Government efficiency is so reassuring.....

Emory University Hospital is expected to receive a patient infected with the deadly Ebola virus within the next several days, the university announced Thursday.

me too!
Totally agree....
Surely we can fly in two Americans to treat & restore.....
.....O bama is allowing thousands in .....and diseases with them, with scant supervision......no telling what they’re bringing in.
Yup. One at least will be at Emory although they have two beds and could take both. The plane left around 5 this evening on the first leg of the trip to pick them up. I hope they can make it home - he took a slight turn for the worse last night & both are gravely ill.
“just getting in practice for the REAL show - national quarantine and marshal law.”
That could explain all those fema coffins ‘lying in wait’.
Prepper ping
TSHF might be coming sooner than we expect.

*Hardish to catch* does not equate with *contagious as all get out*.
Which is it? Everything I've heard is that it is highly contagious and easy to catch. It needs just a small contact with a drop of bodily fluids from an infected person, from days before to up to three weeks after showing symptoms.
That's a HUGE time frame for being contagious for a virus.
Then I am hoping they can decontaminate it all successfully.
Three nurses as well, who have already died.
You are not alone.
Nah - it’s an odd thing about these types of viruses.
They are really hard to catch. But once they latch on to a human host, they get nasty, really fast.
No idea - no one does really. Is it they get habituated to humans while breeding and set up a preference? Seems most likely, but no one has really bothered studying it. In theory, it would be an interesting study. In practice - well most people would call it a war crime. So would I.
It might save lives in the long run - but could you look at yourself in the mirror every morning? People are far better and kinder than you see on the media.
Here we show ZEBOV [Zaire-EBOV] transmission from pigs to cynomolgus macaques without direct contact...Piglets inoculated oro-nasally with ZEBOV were transferred to the room housing macaques in an open inaccessible cage system. All macaques became infected...While primates develop systemic infection associated with immune dysregulation resulting in severe hemorrhagic fever, the EBOV [Ebola virus] infection in swine affects mainly respiratory tract, implicating a potential for airborne transmission of ZEBOV2, 6. Contact exposure is considered to be the most important route of infection with EBOV in primates7, although there are reports suggesting or suspecting aerosol transmission of EBOV from NHP to NHP8, 9, 10, or in humans based on epidemiological observations
I have no medical work experience, by the way, but do have a little military experience common to many in prior combat training. Processes of avoiding contamination and of decontamination involve many detailed and perfectly executed steps, even for personnel in a hurry. Good chances of success require many repetitions in training and extreme discipline in order to avoid errors.
And I am fully confident .that one daY I will be 60 pounds lighter, 4 inches taller and a world famous ballerina. Both are as likely
Studies have been done in modern US operating rooms. The sterile field is breached exposing one of the personnel to body fluids at least 20% of the time.... Most undectected at the time. And thats when people are being careful. Miss once with Ebola and its out in the community. Sleep well.....
I think they have most of that stuff in Africa, or could send it there.... Decontamination of equipment is a problem but not the worst one - decontamination of people is what what worries me....
And we brought the nastiest bug in, to a place that has had recent documented breaches of safe handling of such things.
There are days when Art Bell and Alex Jones seem sane.

Yes,we have equipment, training, and procedures to stop contamination 100% of the time. BUT it takes top tier personnel to accomplish this level of performance.
For anyone that has ever worked with a large group of trained specialists, it is common knowledge that there is a bell curve of performance. Some are perfect, some totally inept, and most somewhere in the middle. Unavoidable anytime humans are involved.
An interesting side note is the first appearance of the West Nile virus in the western hemisphere. It occurred less than a mile from one of those super secure biological research labs in NY.
Here’s something else to think about. When this strain infects pigs it resides in their lungs, making transmission airborne. If it get’s to the US and gets into the feral pig population it will be rapidly spread and persistent in the wild. It has already been tested to pass from pigs to monkeys in separate confines. Ergo, in pigs it’s airborne and easily transmitted to primates.
