i heard it on the radio this morning that someone was quarantined in Dallas. But at least Ebola's only transmitted through blood or bodily fluids and not air born.

yeah, the radio said the CDC just confirmed the person tested positive

maybe they tried to inject the patient with something to stabilize him then suddenly he started to have uncontrollable seizures, which startled and hit the doctors' hands holdings the needles as they were pulling them out after the shots were given, which incidentally caused them to stick themselves with the needles.

wow, that is a reach. it is transmitted by sweat (not just internal bodily fluids). So, basically, touching anyone with it is a vector for transmission

[SunsN07BookIt]

A doctor at the Dallas hospital news conference just stated, "It is certainly possible a family member or person the patient has come into contact with may develop Ebola in the coming weeks."

The scary thing is Ebola can have a hibernation period of up to a month, kind of like rabies.

This is all the current government's fault. :facepalm why would you bring people with ebola to western soil even for treatment. Treat them in Africa. The rich people in Africa have nice hospitals. Why would you allow flights from these countries to come to the States? Why would you send 3,000 American troops to these hotbed countries..these decisions/indecisions are either done by retards or people that really want to hurt the country. They have some bad motives.

I would actually think it's harder to contain in America. People here travel far more than people in Africa. Once it starts to spread, it'll be almost impossible to contain.. unless you ban all travel.

Seems harder to contain here imo. People travel further, and come in contact with more people on a daily basis. Once it spreads in America, it wwill easily spread globally. Unlike Liberia, thousands of people come in and out of America daily. We`re the doorway to the world forr thiss virus.

yep, supposedly every person this guy has come into contact with has been quarantined and isolated and will be for the max 21 days, and Ebola can only be spread while the person is showing symptoms

SO...if that is correct, it is impossible for it to have spread past him and the people he has come into contact with...only one is showing symptoms so far.

You don't understand how ebola works :facepalm

Ebola doesn't spread until symptoms show, it doesn't spread while incubating. It is only spread through direct contact with someone with active symptoms. The reason it spreads so much in africa is because there is a poor level of hygiene and it's hard to avoid contact with other peoples fluids and wastes in day to day life. In an established nation like America it's not likely to spread very far, you could be sitting right next to someone who is infected and wouldn't catch it. It's the same reason HIV doesn't spread around like a bad flu does the only difference is HIV spreads well due to people not realising they are infected where as ebola won't spread until you have symptoms. Sure it's a big deal but it isn't something that is going to spread quickly.

viruses don't adapt and mutate doe amirite?:hammerhead: :hammerhead: :hammerhead:

Are you worried about the flu mutating to be more deadly? That's more likely and has happened many times through out human history. Spreads much faster as well. Ebola would need to mutate to spread without symtpoms while also spreading through other means. Which is highly unlikely to happen. It's also been around for a long time without showing signs of mutation, it's pretty stable. Mutations don't happen spontaneously in a bunch of people at once, it happens in one infected person who then spreads the mutated strain.

The reasons it spreads in Africa are totally different to how the US lives, they are weary of western doctors there and often hide sick people, the burial customs in some areas involve cleaning the dead persons orifices and leaving them in their home, bodies get dumped in the street, water gets mixed with sewerage and is untreated, they have shortages in most health related items like rubber gloves, they don't have access to clean water to wash and bathe as often. There's numerous differences.

You clearly know nothing about how virus's work, you know nothing about how life is in some of the areas hit worst right now, stop acting like you know everything because you read a couple of articles on the internet.

viruses don't adapt and mutate doe amirite?:hammerhead: :hammerhead: :hammerhead:
Any virus could adapt and mutate. It's stupid to single out ebola, it would have to mutate to be transmitted in a different fashion. that's a hell of a mutation. It's not that widespread either, so why would it have some enormous mutation? You might mutate to be drug resistant, becuase drugs are being used on it, thus the interaction causing different reactions, thus a mutation. Changing how a disease is transmitted in such a short time? That makes no sense.

You have a hard on for ebola but ebola is not a problem. I'm far more worried about things that transmit easily like the flu because that could become drug resistant, have worse symptoms.

What's wrong with some of you (just not Nick Young) that you enjoy the fear mongering so much? Do you just not really understand how things work? Or is life just sad that you are waiting for something bad to happen? Or too random that the "doomsday" scenario at least makes sense?

Wait what?

