Second Texas Healthcare Worker Tests Positive For Ebola
And then there were three.
As the Texas Department of State Health reported an hour ago, just three days after the shocking announcement that the late Thomas Eric Duncan had managed to infect one nurse in the first person-to-person transmission of Ebola on US ground, a second Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital worker has been infected with the deadly virus.
From the official statement:
Second Health Care Worker Tests Positive for Ebola
News Release
Oct. 15, 2014
A second health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital who provided care for the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States has tested positive for the disease.
The health care worker reported a fever Tuesday and was immediately isolated at the hospital.
Health officials have interviewed the latest patient to quickly identify any contacts or potential exposures, and those people will be monitored. The type of monitoring depends on the nature of their interactions and the potential they were exposed to the virus.
The worker was among those who took care of Thomas Eric Duncan after he was diagnosed with Ebola.
The preliminary Ebola test was run late Tuesday at the state public health laboratory in Austin, and results were received at about midnight.
Confirmatory testing on a separate specimen will be conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
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.
Surely the CDC's Tom Frieden will say this is perfectly expected: after all the CDC, which promised it would "stop Ebola in its tracks in the US" just two weeks ago, changed its tune and said to expect more cases.
As of this moment, equity futures are not happy, and certainly not transports, which after a seesaw session in which airline stocks rebounded following a deep oversold condition, are about to become even more oversold as the US public responds to increasingly unpleasant Ebola pandemic news by deciding to "just stay home this weekend."
And now we await the CDC to explain how this is all due to another breach in protocol for a disease which still is clearly not airborne.

the state has/had a thriving economy. more than i can say for other states.
Knew there was something gravely wrong when they started diverting emergency response from their ER (one of the busiest in Dallas). Turns out they are now monitoring approx. 70 workers. Few are talking, not wanting to jeopardize jobs (or healthcare if they actually come down with it). What a clusterfuck.
Listen Zero's.
Insider tip.
When I do: "OH!", it's my "DICE CLAY" "MODE".
Just something for you to ponder.
As Dice would say....if you don't speak the language....get the FUK out of the country.
If you have to explain yourself.....you've already lost the war.
Public Service Announcement:
Please ignore the sound of bombs dropping in Iraq and continue to freak out about Ebola. Thank you.
I'm just wondering at what point bad Ebola news starts algo driven market ramp ups. You know, like "17 more cases of Ebola confirmed in Dallas TX and 5 new confirmed cases in 3 other U.S. cities....meanwhile DOW futures are surging 300 points to the upside,,,"
When the levy breaks they aint no place to go. Go down go down.
Crying won't help you
Praying won't do you no good
If this is not stopped, and stopped soon, it has the potential of overwhelming the U.S. healthcare system and destroying the U.S. economy.
What economy there is only CTRL-P
Assuming that ebola is not the most massive psy-op ever released (remember, many of us didn't immediately spot 9-11 for what it was), then it's already too late. The virus had to be stopped in Africa, and instead it was exported intentionally to other continents. No way it'll be stopped now. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
If it is the most massive psy-op ever, however, I believe it will also be the last by the current global elite power structure. The end is near for them, thus the desperation. But I often underestimate the power of human stupidity...
Still waiting to see which of the above scenarios makes most sense to me.
These Ebola need and should not be treated in the hospitals as common sense would tell you that. Unfortunately, that is exactly what is lacking and it comes right from the top in this country.
Officials from National Nurses United declined to specify how many nurses they had spoken with at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. They said they would not identify the nurses or elaborate on how the nurses learned of the details in their allegations in order to protect them from possible retaliation. The nurses at the hospital are not members of a union, officials said.
Here's a look at some of the allegations the nurses made, according to the union:
Thomas Eric Duncan wasn't immediately isolated.
On the day that Thomas Eric Duncan was admitted to the hospital with possible Ebola symptoms, he was "left for several hours, not in isolation, in an area where other patients were present," union co-president Deborah Burger said.
Up to seven other patients were present in that area, the nurses said, according to the union.
A nursing supervisor faced resistance from hospital authorities when the supervisor demanded that Duncan be moved to an isolation unit, the nurses said, according to the union.
At first, protective gear nurses were wearing while treating Duncan left their necks exposed.
After expressing concerns that their necks were exposed even as they wore protective gear, the nurses were told to wrap their necks with medical tape, the union says.
"They were told to use medical tape and had to use four to five pieces of medical tape wound around their neck. The nurses have expressed a lot of concern about how difficult it is to remove the tape from their neck," Burger said.
At one point during Duncan's care, hazardous waste piled up.
"There was no one to pick up hazardous waste as it piled to the ceiling," Burger said. "They did not have access to proper supplies."
Nurses got no "hands-on" training about using protective gear.
"There was no mandate for nurses to attend training," Burger said, though they did receive an e-mail about a hospital seminar on Ebola.
"This was treated like hundreds of other seminars that were routinely offered to staff," she said.
The nurses "feel unsupported, unprepared, lied to and deserted."
So why did the group of nurses -- the union wouldn't say how many -- contact the nursing union, which they don't belong to?
According to DeMoro, the nurses were upset after authorities appeared to blame nurse Nina Pham, who has contracted Ebola, for not following protocols.
"This nurse was being blamed for not following protocols that did not exist. ... The nurses in that hospital were very angry, and they decided to contact us," DeMoro said.
And they're worried conditions at the hospital "may lead to infection of other nurses and patients," Burger said.
A hospital spokesman did not respond to the specific allegations, but said patient and employee safety is the hospital's top priority.
"We take compliance very seriously. We have numerous measures in place to provide a safe working environment, including mandatory annual training and a 24-7 hotline and other mechanisms that allow for anonymous reporting," hospital spokesman Wendell Watson said. "Our nursing staff is committed to providing quality, compassionate care, as we have always known, and as the world has seen firsthand in recent days. We will continue to review and respond to any concerns raised by our nurses and all employees."
The Dallas mayor declined to comment on the accusations against the hospital.
"I don't comment on anonymous allegations," Mike Rawlings said

