Rachael123 (OP) User ID: 59364865 United States 07/31/2014 09:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Guidelines warn of 'severe, often-fatal disease' Read more at [link to mobile.wnd.com] NEW YORK – Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is on record that Ebola poses little risk to the U.S. population, the agency still published guidance for airline flight crews, cleaning personnel and cargo workers regarding safe handling of infected passengers. The advisory begins by describing Ebola as “a severe, often-fatal disease” that while rare, can spread from person to person, especially among health-care staff and other people who have close contact with an infected person. The advisory then notes the likelihood of contracting Ebola is extremely low unless a person has direct contact with the bodily fluids of a person or animal that is infected and showing symptoms. Trying to dampen fears of travel to West Africa, the location of the current outbreak, the advisory comments that a fever in a person who has traveled or lived in an area where Ebola is present is “likely to be caused by a more common infectious disease, but the person would need to be evaluated by a health care provider to be sure.” To assist in the identification of Ebola symptoms, the CDC provided the following description of how the infection operates: The incubation period, from exposure to when signs or symptoms appear, for Ebola ranges from 2 to 21 days. Early symptoms include sudden fever, chills, and muscle aches. Around the fifth day, a skin rash can occur. Nausea, vomiting, chest pain, sore throat, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may follow. Symptoms become increasingly severe and may include jaundice (yellow skin), severe weight loss, mental confusion, shock, and multi-organ failure. Read more at [link to mobile.wnd.com] |

President Ernest Bai Koroma said the measures resembled a tough anti-Ebola package announced by neighbouring Liberia last night. Koroma also announced he was cancelling a visit to Washington for a U.S.-Africa summit next week because of the crisis. The move came as world's premier health charity issued a grave warning about the likely spread of the deadly Ebola virus - an epidemic it fears 'can only get worse'. Doctors Without Borders (aka Médecins Sans Frontières [MSF]) says the threat of the disease spreading beyond western Africa, where it was first detected in Guinea in February, is frighteningly real and said it was 'absolutely out of control'.

Kill rate is 60-90 and in this case reason that death rate is about 60 is that patients came every day more and they count them too. I have heard couple people who have survived. Something tells that main ebola doctor dies also this virus and he get help really soon. You really dont have 40% chance to survive if you get this one... |

Rachael123 (OP) User ID: 59364865 United States 07/31/2014 10:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A top official at the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research, Yaba, Lagos, has said that one of the people who helped the 40-year-old Liberian, Patrick Sawyer, on the Monrovia-Lome and Lome-Lagos flight may have been infected with the virus. The reliable source, who is also on the team of experts monitoring the testing and surveillance of persons who have had contact with the late Liberian victim in Lagos, told our correspondent on Wednesday, that although they had yet to confirm, the person was showing feverish symptoms similar to that of Ebola virus. He said, “We are still investigating and monitoring those who had first contact with Sawyer. One of the people who helped him off the plane is showing signs of fever, a symptom of Ebola. We have isolated them and we are carrying out various tests to establish if it is Ebola or not.” However, when contacted the Special Adviser to the Governor on Public Health, Dr. Yewande Adeshina, denied that none of the people that had been isolated at the Infectious Disease Hospital, Yaba, was sick.

We all know from past experiences that the CDC and WHO are liars, they will drag this out till doomsday..best to get all your ducks in a row and be watchful of what is not being said rather then what is being said and remember it is never a case of who,what, where but when It only takes one person, on one plane or transport system..or for the upper thinkers to miss a key point and this could be global in a matter of 2 days I highly suggest that all of you think of this as a pre Christmas run..check the pandemic list and check it twice for the supplies you will need... As I head of to get yet one of the jobs done on my list of just in case this turns bad fast |
