Ebola: I See Dead People 2
Ebola: I See Dead People
Snippet:
…Far as travel to and from the rest of Africa is concerned, it also needs to be curtailed drastically. Non-essential travel like Tourism needs to be ended until the Pandemic is brought under control. Land transmission across borders there is quite easy, and folks with means in Guinea for instance who want to GTFO of Dodge will sneak across borders by land, get fake passports in another African country, and then make the trip somewhere else outside of Africa. If only 1 in 100 of those is an Ebola Carrier still asymptomatic, they will bring the disease wherever they go to.
Of course, nothing of the sort here in terms of real restrictions on travel has been implemented as of yet, and beyond that the response from all major Goobermints has been pathetically slow and ineffective, well evidenced here in the FSoA by the stupid pronouncements from POTUS Telepromptus Obama-sama reassuring Amerikans we got nothing to worry about here, Please Move Along. Obama-sama is about as convincing these days as Lieutenant Draben Leslie Nielsen in Police Squad. Why this absurd posturing when you have a clearly out of control problem?…
For the rest, LISTEN TO THE RANT!!!

2nd Case in Texas CONFIRMED
Second Texas health worker tests positive for Ebola

Second Texas Healthcare Worker Tests Positive For Ebola

And then there were three.
As the Texas Department of State Health reported an hour ago, just three days after the shocking announcement that the late Thomas Eric Duncan had managed to infect one nurse in the first person-to-person transmission of Ebola on US ground, a second Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital worker has been infected with the deadly virus.
From the official statement:
Second Health Care Worker Tests Positive for Ebola
News Release
Oct. 15, 2014
A second health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital who provided care for the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States has tested positive for the disease.
The health care worker reported a fever Tuesday and was immediately isolated at the hospital.
Health officials have interviewed the latest patient to quickly identify any contacts or potential exposures, and those people will be monitored. The type of monitoring depends on the nature of their interactions and the potential they were exposed to the virus.
The worker was among those who took care of Thomas Eric Duncan after he was diagnosed with Ebola.
The preliminary Ebola test was run late Tuesday at the state public health laboratory in Austin, and results were received at about midnight.
Confirmatory testing on a separate specimen will be conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
Ebola is spread through direct contact with bodily fluids of a sick person or exposure to contaminated objects such as needles. People are not contagious before symptoms such as fever develop.
Surely the CDC’s Tom Frieden will say this is perfectly expected: after all the CDC, which promised it would “stop Ebola in its tracks in the US” just two weeks ago, changed its tune and said to expect more cases.
As of this moment, equity futures are not happy, and certainly not transports, which after a seesaw session in which airline stocks rebounded following a deep oversold condition, are about to become even more oversold as the US public responds to increasingly unpleasant Ebola pandemic news by deciding to “just stay home this weekend.”
And now we await the CDC to explain how this is all due to another breach in protocol for a disease which still is clearly not airborne.
Ebola is BACK!

Brooklyn Woman On Ebola Monitoring List Drops Dead Bleeding From “Face, Mouth, Nose”
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/18/2014 22:02 -0500
Just a week after Dr. Craig Spencer was declared ‘Ebola-free’, The Daily Mail reports a woman, who had arrived from Guinea 18 days ago (and was on the NYC Ebola monitoring list), dropped dead in a Brooklyn hair salon this afternoon. FDNY sent their Special Operations and Hazmat units but she was declared dead at the scene. Witnesses said she was bleeding from the “face, nose, mouth, everything.”
As The Daily Mail reports,
There are new fears of a possible Ebola outbreak in New York City after a woman dropped dead on Tuesday afternoon.
FDNY activated the Special Operations and Hazmat units after the the woman, who had recently traveled from Guinea according to a source on the scene, died at Amy Professional African Hair Braiding in Brooklyn.
He then said he ran in there to find a woman laying on the floor.
When asked what she was bleeding from, Costa said, ‘face, nose, mouth, everything.’
Meanwhile, members of FDNY could be seen carefully changing into Hazmat gear outside before heading into the establishment, for what they referred to as a ‘fever travel illness.’
At the same time, individuals could be seen walking in and out of Amy Professional African Hair Braidig wearing no protection at all.
It had been reported in October that an FDNY memo instructed all personnel to use more vague terms when discussing Ebola, such as ‘fever travel incident.’
According to a source who was on the scene, the incident occurred just after 3:00 in the afternoon, and the woman was pronounced dead on arrival.
As ABC reports, the woman was on the NYC monitoring list…

ABC7 reports further that,
The remains of a woman who died of an apparent heart attack at a hair salon in Brooklyn will be tested for Ebola.
EMS responded to the hair salon on Belmont Avenue in Brownsville around 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
She was declared dead at the scene.
The woman had been on the list of those being monitored for Ebola exposure.
She had recently arrived in the city from Guinea and was one of 350 people on the monitor list.
The New York City Health Department said at last check the woman did not have symptoms and was being monitored because of her travel history.
She had been back in the country for 18 days.
Test results are expected back late Tuesday or early Wednesday.
The question now is if she tests positive will we hear about it?
Probably they can keep a lid on it until a White NYFD EMT or NYPD Gestapo Agent goes out bleeding from the eyeballs. Long as it’s only Black emigrees from Sierra Leone and Guinea, it’s not a problem
When it jumps to the white community and goes Local, it’s PANIC time.
