Hamburg – Ebola-Verdacht in Hamburg! Ein Mann (28) aus Freetown (Sierra Leone) soll das tödliche Virus nach Deutschland gebracht haben.
Der Mann soll am 7. August über Paris in die Hansestadt gelangt sein. Von da an war er in einem Wohnheim in Hamburg-Hummelsbüttel untergebracht.
Am Samstag klagte der Mann dann gegen 14 Uhr über Fieber und Erbrechen. Mit einem Rettungswagen wurde er in das Klinikum Heidberg gebracht. Dort kam er in die Notaufnahme. Zunächst blieb unklar, ob der Mann mit Ebola-Patienten in Kontakt gekommen war. Deshalb wurde er in einen Isolierraum verlegt.

Hamburg - Ebola suspected in Hamburg! A man (28) from Freetown (Sierra Leone)
said to have brought the deadly virus to Germany.
The man should be reached on August 7 over Paris in the Hanseatic city.
From then on he was staying in a hostel in Hamburg-Hummelsbüttel.
On Saturday, the man complained then against 14 clock, fever and vomiting.
With an ambulance he was taken to the hospital Heidberg. There he came to
the emergency room. When asked whether he had come with Ebola patients in contact,
he was initially no response. Then he was transferred to a isolation room. to 22 clock the

University Hospital Eppendorf (UKE). The car was accompanied during the journey of more
than six police patrol car. Currently block police from the house on the grounds at

Shoot to kill, that’s brilliant...take a virus that hides out in every bodily fluid and spray a whole bunch of fluid and tissue around!
Killing someone to prevent them spreading it is frankly perfectly logical and sensible, but the bloodiest method possible is not.
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 police are charged with enforcing an Ebola quarantine line, they are unlikely to wrestle a combative patient to the ground and handcuff them.
How do you suppose Patrick Sawyer really died after fighting with the terrified hospital staff in Lagos? Quite possibly the on-duty security guard shot him.
BTW, Eight of the hospital staff who dealt with Patrick Sawyer have contracted Ebola, two have died. One of the ground crew who helped Mr. Sawyer off the plane has also died from Ebola.
Yes - I expect that police guarding Ebola quarantine patients will have shoot-to-kill orders in the event that the patient forcibly attempts to leave.
Aye, if it has to be done, it has to be done. The problem I’m bringing up is that the solution is going to be nearly as bad, due to the force of the impact spraying bodily fluids everywhere, and the bleeding out.
