the least of our worries right now.
The Constitution always trumps any issue in any century, right down to the survival of the population.
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” -- Patrick Henry
aren't slums, favelas etc mostly 1-3 storey? which means the population density is not so high as in high-rise areas? of course this is 'compensated' by the lacking sanitation.
actually what is most troublesome, is the fact that these high population areas are the best petri dish. it's enough that one carrier gets in and we will have 'immediately' thousands spreading out.
CIDRAP warned that heavy contaminated environs require much higher level of protection. Looks like they were right.
http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2014/09/commentary-health-wor...
"We believe there is scientific and epidemiologic evidence that Ebola virus has the potential to be transmitted via infectious aerosol particles both near and at a distance from infected patients, which means that healthcare workers should be wearing respirators, not facemasks."
Another thought occurred to me this morning.
We are using data from West Africa on our projections for spread and incubation times.
There may well be a natural immunity level in that population, that we in the west
simply don't have.Bad as the African situation is, it could actually be far worse here,
if it gets a foothold..
Yep
According to ABC News, the black death of 1346 to 1700 in europe was not the plague but ebola because of it's ease of transmission via air. So Europeans may have some immunity genes to ebola hopefully, but overall this post may not be much of a conselation.
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=117310
That would be fucking tragic and hilarious all at once. Ebola gets out and trashes all Arabs, Indians, East Asians, non-mulattos and the Mestizo populations with a vengeance.
That would be so fucked up.
Real thank you. That's some very good information there.
how many cases is Israel ???....I always thought Israel was closer to Africa than the USA
I'm surprised Hamas hasnt sent someone across the border yet...human bio bomb.
How do you know they haven't. They could be infecting hundreds/thousands of people in Israel, the U.S., and other western countries for weeks now and nobody knows it, but maybe Ovomit and his cabal of death.
You think there would be an effort to infect ISIS with ebola.
Word is they rape everything in sight when they take over a township.
A big wow! That would be a devastating development!
If you look at the history of the past 15, 30, 50, 100 years, most 'terrorist' organizations are far less ruthless, malicious and dangerous than the sociopaths in charge of the west. Not a lot of false flags committed by terrorists against their own people, not a lot of random acts of violence committed outside the areas of their immediate concern. The propaganda machine is pretty effective at scaring everybody about potential 'terrorist acts' but the history speaks for itself.
I have a feeling the palestinians may be thinking along those lines. But probably not hamas, they are sanctioned by the tribe.
I'm waiting for Israel to do it to help clear out the rest of the natives. But then you probably don't think the "Jewish state" was a colonialist enterprise built on myth, terrorism, and mass ethnic cleansing.
Which makes you either ignorant or too obtuse to understand your absurd bias.
Sammy Davis.Jr. died a long time ago.
Thats the only colored jewish person I ever knew of. I don't think there are many jews in Africa.
I used to play cricket with a black, welsh, jew.
His accent used to crack me up.
My first night in cold, snowy Aberdeen, Scotland, I stopped into a Chinese take out restaurant. The two Chinese guys behind the counter spoke in such a thick Scottish accent I could barely understand them. Thought I was in some Saturday Night Live skit.
Actually, they have a bunch of Ethiopians in Isreal. They didn't want them, but they had to let them in as they claimed to be Jews and were found to be Jews, the descendents of a couple of Isrealites who ended up there a few millenia ago. While Jewish heritage is passed in the female line (its always knownwho the mother of a child is, even if the father is questionable), those people were practicing the religion.
Oddly enough, Israel doesn't have the open door policy in which Semites the world over, so strongly believe.
google says "0"....although they did have one woman immediately isolated until it was proven she did not have ebola.
all those walls they've been building...hmmmm...
I suppose its time to start building the rabbit hutches and chicken coops for meat because Im gonna start getting used to isolation from people. May even place tents, kerosine stoves, etc on the island in the lake.
just in case.
But what about me? /sarcasm
why not go for the wild rabbits? also, don't forget some nets for the fruit bats, they are delicious this season, i have heard.
But all the fruit bats are here on ZH.
Yup. Fuck this newfangled ebola shit. Lets go with the oldschool plague.
A few people actually caught pneumonic plague a few months ago in CO.
