Ebola hits EUROPE as patient enters hospital(Sweden) vomiting blood, although other diseases have not yet been ruled out.
There have been 298 dead in the Democratic Republic of Congo from Ebola, although malaria continues to be a health issue there as well.
Ebola is feared to have hit Europe after an isolation unit was set up in Sweden following a patient vomiting blood.
The patient entered into hospital at Enkoping before being transferred to Uppsala, to their infection clinic.

The patient is being treated in Uppsala, Sweden, where trained staff are prepared and caring for the patient and are using protective clothing and have special ebola training.
The patient is believed to have visited Burundi in central Africa before returning home.

The latest outbreak to hit the Democratic Republic of Congo in August last year has killed more than 368 people.
Ebola's current outbreak got so bad the World Health Organisation considered declaring a global alert.

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...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Sweden, the first national suicide by political correctness.

The title or the article is exactly as presented in the DailyStar.co.uk.
Although, I believe the title to be needlessly alarming !

They’ve isolated this guy and some of his relatives...

Under fredagsmorgonen kom mannen in på akuten vid lasarettet i Enköping. Han hade blodiga kräkningar och blodig avföring.

...glad we cleared that up

Bleeding outta both ends.
I hate when that happens.

Ebola is transmitted to health care workers during the terminal phase of the disease by unprotected contact with body fluids, especially sweat, wound drainage, blood, and feces which are produced in unprecedented amounts.

The Emory team was replacing forty liters a day in their survivors.

It does not appear that importation of cases is a threat to the public (other than to their wallets, saving the life of one Ebola patient is literally a multi-million dollar operation). Ebola is very dangerous to doctors and nurses, though, in all outbreaks since the 70s between 1/3 and 1/2 of the dead are health care workers.

No HCWs have died under US care, however, and there have only been two secondary cases (in a hospital in Dallas which was, unwisely, following the August-October 2014 CDC guidance instead of using body suits and respirators).

No member of the public in Spain, the UK, NYC, Dallas, or Omaha has contracted Ebola from a patient in transit.

Don’t pass around dead bodies overhead without gloves, and you should be good to go.

Whether or not to allow non-citizen cases into the system in the US is a major policy issue (cost and sanitation), but we more or less know what to do if/when they get here.

“So far the false positive rate is 100%.”

Here’s to your continued success.

If they don't respect our borders, why would you expect them to respect our National Parks, or us?

Excellent null...

So my nordic forbearers have not degenerated into total and utter incompetence, yet. It's just their ruling class, like here and the other countries in the world (e.g. France) whose citizens are trying to fight off NWOitis, the deadliest disease ever to infect human kind. It starts by rotting the brains of those who should have known better (e.g patient zero GHWB). The development of this disease closely follows the pathways of its cousin, rabies, leaving the sufferer drooling, foaming at the mouth, and calling for the abolition of all normal protections and defenses such as calling for open borders and eliminating law enforcement activities against invasive pathogens while savagely and brutally attacking healthy individuals and organizations.

On the other hand, you might get to meet a pretty nurse - if you can even see her in her bio-hazard suit.

Just ask Kaci Hickox.

How many trains, planes and automobiles did he travel on and potentially pass along the virus? How many restrooms did he use and someone came along behind him to use the toilet? How many hotels did he stay at and get body fluids on the sheets for the maids and the next guests? How many times did he eat and leave his dishes for the busboy to clean up? How about his family and where he works in Sweden?

The article states that WHO considered a global alert. Well, yeah.

[bgill]

I’ll carry an “I’m not a medical care worker” card in my wallet and will never die of Ebola.
