HOUSTON, Texas -- A Dallas paramedic claimed he drove the ambulance that the US Ebola patient was transported in and that he was not contacted by anyone about the potential exposure. He claims he drove the ambulance sometime after the patient was transported. The Dallas Fire Department left the ambulance that transported Ebola patient Thomas Duncan to the hospital in service for at least 48 hours before putting it in quarantine on Wednesday. The ambulance was exposed to the Ebola virus when Duncan was transported on September 28th. All the people in the back of the ambulance 48 hours later before they finally took the ambulance out of service, said Dallas Paramedic Geoffrey Aklinski in a discussion on Facebook, none of them have been contacted. None of the paramedics that were on that shift and went in the ambulance were contacted. Ive been off three days now. No one contacted me and I was in and drove that ambulance after it was infected.

I still have my smallpox scar from the vaccination. I just hope my kids got some immunity from me from that shot.
Brantly and Writebol suspect they were infected by a coworker who worked for a half a day or so before she decided she might be really sick after all.
Imagine someone who ‘mans up’ through half a shift at the burger king. Sweating on the bags he’s handing out the drive thru window.
Salivary glands get infected early in one test that I read about.
Well, my first born got a small pox shot too, but my youngest daughter, grand children and great grand children did not. I am very concerned about their health.
One of my grand daughters has asthma, and her kids have been sick with respiratory illnesses one right after another all summer. The baby is taking breathing treatments now.
Just found out yesterday that a nurse in our county had the EV D68 virus and missed work for 3 weeks. She works up toward St. Louis, and that's where she got exposed. My youngest daughter also works in St. Louis.
St Louis is about 75 miles from here, but we have a shortage of jobs in the county, so many people do commute to St. Louis. I baby sit with her daughter and my great grand kids.
My kids didn’t get vaccinated either. Smallpox had been “eradicated” and only “existed” in a few labs.
I’m worried about this new (for Americans) enterovirus. Two of my kids had childhood asthma. This puts them at risk and they are now adult men.
Great /s . This just gets better and better. /s
God,He brought it back to his kids and now the other kids are in danger too.

The Centers for Disease Control Changed Its Ebola Prevention Page on September 19, 2014. Why?
PJ Media ^ | 10/1/14 | Bryan Preston
PREVENTION
PARAPHRASING SOCRATES, THE CDC ADMITES THAT ALL THEY KNOW IS THAT THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT EBOLA.
CDC edited out the following text on Sept 19:
Because we still do not know exactly how people are infected with Ebola, few primary prevention measures have been established and no vaccine exists. When cases of the disease do appear, risk of transmission is increased within healthcare settings. Therefore, healthcare workers must be able to recognize a case of Ebola and be ready to use practical viral hemorrhagic fever isolation precautions or barrier nursing techniques. They should also have the capability to request diagnostic tests or prepare samples for shipping and testing elsewhere.
Why did the CDC edit all of that information out? Did the science change, or did the government make the edit for some other reason(s)?
There is no FDA-approved vaccine available for Ebola.
If you travel to or are in an area affected by an Ebola outbreak, make sure to do the following:
Practice careful hygiene. Avoid contact with blood and body fluids.
Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected persons blood or body fluids.
Avoid funeral or burial rituals that require handling the body of someone who has died from Ebola.
Avoid contact with bats and nonhuman primates or blood, fluids, and raw meat prepared from these animals.
Avoid hospitals where Ebola patients are being treated. The U.S. embassy or consulate is often able to provide advice on facilities.
After you return, monitor your health for 21 days and seek medical care immediately if you develop symptoms of Ebola(http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/symptoms/index.html).
Healthcare workers who may be exposed to people with Ebola should follow these steps:
Wear protective clothing, including masks, gloves, gowns, and eye protection.
Practice proper infection control and sterilization measures. For more information, see Infection Control for Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers in the African Health Care Setting.
Isolate patients with Ebola from other patients.
direct contact with the bodies of people who have died from Ebola.
Notify health officials if you have had direct contact with the blood or body fluids, such as but not limited to, feces, saliva, urine, vomit, and semen of a person who is sick with Ebola. The virus can enter the body through broken skin or unprotected mucous membranes in, for example, the eyes, nose, or mouth.