Isn't' the death toll each year on cancer something like 7-8 million people a year? I know in Australia it's like 50,000 people a year dieing of cancer and I'm pretty sure in America it's something like 400,000? The death toll for Ebola this year is like 3000 world wide.

nobody knows any of this stuff for sure. they're all talking out of their ass, and in their best intersts to not cause mass panic, thats what they're trained to do speaking to the public with a mass epidemic.

i bet you didn't know the CDC's definition of 'airborne' is a cough from inside a buss not reaching the people from the back. but 'airborne' does not include within a few feet of that indvidual.

either way watch the special on the doctors who treated the African Ebola outbreaks that caught it, and see how sure of themselves they were they didn't catch it or exchanged bodily fluids but caught it. go watch how much precaution they took to be covered according to 'bodily fluids' contagions knowing WAY more than us how awful it is to be affected by it, and they STILL caught it.

nobody knows any of this stuff for sure. they're all talking out of their ass, and in their best intersts to not cause mass panic, thats what they're trained to do speaking to the public with a mass epidemic.

i bet you didn't know the CDC's definition of 'airborne' is a cough from inside a buss not reaching the people from the back. but 'airborne' does not include within a few feet of that indvidual.

either way watch the special on the doctors who treated the African Ebola outbreaks that caught it, and see how sure of themselves they were they didn't catch it or exchanged bodily fluids but caught it. go watch how much precaution they took to be covered according to 'bodily fluids' contagions knowing WAY more than us how awful it is to be affected by it, and they STILL caught it.

people here believe way too much of what their told, and not anecdotal evidence.

Anecdotal evidence is the last thing people should be believing People should be believing the real scientific facts. Anecdotal evidence is what leads to scare mongering and witch hunts. There's numerous ways people working there could catch it accidentally, they were working with symptomatic people and corpses. It's no surprise they caught it.

[jaybee682]

Wait what?

Isn't' the death toll each year on cancer something like 7-8 million people a year? I know in Australia it's like 50,000 people a year dieing of cancer and I'm pretty sure in America it's something like 400,000? The death toll for Ebola this year is like 3000 world wide.

That's a pretty substantial difference.....

I know that... but this is what there trying to do with this Ebola thing, this is only the beginning of this. They will misdiagnose people with this thing then come with the medicine that sustains it. WATCH

They don't need to. there's numerous ways they could contract it considering they were working in hospitals camps treating ebola. It can be as simply as faulty protective gear or contaminated water.

They are ignoring all medical advice and even ACTIVELY FIGHTING AGAINST THE ADVICE OF DOCTORS, and HAVE EVEN LOOTED THE WESTERN FUNDED MEDICAL AID STATIONS!


They are targeting the doctors, because they think THE DOCTORS ARE THE ONES WHO CAUSE EBOLA.

then their idiotic burial rituals do nothing BUT SPREAD THE DISEASE EVEN MORE.

yeah they need to stop flights from that area until they get that shit under control over there .. I'm sorry if that sounds insensitive .. but our fkn health over here comes first ..

now because of this guy, they have to go running around playing private investigator to try to find everyone who may have come in contact with this guy .. then isolate them all .. then test them .. then blah blah fkn blah .. all because they let this one guy into the country ..

imagine if more people who come from liberia are found to be infected .. how many people are they going to have to track down and isolate and test and do who knows what else they have to do then ? .. it's almost like they want this shit to spread here .. why the fk else would you be allowing people from that area to fly in here without making sure they are not infected ? ..

I've also heard people say that it's not a problem YET.. it's not out of control YET so why do you want to ban flights from there ? :banghead: :mad: .. really you fkn idiot ? .. some want to wait until it becomes a bigger problem before acting lol .. fkn retards .. it's called preventative measures !!

So what you were trying to say was that the person on CNN made the point that we shouldn't turn our back on victims of ebola seeking treatment in the United States? That's completely different than "turning our backs on Liberia", which sounds more like a general statement. I wasn't watching CNN when this happened, so I have to rely on your account of events.

You can't really say "Look at what this guy has caused" yet, since the only thing he (or the media) seems to have spread so far is hysteria. People worried that an Ebola outbreak might occur in the US don't seem to understand what factors caused the epidemic in West Africa and how most (if not all) of those facilitating factors are irrelevant in a North American context.

Well, I don't know how many people have died from Ebola... but there have been flu strains that have killed over 20 million people worldwide. I think the prospect of a dangerous new Flu strain is scarier (less controllable) than an Ebola outbreak... but I'm no expert.