Ebola Outbreak Boosts Odds of Mutation Helping It Spread
The Ebola virus circulating in West Africa is already different from previous strains.
While scientists don’t fully understand what the changes mean, some are concerned that alterations in the virus that occur as that pathogen continues to evolve could pose new dangers.
Researchers have identified more than 300 new viral mutations in the latest strain of Ebola, according to research published in the journal Science last month. They are rushing to investigate if this strain of the disease produces higher virus levels -- which could increase its infectiousness.
So far, there is no scientific data to indicate that. The risk, though, is that the longer the epidemic continues, the greater the chance that the virus could change in a way that makes it more transmissible between humans, making it harder to stop, said Charles Chiu, an infectious disease physician who studies Ebola at the University of California at San Francisco.
“If the outbreak continues for a prolonged period of time or it becomes endemic, it may mutate into a form that is more virulent,” said Chiu. “It is really hard to predict.”
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-15/ebola-outbreak-boosts-odds-of-m...
Three hundred mutations doesn't sound like a lot, consider that the ebola genetic code only contains around 6000 codons, so nearly 5% of them are likely to be different than previous strains. Ebola only encodes seven proteins, thus each protein has probably survived multiple successful mutations already.

Obama leaves the borders open.
Thanks!
It was pretty obvious that US hospitals were incompetent before ebola was here, mrsa, TB and the sheer number of deaths attributable to poor sterile procedures back that up.
Massive panic will result unless someone competent is put in charge and puts an end to the madness of allowing ebola into the country.
Very understandable when you think about their first question now: "Do you feel safe at home?"
a doctor once told me to stay out of hospitals, they can kill you.
take that advice and practice accordingly
OBOLA-NOMICS!
You 1% fuckers try to die outside.
When I emerge from my bunker, I do not want to clean your dried up guts from my nice new mansion.
If the CDC only had a community outreach program this would not have happened
Oh, they have an outreach program, alright.
It's out reaching for you right now, fella...in oh so many ways.
Gotta love how the financial press announces new ebola case.....
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/hazmat-suit-makers-resume-rally-new-ebo...
Contained. Yup, we can guarantee that this sucker is not leaving the planet!
Stay away from the hospitals.
Will they claim again that "this was anticipated" as well? Will they continue to use that lame line when the 1000th U.S. citizen test postive for Ebola?
Just yesterday
I asked Obama
What should I be
Should I go on EBT cards
Should I run for president
Here's what he said to me
E Bola, Bola

