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.

I think we'll skip the Taste of Dallas African Fest this year.
We cancelled our antiques and auction expedition.
CDC says the worker was infected due to a 'breach in protocol'. This is highly unlikely as the worker is observing a painful death and would follow protocol to the letter. The REAL problem is the Ebola itself is no longer following 'the CDC protocol' - and instead is trying to reproduce and make more 'little Ebolas' as fast and efficiently as possible.
Yup, BLAME THE NURSE!
It's her fault.
Because the CDC knows everything, never lies to Americans, and has Ebola CONTAINED.
If anyone is actually getting ebola, they're being given it by the government and CDC. But the government loves you. They wouldn't murder their own citizens or civilians would they? NAW! /sarc
Today's word is 'exponential'. Exponential. Can you use that in a sentence?
As the CDC keeps fucking up and not admitting it, public lynchings of officials will start seeminly slow at first, and will then progress along at an exponential rate, as more and more members of the public learn "how" to hang public officials.
Hanging is so... primative. I think it makes more sense to arrest them on legitimate charges, and release them on their own recognizance 72 hours later.
Of course the holding cell they're forced to stay in for those three days in the meantime... Well, you know, we've got a lot of people out sick so our corrections officer Fred here just puts everyone together in one cell, so he can keep on eye on that sweating dude and the arrested officials without leaving his post.

The exponential growth of blaming EVERYTHING on Obama is hilarious.
But according to you NOTHING is his fault.
"The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function." - Albert Allen Bartlett.
The Federal Reserve's printing presses create notes in an exponential fashion. That was easy!
that is much closer...
my .308is exponentially better than a .556

There is no Ebola. It's all a lie to cause fear and panic in the population. A population in fear is a population easily controlled.
Don't let them take you down the path of panic. You just play into their hands. Anyway, anyone who is familiar with infectious disease knows that these patients in pictures absolutely do NOT have ebola. People with Dengue fever look much worse than that, and ebola liquifies your internal organs.
But again, there has never been a confirmed case out of very wet and hot climates (like found in Congo) until this scam.
To believe this scenario, you must trust the mainstream media, the CDC and the WHO. Do you trust them? What credible evidence do you have to make an intelligent assessment.
Nevermind the fact that a "pandemic" benefits the US government greatly. Qui Bono?
a look at Ebola in photo's
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2789656/the-horror-ebola-shockin...
looks real enough for me to believe
Hollywood can accomplish this and do easily.
I see a bunch of people crying because people in PPE are taking body bags away (presumably with a loved one inside). That is the fact. That's the ONLY data in the photos.
I did not see people with lesions, or clear cases of Ebola. Dengue fever is also pretty fatal, has similar symptoms and actually IS in Liberia, Nigeria, etc. You don't know what caused those people to presumably die. Neither do I.
They may have actually infected a few people. Who knows? These people are not above cold blooded murder, especially of non-whites in far away lands.
Most people here concede ISIS is a CIA operation, the media is completely captured by the same, but suddenly when it comes to a few highly controlled sick people, everyone believes the US government??? Where's the logic? Qui Bono?
Hey if its just a lie, just go there and document it. You should be able to do a couple of book/movie deals. Put your money where your mouth is.
A friend of mine has a colleague in Nigeria who tells him nothing is going on there ebola wise.
Does your friend have a colleague in Liberia? Sierra Leone? Guinea? We do know that Nigeria put down their first outbreak.
Looks like the show "How I met your Mother" was cancelled too soon. Maybe Modern Family can do a live show on location at Mr. Duncan's guest stopover.
And here is that Dallas disinfection procedure in full
Yes, and the people in Africa that are removing bodies from houses in very simple PPE have claimed to remove 5,000 bodies with no infections of the removal staff. They even sent a skynews reporter with them with a simple mask and goggles.
This is all utter bullshit.
Kent Brantley (sp?) can't figure out how he got infected despite taking precautions. Neither can the nurse in Dallas.
I thought all the Army NBC training in MOPP IV was a waste of time. Guess not.
His Family is Screwed. I don't have much hope for pressure washer man either. let's Hope/Pray it didn't make it in to the school! This needs to be stopped in Dallas. 6.06
Actually if there was a shitload of bleach in the washing solution, and they let a low-pressure spray hit the vomit and sit a while, washer dude could be OK.
I seriously wonder if we'll actually hear the truth about his family if they get sick. If they want to scare people we will, if not, we won't. Maybe best to wait until a few days before the election to break that news.
If the dollar collapses what do you think will happen to Ebola prevention and containment?

