Dallas, TX hospital isolates possible Ebola patient / CDC sending a team to Dallas! EBOLA CONFIRMED!

anyone hear the comment the cdc director made about us all breathing the same air? wTF?

I am waiting for 2 of my sons to get home from work. One works at a one of the biggest insurance co's. Not texting or calling either so I can get an honest feel for their reaction when they get home.

Oh and another away at college, south of Ft. Worth. Gonna wait on that son, too

Any hospital could care for Ebola patients??
Ebola is a class 4 pathgein....

Yeah, that put a pucker where the sun don't shine. That's 2 contacts with medical personnel and facilities while he was contagious. As far as the four days? Mystery. Way too much mystery at this point.

Dr. Friesen just said this patient came here to visit relatives.

prolly at home feeling shitty... but how'd he get there? did he take dart? dammit this blows!

Exactly. And how did he get there? Taxi? Bus?

Remember how many people Sawyer infected in his taxi rides and hospital visits.

from wikipedia (admittedly, this isn't brilliantly worded imho):

Yes that's what he said..he also said investigation just begin TODAY

So the two ER visits would render the only exposed to a handful of people a lie.....The visits alone exposed many more than a handful and the guy went twice....then figure in people sick in ER who's defenses are down.

There shouldn't even be a question on releasing his flight itinerary.

One thing to keep in mind is that the Chief Information Officer at the White House is heading the control of the outbreak in the US.

Exactly, they are lying by saying only a handful, that's impossible with just the ER visits, then add all the other contacts he had from the 20-28th

Yea this guy is full of shit. When he dodged a question like that..ugh.. I bet this dude was out and about.

It would be interesting to see if they had numbers to show what they mean by "low exposure" (i/e what percentage chance do you have of catching it from that)



I would imagine most hospitals have some procedures in place to deal with it.

Fluid? You mean like microscopic droplets all over the toilet and bathroom from projectile diarrhea, that will infect the next person that sits on the toilet seat?

You realize it only takes ONE virus to infect you with Ebola right? And that the Ebola virus lives on surfaces for days, right? And there's thousands of them in a droplet that is smaller than you can see right?

Oh, and that person who sat on the toilet seat after the guy infected with Ebola with the projectile diarrhea? They will then get on another plane and sit on that toilet seat and transfer the virus to it.

Forgot to add, will update with any info I hear of

The State Fair of Texas, in Dallas, began.... get this, 4 days ago.

He's not an American?? Where did you read that?

So much dodging and spin and damage control.

We (as a nation) should have been on this shit back in fecking MARCH. Too little too late and now it falls squarely on the shoulders of Obama's whitehouse and congress. They were warned, just like ISIS. Didn't fit the fucking spin.

GAH.

Remember, everyone, the CDC is a for profit business.

The guy on the livestream told us that.

Looks like
Jet blue
Royal
And American airlines fly from monroiva to dallas

I think it was the 26th, the first time he came in

He was visiting family members in this country....didn't just say Dallas

He is not American, keeps saying he is effing visiting family...will only identify flight IF THEY THINK ITS A RISK AND THEY DON'T THINK IT IS AT THIS POINT

for those that say its not airborn.

When you exhale, micro droplets of water are exhaled as well. The virus can survive in these droplets for hours.

Ever clean your glasses by blowing on them?

Thats contagious.

How can he say there is zero chance of transmission???

Presby is one notch down from highest trama level.

To calm people down probably.
