Patient being evaluated for potential Ebola virus at Duke University Hospital
Duke University ^ | 11/02/14

Posted on 11/02/2014 7:47:56 PM PST by Enlightened1

As of Sunday evening, November 2, a patient has been admitted to Duke University Hospital for further evaluation and testing for potential Ebola virus infection. We expect to know the results of this test from the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services sometime Monday morning. Meanwhile, the patient is being cared for in the same confined, isolated and secured space in which an actual Ebola patient would be treated. The patient is receiving care from a seasoned team of Duke clinical professionals who have completed extensive training to treat such a patient. We have anticipated this possibility for several weeks now and have a plan in place to manage this situation.

We appreciate that some may be concerned in hearing this news but wanted to review some facts we hope will be helpful.

“Health officials stressed that the only way that Ebola is transmitted is through direct contact with the fluids from an infected person”

Well, then, health officials are lying, because even the CDC says indirect contact with aerosol droplets sprayed from an infected person via cough or sneeze can transmit the infection. To quote the CDC:

“droplets (e.g., splashes or sprays) of respiratory or other secretions from a person who is sick with Ebola could be infectious”

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.


Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

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...

The county in NC where this person lives is very close to my daughter, so I’m watching this one very anxiously.

Good news

“A North Carolina man who developed a fever after returning from a trip to Liberia has tested negative for Ebola, authorities said.”