This person will likely die. At least one other person will be infected from her, and it will go on. It may not reach epic status soon, but I'll wager dollors to doughnuts that there are more cases in the US than we are being told, and eventually, the world is going to have a real goddamn problem. When this gets to Central/South America it will explode. If it gets to the Middle East, India, or other arts of Eurasia, it'll explode.
Just don't take the vaccine they are likely to roll out once everyone is good and scared....that'll make the virus go shithouse on North America.
This virus is going to eat away at the health infrastructure and will degrade healthcare for everyone. ICU and ER nurses are already in short supply. What's going to happen when every ebola case takes out another highly trained provider, or two? Frieden's delusional "it can't happen here" model is a fail. The ultra left wing extremists in public health and in the Obama administration have no ability to make sound, common sense decisions. Their disdain for America couldn't be more obvious.
Hello!!! I'm new to Zero Hedge!! But not new to looking at the web site. Im sure you know that the CDC and WHO and so forth have been lying to everyone about Ebola. There are over 20,000 deaths so far in Africa, and I'm sure you folks are smart enough to know that it is in the US. More than is being let-on... I'm am just trying to warn those whom want to listen, there is a vaccine ready for the population in the US, and what is in this vaccine is much worse that having Ebola, I hope you will listen and do your own research... This is what will happen to you if you take the vaccine... www.fvza.org/ zsociology.htmll
Notice the exposure came on his second admission, not his ER visit. PPE will protect you, but they need to be put on and taken off properly. There is potentially infectious material on the gowns and gloves. Final note-EN-68D has spread form Colorado to Nj and killed a number of kids. Guess we wont hear about that until somebody (FOX) figures out a way to tie it in with the Southern Border, President Obama and ISIS.
An increase in virus infections and new virus disease is baked into the cake. Larger populations give more hosts. Man moving into tropical wilderness, as in Africa, allows more animal virus to jump to humans. Large animal production of pigs and chickens in human populated areas, like any Chinese village, allows virus to jump between them. All three mean more disease. The laws of physics come into play at the basic level of even disease, and thus we will have more viral disease. Ebola is proof of this, if ever it was needed!
Flights from Ebola country continue every single hour of every day. Why? Also, the experimental drug, a three protien cocktail that targets the viral spikes it uses to attach to cells, has shown a 100% cure rate in monkies. Production to scale right now is not even being considered! Why? And this is fact! "The drug companies see little potential for large profits" Why? Because the drug is a CURE! That means a few shots and the patient needs no more drug company products. Profit comes from cronic treatment, heart disease, cancer, and others.
I do not know if the new drug is 100% cure in humans, I doubt it, but I bet it is a high cure rate. Targeting the viral spikes is classic anti viral pratice, and the man who developed this drug is a hero, in my opinion. He is trying to manufacture more, but it takes months to run the process, and he does not have capital or manpower to go for large scale production. Meanwhile government does nothing to help him, and drug companies don't see the profit, so sit on the sidelines. A very sick system!
Jack, where can we read more about this drug?
PBS "Frontline" ran a program this week. Google should find it.
Obama opens our borders to countries decimated by ebola thereby guaranteeing it will spread to the poor and underpriviledged here. The 25 year old health care worker would not be dying from Ebola if Obama wanted to protect us by somply denying entry to individuals from east Africa.
Obama told us repeatedly that it is unlikely Ebola will infect the US. Then he told us it is unlikely Ebola will spread. Within days of Obama's pronouncements we have Ebola, our first Ebola death and even a second patient. The second patient is fully trained health care worker who wore full protective gear.
Obama's minions tell us how hard it is for Ebola to spread. You have to come into direct contact with bodily fluids from an infected patient after the patient is symptomatic. That is what Obama's minions say.
If you want to survive this crisis ignore what Obama says and instead watch what his minions do:
1. Hazmat crew cleans the patient's home.
2. Hazmat crew cleans all common areas of the apartment complex.
3. Pets are killed.
4. Round up everyone having direct contact with the patient and quaranteen them.
Clearly Obama's minions believe these steps and more are required yet they refuse to stop the free flow of individuals from countries decimated by Ebols. When Ebola strikes Central and South America everyone with Ebola will be brought to the US so that they might be saved. In addition everyone fleeing Ebola will relocate here.
look for flight controls out of W. Africa shortly after the elections.
At least one lawmaker sees the logic.

