The US is like a human walking around ($17T economy, $500B defense spending) that steps on an ant (ISIS) and didn't even realize they stepped on the ant.

Woops, dead ant.

But if you want to turn them into a super funded group that combines all the best traits of the Illuminati, Blackwater, ISI, KGB, Al-Qaeda and Columbian Drug Cartels and who has done all sorts of damage to the US homeland...wait, I mean will do all sorts of damage to the US homeland (I hear they have a plan to put a bomb on a plane: treat as top secret), if that's what you put together from the information that's out there, well ok then.

Yep. Obama nipped that one right in the bud.

You're just all grumpy to wake up from an afternoon nap and discover yourself on the front lines of the attack of the Texas Ebola.

If Ebola was to pop up anywhere in the US, my money was on Louisiana. Texas was a close second though.

I think that might be racist.

Live free or die dammit!

Not worried at all. patient will be in isolation for at least 4 wks if he/she survives. Most hospitals have been prepping for this for weeks. I do worry that the patient is at community hospital, which typically does not have the same level of resources for the type of isolation needed compared to say, UT Southwestern. Not just equipment, but staffing, Infectious disease expertise, etc.

The bigger hassle will be this patient's secondary contacts, who will now have to go into isolation for at least 5 days until they test comes back ruling in or out Ebola. And locating them.

This patient just returned from Liberia, and then got sick here. Hope no one here was on the airline passenger manifest.

I think we should nuke Hope Solo's vagina from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I thought "Dancing With the Stars" took care of that for us already. Dammit.

I like to edit the above...Ebola patients are not contagious in the symptomatic stages. So if this patient didn't become symptomatic until arriving in Dallas, all of those in the airplane and in Brussels are fine.

I have some more good into that came across my email today that ill post when I get to a real computer and not a mobile.

Also, "probably" stands as the qualifier. Who knows, perhaps ISIS will become something other than dudes in the Euphrates river valley with AKs.

They've also been targeted by the widest coalition force, countries with all sorts of differing foreign policies. ISIS is not a legitimate threat to the United States and the west.

Ebola Virus Disease Update
New information for September 30, 2014: According to U.S. CDC, 1 imported laboratory-confirmed case of Ebola virus disease (EVD) has been reported in Dallas, Texas State, on September 30, 2014. This is the first ever Ebola Zaire infection diagnosed outside of Africa. The African traveler was asymptomatic on commercial flights from Liberia to the U.S. on September 19 and 20, became symptomatic with fever and vomiting on September 24, sought hospital care but was released on September 26, and was subsequently admitted to the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas on September 28. He is known to have stayed with family in the Dallas area, and initial indications are of limited community contact, although the epidemiological investigation has just been initiated. EVD is not contagious during the asymptomatic phase. All contacts of this traveler while he was symptomatic will be contacted by the Texas Department of Health with support from the CDC and followed daily for 21 days. EVD should be considered in any person presenting with abrupt onset of fever or extreme malaise within 2-21 days of contact with this traveler. The risk of community-based or sustained transmission is very low.
According to the affected countries' Ministries of Health, 463 new cases of EVD and 124 deaths have been reported from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone from September 24 through September 28, 2014, as follows: Guinea, 19 new cases and 5 deaths; Liberia, 126 new cases and 106 deaths; and Sierra Leone, 318 new cases and 13 deaths. This brings the global total to 7,068 cases (including 3,221 deaths) since February 2014.
Air Cote d'Ivoire will resume air traffic to and from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone as early as this week, after suspending flights and closing its land borders in late August 2014.
This information has been incorporated into the "Ebola Outbreak Report" available from the Travax home page.

The bold is especially concerning especially since recent reports state that the correct travel history was elicited "but not fully communicated to the medical team"

This also tells me that clearly this hospital, for whatever reason, was not preparing for all possibilities and isolation of suspected patients which they rule-in/rule-out.

Update:

According to press sources, the recently reported imported case in Dallas, Texas, U.S. is a Liberian national who traveled aboard Brussels Airlines from Monrovia, Liberia via Brussels, Belgium to visit family in the Dallas area. Preliminary reports indicate that once symptomatic 4 days after arrival, he came into contact with at least 12 to 18 people (including 5 school-aged children), none of whom are ill at present; all are to be closely monitored with twice-daily temperature checks.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/02/health/eb ... ?hpt=hp_t1

Now up to 80 in monitoring, when including secondary contacts.

smh at that hospital...

I wonder if it was political correctness or sheer stupidity that kept the hospital from asking a West African man if he had recently been in a contagion zone. Either way, that shit needs to stop real quick.

In my experience, I'm willing to bet huge sums of money that it was number 2. apperantly he was asked but it didn't get communicated to the medical team, but then again that could just be someone employing cya.
Lets see what's documented in the medical record.

Th whole "his symptoms weren't severe enough to be admitted line" is bullshit. Symptoms plus recent travel from an endemic area should equal immediate isolation and testing.

This was sent from my mobile device.

