First ebola case diagnosed in the US (DEAD 8.10.14)
 
Quote:

The United States now has one confirmed case of Ebola, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday, marking the first domestic appearance of the deadly virus that has ravaged swaths of continental Africa.

The as-yet unidentified patient is located in Dallas, officials say, effectively confirming a statement issued on Monday by Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. The organization said that an unnamed patient was being tested for Ebola and had been placed in "strict isolation" due to the patient's symptoms and recent travel history.

In a press conference, CDC Director Tom Frieden said the patient in question had been traveling in Liberia, where he may have contracted the disease. He returned to the United States on the 20th of September, after which he sought care.

Frieden attempted to assuage concerns about Ebola's contagious effect, saying that the virus was only spread through direct contact, and was not airborne. He vowed that officials would contain a potential spread.

"It is certainly possible that someone who had contact with this individual...could develop Ebola in the coming weeks," Frieden said, but added that "there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here," Frieden said.

Because if we banned all travel from Africa we'd be called racist.

Livia 02-10-2014 09:07 PM

If I was going to contract ebola I'd rather be in the USA than Africa, that's for sure.

BBfanUSA 02-10-2014 09:27 PM

I just read that he lied on his medical papers before flying. That's how he got in.

Indeed. The oft-quoted mortality rate for Ebola of 70 - 90% is taken from the actual death rates in outbreaks in Africa, usually in areas with poor sanitation and even poorer healthcare. The actual death rate even if the entire western world was to be exposed would be far lower (although still higher than anything we've seen before).

Also... from the original article... are we really calling < 10,000 in a population of 1.1 billion a "swathe", let alone "swathes"?

Also, if anyone here does happen to find themselves coming down with an unlikely case of Ebola, I suggest the first thing you do is flood yourself with high-dose Vitamin C. Your doctor won't tell you this... might even rubbish the theory... but the fact is, high-dose Vit C is incredible effective in deactivating viruses and the only reason this isn't widely discussed in the medical community, is that less effective Big Pharma **** like "Tamiflu" makes some very rich people even richer.

Perhaps flights to and from affected countries should be stopped.

It will due to Africa Traders

so you are safe

Northern Monkey 09-10-2014 08:52 AM

Why are we not already screening people from these areas at airports?It's idiotic not to.Do they want an outbreak over here?Can't mess around with things like this.

Flying here.


Stop all Flights

Yes it would be,but i can't see that happening.Money and trade are more important than our health in the eyes of the government imo.They won't want to lose all that money just to stop a few of us dying.When this goes out of control the men in charge will be saying things like "we made a mistake","we should have done more" and "we underestimated the severity of this" when they knew all along what was likely to happen.Imo.

Locke. 09-10-2014 09:56 AM

Nothing to worry about here. Move along.

BBfanUSA 09-10-2014 11:22 AM

Meh, Guy only died because he was released for two days. Not because of Ebola is Ebola.

Notice how the other people infected that were moved to the US haven't died yet.

Glenn. 09-10-2014 11:36 AM

Yes its Great they have meds that stop

Nedusa 09-10-2014 02:45 PM

Maybe a 3 week quarantine for everyone coming from an affected Country.

Ithinkiloveyoutoo 09-10-2014 09:05 PM

Dailymail-could isis use ebola as a way of infecting the west?

Researchers say Ebola could be airborne and mutate despite earlier claims it isn't airborne.

We're all going to die.:bawling::bawling: God wipe out the earth with water the first time, this time with ebola. :bawling: can I be noah? I've been good, kill everyone else.:bawling:

But seriously this ebola shiz is getting scary. I have a dry throat i'm wondering if it's ebola and yet i'm afraid to go the gp for fear of being infected there.
