CONTAGION: Second Ebola Case Suspected In Dallas: “This Is Real”
SHTF Plan ^ | 10/1/14 | Mac Slavo

Posted on 10/01/2014 3:41:15 PM PDT by Kartographer

Dallas health officials are now monitoring another person who they fear may have Ebola after coming into contact with the infected man currently being treated in Dallas, Texas.

“Let me be real frank to the Dallas County residents: the fact that we have one confirmed case, there may be another case that is a close associate with this particular patient,” Dallas County Health and Human Services Director Zachary Thompson said Wednesday in an interview with local ABC affiliate WFAA. “So this is real.”

“There should be a concern, but it’s contained to the specific family members and close friends at this moment.”

I am sure Obama is leaning on this as hard as he can, between rounds of gold of course.

I went out this afternoon to buy shelves for our utility room for ‘provisions’. Been needing to do it for a long time because we’re in ‘tornado alley’. Dry and canned goods....and water.

Help me out here:

I thought the incubation period was close to 20 days.
I think the First Guy arrived on Sept 20.
He came in contact with someone, and now, about 10 days later, the second person is in isolation and being tested? Are they showing symptoms? In 10 days?

Why don't I believe anything anyone says about this disease?

5 kids are also being monitored because they had contact with Patient Zero.

Some of those 5 kids were in school, but since they showed no symptoms, the officials apparently think those at the school(s) are not in any danger.

3 EMTs were quarantined and tested. Apparently, those tests came back negative.

Per CDC yesterday, the period of being contagious can be between 2 day and 3 weeks.

Some say it cannot be transmitted unless/until the patient shows symptons. Others seem to disagree. Their symptoms can be mild as cold-like or flu-like. They may even appear to get better and then get worse.

Its bad enough that 100s if not 1000s of Americans die or suffer great trauma at the hands of illegal aliens every year either by drunk driving, murder, theft, rape, molestation, and disease.

Now it is possible that countless numbers will die because Obama refuses to follow the most basic protocol when fighting an epidemic.

SHUT DOWN THE BORDER!!! TO EVERYBODY. We have so many people flooding in from all over the world and Obama distributes them throughout the countries to our neighborhoods and schools. And for what? So we can be assaulted, robbed and infected with contagious disease?

Where is the government? Why is Obama still President? Why has he not been arrested for treason and hung for his crimes against humanity. This is why he has invited the poor and desperate to come here, this is why he allows the Muslim to seek refuge here.

He allows them in by the millions to drain our resources, infect and rape our women and children with disease and allow the Muslim to cut our throats.

WHO IS WILLING TO STOP THE INSANITY??? WHO IS WILLING TO PUT AN END TO THIS NIGHTMARE????

“Some of those 5 kids were in school, but since they showed no symptoms, the officials apparently think those at the school(s) are not in any danger.”

The truth is that since the fluids themselves are contagious then anyone who has the fluids on their skin or clothing are also contagious if the right conditions are met. That cannot be denied. Those fluids could also be transferred to items such as door handles. So a child on there way to school after being in the area with uncle Eric could definitely expose others at school. No matter how remote the chance. It could happen.

BUMP! A 5 year moratorium on all immigration to get a handle where we are at in our history as a republic.

Another promise kept!

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...
