A woman who has been confined to her Dallas apartment under armed guard after a man infected with Ebola stayed at her home said she never imagined this could happen to her so far from disease-ravaged West Africa.
Louise Troh said Thursday that she is tired of being locked up and wants health authorities to decontaminate her home.

It seems to be a 3rd world kind of mentality. Like I said in a brief post yesterday. here are work there are some from other countries and they have different habits. They don’t take medicine, won’t go to doctors until they are really sick and come in to work and spread their germs around. They are afriad of hospitals because (I was told) you only go there to die (in their country). They don’t cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze. Trying to keep from getting sick during the winter for me is always a challenge as they spread it everywhere. If you read The Hot Zone - the best way to prevent the spread of infection there was a forced quaranntine and a change in African burial practices. Not fun but it did work to a degree, and then the infection would gradually slow and burn itself out.
They had white slaves too. There is someone here on FR who wrote about his g.g.g.grandmother who was captured by Indians as a child and was enslaved.
“Ebola Family”? say, that sounds like a swell idea for a tv show!
Good Lord! Was that ever a stupid comment you just made as you KNOW darn well what I meant. Deadly communicable diseases have been around a long time. NOTHING NEW HERE. Google it. People used to die from diabetes. But you knew that too. People used to die of many formerly "incurable" diseases.
My mother had non-smoking lung cancer at 55 years old. It was TERMINAL. Her lung cancer was, they said, the kind that ANY human could get, regardless of race, life-style, ethnic origin or age.
She went in for a STANDARD health exam and a sharp eyed TECHNICIAN in x-ray spotted it in the extremely early stages. 20% of the lower right lobe of her lungs was taken out. She just passed last year, at ALMOST 95 years old. Her heart had just stopped.
By the way: everything IS better with butter.
Also, can your typical waste treatment facility handle contamination's like this one? Apparently yes but I have always wondered. However, the infected waste has to travel a long distance before it gets to the treatment plant. That might be miles and miles of sewer. Anyway, we seem to do okay.
I realize that the woman may not even be infected. And then, the likelihood of her spreading is very small. But the risk is there.
What makes this infection more serious is that it is a virus and is not treatable like a bacterial infection (with antibiotics).
Of course that had to have happened. The Indians probably appreciated the NON-black hair, brown eyes and brown skin.
They might have even mated with such, doncha think?
So, someone here on FR is 1/800000 th American Indian.
Tell him/her to HEAD FOR THE NEAREST FEDERAL OFFICES FOR THEIR GIVE-AWAYS!! :o)
It was in 2009. The ACLU was in on it, of course.
Done.
Chances are there is not a green card in the apt. Most of the 10,000 Liberians living in Dallas are illegal. Ain’t America great?
We saw a show on the doctor they brought back and "cured". Among other things, all of his 'waste' had to be treated before it was released into the sewer system.
So we can now safely assume that the Dallas wastewater plant nearby has been compromised as well?
BOSS, COWORKERS OF US EBOLA PATIENT: HE KNEW HE HAD EBOLA, US TRIP WAS ‘DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO SURVIVE’

“Again, it IS a risk.”
Well, it was, before they put an armed guard on watch. I don’t think it’s much of a risk now.
Ya.
Life and living is a risk. :)
We have it pretty good here in the States, though. An old friend, an Indian, caught typhoid while back in India visiting relatives. Those nasty diseases are out there. Outside of our borders.
I don’t get your point at all. Diabetes is not contagious. Cancer is not contagious. And the way to eradicate deadly contagious diseases is to isolate them until you can find a cure. The more this stuff spreads the more it mutates and then you have so many strains of it that you’re never going to come up with an immunization for it. It is CRITICAL that we stop the spread of this - not just poo-pooh it as if it’s just one of those things you have to live with like diabetes. Having people come into this country to create a breeding ground for mutations here is a NIGHTMARE, and must be stopped. Period.
If your point is that we can cure ebola, I say sure; go for it. But it’s going to be a hopeless venture if we give it free rein to mutate in ways it had never been able to in Africa because the people there were smart enough to know how to isolate it - and had the will to do it, unbound by political correctness. Get the disease in a place where they pansy around instead of taking it seriously, and this disease will NEVER be cured. And that seems to be exactly what Obama and Holder are up to - almost as if they INTEND for large numbers of people to die and the disease to mutate beyond any hope of ever being cured. This stupid mentality will leave a wake of death and destruction that circles the globe.
I think people in Africa have the advantage over us because they’ve been dealing with this up close and personal for decades. They know what it is what it can do and will take measures to contain it.
I know we have better healthcare here but let’s face it
Most Americans are probably very ignorant as to how threatening ebola is.
Yes, absolutely.
Are CDC statements on Ebola based on medical science or on politics?
What do you think?
So, why the delay? Not enough danger yet?
And then checkmate, he calls for martial law, no election and he is king of the US for an undetermined amout of time. THAT is I believe his end game.....Sound paranoid? I dunno.
AMEN.
