Contained? NYC Department Of Health Actively Monitoring 357 Individuals For Ebola

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The good news is that New York's first Ebola patient, Dr. Spencer, is "showing improvement." The bad news is:

  • *NYC: 357 INDIVIDUALS ACTIVELY MONITORED AS OF NOV. 5

Contained indeed and "hard to catch." Perhaps that explains why Obama just asked for $6.2 billion to manage this monster.

  • *JOINT EBOLA UPDATE FROM NYC DOHMH AND HHC
  • *NYC: EBOLA PATIENT IN BELLEVUE CONDITION IS STABLE
  • *NYC: EBOLA PATIENT IN BELLEVUE CONTINUES TO SHOW IMPROVEMENT
  • *HHC CITING ONE PERSON IN QUARANTINE DUE TO CONTACT WITH SPENCER
  • *NYC: 357 INDIVIDUALS ACTIVELY MONITORED AS OF NOV. 5
  • *NYC: 1 NOW SUBJECT TO DIRECT ACTIVE MONITORING DUE TO SPENCER

Via NY DOH,

The City is announcing that, after an additional physician review, one individual under quarantine because of contact with Dr. Spencer will now be subject to direct active monitoring. The individual poses no public health threat and is showing no symptoms.  This person's daily movements in New York City will no longer be restricted, and the individual will be assessed twice each day by Health Department staff.  One individual in New York City currently remains under quarantine.

 

The patient being treated for Ebola at HHC Bellevue Hospital Center continues to show improvement and is stable. He remains in isolation and is receiving treatment.

 

The City is also providing an update on the number of individuals under active monitoring in New York City. As of Wednesday, November 5th, 357 individuals are being actively monitored by the Health Department. The vast majority of these individuals are travelers arriving in New York City within the past 21 days from the three Ebola-affected countries who are being monitored post-arrival, as well as Bellevue Hospital staff caring for Dr. Spencer.  The list also includes FDNY EMS staff who transported Dr. Spencer to Bellevue and the lab workers who conducted Dr. Spencer's blood test.  All of these individuals are being monitored out of an abundance of caution, and none are showing any symptoms.  The number of individuals who will be actively monitored will continue to fluctuate as people arrive or depart New York City, we learn more about people's exposures, and 21 days of monitoring has passed.

FACT SHEET: Emergency Funding Request to Enhance the U.S. Government’s Response to Ebola at Home and Abroad

Since the first cases of Ebola were reported in West Africa in March 2014, the United States has mounted a whole-of-government response to contain and eliminate the epidemic at its source, while also taking prudent measures to protect the American people.

 

Today, the Administration announced it is seeking $6.18 billion through an emergency funding request to Congress to enhance our comprehensive efforts to address this urgent situation.  To help meet both immediate and longer-term requirements, $4.64 billion is requested for immediate response and $1.54 billion is requested as a Contingency Fund to ensure that there are resources available to meet the evolving nature of the epidemic.

 

The $4.64 billion for the Administration’s immediate response, as outlined below, is designed to fortify domestic public health systems, contain and mitigate the epidemic in West Africa, speed the procurement and testing of vaccines and therapeutics, and strengthen global health security by reducing risks to Americans by enhancing capacity for vulnerable countries to prevent disease outbreaks, detect them early, and swiftly respond before they become epidemics that threaten our national security.  These are the same activities that are necessary to combat the spread of Ebola and reduce the potential for future outbreaks of infectious diseases that could follow a similarly devastating, costly, and destabilizing trajectory.

So, according to Tyler, having many people under surveillance is bad because it means that Ebola isn't contained? Guess it would be more contained if no one got monitored then...

From the Guardian:

A journalist in Sierra Leone who has criticised the government’s handling of the Ebola outbreak was allegedly beaten then jailed under emergency laws meant to help bring the epidemic under control.

David Tam Baryoh, a high-profile radio journalist whose reports have often needled officials, is being detained at the maximum-security Pademba Road prison in the capital Freetown.

Local journalists said they fear a crackdown as they seek to keep on top of hundreds of millions of aid coming in. 

Legislators in Sierra Leone threatened to gag the media over their coverage of the controversial allocation in September of 60m leones (£8,620) to each MP to boost Ebola awareness in their constituencies.