WHO extends ebola incubation period to 42 Days.
http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/ebola/14-october-2014/en/
"Incubation period
The period of 42 days, with active case-finding in place, is twice the maximum incubation period for Ebola virus disease and is considered by WHO as sufficient to generate confidence in a declaration that an Ebola outbreak has ended.
Recent studies conducted in West Africa have demonstrated that 95% of confirmed cases have an incubation period in the range of 1 to 21 days; 98% have an incubation period that falls within the 1 to 42 day interval. WHO is therefore confident that detection of no new cases, with active surveillance in place, throughout this 42-day period means that an Ebola outbreak is indeed over."
If they extended the incubation period to 42 days then they are idiots and just guessing about what this is.
Its nature and isnt playing by the WHO/CDC playbook. Of course there are 2% of the cases that fall outside the 1-42 day incubation period.... Which means they have no fucking idea....
Just think they could extend it for years, and detain you for as long as they want to..... OH wait they can already do that.
That is some tricky wording there. Double-plus incubation good ebola.
It is behond stupid to put ebola patients in a hospital. They need a special ward or building. Risking our health care system in this way seems extremely unwise. Of course if it starts to spread here at exponential rates it won't matter what efforts are devised or made. Have cash on hand and a shopping list for your self quarantine.
there is nothing stupid about this. think about that.
there are no coincidences.
http://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/?m=1
Absolutely right, we cannot lose the brick & mortar health infrastructure sites by exposing them. Every hospital needs an admitting tent out front, not pregnant, in a car accident or have obvious physical injuries your in the other line.....
I'm actually starting to think that TPTB actually and literary want kill off the middle class.
They already shipped the jobs overseas, They probably already got their shots. What happens to all the peoples retirement money and pensions funds that die, who gets to keep the money? The banks?, government?
----END TINFOIL HAT MOMENT------
Why are people still allowing this a$$ hole from the CDC to spread his lies without consequence?
Call your congress person and tell him/her that you demand Friedan's resignation or prosecution. I understand that politicians are of very little use mostly; However it cannot be denied that they do act when faced with a screaming public en masse (see attempted Syria attack halted last year)
Further Freidan as per his statement is concerned chiefly with the loss of economic loss of the panic, not the loss of life of US Citizens. With that said
Boycott the airlines and the economy in general, bankrupt the pricks it is all that they will listen to.
oneeyed you took my gig, and yes I asked the ZH community to call weeks ago about this idiot and not stopping travel from a hot zone...you are right to ask us all and I will make a visit to the office of my congressman knowing it is very near too late.
"Call your congress person and tell him/her that you demand Friedan's resignation or prosecution"
‘I will make a visit to the office of my congressman’
We need someone on location in Texas to mail you some foodie wrappers (basic proof you’ve been to Texas).
When you arrive at your Congressman’s office, toss the wrapper onto the desk and just say, “I’m infected. Now you are too.” Then just leave.
pOOk "toss the wrapper onto the desk and just say, “I’m infected. Now you are too.” Then just leave. "
now thats a great idea, might get you a beat down by security, but that's not bad.
You will face terrorism charges, mark my words.
Did not mean to co-opt your gig but I do not know what else one could do. I have worn out my welcome with my representative with calls and letters. His staff assures me that they are on top of the situation. I say bollox for if this was the case Freidan would be in irons.
Reminds me of the basement scene in Fight Club at Lou's Bar.
Tyler lets him beat him down, then flips him over and bleeds on him like crazy.
"You don't know where I've been, Lou! You don't know where I've been!"
Are there any Texas in the Dallas branch of Fight Club willing to speak for Tyler? The message is very convincing.

