CDC Suggests “Hermetically Sealed Caskets” For Ebola Victims – AKA “Fema Coffins”

Torch em.

They don’t need caskets.

[VerySadAmerican]

Lots of people laughed at those pictures of all those coffins. Could it be they’re real?

Wait till we find out that half the victims are gay.

Hermetically sealed and been kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall’s back porch since noon today. No one knows the contents except Obama and Carnac the Magnificent.

I pegged those FEMA coffins days ago.

I and significant other are within 10-12 miles of the next possible Ebola victim, a deputy sheriff. He lives in Frisco, Denton County, that is my county. He went to that apartment where the now deceased man was and delivered a document. I don't know who he gave that document to and whether or not he touched that person.

He went to a hospital around Frisco today and I don't know if he came to the one not far from us in our town, Lewisville Hospital. The doctors and nurses who were around him are now being watched.

The man was taken by ambulance to the same hospital in Dallas where the deceased man was. I saw, on TV, that ambulance pull into the hospital and totally garbed up medics get him out of the ambulance.

We now wait to see if he has Ebola. If he does, it's in our county as he was around people before he went to the hospital. Who are those people? Will they come to stores close to our house?

I hope he doesn't have Ebola. I'll let you know if he does.

dropped in a volcano would be a pretty awesome funeral !

Bring Out Your Dead

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...

Thanks Red Devil...that post made my day!

[Old Sarge]

Be careful for you and yours, Iron Lady!

[greeneyes]

Prayers up for you and Texas. This is so maddening to me. The hospitals here are making the same mistakes as were made in the early days in West Africa.

This is exactly how it spreads and gets out of control. People who have been exposed in amy manner must call someone to come to them - not go to the emergencey room.

Every county’s Health Dept. and disaster preparedness center should already have plans for this, and had it on the news.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

We should probably be building large quarantine camps. All people suspected of having contact with infected people would be required to go to the camps for the requisite 40 days (from Italian quarantine giorni, literally "space of forty days," from quaranta "forty," from Latin quadraginta. From the Venetian custom of keeping ships from plague-stricken countries waiting off its port for 40 days (first enforced 1377) to assure that no latent cases were aboard. The extended sense of "any period of forced isolation" is from 1670s.).

Letting people who have had contact with infected persons is just insane; that's how exponential infections take off.

Late response to an exponential growth is a total disaster. You can never catch up. If you're not a generation ahead of the disease, you're doomed.

[Shadowstrike]

I’m hoping and praying for you and yours sake that he doesn’t have it either Miss Marcella.

Just got the latest from Dallas TV channel. Got another look at the deputy sheriff when he got out of ambulance at hospital and he is a very overweight, older man. Remember he lives about 12 miles from my house. He woke up this morning feeling achy/tired and his stomach was hurting, so he went to a local clinic in a shopping center. He told them he had been in that apartment of the man who died, was inside about 30 min., serving a legal document to the family when the man was sick in the hospital.

This older, very overweight man could have eaten something that didn't agree with his stomach. His son said the dad did not have fever when he went to the clinic.

Hopefully, the man does not have Ebola. However, the clinic he went to is closed, it was being scrubbed down tonight, the doctors and nurses are staying alone until his Ebola test comes back in about two days. Another school, one of ours in Lewisville where I live, has been cleaned due to some kids, guess his grandkids he was around, go to that school and any friends he was around are waiting for the test results. The Superintendent of our Lewisville schools was on TV saying there is no reason to close schools. I think he was thinking, “not yet anyway” but didn't say that.

ONE PERSON IS TOO MANY WITH EBOLA. ONE PERSON CAN CAUSE THE DEATH OF EVERY PERSON IN A TOWN.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO TRACE EVERY PERSON HE TOUCHED AND DISINFECT EVERY DOOR KNOB HE TOUCHED OR EVERY ITEM HE TOUCHED IN A GROCERY STORE OR ANY OTHER PLACE WHERE HE WAS TOUCHING SOMETHING AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND EVERY PERSON WHO TOUCHED WHAT HE DID RIGHT AFTER HE TOUCHED IT.

Oh, yes, heard on local TV tonight, the body of Thomas Duncan who died of Ebola in Dallas, will be cremated and the ashes sealed up and buried.

Well, I hope he doesn't have it, but I think the CDC has been irresponsible by understating the danger - insisting that direct contact with the patient yada yada is needed.

That judge who went into the house unprotected, stated that the CDC had assured him that it was safe to do the transfer as he did.

I am glad that the county authorities in this case are seeming to treat it a bit more seriously. Remember that the 72 hr. test is the one that is definitive.

Dr. Brantly’s first test came back negative, but the one that took 72 hrs was positive. There's been lots of examples in the outbreak region where there were false negatives, and the people went home and continued to spread the disease, then came back to the hospital, because they got so much worse.

Quarantine should have happened with this guy when he went to the hospital the first time. From Liberia, with a fever, should have caused the triage nurse to immediately isolate him in a negative pressure room if possible, and no one else approach him without full protective gear.

Lock down the waiting room, and get ready to isolate and monitor those there.

Even after it was known that he had Ebola, people without protective gear were trapsing in and out of the apartment before it was sanitized. It’s just been a total screw up from the git go.

Quarantine used to mean no one in or out. Not well we make exceptions when we want to.

[Califreak]

At least we don’t reuse needles.

In the early days a hospital infected people in 50 villages by using the same needle.

All. Day.
