CDC AUTHORIZED EBOLA AIRLINE FLIGHT

George Washington's picture




 

Staggering Negligence

The Centers for Disease Control said that the second nurse to catch Ebola at the Dallas hospital shouldn't have flown commercially.

But as CBS News reports, the CDC itself authorized her flight in advance:

In the case of Amber Vinson, the Dallas nurse who flew commercially as she was becoming ill with Ebola, one health official said "somebody dropped the ball."

 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that Vinson called the agency several times before flying, saying that she had a fever with a temperature of 99.5 degrees. But because her fever wasn't 100.4 degrees or higher, she didn't officially fall into the group of "high risk" and was allowed to fly.

Update: Confirmed by NBC News.

Top U.S. Military Leaders are Worried About Ebola

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – the American top military leader –  told CNN today:

“If you bring two doctors who happen to have that specialty [i.e. doctors who are experts in Ebola] into a room, one will say, ‘No there is no way it will ever become airborne, but it could mutate so it could be harder to discover,’ ” and another might say something completely different, Dempsey said.

 

He said he is alarmed by the World Health Organization’s warning that Ebola cases could increase and the virus could mutate.

“Then it will be an extraordinarily serious problem,” he said. “I don’t know who is right. I don’t want to take that chance, so I am taking it very seriously.”

The head of the U.S. Southern Command – the branch of the U.S. military responsible for all U.S. military activities in South America and Central America – says:

There is no way we can keep Ebola [contained] in West Africa.

 

If it breaks out [in Central America], it’s literally, ‘Katie bar the door,’ and there will be mass migration into the United States … They will run away from Ebola, or if they suspect they are infected, they will try to get to the United States for treatment.

[I saw how easy it is for illegals to enter the United States. While visiting the border of Costa Rica and Nicaragua with U.S. embassy personnel, I saw a group of men] waiting in line to pass into Nicaragua and then on their way north.

 

The embassy person walked over and asked who they were and they told him they were from Liberia and they had been on the road about a week. They met up with the network in Trinidad and now they were on their way to the United States — illegally, of course.

 

[The men] could have made it to New York City and still be within the incubation period for Ebola.

And he said:

The nightmare scenario, I think, is right around the corner.

 

A U.S. Border Patrol agent – and vice president of the National Border Patrol Council #3307 – agrees that mass migration could spread Ebola to the U.S. , and says that “NOTHING” has been done to secure the border in the event the Ebola virus spreads to Central America.

"Thank you for calling CDC my name is Peggy.  What is problem please?"

"I have been exposed to Ebola and have a fever. Tell me it is a mistake"

"Yes"

"Can I travel on a commercial airline?"

"Yes"

So how is it that Dempsey, our top military guy, gets it completely, and Obola, who has access to any expert he wants, is still drooling and reading comic books?

What is missing from the article, from Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/10/16/us-health-ebola-usa-idUSKCN0I4...

Vinson was transferred to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta by air ambulance and will be treated in a special isolation unit. Three other people have been treated there and two have been discharged, the hospital said in a statement. 

What three other people.

I doubt there are more than a handful of ZH readers who think this is just government ineptitude. This is by design. This is just part of the agenda for eliminating the White Christians. Which has been the goal of those who are shall we say relatives of the Bolsheviks of yore. They've been electing a new people through immigration since 1965. Now as they see their success they are a bit more emboldened and knowing that the Whites are dozing off and do not even care about their own demise they are pushing ahead.

Dr Frieden is a dual-citizen of Israel and the USSA. He has a place to run to that WILL NOT HAVE ANY ebola, why? Because Israel PROTECTS its borders and KEEPS Israel a Jewish state. If only we had the same sense, yet American Jews are all for open borders for us yet strict laws of immigration for Israel. Gee wonder why that is???

treat all border jumpers as ebola carriers, shoot to kill.

ban all travel to and from infected areas, and bar those with travel to said areas BEFORE they get on the flight. any airline allowing said travelers to board are subject to full civil and criminal liability and other massive fines, increasing with each violation.

 

so fucking simple.

This is not a random citizen with a fever given the OK to fly, this is a nurse who treated an Ebola patient!!!! But by all means keep engaging in feats of mental gymnastics to make sense of all the incredible incompetence.

The government is not the most efficient organization in the world.  High profile incidents covered by the media often reassures the public that the government stands ready to rush to our aid in case of a national disaster. Following a tornado or hurricane in the newscast we see FEMA workers spread-out and moving from door to door offering help to Americans in need.

This reassuring media coverage is misleading. Be prepared that in the case of a major crisis or disaster if you find yourself in an large area of devastation the government will prove largely ineffective. If and when a really large Armageddon event does occur we will quickly become acutely aware that God helps those who help themselves. More on this subject in the article below.

Ebola virus is so small (0.8-1 um x 0.08 um) that it can be spread even by the smallest droplets produced by a human breathing, talking, coughing, sneezing (smallest respiratory droplets are 5 um or smaller).

In this sense it absolutely is possible to be infected by droplets via air, and in addition the virus stays infectious for upto 90 minutes on surfaces. Anyone denying this is lying.

Parents of some Texas schoolchildren got an alarming letter today.

It seems that two students who attend Belton Independent School District were on the same flight from Cleveland to Dallas on which the most recently diagnosed Ebola victim flew. Amber Vinson, a nurse who had cared for America’s first Ebola victim, Robert Duncan, was running a fever and was hospitalized shortly after she disembarked from the plane.

CDC was looking to throw this woman under the bus, when ALL fault is there own.  Yet wait to hear the crickets when asked who will be fired.   You know what's really sad about having a flying requirement of a temperature of no more than 100.4?   Its the mere medical fact that not everybody has a normal temperature of 98.6.  My own internal normal is about 97 degrees.  If I have a 98.6 degree temperature I have a modest fever.  They're trying to apply a one body measure to everybody which is medically retarded.  Those that chose to do this, should have their medical license revoked.

Tom Freiden should resign immediately.

He's completely incompetent, is consistently spreading certifiably incorrect information, has repeatedly lied about the actual protocols CDC has/has not had in place in preparing for the eventuality of US Ebola cases, and his general demeanor & cluelessness in response to even basic questions are the classic hallmarks of and indicative of those of a hapless, ineffectual career bureaucrat - the kind that usually skate by in life until a crisis happens, revealing that they're not wearing any clothes.

Things are not what they seem. Too many things dont fit. Mistakes at every step is never an accident. They fucked up every time. Just like the Fed? Now might be a good time to spend some time putting all the pieces together for yourself. Nobody is goin to be in a possition to tell you the truth and prove it. Sure lots of thing are possible. But what is most likely?

 Confusion is todays flavor of koolaid?

For those interested:  The Ebola Syndrome

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KOIaHDPRWQ

Synopsis: Hong Kong 1986: A restaurant employee murders his boss and mutilates his wife, he escapes to South Africa where he rapes a Zulu-girl, who is infected with the ebola virus. In the restaurant where he now works he murders his boss and the bosses wife after raping her. He chops them up and makes them into hamburgers, which he sells in the restaurant, spreading the ebola virus. When the police come on his trail he moves back to Hong Kong and an ebola epidemic starts there.

There is lots of blood, violence and bad behavior. 

Enjoy.

This broad doesn't have one single ounce of medical experience. She doesn't even know what the words mean.
