Dallas Commissioners Will Declare State Of Disaster Tomorrow Over Ebola
While the message from the President is 'keep calm and avoid bodily fluids', it appears the commissioners in Dallas are slightly more concerned at the potential for Ebola to escalate:
- *DALLAS COMMISSIONERS TO DECLARE LOCAL STATE OF DISASTER TOMORROW: NBC-TV
- *DALLAS COUNTY CONSIDERS DECLARING STATE OF DISASTER FROM EBOLA
- *DALLAS DISASTER DECLARATION WOULD ACTIVATE EMERGENCY PLAN
While we are not sure where a "state of disaster" ranks relative to a "public health emergency" such as the one in Connecticut, we are certain of one thing - it will mean civil liberties will be reduced as government takes control.
BREAKING>> Emergency Dallas Commissioners Ct. Meeting Set for tomorrow at 2pm to declare Local State of Disaster
— Meredith Land (@MeredithNBC5) October 16, 2014

Welcome to the new normal American police state.
* * *
And then there's this... (as NBC Dallas reports)
Officials with Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas are apologizing for misdiagnosing the country's first Ebola patient.
In testimony that will be submitted to the House of Representives on Thursday, Dr. Daniel Varga, chief clinical officer at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, admitted to mistakes that were made during Thomas Eric Duncan's care when he first arrived at the hospital's emergency room.
"As the first hospital in the country to both diagnose and treat a patient with Ebola, we are committed to using our experience to help other hospitals and healthcare providers protect public health against this insidious virus, Varga said in the prepared testimony.
"It’s hard for me to put into words how we felt when our patient Thomas Eric Duncan lost his struggle with Ebola on October 8. It was devastating to the nurses, doctors, and team who tried so hard to save his life," Varga said in the statement. "We keep his family in our thoughts and prayers. Unfortunately, in our initial treatment of Mr. Duncan, despite our best intentions and a highly skilled medical team, we made mistakes. We did not correctly diagnose his symptoms as those of Ebola. We are deeply sorry."
* * *
Perhaps even more concerning is that the CDC appears to have given the second nurse infected with Ebola permission to fly (despite her reporting she had an elevated temperature), as CBS reports:
CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. John LaPook reports that Vinson called the CDC several times before boarding the plane concerned about her fever.
“This nurse, Nurse Vinson, did in fact call the CDC several times before taking that flight and said she has a temperature, a fever of 99.5, and the person at the CDC looked at a chart and because her temperature wasn’t 100.4 or higher she didn’t officially fall into the category of high risk.”
Vinson first reported a fever to the hospital on Tuesday (Oct. 14) and was isolated within 90 minutes, according to officials. She did not exhibit symptoms while on the Monday flight, according to crew members. However, the CDC says passenger notification is needed as an “extra level of safety” due to the proximity in time between the flight and the first reported symptoms.
“Those who have exposures to Ebola, she should not have traveled on a commercial airline,” said Dr. Frieden. “The CDC guidance in this setting outlines the need for controlled movement. That can include a charter plane; that can include a car; but it does not include public transport. We will from this moment forward ensure that no other individual who is being monitored for exposure undergoes travel in any way other than controlled movement.”

Yeah, and that's why this could get very fugly very quickly.
Even the ZH braintrust don't know how this thing is spreading, and it seems to like those who take the MOST precautions, which is disturbing and not good for humans.
It is going to prove to be most effective at eating away at health care staffing and capacity with a very few number of known infected, and everything is gong to just stop working soon after.
Get off the computer. Get out of the house. Get some exercise.
They screwed up, this thing is out of containment, it spreads by who knows what vector, and panic is coming soon.
Once an elemetary school, or major televised sporting event, are shuttered, the economy will grind to a halt.
After that first surge in retail sales, of course.
Oh well. Good luck everyone.

