We got this, its contained!!!! Trust me
You know, a few days ago, I wasn't worried about an outbreak in Dallas and, I'd still like to think that at least this set of patients would we contact traced and we'd get this particular set of cases stopped.
I'm not sure it's stopped now.... Hopefully it will be soon.
How is the 3rd world going to deal with this.... I guess all we have to do is look to Africa to see.... The virus is spreading exponentially.... Even in Dallas, the patient infected 2 workers ( so far )... it proves how deadly this thing is.... It may already be too late to do anything about it in Africa....
This thing is beginning to look like Capt. Tripps.
Hopefully pressure washer guy took a bleach shower when he got home.
CDC watching 125... in Texas, including boyfriend and dog
“It’s possible we will see other people become ill,” CDC’s Frieden said.
I can hardly wait to hear what Dr. Tommy Boy Frieden has to say about this in the press conference he must be furiously pasting and stapling together right now. My bet is that he won't be reiterating his "I am 100% confident that we will stop this in it's tracks" lunacy from his first Duncan self-promo bullshit press conference.
Long irradiation chambers
And cremation equipment makers
Open Mic Statement: "The nurses were given our front line Anti Ebola Vaccine... But they contracted it from outside!!! Really, they did!! "
Short airlines as a start.
The focus for right now has been on hospitals. But I gotta tell ya I'm envisioning dentists and all their blood-handling personnel are in almost the same hazardous environment. Maybe even more so when you consider the 'misting' drills etc., project out.
Hospitals are just the spear point. For now.
Dog has EBOLA?
The dog belonging to the Dallas nurse infected with Ebola has been moved to quarantine in a decommissioned naval base. Nina Pham was happy to hear Bentley was doing just fine. Jane Pauley reports.
Turkish Airlines aircraft flying from Istanbul to Pisa made an emergency landing because of the risk of Ebola virus, the Turkish newspaper Sabah reports Oct. 15.

This is the text from a document my wife received from her hosptial's infectious disease group. She is an ER physician at a level 1 trauma center in central FL.
Ebola Screening: Exposure concern: ALL body fluids.
1. Emergency Department-
Triage RN screening question: Have you been to West Africa in past 21 days and do you have a fever or other
symptoms such as severe headache, muscle pain, vomiting, fatigue, unexplained bleeding or diarrhea? If yes, don
N95 mask, goggles, isolation gown, and double gloves and place patient in negative air flow room, implement care,
and call Infection Prevention Clinician on-call. If no, but been to West Africa, further screening will occur by ED
RN/physician.
2. Admitting Department-
Main admitting, decentralized registration, and ambulatory sites
Ask patient: Have you been to West Africa in the past 21 days? If yes, place patient in a private room, and notify
Rapid Response Team to evaluate for fever or other symptoms as listed above. Document response in the
documents tree in the Registration pathway. Rapid Response team will wear N95 mask, goggles, isolation gown and
double gloves to assess for fever and symptoms. If fever or other symptoms present, place patient in blue isolation
gown, mask with eye shield, call ED to prepare room and transport to the ED. ED will notify Infection Prevention.
3. Transfer Center:
Ask all transfers in “has the patient been to West Africa in the past 21 days?” If yes, tell them you will have
Infection Prevention call them back in a few minutes. Call Infection Prevention and document in the documents
tree in the Registration pathway.
4. Phone scheduling/registration
Ask all patients being registered or scheduled on the phone: “have you been to West Africa in the past 21 days?”
