An NBC news crew that was exposed to a cameraman with the deadly Ebola virus has been forced to undergo a mandatory quarantine.

The group, which includes chief medical correspondent Nancy Snyderman had been asked to isolate itself for 21 days after their colleague Ashoka Mukpo was diagnosed with Ebola this month.

But someone in the NBC crew violated the voluntary agreement forcing New Jersey officials to step in and issue a mandatory quarantine order on Friday night.

It's a good thing we have all these elite know-it-alls to tell us little people how to live our lives.

Somebody will just have to miss the Oktoberfest and possibly even the Halloween Costume Ball. So sorry. The Obola Virus cannot read our Gregorian Calendar.

The screening involved is totally inadequate and instead needs to follow that is being forced upon this NBC crew. Sure, they will possibly catch the symptomatic one unable to mask their fever with ibuprofen (and imagine the mad scramble when they get a ‘hit’) but what about the arriving passenger who was infected yesterday???

1) Check the passport. No West Africa? Standard processing.
2) yes, West Africa? In depth questioning, possible quarantine if agent is not convinced.

The way I heard it -- quite a few days ago -- was that Nancy Snyderman had been over there, was coming back, and -- just out of the goodness of her heart, and to show how much she cared, and how serious these things should be taken -- had elected to put herself in quarantine for 21 days.

I'm thinking that wasn't true.

I'm thinking there's a good chance she has it.

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...

Did you look at the pictures at the link?
Nobody is wearing goggles. All suited up, wrapped in tyvek apparel and covered, masks over the mouth and nose but nothing to protect viral entry through the eyes. That doesn’t look like Level 4 protection to me.

Miss Nancy Snyderman supposedly did. She was (supposedly) spotted in a car when her male accomplice stopped in a restaurant to pick up the take out. A person or persons then alerted the authorities.

o’bumbles - some time ago, long before this ‘outbreak’, set it up so that ANYONE who shows ANY flu- cold like symptoms can be quarantined.

I wonder, will they let us take our toothbrushes to the F... camps?

Will they separate those that test positive for the big “E’ from they rest of us - or let it run rampant?

DEPOPULATION.
