I gather these people are professionals, therefore I have to take their questioning seriously, but seems to me if you work around people whom are dying of Ebola, and you come down with Ebola there’s a good chance you contracted the Ebola from the patient with Ebola.

Am I missing something?

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...

s the hospital's director, who had diarrhea and was vomiting repeatedly, but tested negative for the Ebola virus.... When the director didn't respond to treatment, a second test was done, which came back positive. That was 10 days after his first test.

SOO- the very quick assessment of the 2nd patient on an incoming flight - that was vomiting on the plane - states it wasn't ebola????

Is he still being watched?

Are the flight attendants who had to deal with him being warned and watched?

Are the passengers - who breathed the recirculated air on the plane, being tracked and warned?

of course not. There's no serious plan/action to stop the spread.

After doing extensive reading & research on Ebola, the West African outbreak, precautions, treatment & prevention (including Stateside), I have modified my opinion.

I am now of the opinion, particularly evidenced by the lackadaisical performance of Health officials and the Judge in Dallas, that this ‘crisis’ is truly manufactured (though of a valid threat). The US government ‘patent’ on Ebola, the exclusivity of the antibody treatment, purpose-designed transport exclusive to a US contractor, intentionally bringing infected persons Stateside, failing to ban travel to the outbreak continent or enact even the most BASIC screening procedures Stateside all point to a complicit willingness to cause distraction of the populace most focused on the ineptitude of this Administration & the government: The Right.

I’m so sick of this tripe.

What to do? No clue. My hackles are up and I’m on the lookout for what could possibly be so important to distract us that they would even contemplate this move. Remember: Who would ever have thought forces within our government would ever provide arms and willingly give up secret technology to our enemies, go to war under false pretenses, brand Patriots as terrorists...among a long list of proven, historical and alleged transgressions. I don’t believe my opinion is so implausible...but there it is: My opinion.

Ebola seems perfectly suited for this purpose in a perfectly-functioning US healthcare professional infrastructure. Now we’re faced with a scenario in which voter turnout in some States may be impacted. How convenient, huh? /s

Perhaps “how treacherous” is more apt...

Scary Ebola facts bump ...

I was in the Veterinary Public Health section in the Air Force (mid 70s). One day someone brought a dead possum that had been acting weird before it died. Since it was such a low risk for rabies the Veterinarian let me cut the head off to send out for testing. Despite all possible precautions I cut myself. I had not completed the prophylactic rabies series at the time. My imagination had got away from me and I can’t tell you how relieved I was when the results finally came back negative.

CDC's Michael Jhung, who is leading the program, says nearly every trainee had breaches of protocol, such as skin showing.

The protocols for doctors and nurses don't allow for skin exposure, yet the gov/media line is that ebola is hard to get and not very contagious.
