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.

Kýrie, eléison.
when Ebola patients vomit, it’s filled with the virus
one drop of infected blood on your skin is enough to infect and has a very high probability to kill
not quarantining those countries is beyond stupid
towns better start drawing up plans to self quarantine and keep people out

That would be highly politically incorrect.
As members of a One World government we’re in this misery together, leaving no one behind, sharing in its blessings.
The article doesn’t seem to confirm that it’s Ebola.
ping.
Would the authorities ever admit to a positive diagnosis? Do the police have shoot-to-kill orders if the patient should attempt to leave quarantine?
We will be able to tell in two weeks. If the patient is still alive by then he is probably free of the disease. Presumably there will be a cheery follow-up announcement.
And if there is only silence - that will tell us something too.
The headline should read Ebola Suspected in Hamburg. That’s the correct translation.
Ping... (Thanks, Jet!)
On the plus side, when Germans get biological fear, they react forcefully. I spoke with an old German dermatologist who remembered the last time Germany had a trichinosis outbreak, in the 1950s. He said it was like returning to Nazi days, as anyone who sold meat might get a 2am wake up call by inspectors, who would inspect every bit of meat, including canned meat, by opening it, in his store.
Another in Toronto, waiting on test results.
A positive and death in Morocco.
Where else? I saw something about South Africa as a possible but nothing new since then.
Ever flown Lufthansa?
The same way the zombie virus spread.
Someone here the other day pointed out the left, once again, is blaming George Bush by saying that Bushmeat is to blame. Heh.

Having lived off and on in Germany for twenty years, I can attest to three certain characteristics of society in an episode like this. First, when the authorities make a policy of a harsh or fairly different manner...it’s the “law” at that point and ninety-nine percent of society accept. Kinda like the episode where all plastic bottles and soda cans had a deposit put on them, and you had to return them to get your value back. Second, respect for cops still exists here today....so if they say you are going to quarantine, you pack a bag and prepare yourself. Third, the general German public attitude is that German medical facilities are the best in the world, and you will get the absolute best treatment. It may be a bogus attitude, but everyone tends to believe it.
I’ve never flown Lufthansa, but I did fly Luftwaffe five times.
I did fly Lufthansa (twice) and it was an interesting experience. They counted in minutes how timely their takeoff and landing was on both flights. Aloud as they strolled through the aisle.
My grandparents were from Germany as well. Dinner was at 6pm. Not 6:01 pm or 5:58 pm.
I can also add that I have never been in a Luftwaffe plane when it landed.