If yes, tell them you will have Infection Prevention call them back in a few minutes. Call Infection Prevention and
document in the documents tree in the Registration pathway
5. Nursing
Two Infection Prevention Screening questions are in the Admission Navigator: 1) Travel history to West Africa
in past 21 days; and 2) Travel history to West Africa in the past 21 days and has a fever of 100.4 or symptoms
including severe headache, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, unexplained bleeding or muscle pain. If patient
has fever or symptoms plus travel history to West Africa within past 21 days, BPA will alert to place patient in Strict
Isolation and call Infection Prevention immediately.
i. Don N95 mask, goggles, isolation gown, and double gloves
ii. Place patient in private negative airflow room with anteroom – specifically K 5431 or 5437 would
be first choice, followed by K5110 or 5114, and 3rd
iii. Use Dangerous Contagious Disease Contact form- Appendix A to have someone record names and
contact information of anyone who has had contact with the patient- this can be found on the
portal included in the policy- IC 33
iv. Order Ebola cart from SPD
v. Do not allow visitors to enter room
vi. Do not allow removal of any supplies, trash or linen until cleared by Infection Prevention
General Instructions for Care:
1. Place in anteroom in ED K2301 and K2302, Neuro ICU K5431, K5437, K5453, K5457, Trauma ICU K 5110, K5114
2. Notify Infection Prevention upon arrival to room and Supervisor/Manager who will notify NAOC.
3. Order Ebola Cart from SPD
4. Assign one RN to the patient for the shift. RN to take care of no other patient.
5. Infection Prevention will assist with donning and removal of personal protective equipment.
6. Wear yellow jump suit, N95 mask, face shield, shoe covers and double gloves when entering room.
7. Security and Infection Prevention to control access to room. Limit care givers.
8. Leave all trash in the room until further guidance provided.
9. Patient to remain in room for all testing.
10. Infection Prevention to be on the unit during patient admission to provide guidance (24/7).
11. Once patient leaves ED room or discharged, contain room without anyone to access, until cleared by Infection
Prevention.
Check the warm moist cushion seats on couches and chairs on...airplanes, airports, hospitals, doctor offices, wiaiting rooms, cars, trains, buses, restaurants...the virus will harbor there.
Virus survive in warm moist areas.

Just what we need to solve this plague problem, guys in suits and ties. The black guy in the back, who was he supposed to represent? At the next presser, they should get a guy in a white lab coat to tell us our fears of Ebola are not justified. One word describes these jokers: incompetents. Highly paid incompetents who job now is to lie to the public about a disease they know nothing about.
I've learned so far there are only twenty (20) class-4 confinement rooms in the USA with negative air pressure (used years ago for TB patients). There are only two (2) at the VA's. The only way to confine would be a 'camp' type onfinement or "Logan's Run" style acid bath/meltdown and mop-up operation (once you are Ebolized).
Run, Logan, run !
We're going camping?
Better pack the snacks.
There was a Default infection control plan called Bio-Shield with 30 locations spread over 36 States. It was purpose-ably not followed. The first victims should have been quarantined at level 4 or 5.
All done by design, all done by agenda.
Incompetent government.
Incompetent FED.
Incompetent Bankers.
Incompetent Health Officials.
Incompetent populace.
Incompetent everything, except when committing genocide on continent wide scales and plunder and instigating wars in far away countries.
You Americans are so cute.
That is Zachary Thompson. He is the top health-dude in Dallas. Perfect for causing panic when he goes down in a week or so *
*Here is a picture of him leaving Duncan's apartment all suited-up (in a suit and tie).
Haha those two dudes are screwed. I'll bet you holmes is shitting bricks about right now wondering when his headache and stomach pains are going to start.
How long before we have two homegrown Infected-in-America cases popping up in the same day? Before the elections, maybe?
No, they're going to delay that until after the elections, just like they're delaying posting the Obolacare price increases.
This hospital has got to be bleeding cash by now. Nobody in their right mind would go there for anything now. I don't even know how they are managing to get staff to show up for work until the CDC gets a handle on the delivery mechanisms for this thing.
They will point fingers everywhere except at their own incompetencies
Nurses cite sloppy conditions in Ebola care at Dallas hospitalhttp://nypost.com/2014/10/15/nurses-cite-sloppy-conditions-in-ebola-care...
