Ohio pings..!
Heavily trained Doctors in SPACE SUITS get it, but there us very little chance of it spreading in the USA, huh.....
Riiiiiight.
So far, that has been the case. To the best of my knowledge, confirmed cases have so far been restricted to Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, and Nigeria.
Suspected, but unconfirmed cases have appeared in the US, UK, Morocco, the Philippines, and possibly Hong Kong.
Fecal matter is going to hit the rotary blades when we get the first non-African confirmation. And the “authorities” know that. That's why they will attempt to obfuscate for as long as possible - even if that means that it will give the disease a greater opportunity to spread.
No one will want to be the first. We'll see how long they can hold out.
The next two weeks will be interesting.
The Last Ship
At least there’s a minimal degree of control over people who arrive legally, since they mostly have passports with visa stamps that show where they come from and where they have been. OTOH illegals swarming in across the southern border don’t even have ghat minimal documentation. An Ebola carrier coming in there will spread it far and wide before he is caught.
Ping to null and void and kartographer. Columbus OH (Home of Ohio State Univ).
Yet another possible arrival on our soil.
How many people will one infectious person in the jungles of Africa actually come in contact with? Compare that with the number of people an infectious person would come in contact with in a crowded apartment building in the Bronx.
I remember somewhere reading that firemen have to learn to "think like the fire". Well, I think we have to start thinking like a virus.
Those who think it won't spread in America because of our superior health care system aren't "thinking like a virus." The Ebola virus, specifically.

So now you know why these guinea pigs were brought to the USA. They'll dissect the hell out of those two if they don't make it.
Google Larry Zeitlin. It's a Med article. She is connected....and they're all getting bucks.
It may be that if they do make it, they're looking for a vaccine.
News just broke in to update that the Ebola test is NEGATIVE in Columbus
What concerns me is the disposal of human waste from these “isolated” patients. How do they destroy or disinfect their bodily fluids/excrement?
Putting a mask on doesn’t seem like a total solution for tears, nasal fluid, phlegm, urine, sweat, vomit, bowel movements, menstruation etc.,
Devil’s Advocate time.
When I was young the news headlines were flooded by breathless coverage of Toxic Shock Syndrome.
Which led a girl I was dating at the time to prevail upon me to rush her to the ER as she was certain she had it and was about to die.
Turned out she caught the flu at the wrong time of the month.
Probably more than a bit of that going on now with Ebola. Particularly if you’ve been to Africa lately.
I know faculty and graduates from the Emory Med schools and I also know many employees of the CDC.
The one thing they all have is weapons’ grade confidence - in themselves.
Their self-assured statements about containment make total sense to me when you view it in regards to their outlandish hubris.
If they make a stupid mistake and kill off 75% of Atlanta then I will not be the least bit surprised.
That whole, “if I suspect I have it I would rather lock myself in a containment room and die alone” stuff you see in the movies would never occur to most of these radical liberals.
The crisis that justifies martial law and postponing elections?
Ping...
Knowing how many people were tested for it is rather useless. I wish the media would hold off unless there is an actual positive test.
