The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday confirmed the first case of Ebola has been diagnosed in the United States.
This story is developing. Please check back for further updates
Me neither (don’t know). Dang am going to hate having to wait out six to eight more weeks to know something.
No this person was like the resident CDC guy. He claimed all this knowledge but had the least bit of concern as Africa is a third world country and in the US Ebola is no match for our sanitary isolation units. There was no sarcasm with this one, that’s for sure.
Don’t know what’s true, but CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden stated in a news conference today, that the man was turned away on the 26th and was admitted to the hospital on the 28th. So if untrue, then the CDC director lies.
yep, an earlier discussion was asking if someone was lying ... seems to be another unknown.
Found a link btw ... 10th paragraph down ... http://www.redstate.com/2014/09/30/the-ebola-patient-and-a-call-to-my-show/ ... is not my link btw. Link was back around #830 or close thereby.

Got to be washed down with bleach at least 1part bleach to 10 parts water for 10 or 15 minutes, before you take off the protective gear. Every single teeny tiny bit of the whole gear including hood, and boots.
And the moron has exposed his family that lives here that he is visiting. If any of them get sick and die, it’s all on his shoulders.
OK. Just trying to make peace.
That would be me, and I still have the same opinion.
While the West African outbreak became uncontrollable for the local authorities, I do not believe that it will remain so as the low hanging fruit is picked..
It a tragic situation for them, but it’s not going to be the same worldwide, or here for that matter. So what are we up to now? 4k dead? In countries where people herd like cattle and there are multiple disease outbreaks annually..
You still, cannot transfer the rotten conditions to the west. The disease can come here but the conditions will not.
Which is why all your fear of Ebola is groundless.
Having said that, you also need some perspective. Here is a quote from the CDC.
“Flu seasons are unpredictable and can be severe. Over a period of 30 years, between 1976 and 2006, estimates of flu-associated deaths in the United States range from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people.”
Ebola has a long way to go to get to those numbers and that is just the US.
Ebola or it predecessors have been here on earth for thousands of years and it still has not done enough damage to even match the US flu stats for 30 years.
So knowing that....what do you think it’s chances are of even coming close to that record.
I think it’s slim to none..
All you have is hyperbolic nonsense.
WTF. Isn’t it standard procedure for medical personnel to ask if you have been out of the country recently??? When I’ve gone to the ER where fever or vomiting was a feature I have been asked during questioning in triage. Did this person withhold that information? With as long as Ebola has been in the forefront of health-related news now, and if the hospital knew this man had been in one of the hot zones...it’s negligence in the highest to release him onto the streets!
Unfortunately yours and mine does. And there are thousands of people out protesting in the streets of Hong Kong right now even, but I guess there are not many men of conviction or bravery left here in the homosexualized, beaten-down society of the USA because we’ve had cause to do such ourselves and yet year after year...nothing. happens.
[ Grace, did you catch the revision to the Georgia Guidestones this month? It’ll sort of make you wonder if we are being set up. ]
I even commented on that thread! :)
It is a scary thing...
Is the person so foolish that he thinks to himself “Hmm I’m living in the midst of this epidemic of killer virus and might have been in contact with infected people (You’d think he’d have to of known because they say the only way you can catch it is to be close to someone who is symptomatic)yet I think I’m going to hop on a flight to America and go see my family” UGH!
If the Info about the infected person traveling Monrovia-Brussels-Washington-Dulles (Virginia)-Dallas is true, this is likely the schedule he took.
SN = SN Brussels Airlines
UA = United Airlines
SN 1247 ROB 8:40PM BRU 5:15AM 6h 35m Airbus A330
Layover in BRU 6h 45m
UA 951 BRU 12:00PM IAD 2:30PM 8h 30m Boeing 777
Layover in IAD 2h 45m
UA 1184 IAD 5:15PM DFW 7:24PM 3h 9m Boeing 737
This schedule is pretty typical for a trip from that part of the world
Yeah. All I can do is agree with your observance because if I say what I want to I would possibly get banned!
The very first thing that come to my mind is if this spreads, the economy is done. 2) the hoarders are buying up everything. 3) government steps in/ police state and so close to the elections/ seems convenient. This government will lie and cover things up as long as they can and their dearing media would accommodate that cover-up. It’s where we stand. The lies and cover ups.
Makes me think of how most leftists have this thing about over population. It’s almost as though the earth is the master and the humans are the problem to them.
I don’t trust anything that this government says. There should Never be a extremist liberal as a president of this country. Never. The Obama voters are out for themselves. Freebies. They have created this mess for all of us. They will become sick, too and would be the first ones to loot for medicines and water. Panic, have not seen nothing yet.
Time to ban all flights from Africa and seal the border shut dangit! So fed up with all the BS. CLOSE THE BORDER. Who brings much of the diseases, poverty, crime, gangs? It’s not those from Europe I’ll tell you that much.
I think we have “patient zero” in our hands...and with one case there has to be at least dozens more that have not been identified...
I wrote a “Red Cell” plan back in 2005 for a multi-prong attack on the US infrastructure for case analysis on how AQ would be able to overwhelm the public sector by introducing a deadly disease in Mexico, knowing that those illegal aliens would cross the border and once the infection come full force, would seek out US medical facilities for treatment. It took into account the timeline of “pre-exposure” to the public and the freedom of movement the US.
I’m sure you remember reading a few weeks back that those doctors that were treating Ebola did not wear breathing devices to stop the “airborne” contamination of Ebola, since CDC published that it had to be “fluid contact” for this particular virus to be spread.
Therefore, it is highly probable that the “patient zero” has already coughed, sneezed, and let loose other types of “fluid” into his environment.
There is a game one can download for free for a Droid, it’s called Plague, Inc from Miniclips - very graphic and very educational on designing and deploying a virus through a simulation...it’s a good time waster when flying on long flights - since it takes hrs to play correctly...
I think at this moment we are seeing the foundations of a govt that will allow certain rouge illegals into the US in order to cause social disorder for the end game of seizing rights and taking away freedom. Everything I have seen so far using the Enterprise Theory of Investigation leads me to this conclusion.
Understand that my background started off as a state trooper assigned to counter-drug & state militia activity - then over to the USAR MP Anti-Terrorism Officer/NBC - got out as a Captain, did 4 tours in Iraq, worked for several 3 letter agencies, and now involved in cyber warfare and hacking...Yes, I’ve ping-ponged all over the place - but my masters is in unconventional warfare, my thesis covered germ warfare, and I’ve seen the threat posed by outside entities and most recently, the internal ones.
I hope you find this interesting...I suggest these books to read as well:
Biohazard: Ken Alibek
The Demon in the Freezer: Richard Preston
Germs: Judith Miller
Emerging Viruses: Horowitz
The Strecker Memorandum (Video)
Per terrorism in the M/E - I also have written one - mostly circulates in the Intel and SF community called: Babylon’s Covert War...talks about exactly what is occurring now in Iraq and how it could have been stopped - and what can be done to stop it!
Have a great day!
Joe