Everyday a new case has been popping up throughout the world. this virus in far from contained. This virus has worked overtime to pick up "critical mass." I'm referring to the point where enough people are infected with the virus that it can sustain a chain reaction and expand out of control.
Yes, the bad news is Ebola may have already reached critical mass and may now be impossible to contain. The economic and humanitarian implications of this are massive and it could change everything. More on why we should be very concerned in the article below.
http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2014/09/ebola-may-have-reached-critical-m...
How does a bloodborne pathogen go global in just weeks? Hmmmmm. Let's think about that for a moment.
Hmmmmm.
BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS A NIGGER!
I think your shrink needs to double the dose.
Immediately deploy Congress and Obama to Liberia.
Now thats a countermeasure ;-)
Obama is saying to Africa, if you have been exposed to the Ebola and don't have a fever yet, come to the US.
This a start to the growth of cases within the US. Mass transit, restaurants and bars will be all places that will spread Ebola.
In restaurants and bars saliva comes into play as well as people coughing and/or sneezing.
Sanitation may not be good among the illegals working there.
Therein lies the rub. Mandatory quarantine and govt control at home as the source is allow to spread unfettered.
Seems suspicious, doesn't it.
A friend of mine (who is a doctor) said that while there may be an unknown transmission mechanism that it was far more likely that healthcare workers are not using the hazmat suits and protective gear properly. Particularly if they are cleaning up bodily fluids. They may walk out of the room and remove the head gear or gloves without taking proper precautions. Hospitals are going to have to use some ad hoc decontamination procedures like hosing down workers and/or disposing of the gear.
maybe....
maybe not..
Or maybe the virus is fucking deadly, and will take advantage of all the whitewash being spewed by the CDC to infect millions across Murrica.
I don't think we know what procedures they went through afterwards. I suspect that they were not allowed to just leave the room and casually discard the suits - they are more likey to be required to be washed down and decontaminated before getting out of the suits. I suspect this disease is far more contagious than we are led to believe.
It is far more contagious than public were led to believe.
Anyone missed that fact?
Yeah but then you have to containd that water,treat it and dispose of it. Think about how difficult that would be.
Apparently, the infected worker was following protocol in cap, gown, gloves and facemask, not a hazmat suit.
It looks like the fickle finger of fate has written on the hospital wall. “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN”
All hail Obola. The traitor claims another American.
All that Obama and his party care about is the liberal agenda and the election.
Sadly, that seems to be true. There could not be a worse time to focus on politics.
Ok, everyone go to Home Depot and get plastic sheeting and duct tape. That works for chemical attacks too I heard.
Hey, that thing will never revolve, it's got corners?
Biosafety level 4
This level is required for work with dangerous and exotic agents that pose a high individual risk of aerosol-transmitted laboratory infections, agents which cause severe to fatal disease in humans for which vaccines or other treatments are not available, such as Ebola virus, Bolivian and Argentine hemorrhagic fevers, Marburg virus, Lassa virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, and various other hemorrhagic diseases.
When dealing with biological hazards at this level the use of a positive pressure personnel suit, with a segregated air supply is mandatory.

MOTHER FUCKING COCK SUCKERS, KILL'EM ALL BEFORE THEY KILL US!
FUCK THESE GOD DAMN DUAL PASSPORT HOLDIN' ASSHOLES!!
KILL THEM BEFORE THEY KILL US ALL!!!
You know who is responsible for this?
An AIRLINE EXECUTIVE.
I want heads ROLLING by noon!!
#cantkillyoufastenough
LOL, like AIDS.
BS!
Obama and his libtards think they can lie like with the economy and unemployment, that's it's just another political matter.
How are airline stocks doing?
I dunno, but Delta has some great deals on flights to West Africaaaa
I only do Singapore Airlines
Moscow to Houston.
but not too crazy about the Houston part anymore
Listen up! Stop your airtravel now!
YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT AIRPLANE HAS BEEN!!!
Not only do people get on airplanes, airplanes get around. It's a double vector. An airplane that flew to Liberia last week, could be on a domestic flight this week. Airplanes break and when they do, other airplanes get shuffled around the system to fill the holes caused by the ones down for maintenance.