Jesus, Obama is far from perfect...........but is EVERYTHING bad in the world his fault. I'll bet so many white people never thought they would be so obsessed with a black man
He's no more black than he is white. You know? Obsessed w/ a black man? Simpletons need not apply...

It doesn't have a damn thing to do with his color, only his golf handicap, meaning he spends too much time wasting time instead of being a responsible president.
Care to list one thing he hasn't screwed up? I'm trying to come up with something ...
Crickets ...
Obviously Obama's actions that are bringing ebola into the US will impose far more death and destruction on our impoverished inner cities than gated millionaire communities. Some twisted bigots here will say impoverished inner cities deserve ebola because they voted for Obama and support his policy.
Only wish I had an answer for them. Clearly Obama is sacrificing his most loyal supporters to achieve some other goal. What is that goal? Why in the world are east africans still flowing into the US?
As President, Bill Clinton said, "By the time you're president, someone else makes all the decisions".
Bullshit. Not this guy.
Dude, did you forget to take your meds?
Like race has anything to do with th ineptness of Obola
It has EVERYTHIG to do with the fact the Obola is a complete imbecile, and that he is in way ovr his empty skull, with no plan, no clue, and no **lls
Idiot dems like you have no defense to this idiots stupidity, so they go to the tried and true race card, but in reality you are the racist.
Cameron in the UK, the white Obama, he is just as bad. He damands that the borders to West African flights remain open, and all are welcome in Britain, with it's free National Health Service, paid for by residents taxes. But this system is open to all comers. Africans know this, and African with some cash who fears ebola, or that he might have come into contact with ebola, he will use that money to buy a plane ticket. I ask this, check the British VISA system in Africa, see how many applications and check for increases. I bet, I bet it has gone exponential! Get that visa and an airlien ticket. A modern and free, and unlimited health care system is waiting for you right at Heathrow airport. The ambulance will pick you up at arrivals, and you will get all the care money can buy.
Cameron is a cunt! He should be dragged through the streets of London to the Tower, where Henry the VIII's ghost will see to young David C. the golden boy of the elites.
We are a day's drive from Dallas. Son is paramedic.
When the CDC announced directives for states to address with emergency medical folks, I linked my son to the data. He'd not seen it yet.
Interestly, the response from the county? They handed out a big brochure to first responders.
No training mentioned.
They don't have HazMat suits.
These workers will assume flu when they respond and are not properly trained to deal with any of this...at least so far.
Each and every county's emergency management personnel should be addressing this NOW - during this somewhat quiet time. Every single person needs to know what to do.
Right now? Emergency workers on the frontlines are being ignored as of right now and have no access to protection.
Criminal negligence.
Depraved indifference
Collateral damage, just like the drone missiles that blow up civilians, including Americans.

Its a very convenient excuse to roll out Marshall Law and let the powers that be finally take over. Common sense says sorry mate you were in Africa and bumped in to Ebola, your fooking staying there. Not lets all USA/UK/EU fly some Ebola in and see what happens! Never mind, America I am sure the American public will call for an invasion of Ebola so you can free the shit out of it!