Ingestion
Ingestion of as little as 30 mL (1 oz.) of a solution containing 37% formaldehyde has been reported to cause death in an adult. Ingestion may cause corrosive injury to the gastrointestinal mucosa, with nausea, vomiting, pain, bleeding, and perforation. Corrosive injuries are usually most pronounced in the pharyngeal mucosa, epiglottis and esophagus. Systemic effects include metabolic acidosis, CNS depression and coma, respiratory distress, and renal failure

You don't have to do sh1t. flying through Dallas is your decision. You'll be bleeding out of your ass by Thanksgiving.
In all my years on this earth I have never seen a group of people mess more stuff up than these jackwagons. They take a wrecking ball to reason and believe that they have transcended reason. This is what they think and they're in charge. So be it. Wonk, wonk, wonk. I have long given up on the theory that they are that stupid. Remove your preconceived frame of reference and apply the most logical context and you can see: I firmly believe that these devils are bent on not only destabilizing Africa/North Africa, the Middle East and Ukraine/Russia, but also all of humanity. Pure evil.

Exposing The Ebola Hoax
The Elite's Plan For World Genocide By Vaccine
http://ebolahoax.com/
Problem with the conspiracy.
The claim is that elites profit through vaccinations. No vaccination for ebola by big pharma. The simplist and effective way to treat ebola is plasma transfusion from survivors. That is the conspiracy that should be followed. Why isn't this decades old treatment given more attention?
My personal opinion is that the CDC is totally incompetent because it is political as most centralized agencies are.
Plasma Infusions, indeed.
Ask those who received plasma infusions from 1980-2000.
Can't find one to ask? There's a reason for this. You should look into it.
Texas: It's like a whole other country.
Why aren't local States shutting down these International Airports?
I can’t wait until dying Ebolians start exacting revenge.
I'll give you a hint. $$$$$$
Airports are usually one of the biggest cash cows a city has.
Mad Cow in this case, but it be da money boy-o.
I will be getting an ebola vaccine as soon as it's out,even if not properly tested
I will refuse an improperly tested vaccine
So far lemmings rule 4:1
You had no option for those that simply refuse all vaccines.

Infections are supposed to double every 21 days, not every 5.
Not to be unexpected, undoubtedly West African natives have some immunity, immunity that we don't have here.

This is WW3 but the question is what is the enemy, a virus or your government?
Also Friedan's BS talking points about containing the disease by allowing free travel, Orwellian double speak.
Freidan posits that preventing travel will spread the disease by limiting the ability of aid workers to enter and leave the country and prevent materials from entering the area as well. Ok presuming that is the truth;
- build a secure facility at the airport with a isolation ward for NGO and other aid workers to quarantine in until the 21 day incubation period is over , cease commercial flights, establish a clean area to store and move supplies into a transition area that is between the clean and contaminated sides those on one side or the other do not breach clean/ dirty protocols, finally control the border. Pretty easy solution and Freidan is an Ivy League ass and can't figure this out?
I refuse to call this ass Friedan a doctor.
Now WHO says 42 days... (not including the 2% that were outside the 1-42 day period of incubation).
That's the biggest news of the day.
"Recent studies conducted in West Africa have demonstrated that 95% of confirmed cases have an incubation period in the range of 1 to 21 days; 98% have an incubation period that falls within the 1 to 42 day interval." - WHO
http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/ebola/14-october-2014/en/
So 5% of cases have an incubation period longer than 21 days, and 2% have an incubation period longer than 42 days???
Yikes. But remain calm.
It's true, the 21d is 95% confidence, then half of the >2-sigma is 42 days.
1% have >42 days. Another 1% have less than 1 day. If this follows a normal curve...
Is there such a thing as an asymptomatic carrier that never gets it, but sheds it?
That would be fun.
Also the director of the WHO stated that the traditional means of containing the disease were not working, possibly now airborne transmission of the disease. Also the WHO director had similarly indicated that controlling the border would cause a further spread of the disease and she worried about the negative economic impact that an isolation of the area would have on the global economy.
Ok 60, 90, 120 days whatever it requires
Friedan is just an actor in a much larger play, methinks. He's resignation wouldn't do shit. A new-and-improved actor will just take his place with a better story and a pretty face...
This situation is a complete farce.
I will certainly agree that he is a bad actor with a far left political agenda. While he would likely be replaced with another similarly focused jack ass, it would be hard for the regime to maintain their meme that all is well.
More over if Friedan were criminally prosecuted for either criminal negligence or criminal malfeasance it would be a speed bump at the least to those set upon destroying this country.
That singularly has to be the worst line of advice ever issued.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark...
Playing devils advocate, this EBOLA shit is just too perfectly timed. If I was TPTB, this is exactly how I would implement a controlled demolition on the US economy and collapse of currency. Screw the healthcare system as many of you noted it will collapse. That's just perfect to implement a "revised" - "new-and-improved" - National Obama Kare in the next two years. Crap, too many innocent co-incidents came together in October.
Wouldn't you agree?
If you can keep folks from the polls in November as they don't want to be standing in line with an Ebola infested illegal immigrant with voting rights, this all seems pretty obvious to me. Just send in a small army of African descent voters dressed in traditional garb. That'll clear the deck for a Democrat Party landslide. Mission accomplished.
Although historically speaking lower voter turnout favors republicans
Most people vote by mail, now. I'd be wary of whatever comes in that envelope. Wouldn't it be too clever by half to infect only the R envelopes?
I do agree, or at least I understand what you are saying. It is to run cover for the impending collapse that they can no longer fend off or control with FED printing.
I think that this perspective of yours does establish a scenario in which TPTB could establish martial law, have cover for their economic treason and gain even more control of the public WITH their consent.
"Sorry folks we did not want to do this but the public begged us to do it"
I wouldn't be surprised in this scenario if TPTB blamed the introduction of Ebola into the US on the Russians as well.
Exactomundo! It's like reading a well written mystery script. Everything slowly falls into place...
Like I've said for weeks.
That fat drunk Bob Beckle said this on FOX news. There will be an October surprise, which strangely left me not surprised at all.