The systems in an airplane are like paradise for germs and viruses. The air in an airplane is recycled. The air goes through a compressor in order to keep the pressure up in the cabin. The compressor is warm and WET-- perfect for incubating disease germs. The potable water tanks are uncleanable. After several years, they are filled with bio-slime, bacteria and other pathogens. The tolets spray a fine aerosol back into the interior of the head when they are "flushed". The heads are so small that it is impossible to go in there and not touch some filthy surface. When you think of using an airplane restroom, remember that you enter that BLACK HOLE OF DEATH at your peril.
The plastic and cloth interior of an airplane is heaven-made for pathogens. There is no way to disinfect such a porous interior. It is IMPOSSIBLE.
Do you think an airline is going to actually do what is needed to decontaminate an airplane? They won't. At best they wil send in subcntractors (illiterate illegal aliens) to do a cursory spray-down with perfume aka "disinfectant". An airplane contaminated with Ebola is like bedclothes. the only way to avoid subsequent infection is to BURN IT. Who's going to burn a multi-million dllar airplane?
Crews cycle from airplane to airplane on a continual basis. I'll tell you what a Flight Attendant is. He/she is a FUCKING DISEASE VECTOR!!!! passengers touch these poor people, cough on them, vomit on them... if I was a FA, I'd fucking quit yesterday.
I am a retired airline pilot, and I think I might know what I'm talking about. I hope to God I never have to fly, ever again.
Go long on Clipper Ships.
They will be making a comeback.
+1000
AIDS patient "zero" was a flight attendant
Very true.
And a couple hundred in an out hundreds of miles diverse in a couple hours. That's pretty damn "airborne" for me. Not looking forward to 30000 cruise ship passengers coming into town every day either.....
New Protocol Issued by CDC
Before fornication, monitor your temperature. bath in chlorine solution, wear a condom, no kissing, nothing erotic, dont forget contraceptive pill, incinerate clothing, update last will and testiment and above all pray while trying to enjoy last days of life on earth. Added precaution--no post fornication cigarrette smoking as surgion general has determined smoking can cause cancer.
World over-population problem solved
get lost idiot
Jesus, believing this is primarily a sexually transmitted disease is going to get you killed. Do a little research or something.
I could be wrong but I did see an implied sarc tag...
Sorry. Nonverbal sarcasm is often lost on me.
Ebola spreads to dogs cats pigs cows horses sheep mesquitos and politicians too
Not certain about the 'politians, too' part of that statement, but I am more than happy to review the results of any pending trials on it.
I read somewhere that the dogs are carriers, they get it from eating corpses.
If the CDC ever recommends killing all the dogs, we'll see a revolution. Dogs are more important than babies in the US. Certainly more important than foetuses.
And me, dog meat was was my fallback plan. Better rethink that one.
Airbourne, bichez. And not just if you powerwash the vomit.
Wow. I thought soulless politicians, gutless civil servants, uneducated West Africans, and insufficient medical preparations were bad enough. Then I read this. This makes me think we are truly on the edge of the abyss.

From Planet Princeton:
Dr. Nancy Snyderman Back from Africa, Seen in Public
by Krystal Knapp on October 9, 2014 , 6:11 pm
Several Planet Princeton readers have reported seeing NBC News Chief Medical Editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman in public over the past day.
Snyderman allegedly was seen sitting in her car outside of the Peasant Grill in Hopewell Boro this afternoon. A reader reported that a man who was with her got out of the car and went inside the restaurant to pick up a take-out order. Another man was in the back seat of her black Mercedes. Snyderman had sunglasses on and had her hair pulled back, the reader said.
An American freelance cameraman working with Snyderman in Liberia last week tested positive for Ebola. Snyderman, a resident of Princeton, was flown back to the United States with a crew member on a private charter flight this weekend. Snyderman and her crew were going to be placed under voluntary quarantine for 21 days as a precaution, NBC News President Deborah Turness announced in a written statement on Oct. 3 (see the letter below). NBC said the group would be closely monitored and was showing no symptoms or warning signs of Ebola.
On Tuesday, NBC News President Deborah Turness said in a statement sent to staff members that Snyderman and her crew were doing well and in good health. “While they are deemed to be at low risk, we have agreed with state and local health authorities that our team will not come to work, and they will stay at home taking their temperatures twice daily and staying in touch with the local health authorities for the remainder of the recommended 21-day period,” Turness said.
