VG NYHETER ^ | 10/6/2014 | Rune Thomas Ege

Posted on 10/06/2014 12:12:54 PM PDT by TangoLimaSierra

- Doctors Without Borders confirms that one of our organization’s Norwegian field workers in Sierra Leone has tested positive and has been diagnosed with bleeding fever ebola, confirms Anne Cecilie Kalteborn in MSF’s Norway branch to Norwegian media VG.

The Norwegian health worker is tonight being flown with an ambulance flight from the capital Sierra Leone. She will probably land in Norway Monday night or Tuesday night.

- We are working to transport our colleague home as soon as possible, says Kaltebotn.

The woman, who has been working for MSF in Sierra Leone’s second city Bo, has according to VG’s sources been feeling increasingly ill during the weekend.

When the symptoms of Ebola, fever and sickness, were felt, she was put in isolation and lab-tests proved she was infected.

- This is a situation we take very seriously, says the Norwegian Foreign Department.

The woman will be flown to Oslo’s main hospital, Ullevål, were a full team of doctor’s are ready to receive her.

Bo is a district in Sierra Leone that is badly hit by the epidemic: 227 suspected cases are reported in the area were the Norwegian woman was infected.

The Norwegian health worker is tonight being flown with an ambulance flight from the capital Sierra Leone. She will probably land in Norway Monday night or Tuesday night.

But all these workers are following “protocol” there is no way they should be gettign infected......

At least that is WHAT the CDC is SAYING...

Should have read, “Local SF area channel 7 mentioned that one Spain’s nurses has Ebola.

Nothing more except she apparently was in a hot zone helping to treat patients.

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...

I would imagine the nurse in Spain who got infected while treating a guy who was sent back to Spain thought they were following protocols.

It’s already global. They just don’t want to panic the lemmings who think they are safe.

What's the score?

Last time I looked, it was:

US: 4
Europe: 2

I just know we can beat Europe for the record! /sarc

These doctors are learning quickly why it’s a good idea to have borders. They get sick with Ebola and haul ass back to the safety of the borders of their home countries.

>following “protocol”

Makes one wonder what these young men and women do in their off time. How much “direct injection” are some getting from the local natives?

Generations from now when students study the Great Ebola Pandemic in history class, they will marvel at the West's stupidity in seemingly to take every action they could possibly take to deliberately introduce this disease to our shores.
