Uganda Ebola Outbreak Spreads To Local Prison
While world markets are transfixed by what central planners in various continents may do, but really just say, a tragedy in Africa continues to develop, as the recently reported Ebola outbreak in the infamous country of Uganda, which is not Spain, has now spread to a local prison, even as the number of infected cases has doubled in the last several days since we first reported on this most recent Outbreak which luckily has for now not spread outside of the country. CNN reports: "The hospital at the center of an Ebola outbreak in Uganda is now dealing with 30 suspected cases, including five from Kibaale prison, Dr. Dan Kyamanywa said Thursday. Three patients at Kagadi hospital have been confirmed as having the virus, said Kyamanywa, a district health officer. Doctors are now testing the suspected cases urgently so they can separate confirmed cases from those who do not have the disease, Doctors Without Borders said. Suspected cases are still trickling into the hospital, Kyamanywa said. At least 16 people have died in the current outbreak."
More:
"We do expect the number of suspected cases to increase," he said. "It's important to break transmission and reduce the number of contacts that suspected cases have."
There is a fear that the outbreak will spread to the capital, but it is unlikely, he said.
Many patients fled Kagadi hospital when Ebola was confirmed, he said, and the hospital is struggling to respond to all the call-outs to suspected cases.
"Right now there is no treatment for Ebola, so the most effective measure we can take is to contain the spread of the disease," said Olimpia de la Rosa, the Doctors Without Borders emergency coordinator for Uganda Ebola intervention.
"That is why we need to start working immediately. Other cases need to be rapidly identified because containment is what can stop it," said the expert from the aid group, which is also known as Medecins Sans Frontieres.
The Ugandan government has asked people in western Uganda to travel by public transport only if it is necessary.
Here one may wonder if, just as in the case of Fukushima, the media is not reporting the full severity of the situation:
Market day was canceled Wednesday after Uganda's president warned people not to gather in large groups.
Health officials urged the public to report any suspected cases, to avoid contact with anyone infected and to wear gloves and masks while disinfecting bedding and clothing of infected people. Officials also advised avoiding public gatherings in the affected district.
Teams in Uganda are taking an aggressive approach, including trying to track down anyone who came into contact with patients infected with the virus and health workers have been gearing up for better protection of health workers and an influx of cases.
The workers include people from Uganda's ministry of health, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization.
And of course, the biggest concern is getting one of those infected but asymptomatic on board of a plane and headed for Europe of the US. The resulting panic would be quite unwelcome. Or welcome, depending on one administration's need to force a social clamp down.

MOAR QE!
I wish we could put Jon Corzine in an Ebola-Infested, Third World hellhole prison in Uganda.
...or Camden, NJ?
Coming soon to a town near you....
...or Capitol Hill.
One can only wish.
Ebola... you can't get that from opening an Ungandan Email can you?
Nope. Only from american one.
Let's invite a few Ugandans to address Congress...
Time to send banksters there to do some community service.
Bonus if they get ebola and just die off in Africa. At least their fat will feed hungry Africans children.
Well, I am sure they would call for the intimidating powers of the Secretary of State, which would make the deadly disease to back off in a hurry. Becuase between gazing into the eyes of the Medusa and running away, I would rather choose the latter option.
You can ward off the Medusas by carrying a bust of Hellary in your pocket.
just hope this sucker doesn't go aerosol transmission, or we're headed for the Georgia Guidestones.
naaw, they wouldn't want that, would they?
I thought Bill Gates was over there vaccinating everybody against this stuff!?!?
Major thinning of the herd, if this thing breaks out of Uganda. What was the title of the book on Ebola? I think it came out in the 1980s? Terrible way to die, takes a couple weeks with lots of blood coming out all of your orifices.
So, what part do banksters play in this disease? Clearly, they are involved somehow.
"The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston 1994
Ebola is the real deal, not some bird, swine, etc...flu.
couple weeks is far too long for a banker...

You have to wait in line for 2 days outside Apple Store though to get it.

Let me know when the headline reads, "Ebola Outbreak Spreads To JP Morgan Executive Boardroom".
This sounds like a porn fantasy. Where to I open my account? I'm looking for PPV, starting with the highest crooks.
doesn't even have to be that extreme with ebola and all.
just video tape kicking some bank exec in the balls and people will pay to see it.
heck, that should be Ron Paul's campaigning.
Motto: "I kick banksters in the balls"
Campaign Ad: "Ron Paul kicking banksters in the balls. This is all I need to demostrate to become the next president"
Forget writing books, just release "ball kickers gone wild DVD"
That's just sick.
Quoting Clueless economist: I wish we could put Jon Corzine in an Ebola-Infested, Third World hellhole prison in Uganda.
Heck, what did the Ugandans ever do to us to deserve Corzine? Ebola at least kills its victums rapidly, and leaves the financial system intact.
.
The suggestion to put Jon Corzine in a eubola infested prison in a third world prison in Uganda is depicable. I think the conditions and disease these inmates face are more than enough without introducing vermin like Corzine into their system.
In addition to JC...add all Congressmen and lobbyists

Somebody else did, aye?

