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. I’ve been off three days now. No one contacted me and I was in and drove that ambulance after it was infected.”

Yes, let’s create an aerosol.
Speaking as someone who’s diagnosed and treated it, leprosy probably won’t increase much. It’s one of the few infections that HIV doesn’t seem to increase. We might get a few more from Obama’s southern invasion, but nothing significant. Only about 3% of people are genetically susceptible; it can’t spread a lot. And there’s not that much of it in Mexico or Central America to be spread. Obama hasn’t figured out how to import it from Brazil and I doubt he wants to import Hindu cases from India.
Thanks for the link to related information and for your replies. From my experiences and what I see, the authorities with the duty of containing the virus are lacking discipline more than anything else. The Army could do much better much more quickly. Only my opinion thus far.
I would stay in it, if it were my apartment and well sterilized enough. On the sewer system, I’m not sure. It would be okay as far as the treatment plant. Would the bacteria or gases in the system kill the virus or otherwise clean it up, or would the virus multiply? I would guess so, but I really don’t know.
I hope your blessed with winning a small fortune.

Ebola money, I wonder if it has caused in problems in Africa?
Boxun Description of Ebola in China
Recombinomics Commentary
July 19, 2005
1. EB-SZ type:...Incubation period is 2-4 weeks. Some individual cases have incubation period up to 6 months. Some cases are asymptomatic...co-infections and complications...diathesis from the major blood vessels. In severe cases, blood vessels disintegrate; muscular tissues became fluid-like; patients died of lack of oxygen due to haemorrhage. After the case die, the disintegration symptoms persist...The process continues until the carcass completely disintegrates.... 2. EB-ST type:...Incubation period: 30-120 days...This virus is suspected to be the mutated by-product of Ebola virus and other viruses... 3. EB-HN type:...Transmission is unknown. Incubation is about 30-60 days...After the disintegration of blood vessels, patients experience symptoms related to blood loss. Most of the deceased cases' heavily infected organs were in their lungs. If the blood vessels of the internal organs were infected, it will cause hepatic damage. Deceased case's face and bottom will disintegrate within 2-8 hours afterwards;... 6. EB-SZ77 type: It was found in Shenzhen of South China (adjacent to Hong Kong). This virus could infect birds.
... Other boxun documents indicate details of H5N1 and Ebola infections are considered state secrets,...
I am a former Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare Officer in the United States Navy. What I believe we saw was a bio-weapon that was deliberately or accidentally released from a Chinese Bio-Weapons Lab in Sichuan. Hence the attempt to name it Sichuan Sheet,...
What was this biological weapon that I believe the Chinese have perfected by now? I believe it was a form of "Air or proximity transmitted (coughing sneezing) Ebola that could pass from person to person as easily as the common flu. If it was released on purpose, it was a perfect time to do so, because the newspapers in the region were covering the Bird Flu outbreak, and the bio-weapon release story could be lost in the Bird Flu story as the Bird Flu spread out of China...
The Bioweapon was very lethal at the beginning and the Chinese were frantic about getting it contained. Thousands of troops were rushed into Sichuan and other regions that it was detected including the Qinghai Lakes area where H5N1 Bird Flu was also breaking out at the same time. People were ordered to stay in their houses and not come out. Death squads of soldiers were sent from infected village to infected village and were eliminating whole villages and bulldozing the bodies under. Then all of the troops who were involved in the slaughter were killed. There was one report of a whole battalion of troops being marched into a large abandoned coal mine. Once they were all in there, the mine entrance was blown shut and all of those soldiers were left to die.
It gets worse. ugggg
Something positive.
Beans tastes mighty good when you are hungry. I have had a lot of beans in my life.
My kids are in college/working.
It makes me nervous.
Oldest girl is doing rotations in the ER her last semester as an BRN student. That makes me very nervous.
I hear ya. I don’t have any, so haven’t touched anything. Back when I was in high school/college working in retail, I’d touch the money in the vault while eating. Never do that today.
I’ll bet the Army (minus Barry’s hacks) and those at the CDC that aren’t hacks, could do a fine job if they were not hindered by this Administration.
They are instigating every scenario.
That says a LOT.
>>One paper I read (study of ebola stats from
>>Zaire strain) said up to 25 days possible for incubation.
One of the MSF case studies had a victim who manifested after 40 days.
We are now seeing 1 in 100, 1 in 1000, and 1 in 10,000 expressions of Ebola.
That means Ebola won’t be static. This isn’t mutation, it is simply that people are different in how they interact with the disease.
I’m not sure if they have during these studies, taken blood from a variety of seemingly unaffected people in Africa to see if they have antibodies and the severity may be limited to those with a genetic predisposition? Who knows? The Govt. certainly doesn’t know everything about this disease. If they do, and are that certain, could it be from an engineered or modified disease? The possibilities are frightening.
For this level of competence we pay trillions in taxes.
Makes me all warm and fuzzy.

>>>you’d have a hard time convincing me ...acting out of treasonous motives. This was just stupid.
I think you are missing the point. The President is in charge of protecting this nation. Any time you have to implement precautionary measures on a national scale, you MUST implement a plan that is more draconian than the minimum. Why? Because the minimum workable plan is the one that assumes that everyone will follow the rules, no screw ups, or unanticipated events, etc.
On a national scale, such an expectation has 0% chance of realization, because stupid is as stupid does. Thus, the President had at his disposal more draconian measures, such as barring the transport of citizens from the affected nations onto US soil, and forcing US citizens who were in those places into pre-emptive quarantine upon return. He should have anticipated screw ups in the field, which can cannot be averted, but can be compensated for with more stringent rules.
But what has he done? He has created the most porous border in US history. He has not restricted flights to/from these nations (even to the point of applying political pressure to other nations that have restricted flights). The same day our visitor gets sick, the president signs an executive order (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/09/26/presidential-memorandum-deferred-enforced-departure-liberians) prohibiting the repatriation of illegal Liberians. What more could he do to lower our defenses? Extend invitations to ISIS??
