In the photo, a quarantined family member is bringing in supplies left at the apartment door by Red Cross volunteers.
More… The media also released these shocking photos today:
WFAA image of individuals pressure washing Mr. Duncan’s ebola laced vomit from the pavement/sidewalk. The men are not wearing any biohazard protective clothing or gear and there is a woman walking through the liquid in the parking lot wearing sandles. (wtd)
Here’s another photo of the unprotected worker cleaning up Ebola vomit on the sidewalk with a power washer.
A worker power washes the sidewalk in front of the apartment unit at The Ivy Apartments where a man diagnosed with the Ebola virus was staying in Dallas, Texas October 2, 2014. Up to 100 people may have had direct or indirect contact with the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, and four people have been quarantined in a Dallas apartment, health officials said on Thursday.

stop all flights from africa period.
stop taking back people who are infected.
if a govt spokesmouth is speaking they are lying.
Not to mention the Indian (diversity is our strength) woman walking right through the water in her sandals.
uh this is ebola odds are it was stomach hemoraging that induced the vomiting. also even sweat transmits though not with the staying power of other fluids.
That’s where it gets interesting.
In Liberia they are telling people not to TOUCH Ebola victims.
They ask them if they have TOUCHED an infected person when they try to fly out.
So it appears that - while we are getting the “ONLY bodily fluids” message ... The Liberians seem to think merely touching them is a biggy.
And Ebola isn’t supposed to be as much of a problem here for what reason again?
Our superior medical care and sanitation and understanding of disease transmission and precautions?
I am not aware of any study that investigates cross-immunity. I do not know how such a study could ethically be done, because the only way to do such a study would be to infect people that have survived Ebola with another strain of Ebola. This study cannot be done in monkeys because (as far as I know) Ebola is always fatal in monkeys, so there would be no surviving monkeys to challenge with a different strain.
In some viruses—dengue, for example—surviving one strain makes you MORE likely to die from a different strain. So it is hard to predict what effect immunity would have on a different strain.
only rich white folks use bleach, man.
Thanks to Ronald Reagan - they never WERE going to get turned away for treatment even before Obamacare.
Sheesh
5. no entry for known infected / suspected infected people. ie no more known cases coming back here.
6. start building decent facilities to treat them over there and setup treatment destinations there.
Less than half of Ebola patients hemorrhage. There are plenty of other things that can cause a person to vomit. Apparently, stomach inflammation is enough to cause vomiting, and a virus certainly can cause stomach inflammation.
The chance that you'll ever encounter someone with Ebola is slim. However, it is a good idea to be a germaphobe, just because it is good to avoid getting sick from anything. I am very careful about touching anything, and I haven't had a viral infection in about 10 years.
As I said on another post. To some people it’s all fun and games until its affects them or their family.
But you have to wonder what will go through their heads now when they are sitting 30 minutes into a 5 hour flight and someone two rows back coughs or sneezes?
Obama? Is that you?
If no one else gets ebola from this fiasco in the next 21 days, I'll eat my hat.
...” The CDC should have taken over the area”...
Obviously it’s not important to them that they do. Then they wonder why people are getting upset.
I’m thinking kerosine and fire. All this did was spread the fricken virus around.
The CDC is throwing Texas under the bus
...unless of course they answered the door immediately after stripping the highly contaminated bedsheets, without washing their hands in bleach.
Exactly, they are probably just the maintenance men that work at the complex. Likely they had no clue.
*click* spin *click* spin *click* spin…BANG!
Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
We’re gonna need 
a bigger cart!
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...
How did the camera man get it? Probably just touching something that had been touched. The only- by- fluid includes sweat .
Nice thing is that pressure washers don’t kick fine particles into the air../s