Snyderman is not under any kind of mandatory quarantine order by the CDC or the state because she is at a very low risk of contracting Ebola. Any confinement is voluntary.
NBC did not respond to inquiries about Snyderman today, and Snyderman could not be reached for comment.
Snyderman has been NBC’s chief medical correspondent since 2006. She joined the network after 15 years as a correspondent with ABC. She also previously served as a vice president at Johnson & Johnson.
The infected cameraman, age 33, was hired last week to be a second cameraman for Snyderman, who was with three other NBC News employees on assignment in Liberia reporting on the Ebola outbreak. The cameraman, who is also a writer, came down with symptoms on Oct. 1. He felt tired and achy, and was running a slight fever. He immediately quarantined himself and sought medical advice. He tested positive for the Ebola virus about 12 hours later. He is the fourth American to have contracted Ebola in Liberia. He has been working in Liberia on various projects for the past three years. He is being flown back to the United States for treatment at a medical center that is equipped to handle Ebola patients. Two American aid workers were infected in July while working for Samaritan’s Purse in Monrovia. Last month another doctor as diagnosed with the virus after working at a local hospital in Liberia. Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan died this week in Dallas.
Update Saturday, Oct. 11: State of New Jersey Issues Mandatory Quarantine for Snyderman and crew.
The text of the letter to NBC staff from Turness:
As you know, Dr. Nancy Snyderman and our news team are in Liberia covering the Ebola outbreak. One of the members of their crew is an American freelance cameraman who has worked in Liberia for the past three years and has recently been covering the epidemic for US media outlets. On Tuesday he began working with our team. Today, he tested positive for Ebola.
We are doing everything we can to get him the best care possible. He will be flown back to the United States for treatment at a medical center that is equipped to handle Ebola patients. We are consulting with the CDC, Medicins Sans Frontieres and others. And we are working with Dr. Nancy on the ground in Liberia.
We are also taking all possible measures to protect our employees and the general public. The rest of the crew, including Dr. Nancy, are being closely monitored and show no symptoms or warning signs. However, in an abundance of caution, we will fly them back on a private charter flight and then they will place themselves under quarantine in the United States for 21 days – which is at the most conservative end of the spectrum of medical guidance.
We know you share our concern for our colleagues

Yelp: The Peasant Grill in Hopewell. James Cole just posted a nice review.
"4 Stars" I came here for a pure form of the virus and left with a delicious reuben.
Wow. I thought soulless politicians, gutless civil servants, uneducated West Africans, and insufficient medical preparations were bad enough. Then I read this. This makes me think we are truly on the edge of the abyss.

If true, what a fucking cunt. After an infraction like this she deserves to be bank-dyed a bright red, and her autos need a giant scarlet "E" painted on them.
When I heard that one of the news-crew members went off of the protocols and seen in public, I knew that bitch Snyderman was the violator. She's a bitch from hell and was a militant supporter of Obamacare from the very beginning.
I'd also like to know how that crew was able to fly to the USA already and under what precautions. They started their quarantine in Africa.

SEE I CAME AS A MESSENGER TO TRANSLATE THE TALMUD FOR YOU FILTHY WHITEY DOG GOYIM VERY FEW OF YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND!!
YOU DID NOT WANT TO GIVE UP YOUR GUNS SO YOU LEFT THE NO OTHER OPTIONS!
NOW YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT YOUR HOMES WITHOUT A HAZMAT SUIT OR YOU WILL RUN RISK OF BEING INFECTED! IF YOU RUN OUT WITH SAID HAZMAT SUIT AND ARE PACKIN HEAT WELL THE GESTAPO SPOT YOU EASY TARGET DEAD ON THE SPOT!
EBOLA NOT MENT TO KILL LOTS OF AMERICANS JUST ENUFF TO FRIGHTEN SO THEY CAN HAVE THE MORAL HIGH GROUND AND HAVE THEIR WAY WITH YOUR LILY WHITE FILTHY DOG GOYIM ASS! DISABLEDVET WILL CRY OUT IN ABSOLUTE EXSTACY AS YELLEN, BLANKFEIN AND DIMON HAVE A GO! "idiots"
I don't know about the ecstasy part. Might be a good time to go long caterpillar bulldozers "with full bio hazard option"though.