Doomsday warning: UN Ebola chief raises 'nightmare' prospect that virus could mutate and become airborne - making it much more infectious
United Nations warns Ebola virus currently plaguing West Africa could become airborne
The longer it moves between human hosts the greater possibility of mutation.
The risk grows the longer virus is living within the human 'melting pot' NGOs have said the Ebola virus is currently infecting five people every hour.
More than 3,300 people have died from Ebola since the outbreak first began.
Officials call for 1,000 new Sierra Leone isolation centres to contain virus British survivor says 'horror' of children dying from disease must be avoided.

From Pigs to Monkeys, Ebola Goes Airborne
Nov 21, 2012 | Jane Huston | Research & Policy
http://healthmap.org/site/diseasedaily/article/pigs-monkeys-ebola-goes-airborne-112112#sthash.srRHtwa1.dpuf
Ebola has a 21 days incubation period before the infested person show symptoms. The CDC maintains that a person infested with Ebola cannot transmit it until they show symptoms of the disease. How can they assure that the person cannot infest another person after 10, 15, or 19 days of being infested by the virus while still not showing symptoms of the virus? The CDC falsely assure the American people that it cannot be transmitted by air although studies in Canada seems to prove otherwise.
When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air. The team, comprised of researchers from the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease, the University of Manitoba, and the Public Health Agency of Canada, observed transmission of Ebola from pigs to monkeys.
They first inoculated a number of piglets with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus. Ebola-Zaire is the deadliest strain, with mortality rates up to 90 percent. The piglets were then placed in a room with four cynomolgus macaques, a species of monkey commonly used in laboratories. The animals were separated by wire cages to prevent direct contact between the species. Within a few days, the inoculated piglets showed clinical signs of infection indicative of Ebola infection.
In pigs, Ebola generally causes respiratory illness and increased temperature. Nine days after infection, all piglets appeared to have recovered from the disease. Within eight days of exposure, two of the four monkeys showed signs of Ebola infection. Four days later, the remaining two monkeys were sick too. It is possible that the first two monkeys infected the other two, but transmission between non-human primates has never before been observed in a lab setting.
While the study provided evidence that transmission of Ebola between species is possible, researchers still cannot say for certain how that transmission actually occurred. There are three likely candidates for the route of transmission: airborne, droplet, or fomites.
Airborne and droplet transmission both technically travel through the air to infect others; the difference lies in the size of the infective particles. Smaller droplets persist in the air longer and are able to travel farther- these droplets are truly airborne. Larger droplets can neither travel as far nor persist for very long.
What do these findings mean? First and foremost, Ebola is not suddenly an airborne disease.
Doctor Boards Atlanta Flight In HazMat Suit To Protest "Lying CDC"
Zero Hedge ^ | 10/2/14 | Tyler Durden
"If they're not lying, they are grossly incompetent," said Dr. Gil Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician from Springfield, Mo. as he checked in and cleared Atlanta airport security wearing a mask, goggles, gloves, boots and a hooded white jumpsuit emblazoned on the back with the words, "CDC is lying!" As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, Mobley says the CDC is "sugar-coating" the risk of the virus spreading in the United States.
Agnes, what does the iodine do in this context?
Been doing that for years. Learned it from my mother as a child a long, long time ago.
One paper I read (study of ebola stats from Zaire strain) said up to 25 days possible for incubation.
I haven’t seen anyone posting anything about touching MONEY......That is one item that travels everywhere...
Yuck - Lord help us...
Guys pressure washing ebola vomit and getting it all over themselves and everyone who walks across the parking lot like the woman in sandals. America today is no better than those turd world countries.
chlorine and ‘iodophors’ can kill ebola.
I have no idea if it works while in the blood stream.
But you obviously can’t drink bleach. So I am continuing to take my iodine and bumping my daily dose to 20 drops, first thing in the morning.
It has other health benefits for me as well. My PCOS is gone, for example.
“A great teaching moment” to have an adequate water supply on hand, along with freeze dried food to last for weeks or months, and the means to defend it all from zombies.
Right now Ebola is sucking up most of the air, but this Ev D68, is something to be very concerned about too. I’m trying to keep up on both.
With the flu season coming on, this is really shaping up to be a very problematic season. Ebola, Ev D68, flu, H1N1, H5N1, pick your poison.
I wouldn’t want to be an ER or any other medical worker this year. All this stuff with similar symptoms. Our local news reported that the hospitals in St. Louis are concerned there won’t be enough respirators and isolation rooms to deal with it all.
In 2008, the flu season was so bad that the hospital in St. Louis had patients in the hallways, and had to bring people in to work from all over the state on their days off.
