NATIONAL PHYSICIAN ORGANIZATION DIRECTOR: 'RESTRICTED ENTRY' NECESSARY TO STOP SPREAD OF EBOLA

Breitbart ^ | Oct. 4, 2014 | by DR. SUSAN BERRY

[Jim Robinson]

The executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons states that restricted entry to the United States will be necessary to stop the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.

“The potential for devastating loss of life is real,” wrote Dr. Jane M. Orient on the website of AAPS. “The disease must be stopped before there are millions of persons exposed instead of 100.”

Orient said that restricting entry to the United States means that travelers from areas affected by Ebola must be “carefully screened and quarantined when indicated.”

Additionally, she warned that to contain the spread of Ebola, the United States must observe a high degree of suspicion, including a “travel and exposure history” for patients with fever and other symptoms, precautionary isolation, and careful contact tracing so that at-risk individuals are “identified, notified, monitored, and isolated as needed.”

Orient said that hospital personnel must all be trained with adequate supplies of protective gear and have a high degree of alertness for signs of the deadly disease.

“We need hard-headed realism, not complacent reassurance,” Orient wrote.

“President Obama said: ‘It will require an air bridge to get health workers and medical supplies to areas that are affected,’” she noted. “Meanwhile, the virus has used the air bridge of a commercial flight to reach Dallas. So far, only the index patient is ill, but 100 contacts are being observed.”

Orient questioned how so many experts can say that the chance of a widespread outbreak is “vanishingly small” due to our “highly sophisticated public health system,” when the U.S. has already experienced a number of breaches in our stronghold, first and foremost the fact that the hospital treating the symptomatic patient from Liberia failed to follow federal guidelines. Rather than being placed in isolation, the patient was sent home...

I don’t think it will matter in the end.

They are not nearly as smart as they think they are.

They are quite simply mad.

I don’t think this group is CDC centric, or CDC accepting. For that reason, I see them as a group trying to do the right thing, raise public awareness despite the CDC’s seeming intent to cause the exact opposite.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

As they say: “This needs to go viral.”

[Secret Agent Man]

i’m not a doc but it was the first thing i thought of.

and i got a bunch of grief from knobs here about it.

[Girlene]

Finally, an adult speaks up. She makes a lot of sense.

Would love to see her heading up the CDC.

I think in the end, President Obama will have to announce that anyone from western Africa and/or anyone who lived in western Africa for a fairly long period of time will be strictly prohibited from boarding any airline flight to the USA. Given Ebola’s very high fatality rate, such an announcement will not be surprising.

[daisy12]

I’m wondering if the airlines can be petitioned directly to refuse travel with anyone from the affected countries since the government plans to do nothing.

[Ray76]

This past week Obama gave a speech to foreigners and exhorted “no one can stop us” from becoming citizens in - violation of law but by decree.

It is sedition.

Obama commits sedition and usurps Congress’ power and TO THEIR FACE has mocked them. And Congress does nothing!

The political class had better wake up before Bastille Day.

God help this country and God damn the Republicans WHO DO NOTHING. They are complicit.

Ping…

A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread

There have been so many breaches of BSL-4 protocols in dealing with the Dallas patient we will be luck not to have an outbreak.

Suspending the issuance of visas for those from the involved countries is only a start, but it would be a darned good one. They are running here in hopes of getting a cure without concern for what damage is done on the way.

[Smokin' Joe]

It is sad to say but this is the way for Obama to get back at the Neo-Colonialism that shaped his world view through his so called Daddy. Time to kill off the west through the spread of a bat virus that has muted into a virus that will kill millions.

He's even aiming at the wrong white folks. The ones he is aiming at freed their slaves, and helped them establish their own nation (Liberia).

Now, how racist is that?

[null and void]

Seriously???

What's more important? Liberia's economy or the lives of millions of Americans???

Bring Out Your Dead

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...

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[GOPJ]

It doesn’t seem to me that stopping the spread is the goal of this government at all.

You're right.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Hardheaded realism meets leftist-libertarian ideology.

PING!

[Focault's Pendulum]

Won’t work. They’ll just fly into Mexico and walk across the border.

So, when Jesus exercised his natural right to remain silent during his trial, was he complicit in his own death sentence?

And are you complicit just because you haven’t taken your own serious personal, physical action yourself, yet?

“Inquiring minds want to know...”

bump to the top...
