DURHAM, N.C. — The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is monitoring a patient at Duke University Hospital in Durham who traveled from Liberia and has developed a fever.

State health officials said Sunday night that the patient departed Liberia and arrived Friday at Newark (N.J.) Liberty International Airport, had no symptoms upon arrival and had no known exposure to Ebola while in Liberia.

The patient, whose age and gender were not released, took a bus from New Jersey to Durham County, according to state epidemiologist Dr. Megan Davies. He or she arrived in Person County on Saturday and developed a fever on Sunday.

Ebola scares could hurt voter turnout in Durham... Oh darn! They are mostly Kay Hagen supporters..... sarc

[Cowboy Bob]

Doesn’t Hagen support Obama’s program to bring non-citizens, who are infected with Ebola, to America?

She voted with Obummer over 95% of the time.

She has outspent her opponent with out of state $$$ 3 to 1 with a lot coming from Dirty Harry so he can keep his senate majority job.

Likely the church buses already took them to early voting the previous Sundays for their “souls to the polls” to avoid any second thoughts of rational thinking.

Tested negative.

It is interesting how so many people who fly in from the hot zone develop fevers within a few days, end up in the hospital and then test negative or we never hear about them again. A fever is the body’s way of killing off viruses and germs so it is obvious they contracted something. Most viruses kick in after 3-5 days from exposure. Are they getting a bug off the plane? Or, as has been said, that genes play a role in warding off Ebola or their immune system can squash it immediately?

Duke University patient tests negative for Ebola, remains in isolation.

“Ebola is not spread through the air”

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...
