Someone needs firing. Man without protection helping 2nd nurse and handling waste before boarding

[AceRothstein]

Was it the doctor who survived Ebola? I read survivors are immune from the same strain re-infecting them.

 

[dannyboys]

The US could send 30-50 thousand troops to W.A. to attempt to contain Ebola.
Won't happen.......ever. The W. africans don't have the collective IQ of a slice of Wonderbread.
In villages everywhere they are still literally sleeping with the dead ebola family members.
They actually believe the US troops are attempting to kill them by bringing the virus from the US.
This is what happens when there are millions of people one small step from living in the stone age.

Ebola is uncontrollable in the U.S. This virus has very big chance of spreading to America. And our airports are still open. What's going on?!

What do we know about Ebola transmission?

No one knows for certain how Ebola virus is transmitted from one person to the next. The virus has been found in the saliva, stool, breast milk, semen, and blood of infected persons.8,9 Studies of transmission in Ebola virus outbreaks have identified activities like caring for an infected person, sharing a bed, funeral activities, and contact with blood or other body fluids to be key risk factors for transmission.10-12

On the basis of epidemiologic evidence, it has been presumed that Ebola viruses are transmitted by contaminated hands in contact with the mouth or eyes or broken skin or by splashes or sprays of body fluids into these areas. Ebola viruses appear to be capable of initiating infection in a variety of human cell types,13,14 but the primary portal or portals of entry into susceptible hosts have not been identified.

Some pathogens are limited in the cell type and location they infect. Influenza, for example, is generally restricted to respiratory epithelial cells, which explains why flu is primarily a respiratory infection and is most likely aerosol transmissible. HIV infects T-helper cells in the lymphoid tissues and is primarily a bloodborne pathogen with low probability for transmission via aerosols.

Ebola virus, on the other hand, is a broader-acting and more non-specific pathogen that can impede the proper functioning of macrophages and dendritic cells—immune response cells located throughout the epithelium.15,16 Epithelial tissues are found throughout the body, including in the respiratory tract. Ebola prevents these cells from carrying out their antiviral functions but does not interfere with the initial inflammatory response, which attracts additional cells to the infection site. The latter contribute to further dissemination of the virus and similar adverse consequences far beyond the initial infection site.

The potential for transmission via inhalation of aerosols, therefore, cannot be ruled out by the observed risk factors or our knowledge of the infection process. Many body fluids, such as vomit, diarrhea, blood, and saliva, are capable of creating inhalable aerosol particles in the immediate vicinity of an infected person. Cough was identified among some cases in a 1995 outbreak in Kikwit, Democratic Republic of the Congo,11 and coughs are known to emit viruses in respirable particles.17 The act of vomiting produces an aerosol and has been implicated in airborne transmission of gastrointestinal viruses.18,19 Regarding diarrhea, even when contained by toilets, toilet flushing emits a pathogen-laden aerosol that disperses in the air.20-22

Experimental work has shown that Marburg and Ebola viruses can be isolated from sera and tissue culture medium at room temperature for up to 46 days, but at room temperature no virus was recovered from glass, metal, or plastic surfaces.23 Aerosolized (1-3 mcm) Marburg, Ebola, and Reston viruses, at 50% to 55% relative humidity and 72°F, had biological decay rates of 3.04%, 3.06%. and 1.55% per minute, respectively. These rates indicate that 99% loss in aerosol infectivity would occur in 93, 104, and 162 minutes, respectively.23

In still air, 3-mcm particles can take up to an hour to settle. With air currents, these and smaller particles can be transported considerable distances before they are deposited on a surface.

There is also some experimental evidence that Ebola and other filoviruses can be transmitted by the aerosol route. Jaax et al24 reported the unexpected death of two rhesus monkeys housed approximately 3 meters from monkeys infected with Ebola virus, concluding that respiratory or eye exposure to aerosols was the only possible explanation.

Zaire Ebola viruses have also been transmitted in the absence of direct contact among pigs25 and from pigs to non-human primates,26 which experienced lung involvement in infection. Persons with no known direct contact with Ebola virus disease patients or their bodily fluids have become infected.12

Direct injection and exposure via a skin break or mucous membranes are the most efficient ways for Ebola to transmit. It may be that inhalation is a less efficient route of transmission for Ebola and other filoviruses, as lung involvement has not been reported in all non-human primate studies of Ebola aerosol infectivity.27 However, the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems are not complete barriers to Ebola virus. Experimental studies have demonstrated that it is possible to infect non-human primates and other mammals with filovirus aerosols.25-27

Altogether, these epidemiologic and experimental data offer enough evidence to suggest that Ebola and other filoviruses may be opportunistic with respect to aerosol transmission.28 That is, other routes of entry may be more important and probable, but, given the right conditions, it is possible that transmission could also occur via aerosols.

Guidance from the CDC and WHO recommends the use of facemasks for healthcare workers providing routine care to patients with Ebola virus disease and respirators when aerosol-generating procedures are performed. (Interestingly, the 1998 WHO and CDC infection-control guidance for viral hemorrhagic fevers in Africa, still available on the CDC Web site, recommends the use of respirators.)

