A patient placed in isolation at a Honolulu-area hospital Wednesday may be infected with the Ebola virus, officials told KHON-TV.
The Department of Health confirmed to the Hawaii outlet that the patient is currently undergoing a battery of tests, but has yet to be specifically tested for the deadly virus.
The officials declined to provide KHON with any details regarding symptoms and would not say whether or not the patient has been to West Africa recently.

There were some interesting projections made in this thread from September 15
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3204322/posts
They are not far off the mark
As of Sept. 28 ebola deaths reach 3,338 out of 7,178 cases in West Africa, but widely undercounted WHO says

Please...if you experience fever and start bleeding from your eyes, seek immediate counsel with your congresscritter.
A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.
Share it with your “representative” or senator.
Suspicion factor - MAXIMUM.
Cheaper to go through BRU than direct ROB to DFW.

Bring Out Your Dead
Were 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...
Hell, we’re the only country that allows them in.
Part of the overall plan to commit national suicide.
Walking Ebola bombs? Maybe these are ‘Pathfinders’ for a general bio-attack?
Waiting to hear if some poor slug working in the Hawaiian Office of Health Status Monitoring (their “Bureau of Vital Statistics” which maintains birth records) suddenly comes down with a fatal case of Ebola.
I would imagine he has the same type and quality of health insurance that the other 20 million illegals in this country have, NONE. Yet, we are criticized by their governments all the time. What we should do is charge their medical bills to their countries of origin. Perhaps we should have a five hundred percent tax on Western Union money transfers to Latin America as a way to get some of our money back.
I read Huffington Post and many there seem to reveling in that Texas being a red state is showing Republican incompetence and that Duncan would have probably been turned away because they (mistakenly) think we do not have universal healthcare.
Examples:
“He’s the very man that refuses to expand Medicaid under Obamacare and wants Big Government out of the lives of Texans. I guess the CDC doesn’t qualify in his mind as Big Government. Still think seceding from the Union is a good idea, Rick?”
“And when does Prophet RIck Perry go on Faux News and blame Obama here?”
“seems to me most tx tv are tuned to fox and fools and the 700 club, not real news stations. just had an evangelinut friend call me terrified about ebola, i told her i fear the christian wrong and the erethug retaking the senate, far more than i fear ebola.”
“Thank you Rick Perry for not expanding medicare. Now some of those who can’t afford insurance will try and avoid seeking help at the hospital. Good grief!”

Most of the people who live in Texas should be safe enough. They just need to buy more guns and stock up on ammunition and hide in their bunkers until at least the end of November when it should be safe to come out.......

These are some the comments of the their top commentators. Geez!
Yep, as I stated in a previous post on another thread, despite the CDC’s assurances that everything is under control, “Where there is one case, there is another, and another, and another...
The security on our borders and around our transportation hubs is focused on looking for non-existent threats from old ladies and children in wheel chairs while ignoring the genuine threat from millions of illegal aliens from third world countries and visa holders from the African continent to flow across our southern border and through our airports unimpeded. No screening, exams or scrutiny. Just let ‘em come on in and use tax payer dollars to distribute them throughout all 50 states. Security and welfare of the citizens be damned.

We are so screwed.