Chaos? Chaos has been caused by his presence in the U.S.? We've so far dealt with the risk he has brought effectively. Those being monitored are being done so professionally with minimal risk being posed to surrounding individuals who could potentially contract it if these supervised citizens become symptomatic. It's overly-cautious, sure, but it has thus far been effective in its goal. It's "irresponsible letting this guy in here?" Plenty of responsible precautions were taken, including having him go through three checkpoints before departing Liberia. Sure, he still made it to the U.S., but he didn't become symptomatic until after arriving in the States, and when symptoms begin to show, they are easily noticeable and thus awareness can be raised practically immediately. A travel ban would do more harm than good, I believe. We have to continue to send aid and health workers to combat the epidemic...this not a an overly-simplistic case of "If we turn our back and withdraw our extended hand to West Africa, we cannot possibly inherit an Ebola outbreak." If we dismantle travel between West African countries and the U.S., which, as I said, we need in order to provide resources and competent aid workers to those countries, we will only further allow the epidemic to run its course in West Africa...It's funny that someone mentioned something about fearing that Ebola could be airborne. It is not an airborne virus, although if we continue to let it pass from human host to human host, even in a semi-contained region, it could potentially mutate and achieve airborne transmissibility, at which point a travel ban would become far less effective in achieving some sort of "Ebola isolation" goal. So, if you are worried about that potential, although highly unlikely, nightmarish scenario occurring, then you should reasonably be calling for more direct aid and hands-on work from countries with adequate medical resources in the afflicted West African region.

There is shit about ebola that we don't know OR it is more contagious then they are telling us it is.

Go to med school and find out for us.

true .. they're definitely not telling us the whole story ..

as far as the ban issue .. the head guy of the cdc just gave the following explanation for why they can't quite cut off flights from there .. he said ..

"if we ban flights from there, then that will make it much more difficult to get our people over there and get them out .. we won't be able to properly help them and it will spread to other african countries and put us at more risk over here" ..

you think this is a legitimate argument ? .. seems to make sense but I don't know

[Nick Young]

It is not our job or responsibility to try to save Africa from ebola. We even set up health centers there, and the idiots started looting them and burning them down, and attacking western doctors and blaming them for causing ebola and killing Africans:facepalm

It is not America's job to try to save other countries that don't want to be saved.

They aren't all getting sick you idiot. A small handful of the hundreds of people working there have contracted it. Which is no surprise considering how they are treating and working with symptomatic patients and living in the areas everyone else is. Use your damn head. They are still eating, drinking, shitting, pissing and living around a highly contaminated area in a country that has shortages in most basic medical equipment including gloves. There's no conspiracy you are just retarded.

Doctors and nurses IN THE WEST, working in the "State of the art facilities" are contracting the disease as well bozo:hammerhead:

Correct me if I'm wrong but I've only seen one confirmed case in the west and that was a spanish nurse who was observed and admitted to touching her mouth and face while wearing the gloves she had been wearing while treating someone. No conspiracy. Unless there's more cases i haven't seen which is possible. And again you are talking about a nurse who was working with some symptomatic. Are you going to be going around touching someone whos shitting, vomiting and bleeding to death with your hands and not wash them afterwards? The disease isn't simple and easy to spread, that doesn't mean it can't spread it just means it is extremely unlikely to be more than a minor issue in America.

[dude77]

I would agree it's not this country's job .. but the thing is, the bigger the problem gets, the more infected people will try to fly over here like our good buddy mr. duncan .. although that seems to be happening anyways due to our incompetent air travel authorities

by the way, we need to give a shout out to mr. duncan for his utter irresponsiblity, recklessness and complete lack of consideration for other people by coming here and basically just roaming around without a fkn care around a bunch of innocents knowing his ass had been exposed to that shit .. too bad he died and he didn't have to face what he did .. they got another possible ebola victim now, deputy who went to duncan's apartment, in quarantine

[MadeFromDust]

Just like I said before...incompetence, neglegence, and downright stupidity both in and out of the healthcare community is what could allow this disease to spread in the U.S. :rolleyes:

They ****ing killed her dog. That'll stop the pandemic. :facepalm

I heard they got another cat in Frisco that has shows symptons of ebola

[SunsN07BookIt]

From what I understand, many mammals can be carriers of Ebola. Monkeys can definitely transmit the disease to humans, other animals like dogs can carry the disease but are asymptomatic, so it is unclear if they can transmit it too. That's why doctors think Ebola dies out but reemerges in the human population repeatedly since 1976.

I don't see what all the fuss is about over killing a dog to protect the human population from a possible outbreak. I mean, I guess they could come up with the resources to quarantine and monitor it like a person if they wanted to.

