NYC Mayor De Blasio Ebola Update "Under Control - No Cause For Alarm" - Live Webcast

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Having worked extremely hard on their coordinated talking points last night - "Ebola is hard to catch", "Doctor self-isolated", "been preparing for months" - we await NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio's public update on the state of Ebola in New York this morning... Keep Calm and Go Ebowla-ing?

  • *NYC MAYOR DE BLASIO SAYS 'THERE'S NO CAUSE FOR ALARM'
  • *DE BLASIO SAYS SITUATION IS 'UNDER CONTROL' DUE TO PREPARATION
  • *DE BLASIO SAYS EMS DRILLED 'QUITE A WHILE' ON EBOLA PROTOCOL
  • *DE BLASIO SAYS NYC IS 'FULLY PREPARED' TO HANDLE EBOLA

As NBC reports, experts stress that since the 33-year-old physician was not symptomatic at the time, it's unlikely he transmitted the virus — which can only be passed through bodily fluids while a person is sick.

 

De Blasio is due to speak at 1130ET...

Having calmed the public, sadly, the sign-language guy stole the show!

TPTB don't care about the midterms, they already know the result. They are figuring out how to exploit the exponential fear that is coming from the masses when they see this leapfrog from city to city.The smell of fear is real this time because fear, just like the virus, spreads exponentially. The first case in Texas was the slap in face that something is really out of control. Now it's NYC so the media can be manipulated to make this a truly national story. The next outbreak will probably be somewhere like Chicago or LA. The SHTF when there are 2 or more cases within a single city, and you know it is going to happen eventually. That's when the police state gets ramped up in the name of "protecting" the citizens. It's all about control, and we are about to see control go exponential.

From the article "Earlier it was reported that 45 special hospitals were allocated in 36 provinces of Turkey in case of detection of people sick with Ebola. Special hospitals are allocated mainly in the provinces with international airports. In particular, three hospitals were allocated in Ankara, and two special hospitals in Istanbul."

Gee only 45 hospitals to treat ebola  for a country with 75 million....Wait, don't we have only four for a country of 365 million???? WTF

What about Nina Pham's boyfriend?  He was apparently quarantined and nothing ever heard from him again.

A doctor has exclusively revealed to Infowars that health authorities are covering up Ebola cases in the United States and disappearing patients in an effort to avoid hysteria.

James Lawrenzi, DO, who has two clinics in Garden City and Archie, Missouri, appeared on the Alex Jones Show today to warn that the true scale of the situation was being deliberately downplayed. It is important to note that none of these potential Ebola outbreaks occurred at the clinics in which Lawrenzi works.

Lawrenzi said that shortly after the arrival of patient zero – Thomas Eric Duncan – in the United States, he was told by a doctor at Truman Lakewood Medical Center in Kansas City they had taken in a possible Ebola patient who had a high fever and was bleeding out of all his orifices having recently returned from West Africa.

The following day, Lawrenzi was told by the doctor that the patient had “disappeared” against medical advice, but that he wouldn’t have been able to leave on his own given his medical condition.

The day after the patient disappeared, a meeting was called for anyone who had contact with the patient. Doctors and other medical workers were told that the patient had malaria. Lawrenzi also revealed that drug reps from within the area warned over additional possible Ebola cases in the area.

A second possible Ebola patient was then admitted to Research Medical Center in Kansas City the following day but also quickly “disappeared,” with hospital bosses claiming he had typhoid, according to Lawrenzi.

These patients are disappearing, they’re doing something with the patients and God knows where they’re going,” said the doctor.

Nina Pham Now Free of Ebola

Strange wording. Not cured. Not recovered. Somewhere in between.

Either this is psyops to connect 'cure' and 'vaccine' into the syntax of 'recovery, or admission that this is some form of Stuxbola.

Either way, BioWar III is now upon us. Beware the vaccines of synthetic biology.

12:23pm, no De Blasio. but a great collection of New York City propaganda. Announcments about economic justice, soothing announcements from all the various commissars, mentions of NGOs who work hand in hand with the De Blasio machine.

I hope this ebola thing doesn't in any way distract Mayor de Blasio from supporting Israel.  I worry most of all about that.

Apparently if you are in the US and thought to be exposed to Ebola, you get placed on the no-fly list:

However, if you have been exposed to Ebola outside the US, feel free to fly into the US!!!!

I knew NY wasn't safe when Bloomberg was elected. When De Blasio was elected, I knew it was the beginning of the end for NYC. Ebola? Meh. Quarantine De Blasio and let us feel relief from panic attacks.

Funny how it's either "under control" and "no cause for alarm", or the next stage is "everyone stay in your homes, you are under medical marshal law."  There's no grey area there, like "be alert, but these are the things you can do to help prevent spread..." etc?

6th October 2014:

"Our top priority is the safety of Americans," CDC Director Tom Frieden said.

"I remain quite confident we will not have a widespread outbreak. We will stop it in its tracks because we've got infection control in hospitals and public health that tracks and isolates people if they get symptoms. In Africa, the story is different."

Yes, in Africa they CLOSED THEIR FUCKING BORDERS.

Look at the bright side.

That leaky bio weapons research lab was in Africa and not in Maryland.

DC would be a ghost town and our entire lives would come to a screeching halt.

Let me get this straight: 

"We're going to end this crisis by sending thousands of troops and healthcare workers to infected regions and allow them to fly back into densely populated U.S. cities without being quarantined."

WTF?

Excuse me, "Mista Mayah", but what in Hell you know about the Ebola virus?????

With the regular, annual "flu season" (the "common cold") about to arrive, people will soon be suffering many of the same symptoms as those with Ebola (e.g., fever, chills, sweats, malaise, joint aches, etc.), so the PANIC has not yet even begun !!!!!

However, as with H1N1, the Swine Flu, AID-HIV and many other viruses that the media predicted would DOOM humanity, it is far more likely that this winter - as in every past winter fo many decades - the "regular flu" (the "common cold") will KILL far more people than Ebola.

The PROBLEM is that the "regular flu" (common gold) simply does NOT make for good headlines on TV and news web sites.
