Connecticut health department gets power to quarantine possible Ebola victims
The Washington Post's Government Beat ^ | October 7, 2014 | Reid Wilson

Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy (D) signed an order Tuesday allowing the state health commissioner to order quarantines for individuals who may have been exposed to the Ebola virus, a step he said would help fight any possible outbreak.

The order [pdf] gives Jewel Mullen, commissioner of the state Department of Public Health, authority to order isolation or quarantine for anyone believed to be exposed to or infected with the deadly virus.

“We are taking this action today to ensure that we are prepared, in advance, to deal with any identified cases in which someone has been exposed to the virus or, worst case, infected,” Malloy said in a statement. “[I]t is essential to be prepared and we need to have the authorities in place that will allow us to move quickly to protect public health, if and when that becomes necessary.”

The order declares a public health emergency in Connecticut even though there are no suspected cases of Ebola in the state.

Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have tested dozens of people for the Ebola virus, and so far only one person — Thomas Duncan, the Liberian currently in critical condition in a Dallas hospital — has been positive....

Bring Out Your Dead

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...

grab some tinfoil for this thought...

what if it was ‘discovered’ that TEA party and conservatives were ‘observed to have high incidents of possible ebola infection’

then they’d be quarantined... only to ‘die’ in quarantine from the ‘infection’

sounds far fetched doesn’t it?

now realize... 0bama is president.

still far fetched?

The CIA’s Secret Heart Attack Gun .

A CIA secret weapon used for assassination shoots a small poison dart to cause a heart attack, as explained in Congressional testimony in the video. The dart from this secret CIA weapon can penetrate clothing and leave nothing but a tiny red dot on the skin. On penetration of the deadly dart, the individual targeted for assassination may feel as if bitten by a mosquito, or they may not feel anything at all. The poisonous dart completely disintegrates upon entering the target. The lethal poison then rapidly enters the bloodstream causing a heart attack. Once the damage is done, the poison denatures quickly, so that an autopsy is very unlikely to detect that the heart attack resulted from anything other than natural causes. Sounds like the perfect James Bond weapon, doesn’t it? Yet this is all verifiable in Congressional testimony. The astonishing information about this secret weapon of the CIA comes from U.S. Senate testimony in 1975 on rogue activities of the CIA. This weapon is only one of many James Bond-like discoveries of the Church Committee hearings, officially known as the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence activities.

Still think Andrew Breitbart died of natural causes?

Obama didn’t end federal quarantine law, he didn’t sign into law changes first proposed in 2005.

“The Centers for Disease Control sent the new rules forward for formal approval in June, 2009, despite the criticism.”
