Nurse who treated Spanish priest who contracted Ebola in Africa and was transferred to Spain has contracted Ebola. Not a good sign of things to come...

I feel bad for the health care workers in our country. First O-Care and now this. If there's an outbreak (even a contained one) do we think that many health care workers will not go to work to protect themselves and their families from such a deadly illness?

Interesting... per this CNN article (Re Spanish Nurse) it says Duncan is still alive in Dallas?
http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/06/health...html?hpt=hp_t1 This article from today seems to confirm he is alive? http://abcnews.go.com/Health/texas-e...ry?id=25998659

I won't get worked up about Ebola until I start to see body bags being filled at a rate that outpaces other causes of death in the U.S.
Perspective is a good thing right now. I'm not saying it won't get worse, but I will keep paying attention. CDC stats

Immigrants from West African countries have entered the US illegally, according to Chris Cabrera with the National Border Patrol Council. "Not too long ago we did catch some people, I believe, from Liberia," he said. During the 2013 fiscal year, national statistics from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security website show Border Patrol agents apprehended 112 immigrants from Guinea, 231 from Liberia and 145 immigrants from Sierra Leone, which are the three countries currently experiencing the most cases of Ebola. |

It's already in the grapevine yesterday but our "most transparent ever" government kept it from us for another day.

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ebo...l-says-n221141 So one is left to wonder, was the previous Israeli news report in error, or did Duncan actually die on Sunday as they reported, and it is just now being publicly released in the US? I doubt we'll ever know the real answer to that, but it's interesting to ponder why A. a foreign national news service would break a story before the fact, or B. why the US media would delay releasing it for two days.

The earlier reports were just wrong. Do you really think they would have been able to keep his death out of the news; that people in the hospital who knew wouldn't have talked to various news outlets? Don't be part of Ebola hysteria. . |

I wonder what the higher echelon of gov. knows.
1.Do they have this under control + no need to panic? 2. They do not have it under control + do not want to create panic? 3 Lack of communication/actions within various agencies + (could find a solution but it may step on someones toes) If you look @ 3, I can imagine Obama's advisers suggesting securing borders and assigning additional personnel to process incoming flights {ensure they are not sick} BUT Obama seems unwilling to do this since it may harm votes for the dem party. It is far better to infect citizens with Ebola and gain votes. |

1. All staff members assigned to the patient locked in @ hospital 2. No outside communication (phones confiscated) Again, I am not saying this was the case, but I think it is entirely possible. |

If you think the government is not controlling all the news releases regarding this, you are too naive.

The problemo seems to be, 1st estimates of preventative measures are not working. More and more health care providers want :

The 2nd nurse in Spain to contract Ebola apparently made a mistake when taking off her protective gear. In the process of removing the suit, she believes one of the gloves may have brushed her face. Apparently it's a tricky procedure with an exact series of steps that must be performed flawlessly to avoid contamination.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/t...eir-dogs-life/ Her husband is in quarantine. Also, in the belief that dogs can act as carriers of the disease (though this is not proven) the couple's dog was euthanized subsequent to a court order. Now the US faces the problem of how to handle it's first ebola victim corpse. Obviously standard methods do not allow for adequate containment. The problem becomes bigger if it is decided that his body will be returned to Liberia for burial. Frankly, in my opinion, this is a situation in which all other considerations but safety have to take a back seat. The body should be placed inside a sealed tube full of bleach and transported via hazmat disposal truck to the nearest bio-hazard incineration facility. Hopefully the containment tube doesn't get mis-directed to a medical supply warehouse. I will be surprised if the respirator and dialysis machine can be salvaged. No hospital in their right mind would be willing to take a chance of inadvertently spreading a highly fatal disease. Unless there is a way of rendering them sterile beyond any minute particle of doubt, you'll have to trash the machine and replace it. When you start to figure in things like this, are we really that much more "advanced" than west africa? Without more ZMAPP to treat victims the treatment options start looking mighty thin. A hospital can't be burning through a new dialysis machine every couple of days... this form of treatment is NOT SCALABLE. That means what may work for one or two victims, will not work when you have 100 or more. You just can't do it... not only is it prohibitively expensive but the places that produce these devices aren't ramped up to supply them in volume. If Duncan is the last of them, well and good... but something tells me he is the first but not the last.

Grevlin a poster on another forum came up with the EBOLA Preparedness Scale. Scroll down about 5 postings. Kind of funny but true!
Sometimes we have to take a break and laugh. I am at a 5 1/2 on the scale, thinking I should move to a 6 at least! LOL! http://www.survivalistboards.com/sho...le#post6795390

I'm not sure that's a fair criticism Six O'Clock.
The article (sketcy and developing though it is) said the officer never had direct contact with Duncan, but rather he "responded" to Duncan's apartment, whatever that means. My guess would be that when the family started sneaking out from the quarantine order they had to have someone show up to enforce it. Hopefully we'll find out more details in the next couple of days. I know that most officers who get called to an apartment because of a "disturbance" (could be health officials arguing with the family) don't go in prepared for the "Hot Zone". He may have found out only after arriving what the real situation was, and not recognized that ebola was something so potentially contagious and deadly. I hope he's got the flu, because it's starting to look like, without ZMAPP (all gone, used on previous patients) it is a virtual death sentence.
