Thread: First US case of Ebola

    Seeing that they sent the guy home on the 26th even though he showed symptoms makes me think they wanted more people infected. But I'm a conspiracy nut so .....

    Everyone should have saw this coming, considering top scientists have said it, and it's been plotted that there was a 1 in 5 chance of it being spread to America by the end of September.

    "That first guy" was an American doctor who recovered 100%, didn't infect anyone else, and was in strict isolation. It's amazing what IV fluids will do with ebola patients - we have them, most third-world countries have them, but in extremely limited supplies. If you can keep an ebola patient's fluid levels steady, their chance of surviving is high.

    it doesn't have to be airborne to be a serious threat. the BS with which our dear leaders are responding to this makes you almost think it's intentional.
    Unless the doorknob was vomited on, ejaculated on, or bled on, and a person touched it with a untreated and unbandaged laceration, it won't spread. Ebola can not spread during it's incubation period.

    Yep.

    It's unfortunately the American/Allopathic "way" to diagnose and treat most medical ailments. 10 minute sit down with a doctor, and a prescription given at the end. Even for viral infections, of which antibiotics are of no use... which contributes heavily to the issue of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

    Thank goodness! Otherwise medical professionals would be saying health workers need optimal respiratory protection for Ebola.

    No need to worry -- Obama says we are all safe. We are supposed to be afraid of libertarians and Russians.

    It is the first WILD case of Ebola. The others were brought in under controlled conditions.

    Ambulance 37 which transported him to the hospital has been cordoned off. There are concerns after it was used to move patients for two days after the Ebola patient but hospital officials have reassured citizens that it was properly sterilized.
    http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/10/n...did-he-infect/

    then why "cordon it off" now? And what is "proper sterilization" for Ebola contamination?

    I'm sure it was intentional. I guess bird flu didn't freak everyone out well enough.

    It doesn't take a scientist to determine that we are at risk for an Ebola infection in the US, when the US hangs a neon sign on the front door soliciting Ebola victims to come to the US and run around for a while.

    At the press conference they are holding right now (in Dallas) the spokesmen for the Texas Health Institute said they have been training for Ebola for a long time. Yet this man came in and they sent him home with antibiotics.

    Yeah I know I feel safe. SMDH.

    DALLAS (AP) -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry says a handful of school-aged children who had contact with a man diagnosed with Ebola are being monitored.

    I'm sure people are regularly flying in and out of the airport, so it's not like Ebola can't spread all over the country. Ebola has wings.

    I wonder how many people from my area attended the Saints/Cowboys game in Dallas Sunday night? Probably no more than maybe 10,000 or 20,000 right?

    I've got nothing to worry about.

    so, this is how it all ends....damn....anti-climatic if you ask me. I was almost positive a large CME or GRB would take us out...but a silly virus?...

    oh well..

    There are no direct flights into Dallas from Liberia.

    I believe there were two to three stops (Heathrow, Brussels, ??). Another guy that came from Brussels is under observation, suspicion. plus, 5 children in four schools under observation.

    just $#@!ing great. i've got a colleague coming home from Mexico via....Dallas! this should be good....

    My sister was in this hospital two weeks ago. She has to see doctors at Presby. Dallas every two weeks since released from hospital. I told her she needs to stay away. Her immune system has been compromised due to a month long use of antibiotics. I hope and pray she takes heed.

    Get her on some probiotics. I ordered some Del Immune V.

    Be positive. Everyone won't die. Only about... well, maybe 70 or 80% of us. Maybe you'll be lucky.

    Yes! She finally started taking some probiotics (One Billion Organisms - Acidophius and Bifidum) last week. I had been on her even when she was in the hospital to get someone to get her some probiotics. The doctor and nurses kept on telling her that probiotics would cancel-out the antibiotics. It was extremely frustrating! She is also taking D3 (10,000 IU) now, too.


    ETA:

    Just got off the phone with her and she has a scheduled procedure Monday at this hospital. I asked her if there was any way she could change the venue. She said no, and was assured by the officials she has nothing to worry about they have the Ebola patient contained.

    Yeah, but the few who are left are going to be gathered into a "good" and a "bad" group, and the "good" group will be forced to go and confront the "bad" group, whereupon some crazy pyro who was with the "bad" group (but still unclear whether the pyro is really 'good' or 'bad' himself) will roll up with a nuclear bomb that will subsequently detonate and wipe out the "bad" group.

    Being the 20% who survive the superfever is only the beginning of the struggle...

    Practice some anxiety relieving meditations (I'm not joking). I hope you won't have to cancel your trip. Wait and see what happens in a few weeks.

    Going to go out on a limb here, and maybe some of you will be able to say "I told you so", but a year from now this will be long forgotten.

    I'm going to repeat what I said early on in this thread. I predict it will be something like the anthrax "scare" of 2001. We're in the fear-mongering phase right now where no one knows what to expect. In the end, we have long-forgotten the anthrax scare (except for conspiracy loons like me) but we haven't forgotten the civil liberties that whole mess took away...and some people did lose their lives over being exposed to anthrax.

    This will be similar. Enough people will die to cause Boobus to say "take my rights, please. I don't need 'em."