It's time to quarantine ALL staff that had contact with Duncan. Clearly something has gone terribly wrong.
"DALLAS (AP) -- Officials in Dallas say the second health care worker who has tested positive for Ebola was in isolation within 90 minutes of taking her temperature."
This farce is just getting started. By December, we will be afraid to send our kids to school.
so you are saying you feel safe for them in school right now, though.
Just clarifying.
Anyone ever consider the source of Ebola may not be the general population or being airborne.
With all the healthcare workers dying and so far none of the others he has been exposed to, are hospitals or something associated responsible?
And why is it that ONLY hospital workers are getting it and not the people Duncan lived with or had contact with?
.
Because they are dead already.
They aren't living it up in the burbs.

Time for Frieden to lead from the front - Obama should order Frieden to go to Dallas, put on his protective gear, roll up his sleeves, and take direct care of these two patients!
You could tell from all the canned responses the CDC was lying their asses off. Also I know peeps in dallas that said what happened was nothing like what was presented on network television. Once this gets in the sewer system, rats, bats, etc this is going to be a mess. Congrats go to CDC and POTUS for instigating the first and only ebola outbreak on american soil in humans. By the way they knew this shit from chimps that were brought over in the 60's for medical research, same thing happened, possible transmission by air. That is why medical research chimps were bred here for years instead of imported. If one of these people dies, our potus and CDC just killed a labrat or two, problem is we're the lab rats.
It's my understanding that President Goebbels has gotten serious about this ebola crisis; from now on, there will be no "fist bumps" or smiling while playing golf and solving the worlds problems. Senior advisor Amad Rashad must refrain from laughing. However, asshat G. Paltrow can continue to live in her "fairy tale" world and gush over Chalky while the world rots.

they probably already have just no one reporting it, or allowed to. While I fear an outbreak in NA, if I was in India or China, I would be bugging out now.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal told the Marietta Daily Journal that the state's public health commission told him that "water kills the Ebola virus" and that her advice was to "wash your hands."

