Full title: Alarming Claims Made by ‘Stepdaughter’ of Dallas Ebola Patient Likely Won’t Help Restore Confidence in CDC’s Handling of Case

[Delta Dawn]

Step-daddy?

[TigerClaws]

Rush nailed it today. PC putting is all in jeopardy. Anyone objecting to the mass infection of Americans is a racist, xenophobe.

The game of Ebola Roulette continues...

*click* spin *click* spin *click* spin…BANG!

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

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...

She heard about it on the news..funny thing..so did Obama..seems to be a common practice

[easternsky]

The reason they did not contact her are give instructions, is because all the people working and leading these positions are inept, and should not be in these positions. They have a easy job and rake in the bucks and retirement and perks. Look at all the other high positions from VA on down, its a waste of money plus they are not up to the job. What total mess we are in.

The CDC...

[JimSEA]

What they don’t think a potential Ebola victim is worth talking to? Incompetence to the n th degree.

[doc1019]

The more I read about Ebola, the more the TV movie series “The Stand” comes to mind.

[blueplum]

Considering the disease that got by the CDC/HHS at the southern border, is it any wonder they have been completely and utterly behind the curve on how to deal with an influx of ebola medical refugees? SNAFU would be an understatement to describe the current civil service culture, paralyzed by PC policies into a nonresponsive blob of ninnies.

Don’t worry little girl, Uncle Obammy got it handled.

[Hugin]

On the one hand the government says our healthcare system is prepared to “stop ebola cold”.

OTOH, a nurses association reports 80% of their members report receiving no special instructions from the hospitals they work at regarding handling possible ebola cases.

Who to believe?

[Organic Panic]

I am going to make an alarming claim tgat every potentiall infected African who can afford it is buying a plane ticket to the USA. The screening doesn’t work. Monrovia will shut down their airports before Obama makes a non PC call.

Ping…

A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread

[MacMattico]

I've already been “told” by a Facebook “friend” Ebola would have never reached the US if not for Republican cutbacks to the CDC!

In other developments, The Walking Dead starts up again on Sunday the 12th and the season finale of The Strain is this Sunday.

The problem is at the heart of the HHS or higher.

CDC is responsible for quarantine of persons traveling between states or into the country.

DHS didn’t seem to have any problems coordinating the travel of thousands of illegal immigrants throughout the country in May. They received them, sorted them, transported them, and even provided them documentation to become employed.

CDC obviously failed to recognize the symptoms of Duncan as he arrived at Dulles and proceeded to Dallas.

Once in the states, the authority to quarantine lies with the State. CDC still works with local authorities in quarantine efforts, but primary authority is with the State.

CDC has 3 Quarantine Stations in Texas, including the Dallas Quarantine Station, which has 3 Districts. Each District covers 9-41 cities/local areas.

These organizations should be tooled up to handle and administer organized control of health threats. They have had authority by Executive Order since 1983 to control viral hemorrhagic fever.

How the quarantine is implemented is generally left up to the local authorities/States.

It is obvious in Dallas that no real plan of action is being fully implemented, nor has been prepared, nor issued for quarantine, of possible pandemic causing influenzas or viral hemorrhagic fever, even though they had been identified since 1983.

Is this another sign of just how inept and incapable our society is becoming, thanks to liberals who don’t think anyone is able to act on one’s own initiative (and keep training people to be helpless)?

If you think you have been exposed to a dangerous disease, you don’t sit around waiting for someone to call you, and then complain to CNN that no one called. Are health officials supposed to be psychic and know without being told who might have been exposed? No. You get on the phone and call your local health department, your doctor, or whoever else might be in a position to advise you. You also don’t have to wait for someone to tell you to disinfect your apartment—you probably already have bleach in the house, just mix a cup of bleach and some detergent in a gallon of water and get to cleaning!

This does not sound like a case of CDC or anyone else falling down on the job. This is a case of someone being taught utter helplessness by those who care more about votes than anyone’s well-being.

“No one called me.”

More proof positive that it’s every Wo/man for themselves these days. Mother Government would rather you be a statistic, swept under the rug with the assistance of the ENEMY MEDIA, no matter WHAT the situation.