From the book: "To mess around with Ebola is an easy way to die. Better to work with something safer, such as Anthrax".
The 2d nurse should have known better than to act the way she did once she started showing an elevated temperature. This business of "I called the CDC" is a way to deflect legal action against her by Frontier airlines and any passengers who might contract this disease or endure "severe emotional distress" worrying for the next 21 days whether they might have contracted this more often than not deadly disease.
E-Z Ebola Transmission Vector
Warm moist foam (sponge) seat cushion or couch where Ebola virus survives for hours, on a bus, bus station, plane, airport, train, train station, cab, waiting room, hospital, doctor office, restaurant.
Coupled with patient sweating and various liquid emissions (blood, gas, bowel) into the cushion seat. Then next victim sitting in warm cushion in it and touching it and wiping it.
That specific seat is probably 'contagious' for 24 hours or more...the seat and virus kept warm and moist.
Hey, isn't Dallas doing "grey water" these days? Let's see - An Ebola victim uses her/his wash basin or shower introducing Ebola into the sewer system which basically comes back out to sprinkle your lawn and......
..... then there's the scenario where the toilet bowl refillls with the grey water/Ebola cocktail and Fido takes a sip then licks your face and........
What kind of person puts an entire nation at risk for their own selfish reason?
A normal, self absorbed, public school educated, reality tv entertained, red blooded, god fearing American nurse who hails from TX - silly!!!! ....

Step 1: Close the borders of the state because of Ebola
Step 2: Declare independence from the Union
Step 3: Adopt gold and silver as new currency
Step 1: Yes, but only after Step 4.
Step 2: Yes.
Step 3: Yes.
Step 4: Create libtard outrage so that the blue states will take in the govt benefit dependent crowd now living in Texas so that they won't be "underserved" here.
Step 5: Let the sheeple from outside of the Republic of Texas tote the bill to defend our borders from the US.
Don't worry the magnetic poles are reversing faster and faster. As the switch takes place the magnetic shield of the earth will be reduced to 10%. Even small solar flares will fry the earth. North America will be renamed to South America. Your right hand will become your left. The water in the toilet will spin the opposite direction. The TOTUS will turn white.. And, ebola will become alobe.
This is more of the 70 nurses that looked after Duncan. I hope they all make it.
Long SyFy's new season of Helix, featuring infected people vomiting black stuff and turning into zombies on steroids.
It turns out that there is a vaccine against Ebola. Pentagon scientists were developing it for 30 years, and all the rights for the drug belong to the government of the United States. Two infected US medics received injections of the vaccine and they started recovering from the disease immediately. Why has this been made public only now?
Why is it that the USA holds all the rights for the use of the vaccine?There can be two most obvious answers to these questions.As one can see, Ebola is a perfect biological weapon: it spreads quickly and gives nearly 100% mortality rate. Those having the life-saving vaccine can dictate any conditions to others.
The second answer is a purely commercial interest. It is enough to arrange panic with the help of the media, as it was the case with several epidemics before, such as avian flu. Afterwards, it will be possible to sell the life-saving medicine at any price.
However, Russian scientists doubt that the Americans created the medicine indeed. Russian scientists also conducted the research to study the nature of the virus to be able to create the vaccine against it. Soviet scientists, for example, Professor Alexander Butenko, was a member of the joint Soviet-Guinean expedition in 1982 and spent nearly a year in the rain forests of Guinea, when the then unknown virus was discovered.
Strategy of Biological WarfareOn Dec. 10, 1974, the U.S. National Security Council under Henry Kissinger completed a classified 200-page study, “National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.” The study falsely claimed that population growth in the so-called Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) was a grave threat to U.S. national security. Adopted as official policy in November 1975 by President Gerald Ford, NSSM 200 outlined a covert plan to reduce population growth in those countries through birth control, and also, implicitly, war and famine. Brent Scowcroft, who had by then replaced Kissinger as National Security Adviser (the same post Scowcroft was to hold in the Bush administration), was put in charge of implementing the plan. CIA Director George Bush was ordered to assist Scowcroft, as were the secretaries of state, treasury, defense, and agriculture.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
History is replete with examples of pandemics with millions to hundreds of millions of casualties.
Spanish flu, Smallpox, Plague(s)
These things are not jokes or things to by toyed with. Thus the extreme stupidity at how the USA handled their first cases of this disease....totaly apathetic stupidity... Waiting to see how bad something can get is not a good policy....
"Look, serf, .gov workers are smarter than you, so shut up and eat your Obola. Go back to your job as our revenue source so we do not have to work. Thanks, serf."
The question was, "what could possibly go wrong by letting unelected bureaucrats and rentseeking dual nationality administrators get put in charge of public health, public safety and policing?"
Excellent question. I guess we're gonna find out.
"New York City firefighters BANNED from saying 'Ebola' on the radio to avoid creating widespread panic: Firefighters in New York forbidden from using the word 'Ebola' on the radio. Instead, they must use the code letters 'F/T', as in Fever/Travel.

