Report: Ebola Suspected In Europe: “Broken Through All Containment Efforts”
SHTF Plan ^ | 4/20/14

Posted on 04/20/2014 1:38:13 PM PDT by Kartographer

Though officials at the World Health Organization are feverishly working to stop the spread of the Ebola virus in what is now seven African nations, their efforts may be for naught. In Guinea, a hot spot for the deadly contagion, government health officials have said that the outbreak is nearly under control. Yet, Reuters reports that the government “planned to stop publicly releasing the death toll to avoid causing unnecessary panic.”

But panic may be in order.

Despite the best efforts of emergency health workers it appears that virus may have crossed out of Africa into Europe.

“That was then, this is now.”

Yes. I’ve read about this particular Ebola from the start and that’s what happened. A man left the more jungle area and went to a town fairly far from the original area to where his family lived. He got sick and he and the whole family died and those working in that hospital where he was, started dying and that was the beginning of quarantine trying to stop it. It hasn’t been stopped. Now, with a person being able to carry it for 20 days before it develops, that person can travel anywhere and start infecting people “by touch” when the fever starts. It said it travels by “touch”, not just blood products although that would certainly do it, too, as well as any other bodily fluid.

I am not concerned about myself since I can shut the door and live for a very long time without needing anything from the outside world. It is others who would still be moving around who need to know about this possibility. A possibility is just that - it may or may not happen. I prefer to have life insurance by storing what I need, so I have. I certainly hope it’s not in Italy but I did notify my son in London and now he knows to be watchful for their country.

Ebola and Lassa Fever have both crossed into Europe from Africa before, and been contained with fairly simple (for civilized countries) measures.

"According to the World Health Organization, this strain of Ebola is entirely new and although it is close to the Zaire strain, it is different,...Alarmingly, a story that appeared about the outbreak on national news wires was reportedly removed by the Italian government for “national security reasons,...'"

Serious stuff.

I would say you should be prepared to shelter in place for at least 2 months. I read that most pandemics peak at 6 weeks but it would still be around.

Thanks for the explanation. If it hits countries with modern medical care it should not spread like wildfire, then.

So, according to the Italian report, it’s nothing more than FaceBook alarmism due to a group of travelers with low grade fevers. The second source says nothing about Ebola in Italy. Got it.

“I would say you should be prepared to shelter in place for at least 2 months. I read that most pandemics peak at 6 weeks but it would still be around.”

Can’t argue that...not to mention the recovery time to get our distribution system restarter being down for 2 months. It could get nasty.

The Italian report is the typically fun part. Here's the quote from the article behind the link above this thread.

(Google Translation via Italy’s Vnews24)

And ‘mystery about forty hypothetical cases of Ebola registered in our country. The virus is particularly common on the African continent – the cases “official” were recorded in Senegal, Mali and Ghana - may have arrived in Italy “thank you” to the massive exodus of immigrants to our shores. A first “bell” d ‘alarm was launched by Lampedusa. According to a report appeared in the network (and immediately removed for reasons of “national security”), in fact, April 16 would be recorded on an epidemic ‘island, never confirmed nor refuted by our Ministry of Health.

A new ”SOS” about the spread of the virus’ Ebola in the Bel Paese is, this time, from Tuscany. Means of dissemination of the news shock is always the network: blogs, social networks, websites dedicated highlighted the “Curious Case of St. Flushing,” reception center site in Pisa, closed to the public due to the presence, all ‘inside of it, forty non-EU nationals which are to some strange symptoms. Capuzzi Sandra, Councillor for Social Policies of the Municipality of Pisa, he would have dismissed the alarmism of his countrymen, by classifying the health status of the refugees in the structure in these terms: “They have just a little bit fever, caused by stressful travel conditions under which the children were subjected. “

Fear, meanwhile, remains. The forty possible carriers of the virus’ Ebola have been subjected to all the tests required in high-risk situations. The Italian population, however, does not feel the climate of reassurance that high institutional positions and subjected try to transmit information through various channels, official and unofficial. The tension increases, although the Ministry of Health said that, in the unlikely event of an outbreak, Rome and Milan would be ready to face the ‘epidemic.
