Fears of a global Ebola outbreak spread yesterday as French officials sealed off a building with 60 people inside, an Australian nurse was tested for the disease and airplane cleaners went on strike in New York.
In France, police imposed a lock-down on a social services centre in a town near Paris after four people who arrived from Guinea this month fell ill with headaches and fever.
Officials in Cergy Pontoise, northwest of the capital, later said that the fears that the four were suffering from Ebola were a false alarm and the nearly 60 others inside were allowed to leave.
But the drastic reaction of the authorities in France, which has not reported any cases of Ebola, indicated the scale of concerns gripping officials across several continents.

This whole thing can be solved by quarantining flights from those countries with indigenous Ebola victims.
I posted this at another FR site: Another very disturbing development. Since the big drug companies and the medical establishment don’t have a cure, and it will take months to develop the experimental drugs and vaccines, then common sense says they should immediately try something simple, cheap and readily available. That would be high dosage Vitamin C. Ebola wipes out Vitamin C stores in the patient’s body immediately and they then die from symptoms like rampant scurvy. Dr Frederick Klenner many years ago tried high doses of IV and oral Vitamin C with considerable success on virus diseases and toxic poisoning by snakes and spiders. To learn more Google his name and also “Vitamin C treatment for Ebola.” Pass this on to everyone you know or has some authority to try this out. Even if it doesn’t work, there is virtually no danger of overdose with Vitamin C.
I sent more detailed info to my son who is in Special Forces and he plans to go right out and buy several bottles in case it comes here or he gets suddenly deployed. He is also sending this to as many people as possible.
We FReepers need to pitch in and get a SHIP, and we’ll name it the FREEP. Perhaps heading out to sea will be the only safe place to be if Ebola spreads like wildfire.

Update:..Spanish Nurse.
Her condition is now very very critical she is on a ventilator and has organ failure, her family have been informed and are to the hospital , not that they can see her or be near her but they are there.
She had treated two Priests who were brought from Africa to her hospital....who later died from Ebola.
How high a dose?
Just tragic all around. I have no problems with medical persons going to help...but these people take risks...and should know that the possibility of death is their choice. They should not be allowed into the general public after caring for someone with a disease like Ebola.
good news
While the Spain Situation is serious, (the nurse is declining fast, and her organs are beginning to shut down.), the one to watch is whatever is going on in MACEDONIA....
No names, just “UK citizens”, one already dead of “Ebola-like symptoms”, and another sick.
If it gets into “the Wild” in that part of the world, we are so screwed.
Every thing will be OK if:
Humans don’t make any mistakes.
The Governments involved do the right thing instead of the wrong thing.
People don’t panic.
Nothing makes situations like this worse than the press looking for clicks.
Panic! Panic how? Is running around screaming going to stop Ebola. I think people will just stay home.
FYROM is the wild. It is too late.
I could envision 190 countries shutting down flights to western Africa, but Obama being the lone holdout to continue them.
He wants to destroy the USA and has contempt for hard-working Americans. No exaggeration.
That would make for and interesting movie. You could have rich people crashing their helicopters alongside the ship like the Vietnamese did when we pulled out of Vietnam. It was called Operation Frequent Wind
Boy O Boy. Look here what I came across while looking for the picture below. I was in Da Nang (civilian) when LBJ came to Cam Ran Bay.
I’m not surprised at this, given the near 70% fatality rate of diagnosed Ebola victims....
Is it not obvious that there should be no flights or trains or buses or cars allowed to enter any other country from the countries and adjoining countries to those are the epitcenter of the ebola epidemic? With an incubation period of 21 days, the idea that screening for fever and active disease sounds ludicrous. People who can afford to flee are doing that, including large numbers crossing borders. In countries where telling lies to authorities is the cultural norm, who can possibly rely on what answers someone fleeing provides on an airport survey?