Last year, a number of top health officials were indicted for siphoning about $500,000 from a childhood immunisation fund sponsored by the Gates Foundation.

I'm not worried it's contained in New York City.  Ebola is known like all viruses to just kinda like self-contain.   It could kill everybody in that city and will never, ever, ever, never decide to infect anyone else outside those specific zip codes.  Trust me I'm a DUCKTOR.

I see your point, but not yet.

They are spending a fortune chasing this thing in circles, but wait until a couple of drug addicts get it, or it gets misdiagnosed in a big hospital.  Then we'll see what it's got.

On the other hand, something simple could be stopping it, chlorine/fluoride in the water, or something that will be obvious only with 20/20 hind sight.  We'll know soon.  Good luck to all.

You mean a story sensationalized and headlined by ZH and not reported on at all by the MSM?  All healthcare workers and individuals who arrive back from affected countries are monitored.

I noticed that our newspapers, who have been told what to print by our politicians, have told us that infections are down in Liberia.  Well, I don't trust any of the sources here:  our politicians (who actively suppress news), our press (who do as they are told), the Liberian government (!!!), or the Liberian press (!!!).  You are welcome to chow down on whatever propaganda you wish.

And where do you get the idea that "all individuals who arrive back from affected countries are monitored"?  That is nonsense; no-one is monitoring run of the mill people who are coming in from those areas.

Minnesota for God's sake is monitoring 48 run-of-the-mill people and healthcare workers, Delaware 11, 6 in Indiana who returned from West Africa.  It is basic procedure for many states.  I remember a recent NPR program where there are 3 basic levels of risk and even the least at risk are asked to report their temperature twice daily.

Please provide a link to a credible source to support your claim that it is typical for regular people who come from the hot zones, to be monitored.  You cannot, because they aren't being monitored.  At most, health care workers are.  You are an out-and-out liar.

BTW, the very numbers you provide show you to be a liar.  Those are very very few people; far fewer than the number who are coming in from those areas.  So necessarily they are not monitoring everyone who comes in from them.

More likely the sensationalist headlines turned into a nothingburger and the networks chose not to report further so as not to look like idiots.  Kind of like how ZH has reported on many cases of people who appeared to have symptoms but when they test negative from Ebola ZH doesn't add that to the story because all the hot air has been let out of their story.

I agree, I can hardly believe this is happening! Next we might even hear the economy only grew because of the massive 10% jump in federal spending, mostly on Pentagon hardware the biggest increase in federal spending since 2009, when the Obama administration put in place a huge economic stimulus package.

The economic recovery that the media and talking heads have been bantering around is a manipulated myth. A manipulated stock market distorted by recent economic policy hides and mask the real truth, in many ways it is ground zero in the war to convince us all is well. The American people and Main Street will tell you they are far from convinced that it is smooth sailing ahead. Fact is if QE or the massive government deficit spending that props up our economy is removed it will fold like a cheap umbrella.

Obama just asked for $6.2 billion to manage this, no problem its only money! 

Below is a post that acts as a primer that looks at how the debt America has must be laid at the feet of each of us. It will make anyone who reads it think twice before saying that every 3 to 13 billion dollar program government considers should be passed. At one time a billion dollars was a lot of money and it still is.

Most people that haven't given government debt much thought and might not think about how much money a billion dollars is considering how modern media and politicians throw the "B" word around. On several occasions I have heard both Washington politicians and the news media accidentally confuse a billion dollars with its much smaller sister the million marker.

This drives me crazy. With a billion dollars being a thousand time larger this confusion is undefendable.  The article below is a primmer on the ugly math of our debt delving into how much it cost each and every American when the government spends a billion dollar.

Thought:

The powers that be know that there is no stopping this ebola freight train (or maybe they don't want to as long them and theirs are safe) and so once/if this thing hits and hits hard...elections won't fucking matter. They will no longer be able to divide us with circus politics and circus media and circus everything, because too many people will be dying...and fucking pissed off.

