Man tests positive for Ebola in Delhi (India), quarantined

The body fluid of a 26-year-old Indian man, who landed in Delhi from Liberia, has tested positive for Ebola virus, even as another man in Rajasthan showed Ebola-like symptoms.

The man in Delhi was admitted to a health facility in the African nation in September and treated for Ebola. He was carrying a disease-free certificate from the Liberian health ministry, claiming he underwent treatment successfully and was cured of the disease.

The infected Indian who reached Delhi on November 10 underwent the mandatory screening at the Delhi airport. His blood tested negative for the virus.

But when his body fluids were checked, his semen tested positive for Ebola in two different government laboratories in the last two days.

The tests were conducted at the National Centre for Disease Control, Delhi, and National Institute of Virology, Pune.

And so it begins.

America is at risk for an ongoing low-frequency ebola crisis but places like India packed full of poor, malnourished, millions without access to clean water and decent sanitation could be devastated.

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...

Holy *****

I can think of no worse place to have an ebola outbreak. Remember, its still here in sleeper form, with the illegal invaders.HHS is keeping it under wraps for the emperor’s approval ratings

Which communities do you think will be hardest hit? It won’t be conservative communities.

Orangi town? It will actually be the ghettos, white and black, asian and latino. Allowing people in here unhindered is inviting the deaths of minorities, and the poor. Thanks Obama.

I don’t want any Americans to suffer, just traitors. The only silver lining if Ebola comes here, is if it works its way into the elite career politicians. I hope they all survive too. They might get it then.

This is why there should be a travel ban on West Africa to any other country for the duration. We have a limited window to keep this from spreading geographically. Once the cats out of the bag into some other part of the Third World...

I thought the Ebola czar and Obala said quarantine is the worst thing you can do when there is an ebola outbreak.

Yep, if it spreads in India, it will spread in Asia, Asia minor. Also Pakistan, and the Middle East. Likely Eastern Europe as well.

Then what will islam do when they are all bleeding out their ears?

Does anyone know how many people live in high risk areas for a Ebola epidemic....like India? In the world, I wanna run some figures.

All certainly true. However compare how thoroughly poor India is trying to keep it out with ‘rich’ America under Obama’s efforts. For all the perverse, wasteful things DHS has done here to travelers I’ve never heard of them requiring semen testing! Gotta give India an A for effort and for accurately targeting their screening to the anti-PC limit. May their Gods protect them.

No Problemo!

Those Indian folks will just take a quick dip in the purifying waters of the Sacred River Ganges and Voila!

You don’t like Indians? I like Indians. Are usually really good to me.

Not to mention Indians in my town that I’ve met own successful businesses that their families help run. They’re great people.

Also know a Vietnamese family that owns a business as well, their kid is a decent guy too. He’s 25 and finishing his masters in bio-engineering. Always nice to me, everybody love them, and their store is in a redneck gun toting conservative area of town. They own a little market, when my family was going through hard times the owner would tell us we didn’t need to pay for things like toilet paper and stuff when ringing them up at the counter frequently, or pay when we could, always paid him back. Seriously love that guy.

Why the hate for Indians?

It already is. Mali, Congo, Nigeria(most likely), Kenya....take your pick. I have heard there are villages in countries like Sierra Leone that are completely gone, dead rotting unburied that no one will go near. But you won’t hear about those from anyone but people that have been there.

I think it would be a safe bet to say there are villages all over other African countries suffering from Ebola right now. These stories skim the surface of what is likely a much bigger problem then anyone is letting on. WHO says three times the amount reported are infected, it’s likely much more, which means the spread is much higher than the 2. whatever number a few weeks back.

I believe it’s just the HEAD IN SAND behavior, and arrogance of evil men. I cannot trust anyone in government anywhere, anymore. If they are saying there is a problem, then saying it’s 3x more of a problem then they admitted, while also telling the world the spread is way ahead of us, then no news is being reported about it very much anymore by western outlets after other governments say we need to stop it dead NOW or we’re in trouble, but still seeing it crop up all over the world every 7-9 days, I think we have a serious problem.

If people in level 4 bio-hazard protection are catching it, then its all over the place.

Hope this isn’t true, but won’t be surprised if in a few more months epidemics start cropping up in more third world countries, far from West Africa. I wouldn’t be surprised if epidemics started cropping up in impoverished areas of westernized countries....like Detroit. Chicago, NY, any place where there are a lot of people in a small area are at high risk with no travel bans even if it’s an affluent area.

I have seen and read much about Ebola, and I keep coming to the conclusion that it HAS to be airborne. There just isn’t any other way it could spread like this. The media reports Africans are stupid and paranoid. Then tell me why is it spreading even in the areas that aren’t living in sewage , eating dead monkeys, living in huts in the jungle?

If he got that certificate from Mr. Haney of Green Acres, it probably cost him an arm and a leg. Haney was known as a grinning shyster and a snake oil salesman. Eva Douglas would have purchased two certificates, “in case their was a relapse”, advised Mr. Haney.