I don't get it. Something doesn't compute. We'll spend billions of dollars, collect data on every person on the planet, track and hunt down a "suspected" terrorist anywhere in the wolrd, send in teams of special ops to "neutralize" the "potentially" offending party (or drone the fucker and his innocent family, who may have done absolutely nothing to harm anyone in the U.S.). And we'll spend trillions to destablize countries around the world. And yet we stand by helplessly while we let walking, living virus-time-bombs enter our country by the hundreds everyday. WTF? The average person knows we are playing Russian Roullet with a serial Killer. Everyday we let this go on, the odds shift dramatically and geometrically against us... all of us...in favor of this virus Killer. Since the primary responsibility of government is to protect its citizens from foriegn threats, our government is, at the very least, criminally negligent.
Really you don't get it? It's simple. The government doesn't work for you
Your idea that it the primary responsibility of government is to protect it's citizens is.,, Naive to put it politely.

DON'T PANIC! Gubermit officials have determined that the medical worker brought a SANDWICH into the patient's room and accidently dropped it into a pool of bodily fluids before consuming it. Ebola is CONTAINED...now go take out a new HELOC and buy some designer pet food from a specialty shop.
"If confirmed, it would be the first known person-to-person transmission of the disease in the United States."
The CDC has reportedly confirmed this case as a positive test for Ebola:
For Immediate Release: Sunday, October 12, 2014
http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2014/s1012-ebola-confirmed-texas-healt...
excerpt:
"Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed test results reported late last night by the Texas Department of State Health Services’ public health laboratory showing that a healthcare worker at Texas Presbyterian Hospital is positive for Ebola. The healthcare worker, who provided care for the Dallas index patient, was isolated soon after symptoms started and remains so now."
One Ebola person transported to the U.S., one American HCW EVD infection confirmed: Ro rate = one.
Congratulations Frieden, O'Bola, Valerie. You're batting 100.
That hobo with "THE END IS NIGH" board strapped to him doesn't look so crazy in these troubled days.
CDC, the centers for disease control and retention.
this has been the ultimate slow motion train wreck hasen't it?
controlled? contained?
not likely, but I guess we are all about to find out. still they tell us that there is no need to panic, no cause to be upset or worried over a virus that until a few weeks ago only existed in the US in level 4 containment labs.
level 4, home of the nastiest stuff on earth, each specimen representing natures most lethel killers. now one of the worst of the worst is out in the wide world with all new genetic playgrounds to run free in. and what happens when mr. ebola meets it's new next door neighbor mr. influenza? we are after all heading into prime flu season.
don't forget your flu shots...
yet there is no need to concern yourself with any of this according to the CDC and the federal government, all while our media trip over eachother to be the first to accuse each other of fear mongering. note now fear of this virus is the real problem, not the virus itself and we all just need to accept that everything is under control.
I wonder do they make a pill for ebola related anxiety attacks?
so what we have here is yet another socail engineering program to rob us of our natural and most basic emotional response to a very real and very life threating sisuation...emotionless sheep are placid and dumb and very easy to control. this outbreake, which is well on it's way to becoming a pandemic, may or may not have been intentional but you can be sure the reponse by our government and related agencies is very much deliberate, purposeful and ment to have a specific and pre-determined outcome.
there are times when fear and concern are the correct response and the appreance of a lethel virus never before seen in the US is one of those times. some fear and perhapes even a little bit of panic might just be exactly what is needed right now because the frontlines of this battle, where it will be decided how far, how much and how fast this thing spreads will not be in er's and isolation units. it will be out here on the streets, in the stores and malls, on the subways, buses and trains, everywhere and anywhere people gather in close contact. a little bit of fear and panic might just shake us out of our normalcy bias, might just inspire us all to adjust our behaviour in such a way that could save lives in the long run.
so now is the time to worry, now is the time to be very concerned, now is the time to feel threatened by this smallest of lifeforms which presents a greater threat to us than any terrorist or other fabled enemy ever could.
now is the time...before it's to late.
Reuters checks with health departments in six states and cities that have large West African communities, Philadelphia, Boston, New York City, Minnesota, New Jersey, Maryland and Rhode Island, show that they are scrambling to adapt those generic plans to Ebola. (and Dallas)
Basically if you live in any of these cities you should sell your house, get your kids out of school and head for the hills. Don't forget to take your dogs and cats bitchez.
That means every airport between Ny and MN is probably the next hot zone.