Wow, Live through Ebola or have you for a neighbor. Bring on the bugs.
Not you, the little tiny-brained bugs.
Still not you, I mean the ones with microscopic impulses in place of rational thought.
Okay. I give up. It's you-- human ebola.
Just think how much worse things would be if we did not have maximum supreme leader, community organizer extraordinaire, and constitutional scholar super genius President Barrack Hussein Obola(/sarc)and his PC minions directing this feckless government of ours.
Seriously though, this is a very bad omen. It's time to go score some more non-GMO cornmeal, more beans, and more rice.
Pressure washer guy does not stand a chance now. My friends are reporting that their social circle of Sheeple are still unaware so that still gives those whom the DHS deems terrorists plenty of time to prep for now.
Another friend is a healthcare worker who spends a lot of time in an ER told me her hospital workers think this is one big joke. I just Facebook messaged this news article to her while she is at work.
I got a reply back from my friend. She told me she will quit her job if this Ebola crap spreads.
How many other healthcare workers will do this?
How many people with treatable conditions will die as they will not go to a hospital due to fear?
Thanks President Obola! I realize that your intellectual powers are vastly superior to mine, and I know thinking that stopping all transit means from outbreak areas and sealing the borders are really stupid thoughts on my part.
Hang on folks!!!!
Politicians sympathetic to Obola patients should immediately go to the hospital and offer their sympathy and support.
The sad truth is our Federal government deliberately avoiding taking common sense steps including a travel ban to nations with active infections and 3-week travel quarantines of people coming from all African nations plus common stop-over points of people travelling from Africa. The CDC just lost all credibility with their dismissal of transmission risk and failure to take appropriate action. As this spreads, there will be an early effort to 'RESCUE' people off to quarantine camps. If you allow yourself to be taken, these camps will end up having high transmission rates, and a lot of people will die at camp. Think Treblinka or Auschwitz, but without the Nazis having to do anything to kill those who are CONTAINED.
They need a real space suit - and an exit airlock that will sray them down and kill anything on the outside of the suit before leaving.
I'm starting to wonder if just taking the suit off isn't enough to dislodge infectious particles.
Have you noticed how baggy and wrinkly the hazmat suits are...actually a horrible design to spray down and probably impossible to dislodge infectious particles.
I've worn Level A and B suits,no issues with decon.
Word is Dallas Pres had a re-use protocol in place. Now they have a large autoclave that can handle several suits. Connection?
Long mobile incinerator businesses.
One would have to be really fucking stupid at math to not believe that we are totally fucked...if it is in fact airborne.
The CDC does not consider sneeze particles containing ebola to be "airborne".
Fucking word parsing murderer theives spys and thugs.
If the Washington D.C. politicians plan on living without fear of Obola they better impeach the Obola
And while on the ebola subject, has anyone heard anything about the 14 year old that was taken to a NYC hospital on Friday? The kid had admitted he lied on the entry form that was reported by the NY Post.
This thing has spread beyond belief already.
Shelter in place, buy a motorcycle helmet.
And I'm being totally serious when I say this.
There is no threat from Ebola. It's the sprat to catch the makrel. ' CNN removes fake Ebola video of people dropping like flies in town streets of Liberia' www.jimstonefreelance.com It's a big win win for big Pharma who will rake in trillion$ of $$$$ for vaccines supplied for mass depopulation cull of the Human race.
It should be obvious to everyone by now that the CD and the government are liars. So how long are we going to be led like sheep to the slaughter? When is anyone going to fucking wake up and take matters into their own hands? The time for violent revolution against these liars is now but I don't see it happening. What a worthless fucking people Americans are. And to think their patriot ancestors fought for these generations. They gotta be puking in their graves.
I think the violence was brought to the the Patriots first last time and probably will again, no reason to believe the outcome wont be the same this time. This country needs an enema!
"The name of the patients is currently unknown"
"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."
This baffeles me a bit.
So the name is not released to the general public and if she/he forgot to mention your name during the interview you would not have a clou even if you shared a cup of coffee with him/her.
Thanks, Barry Soetoro you lying POS!