At least the airlines already have 'barf bags' in every seat which can be used for air-sickness or Ebola. The problem is telling them apart!
Why aren't millions infected, only 20,000 or so?
Why are healthcare people dying?
Why didn't those who lived with Duncan before he was finally admitted to hospital getting it?
Maybe healthcare or a vaccination of some kind or something like that is the real problem?
You're not suppose to ask reasonable questions. You're suposed to panic and join the mass hysteria.
Perhaps it is because the number of virus organisms increases exponentially over time until the death of the patient occurs. Hence all the extreme care being given to the disposal of the remains.
Supposed bodies laying in the African streets does not appear to be "extreme care" to me.
That is one of the reasons it is not contained in west Africa.
Well, jackass. When your neighbor finshing siezing and spraying black vomit and shit out on his driveway this Dec, please, by all means, go and care for his remains.
Not a bright fella, are ya.
Ebola goes endemic in animal populations, rather like rabies. Dogs can be carriers without being visibly ill but can spread the virus to humans. So it is here now, like the hunta virus. It will naturally mutate to the environment and hosts. This is probably the best argument for travel restrictions, which now, sadly has become a mute point.
Meanwhile, Fukushima is spewing Strontium 90 into the Pacific at 25 million times the EPA's limits. Strontium 90 causes bone cancers and lukemias. We are also told to move along here, there is nothing to see..........

Alcohol based saniters don't work on Ebola.
Hope you haven't already stocked it.
Clorox cleaning whipes may be more of the ticket.
Or, if you are a fan of CDC information and protocol simply wash your hands with soap and water just before you die. Nobody likes a corpse that show up for dinner without washing.
Can we all agree this is the Black Swan?

October 1, 2014 (Wed) Day 274 91 Week 40I'd say it's pretty much dead on schedule.
December 23rd ... 2^17 -> 132,000
February 24, 2015 .... 2 ^20 -> There's your million cases.
How would you define a hooker, Public place? Bar? Eatery?
This whole thing reeks of 911 all over again. Everyone is sure it's a damn virus but the story is starting to unfold like a terist plot. I smell NWO all over this thing.
Is this the black swan event we were looking for???
I blame Bush or the Koch Brothers or Fox News or the Tea Party.
Thanks, Ebola administration.
Are Haz-Mat suits bullet proof?
Negative.
Make ready and fire at will.
I really feel sorry for the people with Obsessive Compusive Disorder. They might never stop washing their hands now.
"Viral hemorrhagic fevers have an infectious dose of 1 - 10 organisms by aerosol in non-human primates"
"In laboratory settings, non-human primates exposed to aerosolized ebolavirus from pigs have become infected, however, airborne transmission has not been demonstrated between non-human primates" (yet, there is a growing chorus in the medical profession debating this point)
"Communicable as long as blood, body fluids or organs, contain the virus. Ebolavirus has been isolated from semen 61 to 82 days after the onset of illness, and transmission through semen has occurred 7 weeks after clinical recovery"
"laboratory surveillance of Ebola is extremely hazardous"
"LABORATORY PRIMARY HAZARDS: Accidental parenteral inoculation, respiratory exposure to infectious aerosols/droplets, and/or direct contact with skin or mucous membrane" (N.B. - "respiratory exposure to infectious aerosols/droplets")
CONTAINMENT REQUIREMENTS: Containment Level 4 facilities, equipment, and operational practices for work involving infectious or potentially infectious materials,All activities with infectious material should be conducted in a biological safety cabinet (BSC) in combination with a positive pressure suit, or within a class III BSC line. Centrifugation of infected materials must be carried out in closed containers placed in sealed safety cups, or in rotors that are unloaded in a biological safety cabinet. The integrity of positive pressure suits must be routinely checked for leaks.
Decontaminate all materials for disposal from the containment laboratory by steam sterilisation, chemical disinfection, incineration or by gaseous methods. Contaminated materials include both liquid and solid wastes.
STORAGE: In sealed, leak-proof containers that are appropriately labelled and locked in a Containment Level 4 laboratory."

Let's see here...70% mortality rate...times 7 billion...hmmm...brings us back down to about 2 billion. Sorry but this could be the perfect way for the .01%er's to hit the reset button and start over. The earth is stressed out and can't handle the high population number any longer and they know it. And plus, we are getting too smart over the past 20 years with the internet and all. Too much access to too much information. They can't have that.
Still..they should be strung up by the balls.