Congratulations to the first world leader to show some common sense.
It's primarily about protecting the fragile global economy, NOT about public health. The Banks run the show, hence the state of "pretend denial:"
"As with many topics, the U.S. government remains in a state of total denial about Ebola and seems to have prioritized "keeping people calm" over the far more important job of "halting Ebola infections." The primary worry now at the highest levels of government is that if the American people truly realized just how easily a level-4 biohazard "hot agent" virus was spreading in a U.S. hospital, the population would panic."

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 dropets via air, and in addition the virus stays infectious for upto 90 minutes on surfaces. Anyone denying this is lying.
Florescent green shirt color of Duncan's should be declare as Ebola's official color.
Virus stays infectious for 15.3 hours on hard surfaces under the right conditions. Link references US BioWarfare lab at Ft. Detrick, MD.

More of a liberal dog and pony show.
Until they ban flights and close the borders it's all just a show for the masses.
"White House shifts into crisis mode on Ebola…"
Cancelling your fund raising trip and scheduling a meeting is all I see our imperious leader doing. That's not crisis mode, that's spin mode.
If the Emperor cancels his next golf game you'll know the country is in deep shit.
Hey, I heard Obola can spread very easily through the air on golf courses. Especially in the climate around the DC area. I would avoid golf courses in that area, or play in a hazmat suit.
Backdoor Barry would rather have sex with a woman than miss a fundraiser.
"Reggie and I are really sorry millions of you are going to die. Really."
"The CDC guidance in this setting outlines the need for controlled movement. That can include a charter plane; that can include a car; but it does not include public transport."
So let me get this straight. The CDC says if you've been exposed to one person in the US with Ebola, do not get on a commercial flight, but if you've been exposed to an entire country rife with ebola, come on in partner!
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.

"The government is not the most efficient organization in the world."
You sure about that? Any sources? /sarc
That is brilliantly succint and underlines the sheer madness of their tactics.
Now the hospital's apologized, and the CDC has acknowledged its error, and everybody's hugged it out, I guess I feel alot safer. I'll come down to join the party right after I clean this blood off my toilet seat.
This is like a bad scifi movie.
Why scifi and not horror?

I'm so sorry for allowing thousands of Americans to become infected with Ebola. I promise I won't let it happen again.
I smell a big Pharma deal with letting the ebola patients into the US. Normally the market for a vaccine would be incredibly small, however, stir a little fear into the pot and 200 million Americans will line up for it at $200 a pop.

On vacation in Az a few years ago I ran into a group of men all carrying side arms as I went to get my morning coffee. I seemed to be the only person that wasn't alarmed as the California tourist's mouthes gaped open in horror. Turned out they were the minutemen preparing for a meeting with the Governor. Find myself praying their ranks have swelled and they can close our southern border.
Where's Miffed?
Any professional thoughts on how soon Ebola virus gets into the blood supply? (old enough to flashback to when HIV was in the blood supply and in products made from blood.) I work with intravenous immune globulin daily and will be switching to using heavier "chemo" gloves as it is made from 60000 blood donors. Standard virus inactivation manufacturing processes might be sufficient versus ebola virus, or might not. Eventually, ebola survivors may be forced to donate blood to make a specialized IVIG versus ebola.
Miffed is taking a few days off. Her husband informed ZH yesterday.
Obama and Frieden think Americans need to be world citizens. Thats right, we need to accept diseased west africans into the country with open arms, then give them 500k of free health care at taxpayers expense. Not to mention expose ourselves to the disease and risk the lives of millions. If ever there was a case to impeach this president, this is it. If they can't do it now, when can they?
Did this nurse simply tell CDC "gee, I have a very mild fever, may I board the plane?" or did she say, "Gee, I tended Duncan as a nurse in Dallas, you know, the guy who just died of Ebola and who infected another nurse. I now have a slight fever.... is it still okay to board?"
For some reason, these news reporters don't seem able to ask the obvious questions....
