NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) - A ship with three sick crewmen is scheduled to dock in New Orleans, the Center for Disease Control confirms.

CDC officials said they received word earlier today that a ship which had traveled near where the Ebola outbreak is will dock at the New Orleans port.

A CDC staff member, emergency workers and members of the U.S. Coast Guard will board the boat and transport one ill crewman to a local hospital for evaluation.

No word on which hospital the crewman will be transported to.

The CDC said they are taking extra precaution because of the Ebola risk, but that is thought to be “exceedingly low.”

“The vessel’s itinerary did include Matadi, DRC, in addition to other ports, but there is no evidence to suggest that the crew members traveled to, or had any contact with anyone from the remote inland region of DRC where Ebola cases are occurring.

Given this, the chance that the crew member could have Ebola is thought to be exceedingly low,” the CDC said.

We’re told two other crew members who reported mild illnesses will also be evaluated.

The CDC staff member assisting local health officials was already in New Orleans for training.

Here is another article that has some more information on the ship and where it is docked.

The second most corrupt agency in the Fed, next to the FDA.

If the CDC cared about the lives of Americans they would insist the crew stay on board UNTIL it’s known for sure it’s NOT ebola.

And if it IS Ebola, send a Virginia-class sub to sink that sucker to the bottom. To hell with the cargo, insurance will cover it. Make sure the infected people DO NOT reach the shores of this country.

The game of Ebola Roulette continues...

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

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...

“Three, even if they had Ebola, it can essentially be cured with minor medicines and Gatorade.”

Specific data regarding your proposed treatment of Ebola is requested.

Could you have confused Ebola with Cholera?

The Marine Phoenix is a refrigerated cargo ship. I wonder what the cargo is-——bananas, coffee, choccolate beans?

Our fact free news won’t address thatvthough.

I wonder what the cargo is

bushmeat, bats, and grasscutters

Seriously??????

You might actually want to do some real research instead of listening to propaganda unless propaganda is your job.

When did the ship last dock? If it was at sea for 3 months, then the odds are low. If it was 21 days or less, then we may have a serious problem.

[Ellendra]

Didn’t a lot of the people infected delay treatment because they thought it was malaria?

send the whitehouse witchdoctor....OUT... to meet them... on the high seas....

All such ships should be diverted to Guantanamo, and quarantined for the appropriate amount of time. And no quick test and release either.

Brantly’s first test was negative, it took 72 hours to get an accurate positive for the virus.

“WE’RE BEING SET UP, PEOPLE. How many do the NWO’ers want to wipe out.. how many millions of people?”

People have been warned for a long time now, but it looks like the “great delusion” has fallen upon the masses. Let us don our “spiritual armor” so that we may withstand the wiles of the devil in these last days.

The Full Armor of God

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

We need to start turning to God now. Let those who are not, get right with Him in your heart. Do not wait, because no one knows the moment of Jesus’ arrival. Only God knows. If we pray, and it is God’s Will, He will curtail this sickness from afflicting our nation.

TRUST God, and be protected. Trust man, and who knows.

...”There were posters here who were opposed to permitting two US citizens back into the US for treatment”....

Of course they were ....if for no other reason than there were better options then bringing them to the states. We have sea going field hospitals that could have easily accommodated them.

Both American Ebola victims walked out of their hospitals cured of Ebola and in the process of treating them, doctors learned more about curing Ebola.

I do not favor banning US citizens who have broken no laws from entering the US.
