This story is developing. Please check back for further updates.
Wow, the family is perfectly healthy through this? Unbelievable. They need to count their blessings and stop worrying about racism.
Soon Barry will say, “no one is angrier about this than he is”......
“She probably returned because she was told to.”
If that’s the case, whoever told her to return (on a plane and exposing over one hundred people) should be severely reprimanded. The nurse should have been told to report to quarantine in place until further notice.
I am just dumbfounded....
There are just NO WORDS for this kind of epic stupidity. She likely traveled because she BELIEVED the CDC when officials said there was little risk. There was no active monitoring of the employees.
Now potentially TENS OF THOUSANDS in the circle of potential infection are at risk of a very gruesome death.
AMERICAN CITIZENS....
We here all knew America had screwed itself by electing/reelecting Obama. Little did we know.....
I would settle for a tracel ban on West Africa.

Nothing in that story about where she came from. Just flying into Cleveland. Hmmm
That line from “not symptomatic to symptomatic”, the CDC has no clue. There is not definitive line.
They should have sent someone to ‘fetch’ her. Nigeria did with their nurse escapee. Putting her in quarantine somewhere else increases the number of potential exposures from another hospital cluster.
I’m not trying to pick a fight either.
This research should have been done months ago. Past Ebola strains killed so quick that a lot of this research was moot. This one takes up to 21 days. This should have been a clue. HCW’s dying in droves, even if they only came into contact with the equipment. That’s a clue.
They should have been worried about transmissibility in June.
There are labs that do nothing more that experiment with beasts like the one we are dealing with now.
The Reston Monkey Die Off back in the 80’s was a case of Ebola that was proven to be airborne. The dodged bullet there was the strain didn’t infect humans.
Transmisability is the first, second, and third question that has to be answered in any infectious disease outbreak. It dictates everything in the response protocol.
It’s clear they have not done this work.
This is the VA scandal, only this time the incompetence is going to be historical.
I will take science over logic any day of the week. Logic has failed us so often in science that the examples could fill (indeed, do fill) libraries.
Example - time slows down as something is accelerated to the speed of light. In addition, distances shrink, and mass ‘increases’ (momenergy increases). The speed of light, wherever it is observed, is what’s constant. There is zero logical about that.
They should be assuming less and proving more. This is the reason why Al Gore is flying about the planet, spewing thousands of tons of CO2, heralding the end of the world.
CO2 is a heavy gas. Heavier than air. It settles to the bottom of any volume. It’s use as a ‘greenhouse gas’ (no such thing in science) is horrible. (Water vapor is a good ‘greenhouse gas’)
Other questions we should answer about Ebola Guinea:
1. How long can it live on a hard surface?
2. Are there any surfaces that reduce its viability?
3. Does sunlight or UV light kill it?
4. If so, how fast?
5. What substances kill the virus on surfaces?
6. What foods, vitamins, spirits, beverages found in the market kill the virus, if any (quinine was effective on yellow fever)
Good ones.
I think we are already in the VERY BAD SITUATION, soon everyone will know it.
However, given:
* Øbola's historical mutating proficiency,
* the empirical data that as few as 10 viruses are required to transfer the infection
* the fact that a single drop of blood can contain six billion viruses,
* CDC/FedGov's obfuscation, incompetence, and traitorous inaction to date,
I'm finding it very difficult to believe anything we're being 'told'.
In close contact with... on an airplane??? Every single passenger is in close contact with every other airplane passenger in the closed environment of an airplane!!!
Sorry, just fact, not theory. But here’s another fact, there are 150 people coming here every day from the three Ebola countries. Unless you live in a cave, one of them could be coming to your community any day now.
WHO now says that 42 days is the appropriate quarantine time.
So you going to restrict the right to travel for all healthcare workers who take care of an Ebola patient from here on out?
Good luck finding staff to care for them.
