I have spent a little time compiling links to threads about the Ebola outbreak in the interest of having all the links in one thread for future reference.
Please add links to new threads and articles of interest as the situation develops.
Thank You all for you participation.
That won't happen here until the staff are dead, dying, or have fled (likely taking the virus with them).
Covenantor,
Do you mean September and not October?
Patient 0 was released from the ER on the 26th with a prescription for an antibiotic. Hence, Pt. 0 went to a pharmacy to have it filled. No one is mentioning that aspect, but reluctantly mentioning that the ambulance and crew is isolated.
Things that make me go hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Thanks for catching that. I did indeed mean Sept and not Oct. Tired old eyes and Blackberry, very bad combo for posting.
You are assuming he went to the pharmacy.
We know the answer to that one...
They aren't releasing any data about who this is, or anything else. Makes me wonder if the patient wasn't on one of the State Department's other unadvertised flights and went off the reservation and all this is just a cover story for the retrieval.
This is the Case Zero Time line from the UK Daily Mail
September 19 - Man boards flight in Liberia
September 20 - Man lands in Dallas
September 24 - Man starts to develop symptoms
September 26 - Man goes to hospital but is sent home with antibiotics
September 28 - Man placed in isolation in Dallas hospital
September 30 - Man’s blood tests positive for Ebola
.
Another possible time line on Dallas Case Zero —

As you guys know, I have a radio show on the largest talk station in the country, WSB Atlanta. The CDC is based in Atlanta.
This evening, during break, an individual called the program claiming to work for the CDC and to have knowledge of the patient in Dallas, TX.
The source gave me information to lead me to establish credibility: name, occupation, background, etc. The source also gave me dates and travel information about the patient.
What makes the source seem legitimate is that the source provided accurate information including the patients arrival in the U.S. on September 20th and that the patient had come from a funeral in Liberia. The source provided all that information before those details had hit the wires and before the press conference.
The name of the source matches an individual at the CDC who would have this information.
You know as much about the source as I do, other than who the source purports to be.
Again, the source gave me information off the air and before it was publicly released that turned out to be accurate.
The source also gave me information that adds to the narrative. Taking my description of the source as presented, here are other details the source gave me.
The patient traveled from Liberia to the United States via Brussels and Dulles, VA, on to Dallas, TX.
The patient did not have symptoms when he arrived. But, and this is key and what did not come out at the press conference, the source tells me the patient actually did go to the hospital with symptoms on September 24, 2014. In fact, I assumed I was confused because the press conference said the 26th. I assumed I misheard the source. So I texted the source who called me back and, purported reading from the file, read that the patient arrived in Dallas, TX on the 20th of September, appeared in the emergency room with symptoms on September 24th. The patient was discharged with antibiotics and returned again days later with watery diarrhea and other symptoms, tested for both malaria and Ebola, and put in isolation on the 28th.
You know all I can tell you about the source. Perhaps the source is not legit, is pulling a prank, and was just lucky. But when the source called me back to confirm the dates, the source is insistent the patient first went to the emergency room on the 24th, the patient was discharged, and four days later on the 28th returned and was admitted and put in isolation.
Now, assume the source is just making it all up and is not legitimate. A few questions are still in the air:
From September 26th to 28th, where was the patient, if the timeline presented in the press conference was true.
From September 20th to September 24th or 26th, where was the patient?
There are a lot of unknown answers and the CDC will, I hope, err on the side of giving us vastly more information than we need instead of less.
My guess is that whoever it is, they are a ‘somebody’ back home and came in on a State Dept. flight.
In addition to everything else, I hope that if Patient0 has a credit card, “they” have tracked all of his usage of it. That card is infected and so is every machine he used it in and anyone he handed it to. My opinion is that our highly civilized society is going to be much more conducive to the spread of the virus than W.A.
more and more and more incompetence by our “government”
why wouldn’t the CDC have alerted and educated EVERY health professional in the USA to quarantine ANYONE seeking treatment who just arrived from Liberia and is showing symptoms of “flu”?????????
Nigeria did a better job for their citizens
This is the local Dallas Texas Liberian community web page (below)
I don’t have time to search it today for late September 2014 community activities, but perhaps a fre freepers do/
See:
cheer up- maybe he used CASH and it is still out there spreading his DNA
And if he was writing checks, now we are talking about an infected “pen on a string” somewhere.......
Not to mention, where is his/her cellphone? Do we have a cellphone destruction policy in place?
