A patient who sought treatment on Monday at a Houston emergency room is being tested for Ebola.

The person has a history of travel to West Africa and "symptoms consistent with a lot of things that could also include Ebola" said Houston health department spokeswoman Kathy Barton.

You better make sure at least three or four of your medical staff catch it while delivering treatment, or your ass is going to get sued.

Why don’t they just put the caregivers in wetsuits with scuba gear and afterwards, throw them in a series of dip tanks before they unsuit?

The CDC’s Ebola plane, the Gulfstream G3 N163PA, went to Houston this afternoon, was on the ground for an hour, then went to *****Guadalajara, Mexico *******

It is currently enroute from GDL to Atlanta Fulton County, and about to touch down.

There is a LOT more going on here, folks.

Texas Health Presby had 2 that caught it and they quietly settled with Duncan’s family. The schmuck of a nephew who ranted and raved about the “ordeal” his uncle went through by being sent home is now glowing about Presby.

Wetsuits are permeable.

Being from West Africa and bringing Ebola with you is like winning the lottery. How much did Duncan’s family receive in ca$h?

Why do the Republicans let this stuff continue. I read here we let people in that have ebola. I read in another thread we are providing section 8 housing to people that are radical islamists practicing their mid evil system of justice.

Do you expect much of a change when the Pubbies take over?

They want to be loved.

Show them some scorn, ridicule and criticism...publicly...as a member of the base.

They’re going to have to change the number now that people can track it. Did they bring in one of obola’s unaccompanied illegals or a healthcare worker who decided to party in Guadalajara instead of staying home for 21 days? Anyone know where Nurse Kaci took off to after leaving Maine?

What the hell? Are they just picking up typhoid Mary’s and Jerry’s and dropping them off here and there? I swear they will not be satisfied until they’ve got it spreading in the USA.

I've been contacting all the relevant authorities I can suggesting that they use this route.

It is like trying to stay dry while using this method to feed fish.

Rather than this method.

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.


Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

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...

Why yes, yes I do!

A 2° shift to starboard and a 3 knot drop in speed.
