A man with Ebola-like symptoms is being taken by ambulance to a Boston hospital.
Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, 11 Grossman Drive, was reportedly being evacuated while doctors assessed a possible case of Ebola, according to fire and police radio transmissions from the scene.
A man who recently traveled to West Africa was being isolated outside the center inside an ambulance, according to fire department officials. He is now being escorted by police to a Boston hospital. The driver of the ambulance is wearing a mask and haz mat suit.
The Braintree police and fire departments, Department of Public Health and a haz mat team are responding to the Braintree office.

Charming. My wife is supposed to accompany some family members to a Boston hospital tomorrow...personally, I never cared for the idea just because Boston is a sh*thole...now I REALLY think it’s a BAD idea.
I wonder if putting an urban hospital with patients and employees from all over the region is a good idea. Then again, what have the ptb done that's a good idea lately?
GET YOUR KITCHEN AIDE HAZMAT SUIT
PERFECT FOR CUTTING UP THOSE EBOLA COATED CHICKENS AND STEAKS
EVERY WIFE SHOULD HAVE ONE!
That would be the reason to discard production from a given line on a shift or shifts in the instance of a worker being suspected of infection.
We’ve got the n95 masks on order. Hope they get here before too long. But we don’t have suits. We’ll be a little bit protected. Of course the best bet is to stay home.
Anyone want to trade some food for ammo? You can’t shoot ebola.
I hope we’re over reacting. If this is as bad as it seems, we’re in for some long suffering.
I hear the N100 filters might work, but not N95
I read someone, possibly a crazy freeper posted it, that filters in the N95 are .1 micron or something while ebola is .03 or something
I have no idea what it meant but it sounds hugh and series
Stay home. You will just contaminate your car.
I’ve always been a problem-solver type, if a problem presents itself I can’t help but turn it around, inside out, look at every angle I can envision and try to think of ways to solve the problem. To some, that may seem like overreaction or panic because they wouldn’t do that unless they were, it’s projection. Me, it’s just how I am. I’m concerned but not panicked. Ask me again if it turns up in the Greensboro/Winston-Salem area of North Carolina, and then I’ll be concerned to the point of taking a few measures personally. More than one, more measures. Panic is not something I’ve experienced that much. If it hits home literally, maybe. Probably more grief and anger than panic, though.
“I cannot imagine how our medical system is going to function when flu season hits.:
If you go to hospital with “flu” symptoms, you will be put in the isolation wing with all the others with similar symptoms. Depending on where you are, you just may get ebola when another “flu” patient is really an ebola patient and begins spewing.
Agreed. Got my flu shot. Don’t want to go to hospital thinking I have Ebola to find out its the flu. Probably get Ebola in the process of being told I have the flu.
Buy a propeller spray bottle and spray Clorox mist on everything you are going to touch.
Actually that might puff up particles that are still infective.
Obamacare will handle it, just ask Nancy Pelosi.
Properly used DDT would be a great solution there. Thanks, Rachael!
I’d barbecue it and wash it down with an ice cold glass of hemlock, with a twist of lemon......
There is no chance that the GOPe will seriously attempt to repeal it at this point. It's all about "fixing" it now: sort of like "fixing" Frankenstein's monster.