Backup lights, guns, and friends made our neighborhood a lower-priority target. But we have a bugout plan if this disease gets out of the isolation ward. Or if we face another extended power outage.

Because it is viral.
It's only "viral" when it spreads like wild fire on the interwebs.

This spread means the FEDs lied and now need to be held accountable. The globalists in D.C. appear to be willing to treat Americans even worse than mid easterners. Looks like revolution to me.
Do you have a link?
give it a couple of more cases and there wont be any healthcare workers at hospitals
My wife works at the hospital where Mr. Duncan was treated. And what you said is on the edge of happening; the hospital patient census dropped 70% since Mr. Duncan first second arrived, and staff are suddenly taking a lot more sick days. They're having trouble staffing basic services, so if you are one of the patients left there... you might be on your own if another case or two crops up.
However, reporter attendance is way up, and for whatever reason they all want to walk into the isolation ward to get the big story. Except we've already established what happens to people in there.
Lab Mike, thanks for your input, that's what I come here for. Bon chance to you and your family.
Which heritage would you identify the nurse as being from?
Let me know when it hits the 3rd world where they're stacked like cord wood. I will be turning off the TV for sure by then, don't want to see orphaned children wimpering while they shit themselves to death alone in the streets. Best prepare ourselves emotionally in addition to other preperations.
So by what right and power has this judge Jenkins lawfully inserted himself into the jurisdiction of a haz mat team / medical doctor by gong into the 1st ebola patient's apartment? And by whose authority does judge Jenkins oversee the medically safety of Dallas community? Last time I checked judges worked in a courthouse. How many citizens of Texas and the U.S. has this dufus judge put at risk by his actions and words?
The good judge is, among other things, the Regional Director or some such title for Homeland Security.
Dallas area hospitals are holding more than one...from West Africa...it is medical privacy laws that allow the concealment of the true nature. of this now endemic Ebola outbreak..sick returning west Africa aid contract nurses treated in islotation after reporting sick after returning home are not discussed.. the epidemic will manifest itsself in a week or two... the R naught of this is way over R1....as is being propagandized..."no more contagious than bla.bla.bla..what is more likely this will take whole number percentages of population"...all of his family and friends had contact ...whats that 8-10 souls ?...then the neighbors..in the complex exposed by pressure wash aerosol of his emissis...friends happy to greet thier friend...the 'SECOND' patient, most likely an "A" team caregiver...((think hospital officials were taking this lightly?))....CDC is standing up large numbers of type 3 containment trained caregivers at Aniston for the promised Armed forces hospitals to West Africa.....get your gloves and N95 masks now....and can you survive one month at home ?? just sayin...pray for the best
Will you survive a suspension of your civil rights in a State of Emergency?
Will the politicians?
Joe Schmuck was pissing Budweiser after the NFL game.
As he was relieving himself with pride, a fine dust of piss, deposited previously from Ebola carrier, sprinkled his pants.
Later Joe went to McDonalds and, as he licked his fingers and wiped the saliva and grease on his pants, a little drop of piss with Ebola was deposited inside his mouth.
apparently this ebola virus can
survive much better than let on
Marburg and Ebola are the same virus
The survival of filoviruses in liquids, on solid substrates and in a dynamic aerosol
Conclusions: Our study has shown that Lake Victoria marburgvirus (MARV) and Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) can survive for long periods in different liquid media and can also be recovered from plastic and glass surfaces at low temperatures for over 3 weeks. The decay rates of ZEBOV and Reston ebolavirus (REBOV) plus MARV within a dynamic aerosol were calculated. ZEBOV and MARV had similar decay rates, whilst REBOV showed significantly better survival within an aerosol.