Dallas, We have a problem
Looks like RIGHT NOW would be a good time to split into our 5 states.
Maybe good plan. Borders, firewalls, force-fields up !
Please allow me to point out the OBVIOUS in that the CDC should have been all over that hospital like stink on shit the first moment Ebola was confirmed. They should then have IMMEDIATELY transferred him to a Bio-Safety Level 4 facility wherein positive pressure whole body suits could be worn by any caregivers. The talk about treating this viral outbreak in open air hospitals is INSANE. Pure LUNACY!!!!!
Something I have been wondering...
How does CDC (big gov) coming down in force and taking over the operation jive with Libertarian philosophy?
Because in a world where bad actors are often indemnified arbitrarily, removing the liability mechanism of a free market, the only remaining and at least remotely Constitutionally supportable role for the federal government is to protect the populace from dire external threats.
A political philosophy is not a suicide pact. If survival calls for something to be done that does not fit the philosophy and those who adhere to it won't do it--well, do you see any more authentic Shakers around to make their distinctive furniture style?
CDC protocol calls Ebola a level 4 contagion - bsl4 - there are only 19 beds in the entire us that are bsl4 level.
So what the CDC is saying is it is ok to break their own protocol and treat a level 4 contagion in a bsl2 level 2 isolation ward -
So we follow protocol Only until something really bad happens then we ditch it?
That makes ZERO sense - seems like they should be More vigilant not less -
But if we look at the New Orleans response to the hurricane it all makes sense -
Morons run the world - and it ain't gonna end pretty
The CDC doesn't have the experience with this stuff that USAMRIID does. USAMRIID should be put in charge because the threat is existential to the nation. The military does not wring its hands. They make very clear-eyed assessments very quickly and take whatever action is necessary.
Come and get your daily ebola doomer fix Bitchezz!
That's not a normal "we got this" press conference. I tuned in just as one of them said ".... we need your help with this, people." It didn't get better from there.
One step down, eleven to go. Not sure if we'll make it at the rate they're going.
Make that 'Eleventy',
...and I'm all in.
Now we have another hundred or so individual who might be unknowingly infected, travelling wherever, doing whatever, fucking whoever, ect. Way to go Frieden, you jackass.
Don't forget the still unidentified homeless man who was the next passenger to ride in the ambulance immediately after it was used to transport Duncan.
Since Duncan's viral load would have been heavy and since the virus can survive outside the human body this homeless man represents a critical vector for further disease transmission.
+1 Because this can't be said enough: Fuck you, Frieden!
They never ask for people's help when they are printing all that money.
We can all help them, like they helped us. I wouldn't be surprised if people exposed to Ebola felt compelled to give a big hug to every statist politician possible during this election cycle.
"if i vote for him, he gonna take care of me....i dont have to worry 'bout puttin' gas in my car, payin' my mortgage....if i help him, he'll help me"
obama voter, Peggy Joseph
Yep, and there are millions of moron voters like Peggy. She'd vote for Obozo again if possible. You can not fix stupid!
just wait until nov 4. they'll have busloads of these manipulated nitwits voting in one state, getting on the bus and voting in two more states.
last year, NH had 100,000 same day registrations voting. i'm sure jean shaheen will win by 80,000 or so.
Republicans' fault for not challenging results then.
more potencial cases - you are fckd
If Fukushima Rad's don't get you...
If Illegals don't get you...
If Ebola worms don't get you...
We'll get you. Signed .Gov
live feed is not working, went to a live shot of the capital in DC then "we will be right back"
See post from NoDebt.....then you'll understand why it went dark....
thats fucked up
fucked up... check out the local ABC, CBS, and FOX affiliates' websites.
GIGO
As someone famous probably once said: 'You can measure a man's patriotism by the dampness of his gusset'.
Well the only common medical terms that need to be added into the mix are: law suits and reckless endangerment
"law suits and reckless endangerment"
For a guy that likes using his phone and pen so much, Obola should be the first one sued for reckless endangerment. Unless of course if it's a hoax.
