The market's reaction...

 

Some background color:

*  *  *

Just when you thought it was safe to assume that Ebola-in-America was fixed (one day into Ron Klain's tenure as Ebola Czar), NYPost reports some rather disquieting news. A New York City doctor - who returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea 10 days ago - has been rushed under police escort to Bellevue Hospital... He is being tested for Ebola. Market liquidity has dried up instantly!

  • *PATIENT BEING TESTED AT BELLEVUE FOR POSSIBLE EBOLA, NYC SAYS
  • *NYC HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO ISSUE STATEMENT SOON, SPOKESMAN SAYS
  • *NYC: PATIENT WITH FEVER, GASTROINTESTINAL SYMPTOMS AT BELLEVUE
  • *NYC SAYS PATIENT EBOLA TEST RESULTS EXPECTED WITHIN 12 HOURS
  • *NYC TRACING ALL OF PATIENT'S CONTACTS
  • *NYC HEALTH DEPARTMENT ALSO WORKING CLOSELY WITH HHC

Update #2:

  • POSSIBLE NYC EBOLA PATIENT DID NOT SELF-QUARANTINE: CNN
  • POSSIBLE NYC EBOLA PATIENT TOOK UBER TO BOWLING ALLEY YDAY: CNN

 

As The Daily Mail reports,

Dr Craig Spencer, 33, who returned to the U.S. ten days ago from Guinea, was admitted to Bellevue Hospital in midtown Manhattan on Thursday and is being cared for in isolation.

 

The doctor flew to Africa on September 18 to treat patients in Guinea with non-profit organization, Medecins San Frontieres (MSF). 

 

The medic works at Columbia University Medical Center and originally comes from Detroit, Michigan.

 

Investigators were taking the case seriously because it is not believed that the doctor self-quarantined on his return from Guinea, CNN reported.

 

On September 18, Dr Spencer tweeted a picture of himself wearing a full yellow hazmat suit and face mask with the message: 'Off to Guinea with Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Please support organizations that are sending support or personnel to West Africa, and help combat one of the worst public health and humanitarian disasters in recent history.'

 

 

On October 16, he checked in at a hotel in Brussels, Belgium, presumably on his return journey from Guinea to the U.S.

Full Statement on Patient at Bellevue Hospital

Today, EMS HAZ TAC Units transferred to Bellevue Hospital a patient who presented a fever and gastrointestinal symptoms.

 

The patient is a health care worker who returned to the U.S. within the past 21 days from one of the three countries currently facing the outbreak of this virus.

 

The patient was transported by a specially trained HAZ TAC unit wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).  After consulting with the hospital and the CDC, DOHMH has decided to conduct a test for the Ebola virus because of this patient’s recent travel history, pattern of symptoms, and past work. DOHMH and HHC are also evaluating the patient for other causes of illness, as these symptoms can also be consistent with salmonella, malaria, or the stomach flu.

 

Preliminary test results are expected in the next 12 hours.

 

Bellevue Hospital is designated for the isolation, identification and treatment of potential Ebola patients by the City and State.  New York City is taking all necessary precautions to ensure the health and safety of all New Yorkers.

 

As a further precaution, beginning today, the Health Department’s team of disease detectives immediately began to actively trace all of the patient’s contacts to identify anyone who may be at potential risk. The Health Department staff has established protocols to identify, notify, and, if necessary, quarantine any contacts of Ebola cases.

 

The Health Department is also working closely with HHC leadership, Bellevue’s clinical team and the New York State Department of Health to ensure that all staff caring for the patient do so while following the utmost safety guidelines and protocols.

 

Bellevue and the New York State Department of Health to ensure that all staff caring for the patient do so while following the utmost safety guidelines and protocols.

 

The chances of the average New Yorker contracting Ebola are extremely slim. Ebola is spread by directly touching the bodily fluids of an infected person. You cannot be infected simply by being near someone who has Ebola.

*  *  *

 

As NY Post reports,

A doctor who returned to New York City from Africa 10 days ago was rushed in an ambulance with a police escort from his Harlem home to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday, sources said.

 

He was suffering from Ebola-like symptoms — a 103-degree fever and nausea, sources said.

 

While he was in Africa, the doctor had been treating Ebola patients in Guinea, sources said.

 

He’s undergoing testing at Bellevue to see if he has the deadly virus, sources said.

*  *  *

NBC reports that...

He was transported from a building on 147th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue to Bellevue, law enforcement source said.