I wonder how close is the nearest Bill and Melinda Gates Overpopulation Research Center.
Close enough, but not too close.
Check out the book, Hot Zone. A 'must read' if you'd like to get your head around the implications of a global oubreak of ebola.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hot_Zone
or read an old Tom Clancy novel
The Book of Revelation, "Masque of the Red Death," "War of the Worlds," "Andromeda Strain" -- humanity knows the potential endgame. This outbreak will end as have all the others: limited, and concluding as quickly as it appeared. That is the frustrating nature of Ebola zaire.

For the (wo)man who has everything...
So I guess those things are useful for more than just bong hits and beer drownings in college then?
Let's send the FRBNY and Treasury in to solve the problem!!!!!! Put all the patients and Team Bernanke, with the Plunge Protection Team, and they will solve the problem. I think it would definitely solve the financial crisis and relieve American Taxpayers.
I would ,certainly, be relieved.
Threat Journal had a writeup on this situation this morning:
Alert Details: Ebola Outbreak in Uganda
http://threatjournal.com/archive/tj08022012.html
"President Yoweri Museveni likewise warned Ugandans to avoid kissing,
promiscuity and burying those who may have died from Ebola."
I use this website to track emerging diseases and health issues.
http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/search.php?searchid=3989874
And to especially avoid kissing or engaging in promiscuous acts with the dead or those burrying the dead.
Named after the Ebola River, in the Congo, it is also known as Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF). (Not to be confused with Very High Frequency Trading or VHFT)
First known large outbreak in Zaire in 1976. 318 cases, 280 died, quickly. Later that same year, another outbreak in Sudan resulted in 284 reported cases and 156 deaths.
The outbreaks are often self-contained because they kill their hosts so quickly that they rapidly run out of people to infect.
The disease is so dangerous that the CDC responds to most outbreaks.
Once a patient is infected with Ebola, the incubation period is 4 to 16 days. The onset of disease is sudden, with fever, chills, headache, anorexia, and muscle pain. Read what follows after onset here. Death occurs within 7 to 16 days.
Timing is everything!
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived Thursday in the Ugandan capital Kampala, which has been hit by an Ebola outbreak and where she will spend one night before heading to South Sudan.
Maybe she'll pull a Princess Di and visit a prison while she's there.
"Suspected cases are still trickling into the hospital,.."
seriously?
ew ... gross.
"Trickling."
In light of the symptoms of this viral affliction, a poor choice of words.
If it gets worse, they will be flowing in, and then pouring in...
and then popping in
better than oozing in...
That made me think, trickling in... would accept it in case of Lepra!?

wonder how big the Uganda delegation to the olympics is ...
anybody else been reading Cliff High's work lately?
well...
I'm not Clif High, nor am I associated with them... but his technology is talking about some virus to spread through the Olympics to be taken back to home countries. Hard to say if this is from his technology, or his personal ramblings.
The guy is of Iranian extraction, has vitriolic hatred for Jews and Catholics and is probably a nut... but his technology has made some very accurate hits... and some very accurate misses, so we'll need to watch and see. If he would just turn off the hatred and stick to presenting what the web bot technology is seeing, he'd have a bit more credibility.
Any chance some Ugandan-athlete already has the infection?
This is all very interesting considering just a little while ago they announced Ebola was cured.

I am an avid zerohedge reader, doesn't mean i don't read other papers....you remind me of the far right or far left crowd your on the wrong site!
I read many others too, how else would I know who they whack and why.
Directing anyone to a site they belong on coincides with your Undecided Re-Mind !!
Canada is not Spain, err.. Uganda.
Ebola was cured? I'm glad to hear he is now healthy.
The cure has limitations. ie. timing - seems if you know you have been infected for sure you can survive with treatment before "1 day" has passed.
"Dr. Kobinger’s next challenge is to push that 24-hour window to 72 hours. The tricky thing about treating Ebola is that it has a 10-day incubation stage: By the time a person starts to show symptoms, it’s too late."
"But 72 hours after infection, doctors can detect the virus in the blood – a trigger for treatment. A cure that was effective after that point would be much more useful."
Also, it appears to be known to be effective on monkeys. They'd still need human trials if the opportunity arose... ie now and if they have enough to send out into the field.
Also, god knows how to store the cure, is it only viable in lab conditions and breaks down in hot/humid weather?
TPTB needed somewhere to incubate this shit before bringing it over here.
Incidentally, the local NYC papers just recently ran how the local hubs would be ground zero for contagion import:

Bonus round! We could use some of that to clean our prisons out. Beats the hell out of a Mariel boat lift.
When it arrives, best to be in B. F. Egypt...and that applies to a lot of things.
AWWW shucks my vacation plans are screwed!!!!
You could still go to the Sudan, or maybe the Congo. They are both lovely this time of year.
If a couple prisoners got it, likely the whole lot of prisoners have it.....depending on what the hygienic conditions of Ugandan prisons are.
And depending on how much butt fucking is going on.
Coroner's quandary-
death by Ebola or death by unga bunga?
We should immediately grant amnesty to all Ugandans and encourage them to seek refuge here in the U.S, infected or otherwise.

I bet the Chinese working in Africa have an "unnatural" resistance to the airborne Ebola virus.
Lucy, esplain!
Ebola, nor any of the hemorrhagic fever viruses, are airborne.
Statistically you have more chance of dying by tooth extraction...
Not in the South, where they let them rot and fall out naturally, as God intended.
Hey Mr. A.
I've cousins in the North that this also happens to! :D
I've seen this movie. I get to wander around in an empty city; use whatever fast cars and other things that are available to me...and yeah, things may smell a bit for awhile, what with all the dead bodies and such, but eventually I'll meet a hot chick that also survived, and we can hook up. Soon enough, we'll come across an amazingly diverse set of other survivors and re-start society with all of the current problems we face now; solving nothing.
Can't wait.
... I'm pretty sure that NO ONE that reads zerohedge is going to be allowed to be one of the survivers ...but if it helps you sleep at night, hold onto your fantasy.
My ass, I don't ask for allowance. I'll decide to go through no matter what they do.

Hats off for the couragious doctors and nurses in these hospitals in Uganda -which is not Spain.
A Virus is not a "'Mutual Assured [MAD] Destruction' - Weapon" created by man? No! It is rather nature itself bathing in `tranquil desperation' to right the landlord's wrong-- for all of mankind's stewards having had desecrated their mother with indescribable savagery. Having cast 'mother nature' as, but a modern day apostasy hand maiden prematurely written out of history by its iconoclast 'NWO' masters,...
Ebola could be our next Bubonic? Black Plague in Africa is so sad!

Great link [watched the entire 8 parts] ---placed link in personal files for future reference.
thankyou, Oldrepublic :-))
Ps. Reality is such a hard pill to swallow when we're aware that it is but only a placebo for our innate denial of mortality?
"which is not Spain"
Yuk it is almost as bad as what is coming out of Washington and Wall Street. The FED is much much more of an in process threat that is killing people around the world.
16 deaths and 30 infected is an "outbreak" or as some news outlets calling an "epidemic", think there needs be few zeros behind those numbers before they can claim either of those. Over 6 billion people on planet and they call 16 dead either of those?!
I like to panic as much as the next person, but it seems to me this Ebola virus kills its host too fast to be a good candidate for causing a worldwide pandemic.
"Here one may wonder if, just as in the case of Fukushima, the media is not reporting the full severity of the situation"
Well when the Toronto Star covered the conviction of 52-year old Ontario civil servant Johnson Aziga, nation of origin, UGANDA, for causing the death of many White Canadian women through AIDS and not telling them, they in first printing mentioned that the reason the death toll was so high and so fast was that it was a UGANDAN strain of HIV. In the next edtion of that story the reference to the potent Ugandan strain was deleted--politically incorrect you see. Better the white sheep don't know about it, could cause less than a celebratory viewpoint of immigration from the 3rd world.
Travel into the US from Asia, Africa, South America, is constant and with no checks. Heck Mitt and Obama want them to STAY...
EBOLA; Mexican Flu, renamed H5N1 avian influenza strain, can't be giving a negative impression of anything mexican you understand...then UNTREATABLE TB cases have been NUMEROUS in US last 10 years with travellers from Asia, Latin America bringing that joyous addition to our shores.
1st US case of Marburg fever confirmed in Colo.
The Associated Press - Feb 7, 2009
WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. (AP) — The first U.S. case of Marburg hemorrhagic fever has been confirmed in Colorado, and authorities say the patient — who contracted the rare illness while traveling in Uganda — has since recovered.
The disease, caused by a virus indigenous to Africa, spreads through contact with infected animals or the bodily fluids of infected humans.
"Jumping the Shark" , is passe'. "Jumping the Ebola", is the new catch phrase!
Maybe we can take up a special fund and sneak a bunch of them over the border into Israel so they can enrich the country with multi-culturalism.
