visionary Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 https://twitter.com/moneyries IF he does turn out to have Ebola...I hope they were careful with him before they decided to isolate him. CNN says it could take a day or two for the doctors to determine if he has it. They say there have been other such cases recently that turned out to be false alarms. I saw a report of a similar case that turned out that way in the UK yesterday, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 If you visit African city, you will find it very ****ty. Just two things of which you must beware: Don't drink the water and don't breathe the air. E-bola, e-bola, wear a gas mask and a veil, Then you'll be safe, as long as you don't inhale.

Isolation for a couple days is nothing compared to even a minor outbreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd try to search the internets, but I have no sense of direction and would end up lost It takes a real man to admit his innate directional limitations. Supposedly they are improving. The physician showed marked improvement shortly after being given the ZMapp serum, although they can't scientifically confirm it was administration of the Zmapp serum that led to the improvement. That's what doctors suspect, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/08/07/us-health-ebola-idUSKBN0G61ID20140807 West African healthcare systems reel as Ebola toll hits 932 Health workers in West Africa appealed on Wednesday for urgent help in controlling the world's worst Ebola outbreak as the death toll climbed to 932 and Liberia declared a state of emergency. "The government and people of Liberia require extraordinary measures for the very survival of our state and for the protection of the lives of our people," Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf said in an official statement. The state of emergency was for 90 days, effective Wednesday. Liberia also shut a major hospital where several staff were infected, including a Spanish priest. The World Health Organisation (WHO) said it would ask medical ethics experts to explore emergency use of experimental treatments to tackle the highly contagious disease after a trial drug was given to two U.S. charity workers infected in Liberia. With West Africa's rudimentary healthcare systems swamped, 45 new deaths from Ebola were reported in the three days to Aug. 4, the WHO said. Liberia and Sierra Leone have deployed troops in the worst-hit areas in their remote border region to try to stem the spread of the virus, for which there is no known cure. WHO experts began a two-day crisis meeting in Geneva to discuss whether the epidemic constitutes a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" and to consider steps to help overstretched emergency organizations. International alarm at the diffusion of the virus increased when a U.S. citizen, Patrick Sawyer, died in Nigeria last month after flying there from Liberia. Authorities said on Wednesday that a Nigerian nurse who had treated Sawyer had also died of Ebola, and five other people were being treated in an isolation ward in Lagos, Africa's largest city. With doctors on strike, Lagos health commissioner Jide Idris said volunteers were urgently needed to track 70 people who came into contact with Sawyer. Only 27 have so far been traced. "We have a national emergency, indeed the world is at risk," Nigerian Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu said after a weekly cabinet meeting in Abuja. "Nobody is immune. The experience in Nigeria has alerted the world that it takes just one individual to travel by air to a place to begin an outbreak." At a news conference in Washington, asked whether the United States planned to make the experimental drug available to affected African nations, U.S. President Barack Obama said he lacked enough information to give it a green light. "We've got to let the science guide us and I don't think all the information is in on whether this drug is helpful," the president said at a news conference at the end of an African summit. "The Ebola virus both currently and in the past is controllable if you have a strong public health infrastructure in place." He added: "We're focusing on the public health approach right now, but I will continue to seek information about what we're learning about these drugs going forward."

visionary Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 https://sg.news.yahoo.com/spanish-ebola-patient-arrives-madrid-treatment-081546051.html Spanish priest with Ebola arrives in Madrid for treatment An elderly Spanish missionary infected with the deadly Ebola virus in Liberia landed in Madrid Thursday, the first patient in the fast-spreading outbreak to be evacuated to Europe for treatment. A specially equipped military Airbus A310 carrying 75-year-old Roman Catholic priest Miguel Pajares landed at the Spanish capital's Torrejon air base at 8:15 am (0615 GMT), the Defence Ministry said. The priest tested positive for Ebola at the Saint Joseph Hospital in the Liberian capital Monrovia where he worked with patients suffering from the hemorrhagic fever, according to the Spanish aid organisation that employs him, Juan Ciudad ONGD. The plane, hurriedly equipped with plastic isolation tents before being dispatched from Madrid, also brought back Spanish nun Juliana Bonoha Bohe, who had worked at the same hospital, the ministry said. She has not tested postive for Ebola but is nevertheless to be isolated for treatment. The Spanish priest and the nun were taken by ambulance to Madrid's Carlos III Hospital, which is specialised in tropical diseases, according to an AFP photographer outside the hospital.

visionary Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 https://news.yahoo.com/ebolas-spread-us-inevitable-says-cdc-chief-205903838.html Ebola's spread to US is 'inevitable' says CDC chief Ebola's spread to the United States is "inevitable" due to the nature of global airline travel, but any outbreak is not likely to be large, US health authorities said Thursday. Already one man with dual US-Liberian citizenship has died from Ebola, after becoming sick on a plane from Monrovia to Lagos and exposing as many as seven other people in Nigeria.More cases of Ebola moving across borders via air travel are expected, as West Africa faces the largest outbreak of the hemorrhagic virus in history, said Tom Frieden, the head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.The virus spreads by close contact with bodily fluids and has killed 932 people and infected more than 1,700 since March in Sierra Leone, Guinea, Nigeria and Liberia."It is certainly possible that we could have ill people in the US who develop Ebola after having been exposed elsewhere," Frieden told a hearing of the House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organizations."We are all connected and inevitably there will be travelers, American citizens and others who go from these three countries -- or from Lagos if it doesn't get it under control -- and are here with symptoms," he said."But we are confident that there will not be a large Ebola outbreak in the US."