"Among the things CDC will investigate is removal of protective gear, because removing gear incorrectly can lead to a contamination".
To be 100% sure that there are no secondary transmissions you'd need a full decontamination facility which they do not have at Texas Presbyterian. There are not many across the US.
It's not time to panic yet. The world is very unstable and a mild out break could have a devastating affect financially, sociably and geopolitical. The folly that lead to this is sadly, normal for the US these days. Einstein was right when he said common sense was "uncommon".

In other news, Nigeria has contained its Ebola outbreak with only 20 cases and 8 deaths...
https://www.google.com/search?q=nigeria+ebola+news#q=nigeria+contains+eb...
Correction, Nigeria has contained its first Ebola outbreak.
They say the worker wore full protective gear while treating Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian man who died Wednesday at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. The worker doesn't know how she became infected, and officials suspect a breach in infection control protocols.
They are looking into how the worker removed her personal protective gear, which includes a gown, two sets of gloves, a face mask and an eye shield.
Yeah, that's the crux of it. Disrobe at your peril. Suits are disposable, you are not:
Make sure you exit
Where you touched no infected
Mask might have been the problem.
You ever serve time in .mil?
They make us wear a breathing mask, but every sweaty unsat meatbag huffs around it, so when they holler "gas gas gas!" he humps noisily like a wounded fart.
Lazy flatulence introduces death to a Texas nurse. Prosaic.
game changer potential is huge. Transport/ public gatherings/ quarantine [& possible martial law]/ economic /etc..
agenda21 ? or coincidence ?
or storm-in-a-teacup ?
Since a relatively low volume of bleach to water kills the virus, why are they not having health care workers go to a decontamination room where they stay in their protective gear and are misted with bleach water, wait 5-10 minutes, then discard their protective gear?
The CDC's own PDF shows removing gloves first and after the 1st one is off and placed in the remaining gloved hand, you dig the fingers of your ungloved hand under the remaining glove at the wrist before peeling it off with the 1st glove in that last glove hand (baiscally peeling it off on top of the first glove you took off before throwing it away). Heck if that seems full-proof.
I wouldn't dream of removing PPE contaminated with Ebola without a bleach rinse-off. What are these people thinking? Can't they see those folks trundling around with bleach solution sprayers in West Africa? You need fewer than 10 virus particles to become infected. 10.
Head to toe Tyvec, 2 pairs gloves, rubber boots, full face respirator with P100/HEPA, all sealed with tape. Everything gets sprayed down with bleach after being contaminated, including the bottoms of the boots. Otherwise, people will continue to die, IMHO.
Hopefully the lab samples are being handled properly.
take the patented vaccine shots.
apes you have the monkey virus
bill gates has the patent
he can help.

So it appears our destructor is not going to be the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man after all...
On Topic--Boston Beth Isreal Medical Center is announcing a suspect E-thang case.
Regardless your ethnic/political/religious/combination of above/ whatever--
This is some serious shit and, well, our Devaluator is entirely willing to shut down MY Commonwealth for a) snow, b) some fucking Chechan i) "refugee" or b) political whatsis.
Me a'bettin' that the Devaluator (all 4 foot 4 of his self) will await orders.

Fucker took a LARGE bribe. Second thing, when you are in an epidemic .... use experimental shit.
Non-contact thermometers?
These infrared thermometers are extremely inacurrate we have them at work.
And they are using these in the airports? OMG.
It's all for show. They might catch 10% of actual Ebola cases incoming that way, so accuracy is not really an issue in the big picture.
Takes 1 minute or less to take everyone's temperature. You'll wait in the immigrations line anyway. Bunch of ear plastic cones or plastic thermometer covers cost next to nothing.
Just completely stupid.
China and India are pretty crowded places.If China collapses,they dump Treasuries.
Then we,are totally screwed.Also,who goes to Greece nowadays for vacation? Ukraine? Ferguson,MO?
Countries depend on tourism,restaurants,etc. Bunch of dying zombies in the streets isn't gonna help.
We are in the all clear now, because Obola has asked the CDC TO speed investigation of victim 2
OBOLA Obola obola, you are our "leader',,,empty suit loser
