OHIOANS THREAD! New Ebola Victim has relatives at KENT STATE UNIVERSITY

I didn't know that policy. Two of my good friends work at OSU Medical Center. I don't plan on seeing them anytime in the near future for obvious reasons.

Thank you...:)

Was just going to post that same link!

If you scroll down, says Amber visited family members in Tallmadge, which is 5.67 miles from downtown Kent. My daughter shops there and in Stowe.

My body temperature is 97.9 for me that would be low grade fever..

chronic low blood sugar?

You mean someone is actually taking the public good into consideration without being in political correct paralysis and indecision ?

A friend of a friend was on that flight with this nurse.
A coworker's wife works at Kent.

I guess I'll be bringing the tomato plants in now.

MoS

Still "safe" on the North Coast???

I go to Kent State and live in Twinsburg. I am afraid.

Ah crap! What about for fever reduction/pain relief (assuming you DON'T have Ebola)?

I kind of hate taking pills, and I don't really trust Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen...always thought Apririn was more "natural" and more "safe."

But I'm obviously no expert and open to the advice.

I have lots of family in Streetsboro, Kent and Stow. Notifying them all now.

Update 4:21 p.m.

"Angela DeJulius, chief university physician at Kent State, said the university has no specific plans to sanitize or cleanse the Kent State faculty members' desks that were relatives of the KSU grad diagnosed with Ebola at this time. DeJulius says not necessary at this point.

DeJulius said because the employes are on a self-monitoring leave, Ebola is very of low low risk to anyone on campus.

She said the university has protocols in place to handle any communicable disease. DeJulius instructed that anyone who has a high fever or any symptoms of Ebola to come to DeWeese Health Center for evaluation."

Jesus. What wrong with wiping down desk with bleach???
How does she know its not necessary????????
Amber was on self monitoring 21 day leave as well from the hospital.

No Worries there! Phew!

SO.....obviously the 3 had desk jobs of some sort..

from www.kentwired.com

Update 4:11 p.m.

The Crisis Action System, a state emergency monitoring system, has been updated to level 1, which means Portage County is aware of Ebola situation and is monitoring it, said Ryan Shackelford, Portage County Emergency Management Director.

The county's emergency management department has sent out information packets about Ebola to EMS and fire departments in the county. The departments have been notified to ask questions related to Ebola symptoms.

Exactly. I live in Mentor and this has me VERY nervous.

wonder if she went to cedar point

No aspirin--it's a blood thinner, the last thing a person with a hemorrhagic disease needs! Use Tylenol or the generic. All other NSAIDS are blood thinners.

Kent State University, Kent Campus

United States, Ohio, Kent

Operates as a clean lab at level 3 for training purposes. Scheduled for conversion to a hot level 4 lab in response to a bioterrorism event in the USA.

Coincidence?????

I am from Cuyahoga Falls, but do not live there. Still it is where my heart is.

OP take care. you have good GLPers in your area. I hope some of them chime in and that you all watch out, because NO ONE else is going to do it for you.

Good luck to you. I really mean it.

Appreciate it! I will modify the list. I just got back from Walmart.

I am pretty sure the stores are gearing up for everything. You know how they sometimes have those displays with Halloween candy in the fall or sunscreen in the summer in the middle of the aisles. Well when I went to Walmart I noticed ALL of those little displays were BLEACH, CANNED FOODS, MEDICINE, and SANITATION SUPPLIES. I found this very suspicious.

Since she should have been taking her temperature twice a day for the past 2 1/2 weeks, she should know what her "normal" temperature is.

Deploy the National Guard to Kent State University!

Oh wait, bad idea. Flashbacks from 1970.

I'm from Portage County, Ohio (Kent area - native of Mantua, OH) and have friends and family all over Portage County, Summit County, and Cuyahoga County ... in Cleveland, Akron, Mantua and others.

I'm not worried, but WHOOSH, like a bullet coming too close.

bullshit. at 99 degrees,taken orally or on the forehead, a rectal temp of 100 is likely.

That is fever.

Older people do not mount the same robust high fever as kids.
And others simply have a lower body temperature baseline to begin with.

99 is hot enough for many people to feel the need to lie down and rest - which is one way fever is trying to heal you.

Vitamin C, lots of it. Do not take asprin if you suspect ebola, it thins the blood. Do not stop diarrhea if you suspect ebola, it keeps the virus in the body longer.

Look up Selenium and hemorragic fevers. Careful with that stuff.

IV needles and lactated ringers if you can get them. Need a script for the ringers.

They have not banned students from attending college here in MN. We just got a batch from Sierra Leon and had a staff meeting to discuss concerns.

This university has over 50,000 students. We only need one infected student to cause a disaster. Can you imagine how it will spread with 600 students attending class in just one of the halls. What about the dorms.

Parents you should be concerned. The liberals at the college think the CDC is wise and trustworthy.

I can not give any more details.

I'm in Stow. Tallmadge and Kent are right next to me. I work by the airport and deal with a lot of people who work at the airport and many other highly visited locations on a daily basis. My girlfriend goes to KSU. Never thought shit like this would be so close to home once I moved here from Chicago. Felt safer out here. HA!


Anyways, the area in Tallmadge where this dumb ass stayed is basically cordoned off as a "precautionary" measure. Also, KSU refused to release the names of the 3 faculty. Though I'm sure we'll get those names in a day or 2 somehow.

Akron here.

Can't believe this woman was so stupid. She should lose her license to practice. I'm staying home unless I need to go out.

She was in Tallmadge, too. His home has been taped off because of it & he is in self quarantine. This is way too close for comfort.

TALLMADGE, Ohio -- The home where Dallas nurse Amber Joy Vinson stayed last weekend, before being diagnosed with Ebola, has been cordoned off by police.

Agreed. She should be prosecuted as well for her actions imo. I'm not freaking out yet, but I would be willing to bet that she has infected 1-5 people on her visit. Either at her parents house or in the airport leaving here. And from there....who knows.
