Gambia: no passengers from Ebola-hit areas

"Gambian authorities have written a letter to airlines flying into the West African country saying they cannot pick up passengers from countries where there have been suspected cases of Ebola."

"A letter from the Gambian Transport Ministry addressed to four airlines instructs them not to pick up passengers in the capitals of Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone. The letter, dated April 10, was obtained Monday by The Associated Press."

do they have UV lights on these planes to help disinfect them when not in use, for 12-24 hours on a broad spectrum inside the aircraft and possibly aiports!!
UV lights do help kill contagions!,we just don't ever get a chance to clean enough in high human traffic ares that help spread disease!!

Thread: Measles Outbreak Traced To Fully Vaccinated Patient...

[link to news.sciencemag.org]

"Get the measles vaccine, and you won’t get the measles—or give it to anyone else. Right? Well, not always. A person fully vaccinated against measles has contracted the disease and passed it on to others. The startling case study contradicts received wisdom about the vaccine and suggests that a recent swell of measles outbreaks in developed nations could mean more illnesses even among the vaccinated..."

....

"That’s why a fully vaccinated 22-year-old theater employee in New York City who developed the measles in 2011 was released without hospitalization or quarantine. But like Typhoid Mary, this patient turned out to be unwittingly contagious. Ultimately, she transmitted the measles to four other people, according to a recent report in Clinical Infectious Diseases that tracked symptoms in the 88 people with whom “Measles Mary” interacted while she was sick. Surprisingly, two of the secondary patients had been fully vaccinated. And although the other two had no record of receiving the vaccine, they both showed signs of previ
ous measles exposure that should have conferred immunity."

I'll take that as proof positive that we're being lied to.

Also, as I previously pointed out, hand-to-hand goods will be tightly controlled in order to curtail the outbreak. They'll have to, or the effort is pointless.

Think about it - one infected newspaper vendor, perspiring out in the heat of the day, selling hundreds of newspapers each day, and every paper contaminated with his virus-laden perspiration...

In just 3 days he could sell well over 1000 newspapers. And each paper could potentially infect 2 people (buyer plus a second-hand reader, etc.)

You see why modeling it is such a challenge... you're trying to describe many millions of individual human chaotic behaviors with rules-based modeling techniques.

From AllAfrica.com - Health Minister of Guinea has expressed serious opposition to the decision taken by neighboring Senegal to close its land borders with Guinea during the recent outbreak of the Ebola hemorrhagic fever (Ebola HF) in Guinea.

According to Dr. Remy Lamah, the closure of the borders was the least of all options that any country would have taken.

He pointed out that the closure of borders by any country poses more problems because, according to him, people who use illegal or unofficial point of entry would escalate and they wouldn't be monitored.

The Guinea's Health Minister was speaking Friday, April 11, 2014 at the start of a six-day Assembly of ECOWAS Health Ministers (AHM) hosted by Liberia.

The meeting, which is being held at the Golden Gate Hotel in Paynesville, outside Monrovia, brings together ministers of health of the West African sub-region.
50% Rule applied - RTWT [link to allafrica.com]

And from CNN - With Ebola, there is an incubation period of two to 21 days. Remember these numbers. This is the range of time it takes to develop symptoms after someone has been exposed.
With an international airport close by, that means you could be on the other side of the world before you develop the headache, fever, fatigue and joint pain which make up the early symptoms of an Ebola infection. The diarrhea, rash and bleeding come later. Hiccups is a particularly grave sign with Ebola. It means your diaphragm, which allows you to breathe, is starting to get irritated.
There is a lot we know about Ebola, and it scares us almost as much as what we don't know.

Liberia: Ebola Kills Two Health Workers

BY WINSTON W. PARLEY, 14 APRIL 2014
[link to allafrica.com]

Two health workers here are reported to have died from the deadly Ebola virus since its spread here from Guinea, the National Health Workers Association of Liberia or NAHWAL has said. As at Wednesday, April 9, 2014, the World Health Organization or WHO said Ebola death toll in Liberia had reached 12, with over 100 in neighboring Guinea.

