First US case of Ebola

[XNavyNuke]

Droplet spread.

think about it this way: Technically there is a difference. Airborne is your sick and breathe out. viri in your lungs floats around, gets sucked up into a ventilation duct and some pour sucker 4 doors downs gets sick. droplet is more like it had the dispersal characteristics of a spit wad shooter. if flies and lands somewhere. if that's someones eye or they touch where it landed and their hand ends up at their mouth, they get sick.

The Glorious Leader assures me that there are no body fluids being spread here.

Moral hazards make a disease far worse than it needs to be (public fear panic / ignorance, power mad "authorities", greed / profit motive, medical / media BS errors such as antibiotics or un-proven long term effects of anti-viral or vaccinations).

If this was a insane population reduction scheme, they'd be keeping entire flights of passengers huddled close together in the hallways of the airports for 20 days whenever a single arriving passenger was suspected of being infected. After removing the obviously sick person after a week of horrid living conditions at the airport, they'd let all the other passengers scurry home or to their connecting flights so they could spread the infection geometrically.

Possible second case being reported in Dallas...family member of the infected man. Not confirmed...just read some radio station announced it.

Thanks. I'm sure they will be checking anyone they know he was in contact with.

Thanks. I'm sure they will be checking anyone they know he was in contact with.

right...like all the people on the plane, the airport personnel, the people stateside, the people who first saw him and then discharged him with a perscription for anitbiotics, the people who were in line with him waiting to fill the perscription, all the door knobs he touched, etc., etc.

it doesn't have to be airborne to be a serious threat. the BS with which our dear leaders are responding to this makes you almost think it's intentional.

How so?I am talking about a successful vaccine here.The sooner the better.

I would pay $100 dollars tomorrow for a successful vaccine which would inoculate me from people who met people who flew on the same airline or ate in the same restaurant or stayed in the same hotel or rode the same bus as people who were in any kind of close contact with victims of this disease.

The contamination incident, which is being investigated by the four European countries, came to light when the subcontractor in the Czech Republic inoculated ferrets with the product and they died. Ferrets shouldn't die from exposure to human H3N2 flu viruses.

Public health authorities concerned about what has been described as a "serious error" on Baxter's part have assumed the death of the ferrets meant the H5N1 virus in the product was live. But the company, Baxter International Inc., has been parsimonious about the amount of information it has released about the event.

Be careful who you trust.

I hate to rain on a good panic parade, but, contrary to the thread title, this is NOT the first US case of ebola. This is just another case of someone contracting ebola in Africa. It may lead to the first US case of ebola, but this ain't it.

wake me up when its announced members of Congress are ill with Ebola.....

till then, continue with the D3 vitamin, and 3 shots of tequila every 2 hours.

 

[cajuncocoa]

Just a thought, but maybe this was the doing of ISIS??

Yes. Definitely.

 

[cajuncocoa]

Seeing that they sent the guy home on the 26th even though he showed symptoms makes me think they wanted more people infected. But I'm a conspiracy nut so .....

 

[GunnyFreedom]

wake me when somebody has actually caught it outside of west Africa

dont believe the hype

You awake yet? Apparently someone just caught it outside of West Africa behind this guy.

Seriously,,
Who did not see this coming?

Everyone should have saw this coming, considering top scientists have said it, and it's been plotted that there was a 1 in 5 chance of it being spread to America by the end of September.

Yup, as soon as they brought that first guy to Atlanta. Seems like someone almost wanted, invited it to happen. Now, follow the money as the story unfolds, and see who benefits.

"That first guy" was an American doctor who recovered 100%, didn't infect anyone else, and was in strict isolation. It's amazing what IV fluids will do with ebola patients - we have them, most third-world countries have them, but in extremely limited supplies. If you can keep an ebola patient's fluid levels steady, their chance of surviving is high.

right...like all the people on the plane, the airport personnel, the people stateside, the people who first saw him and then discharged him with a perscription for anitbiotics, the people who were in line with him waiting to fill the perscription, all the door knobs he touched, etc., etc.

Unless the doorknob was vomited on, ejaculated on, or bled on, and a person touched it with a untreated and unbandaged laceration, it won't spread. Ebola can not spread during it's incubation period.

Yep.

It's unfortunately the American/Allopathic "way" to diagnose and treat most medical ailments. 10 minute sit down with a doctor, and a prescription given at the end. Even for viral infections, of which antibiotics are of no use... which contributes heavily to the issue of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Thank goodness! Otherwise medical professionals would be saying health workers need optimal respiratory protection for Ebola.

No need to worry -- Obama says we are all safe. We are supposed to be afraid of libertarians and Russians.

You forgot about ISIS. Never forget about ISIS.

It is the first WILD case of Ebola. The others were brought in under controlled conditions.

Ambulance 37 which transported him to the hospital has been cordoned off. There are concerns after it was used to move patients for two days after the Ebola patient but hospital officials have reassured citizens that it was properly sterilized.

http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/10/no_author/who-else-did-he-infect/

then why "cordon it off" now? And what is "proper sterilization" for Ebola contamination?

My husband is an expediter for a major hospital here and he just got an order for "extra" masks.
