Nina Pham, one of the two nurses who contracted Ebola in Dallas, is expected to be moved to a National Institutes of Health isolation unit in Bethesda, Maryland, a federal official with direct knowledge of the plans told NBC News on Thursday.
The transfer could happen later Thursday, but the official cautioned that plans were evolving. Pham, 26, was diagnosed with the virus on Sunday after treating Thomas Eric Duncan, who contracted Ebola in Liberia, flew to Dallas and later died.
The other nurse who contracted Ebola in Dallas, Amber Vinson, was flown on Wednesday to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. The Emory and NIH units are two of the four facilities in the United States that are specially equipped to handle Ebola.
“Might be time to move to a very, very remote part of the country … totally off the grid.”
Yeah, just don’t be downwind from a nuke plant (any of the 400 that we have). You see, the pumps that circulate the water for cooling the fuel rods is powered from the grid (and why the fook not from the plant also, or at least at the flip of a switch, I’ll never understand). If the grid goes down because nobody shows up to work because they don’t want to get Obola, then there are 1 to 2 weeks of diesel fuel to run the generators. After that, it is 400 x Fukashima in this country.
Today’s good news sponsored by the Obola Administration - “Who really wants to be old, anyway?”
NO PLAN.
Boy what a Republican campaign dream. No one in this administration has the credentials to do their job. If Romney had torn the administration apart during his campaign do you realize how easy it would be for the next candidate to come up with a list of people who ARE able to do the job? Not having a psychology major as senior adviser would be first on the list.
The only steps taken by this administration have been those by Saul Alinski. This is why our enemies are armed and why plagues are aided not abetted. This is why our Marines and the National Guard are going to Liberia.
“The Hospitals are finished. People will be going to every hospital with flu like symptoms not knowing if they have Ebola. We will need to develop community based support structures.”
I agree. Let’s set one up at the Capitol, and the other at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Pretty much confirmed Nina Pham’s transfer reason.
I Posted on Ebola surveillance thread:
Just heard on Washington DC ABC radio affiliate:
Nina Pham moved to NIH Bethesda, Maryland due to “staffing problems” in Texas.

Moving her is a good idea. I imagine this hospital in Dallas will go under if something isn’t done ASAP. This place in Maryland is a Biocontainment unit.
“Imagine if the nurses unions call for a nationwide strike.”
I hope that they do - it’ll actually wake people the fook up that this is (at best) being massively screwed up by Obama and the CDC for purely political motives, and force some more effective measures to be taken (starting with stopping ALL civilian flights into or out of West Africa and Uganda - now suffering a Marburg outbreak).
“The Rats as always and so typical of them blaming the Repubs for this because of budget cuts , but yet ? Pres Obola’s Ebola zhar was caught funneling the money set aside to fight this Ebola crises to Demcrat champaign donnors.”
Fer crying out loud, the fooking CDC was subsidizing the Chinese Health Ministry’s study of Chinese prostitutes...as if China isn’t already floating on an ocean of (our) money. I hope that one gets taken and shoves up their arses.
Correction to Item #1 - when Vinson was moved to ATLANTA.
They’ll treat them with a flamethrower
Agreed. Right now I vote for idiot. Raving, narcissistic, fucktarded idiot, and one who is by design surrounded by a bunch of syncophants who won’t tell the idiot any bad news.
Totally an in your face go to hell we won we’re in control process.
“Nina Pham moved to NIH Bethesda, Maryland due to “staffing problems” in Texas.”
If true, then a very good idea.
Of course, that doesn’t say much for Dallas Presby, and cannot give much hope to the local community - what if grandma gets pneumonia or grandpa has a heart attack? Taking nearly 1000 beds out of service isn’t going to help anyone very much.
The CDC ought to order the entire hospital surrounded by several layers of plastic, and then bomb it with a bunch of biocidal agents, similar to what was done in Reston, VA (described in “The Hot Zone”) to definitively kill Ebola Reston at that facility. This is, IMHO, the only thing that will ease people’s minds about Dallas Presby.
A bit of a fly in the soup here is that a bunch of Ebola-laden vomit and poop was flushed into the Dallas sewers. If some from Duncan survived (and I’m praying that more from Nina Pham wasn’t added), then the rats may well have it. I don’t know if rats succumb to Ebola Zaire like us, but being mammals they would likely be carriers...and you simply can’t kill all of the rats. So, IF that is the case, THANKS A F’ING LOAD, pRESIDENT OBOLA, FOR CREATING A NATURAL RESERVIOR OF THIS DISEASE IN OUR NATION...YOU INCOMPETENT DOUCHEBAG, YOU DROOLING IDIOT, YOU PUSTULE ON THE WORLD’S ARSE!
What difference does it make what we call it or them? It is intentionally destructive to the United States.
Obola is the anti-chirst. He was elected by fools who wanted him to save them and he has used his position to be the self-proclaimed leader of the world and not the United States. Not only does he not believe in US exceptionalism he does no even see the US as legitimate. Any appearance of the recognition of the US by him is deception.
I rest my case, he is the anti-christ.... the devil.
“Totally an in your face go to hell we won we’re in control process.”
Yes, aren’t narcissistic Leftards wonderful? Maybe the jackasses of this country will finally realize that you have to elect ADULTS to run things, not the “cool guy” who makes a speech that validates all of your neurotic behaviors. Uh, yeah, I know...it’ll never happen.
“I rest my case, he is the anti-christ.... the devil.”
I don’t know about that (not that I’m kindly disposed toward him or his ilk, mind you, but I just don’t know).
However, I’ll approach this the same way as I approach the issue of him being Moslem: Let’s assume for the sake of argument that he’s not; then the only question is “If he was, what would he do differently?” If, like the Moslem question, the answer is “probably nothing,” then effectively he might as well be.
So, right or wrong, you might as well be right for all of the good that it does us. As such, the only sane and moral thing to do is to reduce his power as much as possible - which, right now, means taking the Senate away from the Dems. This means overlooking the (multitude of) imperfections of the various Republicans/RINOs running for office or in office, and voting for more of them because they are at least the lesser evil. Just my opinion.
Logically well stated and mature in approach. I just hate him and have no good wishes for him.
There are two graves I will take the opportunity to piss upon if I live long enough and get the chance. I may even go out of my way to do it. Not very logical or mature but I believe I might find it satisfying “relief”.
One is that of a former co-worker, the other is obola’s.
There is only one other act that could better express my disdain.
Well, there is that. :-/
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
How? Vinson is black and was immediately shipped out.
Supposedly, bleach kills it. So, between that chemical susceptibility and survivability duration, probably sewage is not too much a problem. If the hospital could all be bleached and let alone for a week, it would probably be pretty good.