If he took Uber (Who's Uber?) bowling, he, probably, left sweat on a bowling ball, urine on a urinal, shook hands with old friends he hasn't seen in a while, had sex, went to several restaurants, thoughtlessly touched a million walls with his sweaty hands, etc, etc etc. Good luck NYC.

I read the article, and I had considered that, but I consider being there for less than a month a big waste of time, so it makes me think he was already there. Similar pictures were posted by an Australian nurse before she came back to Australia (and ended up in Hospital).

Plus, given the total lack of training that has been provided to health care personnel, I can't see people setting up an accurate reproduction of a treatment centre just so people can get into and out of PPE properly.

Edit: If it was posted to Twitter, it wouldn't have a (C) Facebook stamp at the bottom of the image. This may not have been the image posted to Twitter, and as such, one posted to Facebook while he was there, although I haven't bothered to search for his Twitter account to verify. Just postulating.

Twenty one days should be enough time to breach the protective suits of the attendants of the quarantined, who can then take the virus home, shopping, to services, movies, games, etc.. before realizing that they are infected.  Keep up the good work, CDC.

Withdrawn Sanction's picture

Masks are beyond stupid.  Ebola as has been stated here and elsewhere is considered a Biosafety Level 4 pathogen.

Biosafety Level 4: This level is required for work with dangerous and exotic agents that pose a high individual risk of aerosol-transmitted laboratory infections, agents which cause severe to fatal disease in humans for which vaccines or other treatments are not available, such as Bolivian and Argentine hemorrhagic fevers, Marburg virus, Ebola virus, Lassa virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, and various other hemorrhagic diseases. This level is also used for work with agents such as smallpox that are considered dangerous enough to require the additional safety measures, regardless of vaccination availability. When dealing with biological hazards at this level the use of a positive pressure personnel suit, with a segregated air supply is mandatory. The entrance and exit of a level four biolab will contain multiple showers, a vacuum room, an ultraviolet light room, and other safety precautions designed to destroy all traces of the biohazard. Multiple airlocks are employed and are electronically secured to prevent both doors from opening at the same time

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosafety_level  [emphasis added]

So given the danger of BSL4 agents, is what we're dealing with actually ebola?  Or is it merely what we're being TOLD it is?  Sure seems to be a lot of cavalier action on the part of many people...clipboard guy, CDC, Flounder, NYPD in the pictures above, wide open borders, etc. etc.

From last night until today, are we supposed to believe that his temperature went from 98.6 to 103.4?  Seems kind of fast but if it was that fast, you'd think a doctor who was self-monitoring for ebola symptoms would have gotten himself checked out when he got to 101.5, not 103.4.  And if it was a slower rise in temperature, what the h*ll was he thinking taking the subway to Brooklyn to go bowling?  Either way, it seems like this doc is kinda braindead.

Duncan was sent home after he went from no fever to 103 while in the hospital the first time.  They were so surprised they noted their surprise in the charts.   I think the problem is you will do whatever mental gymanstics it takes to avoid the realization you probably have ebola and will likely die.

Those virii are well understood, do not have a 50-90% kill rate and are not ravaging a western portion of a continent while hopping to a couple more.i agree that people may be overreacting but this is the virus to overreact over. All you have to do is look at the HCWs who are contracting it in full gear.

Edit: My wife's friends are hitting the feeds of Facebook, they are surprisingly vocal, and they are freaking out. One girl called their suits. "Flimsy at best" verbatim.

We've got four friends working in the ER. I'll try and get the scoop. The quarantine unit is basically a jail. It used for tuberculosis. The folks there are good but not used to this thing. Please pray for those working with him. They were at my wedding and trained with my wife. As for the doctor, it sounds like he reacted quickly, but clearly they must quarantine these folks when they arrive. The fifth case as it pertains to exponential rates is the one to look for. We are at 4. The Uber driver and his gal could be 5. HCWs do an amazing job and the stories I've heard from the ER there would amaze you. Let's hope this stops here. I'll know more soon.

I was struck by the fact there's a case at Bellevue b/c imo, the photos of their staff "prepared" with their Ebola suits, led me to conclude early on, that this would be a perfect venue for the microbe to get out of control.

He took the subway from Harlem to Brooklyn.  Last time I was on a NYC subway (that would be last night), there were over 12 people within 3 feet of me.

I will say some prayers for your friends and colleagues at Bellevue, however, given the photos they released of health care workers there with clearly exposed skin waiting to receive ebola patients, I'm not sure my prayers will do very much. (And I meant that sincerely - I will pray for all my fellow NY-ers tonight.)
