The True Story of Ebola in Reston, Virginia
Canada Free Press ^ | 08/04/14 | Ileana Johnson

Posted on 08/04/2014 1:37:01 PM PDT by Sean_Anthony

In October 1989 people in the community of Reston, Virginia went about their daily lives not realizing that a serious crisis was developing right in their back yards that would not be entirely resolved until March 1990. It was a serious calamity that could have wiped out the entire population. This dire emergency was described twenty years ago by Richard Preston in his non-fiction book, “The Hot Zone.” The “hot zone” refers to an “area that contains lethal, infectious organisms” also dubbed “hot agent,” an “extremely lethal virus, potentially airborne.” (Richard Preston, The Hot Zone, Random House, New York, 1994, p. 296)

The Ebola Reston virus jumped quickly from room to room... Ebola apparently drifted through the building's air-handling ducts

What is your problem?

Scumsucking bloggers using FR as a hit farm.

Post more, complain less

No.

I've been on many threads that sourced CFP, and I don't ever remember reading about crack-smoking, or kid-raping.

By gum, he wrote something designed to appeal to you.

I don't think the poster wrote the article. IIRC, the author was a woman.

Lets all throw a few coins at him, because he sent traffic to his blog.

I don't want rampant pimp blogging on FR any more than you do. However, many blogs have articles worth reading. So do various news media.

Besides, you have no proof that the original poster is financially associated with CFP, do you ?

Every 'article link' here on FR sends traffic to a blog or MSM website. Is it just this particular blog that is bothering you ?

I have experience in hospitals that are qualified to treat radiologically contaminated patients from nuclear facilities.

Without exception, these facilities have an isolated “carport” area established to receive the ambulance, and a short distance into a room with contamination controls and ability to decontaminate surfaces. You think Federal funding could have matched what podunk mid-level hospitals have been able to cobble together.

As was seen in this picture, walking across 30 yards of gravel from ambulance to treatment is hardly the way to contain, control, minimize, or later decontaminate any viral “contamination” that could be present on ambulance riders.

God help us all, this is sure to spread due to poorly planned or implemented contamination control.

At least you’re consistent in your refusal to make a positive contribution to the community.

He never posts from anywhere else.

You figure that's just a coincidence?

I think humblegunner is apoplectic because his thunder has been stolen; HE wants to be the one posting stuff from CFP and keeps getting pre-empted.

Simple.

Pimps should post the whole thing here instead of directing traffic to disease-laden blogs.

Could be he’s behind one hell of a firewall and CFP and FR are the only two sites he can access.

In that event, I think you should report to the MHMR office nearest your location.

From the information I have read, these two doctors were using biohazard suits and still got the infection.

If it can’t keep it out, how can it keep it in ?

Probably not. I've seen no evidence that he can put three words together.

He just pimps other people's stuff.. maybe a Canada-Buck per post.

Marketing Director, they call him.

Note that we don't see him taking part in this discussion.

He isn't paid for that.