A statement read Thursday, April 10 at a news conference by NAHWAL President Mr. Joseph S. Tamba says two health workers in Foya Boma Hospital, Lofa County, Mr. Robinson Lenden- NA and Mr. James Daah-BSN contracted the Ebola virus and died while saving lives. The death of the two health workers has forced NAHWAL to advance several demands, including incentives and benefits for health workers across the country.

Mr. Tamba who termed the death of their colleagues as tragedy said their deaths show how vulnerable health workers in the country are, adding that those who work tirelessly to keep the nation and its people healthy be sufficiently protected and not be allowed to die due to "unnecessary lack of such common things as examination gloves or soap and running water to wash hands."

Boston Considers Banning Deadliest Pathogens From New Biolab

Boston is set this week to debate whether to ban a new, downtown biodefense laboratory from studying some of the world's deadliest disease agents.

A Wednesday city council hearing is expected to consider a proposed citywide prohibition on so-called "Biosafety Level 4" research, which can involve diseases for which there are no known cures. The initiative marks the latest local pushback against Boston University's effort to pursue the sensitive pathogen studies at its recently completed National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories.

In his draft ordinance, Councilor Charles Yancey said conducting such research at the site could enable an agent such as Ebola or Marburg to escape into the city, either by accident or deliberate action.

"I am not convinced we really need to invite that possibility to the city of Boston," Yancey told the Boston Globe in remarks published in a Sunday editorial.

Also from the CNN article:

For the next 21 days (the outer range of the incubation period) the woman we saw will be monitored for a fever or any early signs she may have contracted Ebola from her husband. If she exhibits symptoms, she will be isolated and treated with fluids, oxygen and nutrition.

"It took only moments to feel the impact of what was happening here.

We had just landed in Conakry, the capital of Guinea. In the fields right outside the airport, a young woman was in tears. She started to wail and shout in Susu, one of the 40 languages spoken in this tiny country of 12 million people.

The gathered crowd became silent and listened intently.
The young man sitting next to me quietly translated, although I already had my suspicions. He told me the woman's husband had died of Ebola, and then quickly ushered us away.
"

"It has gone "viral," and now the hope is that it doesn't go global."

It begs credulity that anyone with any connection to Ebola would even open their mouth, let alone be conveniently located, weeping and wailing, next to the airport Gypta is arriving at. Did he mention that this shit is not only in Guinea? Looks like the part with "Remember these numbers" got edited out. Dafuq that's supposed to mean?

And let me throw in "emerging diseases." Who they think they're fooling?

Yeah that was the first thing I thought. One of two things happened there.

1. Gupta was making the whole thing up. Grandstanding, in desperate need of a story OR

2. The thing has become so out of control, that the who has NOT tracked down all family members (not even close) associated with people who've died of ebola.

Seriously, the guy probably took a few weeks to die and his wife is out crying at an airport? WTF?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55528017


Also from the CNN article:

For the next 21 days (the outer range of the incubation period) the woman we saw will be monitored for a fever or any early signs she may have contracted Ebola from her husband. If she exhibits symptoms, she will be isolated and treated with fluids, oxygen and nutrition.

It may not be an ideal location, but she is apparently under observation.

Boston Considers Banning Deadliest Pathogens From New Biolab

Boston is set this week to debate whether to ban a new, downtown biodefense laboratory from studying some of the world's deadliest disease agents.

A Wednesday city council hearing is expected to consider a proposed citywide prohibition on so-called "Biosafety Level 4" research, which can involve diseases for which there are no known cures. The initiative marks the latest local pushback against Boston University's effort to pursue the sensitive pathogen studies at its recently completed National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories.

In his draft ordinance, Councilor Charles Yancey said conducting such research at the site could enable an agent such as Ebola or Marburg to escape into the city, either by accident or deliberate action.

"I am not convinced we really need to invite that possibility to the city of Boston," Yancey told the Boston Globe in remarks published in a Sunday editorial.

This Level 4 is smack dab in the middle of Boston.