Our two biggest enemies in the world today are an african virus and muslim terrorists. Who do we elect president, an african muslim. Were fucked
Muslim terrorists were manufactured by the scumbag tribe. REMEMBER that.
Your family started muslim terrorism? Where's your loyalty to your own kind?
If you are a healthcare worker reading about Patient 1, are you going to go to work tomorrow to treat an Ebola patient? For those about to die, I salute you!
No, i would call in sick.
Sorry can't come , i feel a bit feverish.
"Ok, yeah . . . we'll need to assist you and your family to the nearest FEMA/UN Ebola camp. Since you cant work, you might be infected. Dont worry, the camp survival rate @ 3 months is running just north of 10%."
One question I have is if a survivor's serum can be used as a treatment and/or provide immunity to the disease, are there stockpiles of serum from this or a previous outbreak for the fortunate ones? And if survivor serum turns out to be the best bet against Ebola, you probably don't want to be one of the first known suvivors if the SHTF.
I am guessing at some parts of this.
We know it is blood transfusions that have a real effect. Blood has a shelf life so it will not be something stockpiled from last outbreak unless that was something pretty recent. Blood type has to match. Brantley offered his blood to Duncan. They were not compatible.
I could see s survivors farm where they feed you, exercise you, make you drink lots of fluid, take supplements, so that they could harvest blood from you sooner. Rich folks send hunters on expeditions to bag one who is the correct blood type, keep them back at the ranch, in some "guest quarters."
The weird will start turning pro about now.
dup HST told that...must have been important
Yes, that was tried and failed. A question of timing or process that failed wasn't revealed.
So which is it? NYT bastion of truth.

Going to forced vaccine.
Ok look, let's get this straight.
They need cover for their currency collapse. They've done it before and this time is no different.
In addition, ask yourself one question: what's going on elsewhere while I'm not looking? Do you think that Lord R and D Rock have decided to loosen their grip on Ukraine? No they haven't and they won't. The killing continues in Ukraine and it is undiminished in its meaning and scope. The body count in Ukraine is much, much larger in Ukraine than for "Ebola."
Laugh at them and eschew their panic. They want you afraid, don't give it to them!
Currency collapse? The Dollar has huge Boner lately.
If you think the Ukraine situation is bad take a look at what's happening in Kashmir, and the face-off between the two nuclear armed countries (India and Pakistan).
all according to plan.
I like the last paragraph in that part copied from the Texas Health Department statement saying how it is spread. CLEARLY that isn't simply the case as people in full protective gear wouldn't be getting it.
Going to be like all the keynesians who go on about government spending being the key while ignoring reality showing otherwise- we'll keep hearing how Ebola is only spread that way as people get infected without any actual direct contact with infected people proving the theory is wrong. Annoying how people ignore reality for theory.
OT: Is there a way to have ZH email you when someone responds to one of your posts?
Nope, ZHer's have been requesting that very thing for years now...
Thx for the reply. Then I am really amazed to see some of these back and forth dialogs. People must have incredible discipline to return back to the exact spot to respond multiple times. That's a gene I didn't inheret, so any replies to my posts are nearly always missed. TU for the reply.
Go to "My account." Once there click "Follow this user's comments." Once the box shows up, fill in erkme73 and enter. You will see a display of all your comments. You can click them and they will go back to your comment, if your comment appears on the first page of comments. If it does not then you can page to them at the bottom of the page. I also use my find function when I am on a page to go quickly to my comment if I want to check and go fast. Your name is unique enough that this trick should work for you too.
That's how I do it too.
Clicking on the posting number should take you there as well.
But it's a big PITA.
A lot of times I'll reply to a poster only to find several others posting replies to other posters, and WTF is with the scrolling feature the comments have - one word lines?
Face it the ZH website just plain sucks architecturally.
"Contained" = Not contained.
Any questions?
Another big psyop hoax so they can force their vaccines on everyone which are filled with various poisons and death.

Lying liers again. Prove it...
Fear porn to cover the next financial leg of the financial crisis. Prove it otherwise. Name the patient, produce his/her co-workers, family, clergy and neighbors. Lets see a video statement from all them and the hospital management, mayor and city council.
Take the Bible on faith, all others on proof....
take the bible on faith?
No thanks.

Nope, it's definitly NOT contained.