Facemasks, however, do not offer protection against inhalation of small infectious aerosols, because they lack adequate filters and do not fit tightly against the face.1 Therefore, a higher level of protection is necessary.

21 Days Not A Long Enough Quarantine For Ebola, New Study Suggests

A 21 day quarantine, after being infected with the Ebola virus, has become the standard quarantine recommendation for avoiding the spread of the virus.

That’s not long enough to eliminate the risk, suggested a new study published yesterday in PLOS Currents: Outbreaks.

By looking at data from past Ebola outbreaks, as well as the first nine months of the current Ebola outbreak, Drexel University environmental engineering professor

Dr. Charles Haas pointed out that between 0.1 and 12 percent of the time, the incubation period for someone infected with Ebola was longer than 21 days.

The 0.1 figure comes from the 1976 Ebola outbreak in Zaire, which had far fewer cases analyzed than the other Ebola outbreaks looked at in this study that have had a higher number of cases with longer incubation periods, such as the Ebola outbreak in Congo in 1995 and the current outbreak in West Africa.

“While the 21-day quarantine value, currently used, may have arisen from reasonable interpretation of early outbreak data, this work suggests reconsideration is in order and that 21 days might not be sufficiently protective of public health,” wrote Haas in the study.

That's funny..in a way..did you see this?
is Ebola Racist or is America Racist FrontPage Magazine


Jesse Jackson and the Liberian moochers taken in as refugees are seizing their opportunity.

Josephus Weeks, Duncan’s nephew, said that it was “conspicuous” that all the white Ebola patients in the U.S. survived “and the one black man died.”

“I feel he should have been treated better the first time around. He’s the only person that has died from Ebola here in America. He’s a black man. He’s poor. Didn’t have insurance. Came for a visit and went to the hospital. If he were a different name or color he probably would have been living today.”

That’s a great point, but I think we need to dig deeper and ask, why are most of the Ebola deaths of Africans? Is it possible that the Ebola virus is racist?

There are some theories that the Ebola virus was created by the CIA/NSA at Area 51 and since Area 51 is a product of White Supremacy, that would make Ebola clearly racist. But even if we assume that the Ebola virus developed naturally, it’s entirely possible that it’s still racist.

We know that Ebola infects white blood cells which then help shut down the immune system. Is it possible that the white blood cells are more eager to help kill black people than white people? For those of us organic public intellectuals who understand the workings of white supremacy, this is typical of the workings of white privilege.

The white Ebola patients who survived remain unaware of their white blood cell privilege and need to be educated on this score.

It’s obvious that nothing happens except as a function of white supremacy and we must therefore recognize that everything that happened here is another reminder that racism continues to pervade America and the viral kingdom.

They said that to George Washington after he crushed a tax protest with military force, to John Adams when he appointed a bunch of people last-minute before the end of his single term of office (as well as when he made criticism of the government illegal), to Thomas "Free Trade" Jefferson when he fucked his own legacy and enacted his famous embargo, etc.

Most presidents are reviled during their terms of office. During 1980's, Wrong Old Ray Gun was hated by conservatards; today, he is openly worshiped by them. Even Newt "Jellyroll" Gingrich publicly criticized Reagan while he was in office, but today is one of his most virulent advocates.

The same is true of President Obama. The second he leaves office, his value will appreciate exponentially. I guarantee you that you will die knowing that plans are being made by the government to carve President Obama's flawless face into the side of Mount Rushmore, and your passing will be made all the more peaceful by this knowledge. In time, you will forget your irrational hatred of President Obama and will come to understand our legal lord and secular savior better, eventually embracing him as your own messiah as I have.

Anyone, any pyrsyn on the Earth at all, who understand history will agree with my statements, which are objectively true.

CDC - Climate and Health Program - Homepage
They are working on saving the world from climate change, just like nasa, dod, epa, hhs, etc.

The CDC has yet to take charge and start laying down strict rules for everyone to prevent the spread of disease. That is their job. It's the reason they exist. Are they waiting for orders from Obama or are they supposed to be jumping into action on their own? There should already be a clear plan for dealing with any contagious disease so why aren't we hearing about it? Obama says they will watch the situation more closely. How about coming out and informing the country about what Ebola is, how it is spread, precautions everyone should take and signs to look for if you think you have it? Hospitals need to be in the loop about potential cases and precautions they need to take. They have to be prepared since no one knows where the next patient will show up. Information and caution would do a lot towards easing panic and stopping the spread of Ebola and other illnesses. We still have the mysterious respiratory illness and there has been very little info released on that.

 

[depotoo]

They actually have and the US attempted to follow their model. Unfortunately though, they failed to take into account our land area vs. that of Nigeria and the fact we are a mobile nation, Nigeria-not so much. Thusly it didn't work for us like it did there. Common sense is not their strongesuit.