[~primetime~]

yeah, ebola is serious enough to where I really don't care that much about her dog's life...that dog living and potentially passing it on to other humans is not worth the risk.

[Draz]

What a fck fest this really is.

There is no evidence of the virus ever being transmitted by a dog. Also there were literally thousands of people who volunteered to take the dog and quarantine it and have it tested. They might as well kill the nurse and any humans she may have come into contact with. It would be much more effective.

[Trollsmasher]

1st case suspected in Prague. That ****er has been back from Liberia for 22 ****ing days before getting hospitalized today.

I hear what you're saying...I just can't quite bring myself to feel outraged over that though. I am pretty big animal lover too.

ebola freaks me out a little...probably more than it should

You're right though people. Ebola is not a problem. It is easy to contain in the Western World:facepalm

yeah, I probably met him in the public transport:lol

but you can't transmit the virus before you show symptoms, so it should not be so bad hopefully

[senelcoolidge]

Even African countries are not allowing travel from these hotbed areas, yet here in America we still allow travel from there here..:facepalm . This government lacks so much commonsense it's baffling. I thought our government was suppose to protect the American people. Once this is done can we arrest all of these politicians and put them on trial.

Don't be irrational. Doctors KNOW that dogs can carry the Ebola virus, they just don't know if they can transmit it to humans. Who in their right mind is willing to take that risk? And there are probably only a handful of medical facilities in Spain qualified to quarantine and monitor a dog that may have such a deadly virus. You just can't just put it in someone's backyard with a lock on the gate.

Ahh, are you one of those that gives a dog's life the same or more value, than a human life? If so, we have a fundamental difference of opinion and there's really no point of discussion.

It's called a veterinary kennel and animals get quarantined all the time for various reasons (rabies, etc.). It costs money but people were volunteering to pay for it. My point is if we're going to panic and start killing to contain the virus we might as well kill the humans who are actually spreading it.

This part is bullshit, animals are quarantined for other diseases all the time. Spain isn't some third world country and they definitely would have these resources and facilities. That being said I'm not sure where I land on it, I agree with you that a dogs life doesn't have the same value as a human to me, alot of people will disagree but that's just how I see it at the same time they may have been able to do more to save the dog but we weren't there and don't know the factors that lead up to that decisions so it's silly to argue it on the internet now.

Rufus is right though, people are over reacting and panicking which will be worse than the virus itself is in the western world.

[Patrick Chewing]

Prior to this African guy in Texas, had there ever been a reported case of Ebola in the United States??



If the answer is no, then we can understand why the country is as upset about this. As it should be.

lol mr. duncans nephew is already playing the race card .. mr. duncan's nephew .. go have a seat and stfu .. your uncle acted recklessly and has exposed a bunch of unknowing innocents to a potential lethal disease .. I agree though that he should've lived .. so he could've been prosecuted

[longhornfan1234]

Every single "situation" that has happened during Obama Admin has been down played and then we find out later.......there was SO much more to it.

Obama thought (and said) that ISIS was JV - less than ONE month ago. Biden laughed at Ryan in their debate when Ryan mentioned ISIS being on the rise.



The "experts" are saying you must exchange bodily fluids. OK, I guess everyone is just French tongueing each other when they meet over there.

[Smoke117]

A doctor at the Dallas hospital news conference just stated, "It is certainly possible a family member or person the patient has come into contact with may develop Ebola in the coming weeks."

The scary thing is Ebola can have a hibernation period of up to a month, kind of like rabies.


Rabies hibernation period can last up to a year, actually.

No, but Obama is doing absolutely nothing to prevent its potential spread.

BAN ALL INCOMING LIBERIAN AND WEST AFRICAN NATIONALS FROM ENTERING THE COUNTRY. BAN ALL FLIGHTS IN AND OUT OF THOSE COUNTRIES. ALL AMERICANS WHO WANT TO GET BACK IN, QUARANTINE THEM FOR A MONTH, MINIMUM.

Common sense. But Obama would rather please the airline lobbyists.

Even if healed Ebola can live in semen for months. So it's like another transmitted disease on top of everything.

Ebola's total death toll so far:

4,033 in 7 months

233 of the victims are health workers

To me that's just sad and speaks to the lack of controls they put in place. You could quadruple my current pay and I still wouldn't go to western Africa for a year to help as a medical aid. Yet these workers likely go on a volunteer basis, or perhaps get paid a fourth of what I'm making, and take on the risk of becoming infected themselves for a disease that has roughly a 1/3rd survival rate.

I wonder what percentage of health workers that have gone to help have died so far?