If he just stayed on the bus he wouldn't have contracted ebola. Guarenteed.

Nuke Texas from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
Unfortuneately Dallas medical personnel were given inadequate mandates by CDC when Duncan was first identified as an Ebola patients. There was no mandate for plastic head coverings and hazmat suites. CDC revised their protocols AFTER Dallas medical personnel were exposed.
Dallas is doing a good job of controlling damages caused by the CDC's incompetences.
CDC only had 30 years to prepare. Amazing.
Major Garrett open mic....."We're screwed"
http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2014/10/were-screwed-major-garrett-open-mic-briefing-u-s-response-to-ebola-outbreak-oct-3-2014-3041432.html
I wonder what these reporters are saying, Hmmm, to be a fly on the wall....
Who pays for the second generation cases....does the inital patient have to pay for it...Duncan had no insurance....just looking at the costs of this is amazing.....and the lawsuits have not started yet....I see the Unions are starting to get involved...wont be long for the lawyers to jump in....but only after its safe for them...
What do you do with a lawyer who's buried up to his neck in sand?
A: Get more sand.
Under communism all cost are shared amongst the collective..........
You're brand-spanking new Obamacare tax should cover it.
Do you charge the hospital if you get a bug while getting your checkup?
Same applies here. Nothing different. They are businesses and you and I are sheep.
It's definitely not airborne. It's all the nurses fault that they caught it. if they weren't racists this wouldn't have happened. we're going to sue the hospital and the care givers for all they've got so we can be seen as the internationally loving nation we are.
Even if it is airborn, it is still racially motivated airborn....
This problem won't be fixed until Obama draws a line with his purple crayon.
Is that a euphemism for his dick?
But, but...our government and healthcare officials said everything is under control and there is virtually zero chance of this becoming a problem.

Be Afraid. Ebola is spreading faster than government can lie about it, and that's saying something.
Hope this his last speech from outside of jail.
On Tuesday this dumbass gave a statement and while he was speaking you could see the Dow/SP dropping.
Wed. morning another statement- Dow off 350-a massive "no confidence" vote.
Everytime I see one of these lying fucks I think of "The Stand".

Just a precaution.
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that Bentley is going to be "just fine".
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???
Today is Day 21 since Duncan got symptoms on 24 Sept. Should be 'full re-tard' soon, or not. I'm going with 'soon'.
"well maybe it will be 29 1/2 days for incubation"...
I read the other day that in 5% of infected the incubation period can be up to 45 days. We are so screwed.

Could the Ebola Pandemic Be A Staged Crisis? http://newamerica-now.blogspot.com/2014/10/could-ebola-pandemic-be-stage...
You and your nasty assed site that gives people viruses when they download your shit better shut the fuck up!
You used to lure people in with promises of telling them what to do to protect themselves from Ebola and similar disasters. Now you change your tune and go with Staged Crisis?
Fuck you, fuck you all to hell and back, fuck you. Die.
You know how ZHers used to randomly post those "Fuck you Bernanke" posts?
Fuck you, Tom Frieden!
What is it about Dallas? It took out JFK and now this.....
As much as I detest Obumbler and the lying CDC sack of shit Dr. Frieden, smack-talking Texas and it's Bible-thumping closet-turd burglar Gov. Goodhair Rick Perry are now the poster children for American arrogance and bumbling incompetence.
Let me guess:
* There was a breach of protocol
* The software was to blame
* I thought the neck tape was anti-viral
* I was only following orders
* The nurses have difficulty speaking English
* Mr Duncan refused to lie still, even after being tasered
* The manufacturer still hasn't delivered those level 4 suits we ordered.
* My supervisor handled that one
* Lessons will be learned
* I am away for the next 42 days
Remember that "only following orders," is not an acceptable defense when one is brought before a military tribunal for crimes against humanity.