I'm also willing to bet the attending hospitalist wasn't even notified about this patient when he first presented.

Let the fear-mongering headlines continue!

From Chron: "In Texas Ebola patient's neighborhood, scores sick"

Which neighborhood? In DALLAS!?!?!? We're all going to die!!!!!!!!

Or it's just clickbait and the neighborhood they're talking about is in Liberia. Well played Chron...

I predict an "Ebola superhighway" whereby the deadly virus travels in a swath of destruction, a network of death if you will, which extends in a tortuous path from Dallas to Houston (and too close to New Orleans), and has the ways and means to reach New York.

I thought this was funny. Yes, I know I'm going to hell.

An American freelance cameraman working for NBC News in Liberia has tested positive for Ebola and will be flown back to the U.S. for treatment.

The freelancer, Ashoka Mukpo, 33, was hired Tuesday to be a second cameraman for NBC News Chief Medical Editor and Correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman. Snyderman is with three other NBC News employees on assignment in Monrovia, reporting on the Ebola outbreak.

FRISCO — A patient exhibiting "signs and symptoms of Ebola" has been transported from a Frisco CareNow.

The CareNow is located in the 300 block of Main Street.

"The patient claims to have had contact with the Dallas 'patient zero,'" according to a statement from Dana Baird-Hanks, a spokeswoman with the city of Frisco.

Baird-Hanks says crews are at the scene "examining clinical staff and facility patrons."

More details to come.

The sky is falling!!!

The sky is falling!!!

The bolded part amazes me. WTF? Also, this guy is a complete ass hole. He knows he has been exposed, so he walks into an urgent care center and potentially exposes 50+ more people? I don't feel like it requires a PSA to understand that if you think even in the most remote chances you have ebola you should lock yourself in a house and call for help. A team full of specialists in suits will be knocking on your door in under 10 minutes.


More info:

The patient was identified as Sgt. Michael Monnig, a deputy who accompanied county health officials Zachary Thompson and Christopher Perkins into the apartment where Thomas Eric Duncan stayed in Dallas.

The deputy was ordered to go inside the unit with officials to get a quarantine order signed. No one who went inside the unit that day wore protective gear.

According to Christopher Dyer, with the Dallas County Sheriff's Association, Monnig said he was feeling sick to his stomach before his visit to the clinic. Dyer expressed concern for Monnig and his family.

Frisco Mayor Maher Maso said "risk is minimal" from the new potential Ebola case. Officials said the patient was transported because he had "a few" symptoms that matched those in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, but not all of the symptoms.

News 8's Jason Whitely spoke to Chuck Moreno, who had gone into the CareNow facility with his 15-year-old son to get a flu shot Wednesday. Moreno said he saw a patient, whose skin was flushed and who was hunched over but walking, enter the clinic with his wife.

Within minutes, police and fire units surrounded the facility, taped off a gray SUV, and isolated other patients at the facility.

Moreno asked a CareNow employee if it was related to Ebola, and he said the employee nodded her head "yes."

Moreno said he and his son quarantined themselves into an examination room, put on surgical masks they found in the room and sprayed disinfectant on themselves. Moreno said staff told them he and his son couldn't leave the clinic and would be transferred to a major medical center, but he was unsure which one at the time.

Outside the building, people in hazardous material suits readied an ambulance for transport of the patient.

I think we are OK. Jesse Jackson is addressing the media in Frisco right now. (Dead serious)

Duncan's choice of a community hospital rather than UT southwestern likely led to delays in obtaining the experimental drug rather then being black, poor, and a Liberian national as JJ is trying to claim.

Clown show in Frisco. No protective gear to sign a quarantine agreement?

Two Cleveland area schools have closed because a staffer flew on the same plane as the second nurse to contract Ebola.

I can't tell if that's a total overreaction or not.

That video cut off right before the reporter doing the live stand-up in front of the Dallas Hospital floated the theory that the New Black Panther Party invented Ebola with money from Obamacare in order to produce a crisis so severe that Obama could suspend the Constitution and make himself Emperor for Life of the New Black States of America. Now please report to your local FEMA concentration camp for indoctrination.

Three Belton ISD schools have closed as two students were on the flight from Cleveland to Dallas.

How does this even happen? I thought the CDC said all health care workers that came in contact with patient zero would be in quarantine for 21 days. Now, they're flying around sneezing into a controlled air space full of people?

You want to know how this happens? You have a corner of the world that no one cares about where people live in squalor and the worst abject poverty and the few food sources they have are totally unsanitary. That's how this happens. Everything that has come afterward is just an outgrowth of the fact that by and large the world does not give a shit about the people of Africa.

I remember my dad talking in the mid 1990s how no one cared about the genocide in Rwanda, but seemed everyone had to get concerned when the Serbs started being a little malicious in the former Yugoslav republics.

The protocol was for US doctors, and the flights she took were domestic. I understand the tragedy abroad, but I don't understand how the CDC has completely screwed up domestic containment.