So the point of staving off ebola news until the fucking day after this election is so that if/when this shit burns out after a possible long and deadly infection of the entire country, 'they' are hoping that we will all still hate each other and we will subconciously remember the last big election before the ebola hit the fan when we hated each other, and we can just go back to hating each other and eventually forget about the thousands or millions (or whatever the number MIGHT end up being) that died from this fucking train wreck of a disease.

Do you really believe Africa is anywhere near under control? If you do, because of a few 'positive' blurbs here and there, think again. Dig deeper for your news.

  Imagine if humanity were able to extend life out to 150-200 years. Everything you see around you would take on a different meaning.

  How long would you drive a car?

  How long would you stay married?

  How would you define risk?

  How would you manage your health?

Fecking ridiculous figures coming out of WHO today showing the cumulative death rate DROPPING by nearly 500 over the last week in Sierra Leone.

31st October:   5338 infections,1510 deaths
5th November: 4759 infections, 1070 deaths.

So, according to these latest figures, the death rate is only about 20% of infections, not the 50% - 70% generally accepted for this outbreak.

31st October; http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/137424/1/roadmapsitrep_31Oct201...
5th November: http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/137510/1/roadmapsitrep_5Nov14_e...

Minnesota is full of Muslim West Africans.  The Bakken oilfield is also loaded with them, they're run by shady labor contractors and work in every sercice industry job you can think of, grocery stores for example.  They get away with it because the businesses were screaming that they couldn't get labor at the wages they wanted to pay, go figure nobody wants to make 10 bucks an hour when your rent is 5 grand.  They fly them home once or twice a year.

Ok, but if the exponential infection rates were  correct there'd be tens if not hundreds of thousands by now. This will be forgotten as soon as a glamorous new disease comes along,

It is simply standard practice for many states to monitor even the least at-risk individuals coming from West Africa by having them report their temperature twice daily.  I know you're all quite sad that no new cases have popped up and are probably disheartened that ZH's sensationalist headlines have proved fruitless as Liberia Ebola infections decrease rapidly (which ZH has unsuprisingly not made into a headline).

Guess what.  A government that will suppress news of possible infections, will also suppress news of actual cases.

And, it is not standard practice for states to monitor run of the mill people, coming in from the hot zones.  You have made that claim several times, and have provided no link or support or evidence for it.  Instead you provided numbers that disproved your claim.  As a practical matter, people from those countries come in through a few airports; they then move on to wherever they please.  The state they go to from there has no way to know that they have shown up; even if they wanted to monitor them they couldn't because they don't know of their arrival.

Who is paying you to post this crap?

HERE’S Why Ebola Is No Longer In the News

 

Forbes’ David Kroll – an adjunct professor at Duke University Medical Center -  notes:

The Associated Press and other press outlets have agreed not to report on suspected cases of Ebola in the United States until a positive viral RNA test is completed.

In other words, the mainstream media has agreed not to report on any suspected Ebola cases.

I guess the Ebola czar has been a busy boy, after all … you know, preventing panic and all that.

Or it may not be in the news because Ebola rates are decreasing and the media doesn't want to look idiotic as they report false case after false case.

Never let a good crisis go to waste. Let's see: President Golfstix says he needs 6.18 billion to fight Obola. We already have a budget of 2.2 trillion or so. Just can't find that 6.18B from somewhere in that 2.2T, eh? And our present department of health is where? Getting paid for what? Caddying your golf bags?

If you were into the truth, you would provide links to support your claims that regular travelers from the hot zones are typically monitored by the states.  But you are just lying, so you can't provide links.  You are not a realist, you are a liar.  Your trust in the stats provided by African governments (!) is the ultimate proof of trolldom.

To the Campus Community:

Over the past month, we have continued to refine and strengthen our Ebola preparedness at UCLA. Drawing on expertise from across the campus, particularly in the UCLA Health System, we have worked diligently to establish and test procedures to effectively and humanely care for people in the event they are stricken with Ebola, and to prevent the spread of the disease.

Dude I'm going to college to get an education not to catch Ebola. Yellen better go up my FAFSA or I don't know how long I'm going to be in this game. Makes me wonder whether the girl that got up and left sick after returning from the restroom was faking it or had some kind of virus. Maybe it was a bat case of the flu M'Fers.
