Wonder how many he infected after he was turned away the first time. A sneeze here and a sneeze there. Who should we thank for letting this happen over here?

 

Doesn't matter. It would be foolish of us here in America to believe Ebola would never make it over here. Big pharmacy is already prepared and waiting to make this money off of Ebola. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Officials: Second person being monitored for Ebola

 

Rutt Ro Raggy...

This is where it all begins... I'm heading to Hershel's farm soon.

Many thanks to our open door policy of allowing people from these infected areas to just fly in here and spread the sickness.

Every person who gets this and dies, their family should sue our government for negligence.

Not sue where you saw that but the articles I read did not say he supposedly caught it after travel. He most likely caught prior to leaving for the US. Symptoms didn't show up until 4 days after he was here meaning those who were on the flight with him are most likely not at risk.

 

The scenarios outlined in the article are all absolute best case scenarios when it comes to transmission. Supposedly it is 'only' spread via 'bodily fluid' - like AIDS. Supposedly it does not live long outside the host (human bod). So you would have to have contact with body fluids of another person to contract it.

 

 

 

People who shared a flight with him are not at risk for developing Ebola, as patients don't spread the disease until they have symptoms. This patient's symptoms developed four days after the flight. Two days later, on September 26, he sought care, and he was admitted to a hospital and placed in isolation on September 28. The patient wasn't hospitalized right away because early Ebola symptoms look a lot like many other diseases, Frieden says.

 

"Only someone sick can spread the disease," Frieden says. So anyone the patient was in contact with starting on September 20, is being tracked by public health authorities. They'll be tracked for 21 days; after that, if the disease hasn't developed, it won't. That means that people on the flight from Africa with the patient aren't at risk — only a "handful" of people, including the patient's family, have been exposed.

 

But it is interesting that they have basically quarantined the ambulance crew that transported the victim and taken the actual vehicle out of service. If 'only someone sick can spread the desease then why the quarantine? If it does not live outside the body long - why take a vehicle completely out of service. Just some inconsistencies in statements and actions.

The three members of the ambulance crew are restricted to their homes while their conditions are observed and while the virus' incubation period passes.

 

The patient was vomiting when the ambulance got to the hospital, Dallas city spokeswoman Sana Syed said.

I would think all precautions should be taken. Did the guy sneeze in the ambulance? spit? drool? leave blood somehow? Why not take it out of commission for a through cleaning.

Like the CDC wont lie so as not to cause a panic. But please believe all they have to say you poor little brain washed people. I dare you who believe to go hang out with an ebola patient.

Ebola patient told hospital he was from Liberia and they still sent him back home..Ebola patient told hospital he was from Liberia

I would think all precautions should be taken. Did the guy sneeze in the ambulance? spit? drool? leave blood somehow? Why not take it out of commission for a through cleaning.

 

Given the situation it is very resonable but it is out of step somewhat with the CDC statements. Quarentining the ambulance crew - for up to 21 days - though they are not showing signs of infection is out of line with statements that you have be showing signs.

 

Here is an interesting twist. Patient 0 was in direct contact with Ebola victim(s) but did not directly disclose it.

 

Ebola patient at Dallas hospital identified as Monrovian man who reportedly helped infected woman - NY Daily News

 

“He was holding her by the legs, the pa was holding her arms and Sonny Boy," the victim's 21-year-old brother, "was holding her back,” witness Arren Seyou, 31, who occupies a room next to one Duncan lives in, told the paper.

 

One day after helping carrying the 19-year-old woman she reportedly died.

 

Sonny Boy, who began showing symptoms of the virus around the same time Duncan did, died Wednesday, a few minutes after being picked up by an ambulance and transported to a hospital, according to the report.

 

Duncan managed to pass through rigorous screening before leaving the country since he had yet to show any signs of the virus, according to the CDC.

 

I does seem he know he was or maybe infected and got out. Not a bad move on his part. But shows problems in containment.

Not good...

 

Ebola 'could become airborne': United Nations warns of 'nightmare scenario' as virus spreads to the US - Telegraph

 

There is a ‘nightmare’ chance that the Ebola virus could become airborne if the epidemic is not brought under control fast enough, the chief of the UN’s Ebola mission has warned.

 

 

Anthony Banbury, the Secretary General’s Special Representative, said that aid workers are racing against time to bring the epidemic under control, in case the Ebola virus mutates and becomes even harder to deal with.

I had a link to that also and got laughed at and laughed out of the forum. Weird that someone else finds it like that. but since its me no ones wants to believe it, well folks its here and I told you first.

My wife is in med school, and interestingly enough, she is currently taking a virology course. With all of the ebola outbreak going on at current, it has apparently been spoken about on a few separate occasions. Her instructors - one which is an MD who specializes in virology and the other a research PhD specializing in virology - have essentially said this: Yes, there is a chance that the virus could become airborne. However, this generally takes years worth of time for any virus mutation to occur, and tens to hundreds of thousands of occurrences of the virus to work through its mutation. Furthermore, due to the hosts' usual swift rate of death, the virus is so short lived within its host that it will take even longer to mutate than an "average" virus. Look at HIV. It lives in its hosts for years, and even decades. It has hardly mutated to an airborn virus (it is only considered airborne when carried in bodily fluids that also become airborne), and the human immunodeficiency virus has been around for 40+ years.
