2nd Ebola case in Dallas confirmed; health worker who attended Duncan tests positive

[PleezeBelieve]

http://bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29587803


"We knew a second case could be a reality, and we've been preparing for this possibility," said Dr David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Mr Duncan, who caught the virus in his native Liberia, died at a Dallas hospital on Wednesday.

The health worker has not been named.

The current Ebola outbreak, concentrated in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, has resulted in more than 8,300 confirmed and suspected cases, and at least 4,033 deaths.

Mr Duncan tested positive in Dallas on 30 September, 10 days after arriving on a flight from Monrovia via Brussels.

He had become ill a few days after arriving in the US, and went to the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas with a high fever.

And so it begins

[ArbitraryWater]

RIP primetime :(

[Nick Young]

What a surprise.

Another "State of the art world class facility"

Another health care professional getting infected anyways.

Duncan could have phucked all of us. Phuck that asshole.

Stop being racist. Ebola is easy to contain and nearly impossible to spread.

OBama administration continues to refuse to stop flights from West Africa into the country instead putting forth that taking a passengers temp and asking some questions is doing enough when those same steps would not have prevented this first case in America. This is simply insane. Obama has failed us again.

while i believe it is quite stupid to close all flights from those countries, i do have to agree that simply taking the temperture and asking some questions in meaningless and stupid. during the incubation perioud, you literally have no symptoms, and when has questionnaires ever worked anyway?

[MadeFromDust]

I think it bears repeating...Incompetence, neglegence, and downright STUPIDITY both in and out of the healthcare community will allow ebola to spread in the U.S.

[senelcoolidge]

The President, the CDC heads, and everyone else involved needs to be held accountable for this BS. This is not the first outbreak of Ebola. So why is it here now..it's their fault. They are suppose to do the better for the citizens of this country.

The problem is even if you ban flights from Africa, someone from Africa could travel to another country and then enter the US. The only way to contain it is to close your borders and that's not going to happen.

Ban people with West African visas for at least a month and a half

What about the nurse in Spain who contracted Ebola? Do you also ban people from Spain?

No, that is not ground zero

Some dude yesterday said he was feeling kinda sick because he "forgot to take his blue pill."

Lies. Pretty sure that Mfer had the Ebola. :mad:

Ban everybody with Ebola symptoms

[Reef]

Ban everybody with Ebola symptoms

And what if they have just been infected, but symptoms have not yet manifested? It can't take a few weeks for symptoms to present.

[rufuspaul]

I'm telling you, Obama wants ebola to spread and cause panic so he can declare martial law. It will happen.

The CDC is a farce and has been for the past 25 years. They've jumped to erroneous conclusion during the early years of the AIDS epidemic, allowed weapons grade anthrax to disappear from their labs right after 9/11, and now they are outright lying to the public about how this disease is spread. Its more than obvious that universal precautions against body fluids does not work. This disease is airborne and highly contagious.

Lol dude if it was airborne it sure as hell wouldn't have taken this long to infect only one other person... Dallas would be in a state of emergency and Africa would be like Europe during the black death if it was airborne.

His whole post was sarcastic...

[Godzuki]

the CDC is full of shit. I swear them mf'ers making up this bullshit about breach of protocol to squash public fear of uncontrolled contamination so there isn't panic is straight out of Revolution or some shit :wtf:

this is like the 4th case of the health worker being fully protected according to protocol and STILL catching it, and having ZERO idea how they got it swearing they followed protocol. these doctors dealing with Ebola aren't as stupid as some of you mf'ers think. they've seen the misery of this disease first hand, and you think they're carelessly doing things to be infected? :facepalm

then some asshole higher up makes up some bullshit how they breached it somehow without knowing how or when. A LOT of mf'ers should be held accountable at this point. Government officials for not taking as many precautions as possible to prevent it spreading here until AFTER the fact, and the CDC authorities blatantly lying to us because their number 1 priority seems to be lying to prevent public hysteria. Thats what them mf'ers always do in the movies too, and its some fukked up shit they're really pulling that. They and a lot of people already have a lot to answer for saying all along how it would never spread here.

i swear if this were hitting DC near the White House where all of the politicians are, there'd be major counter measures taken. Whoever at the CDC are making up these excuses without any truth to them needs to be held liable.

you want to use the airborne excuse like everyone would have it if it were? how about some people's immune systems are weaker than others? how about a certain range of airborne? how about a milliion other possibilities of catching this shit that isn't basedd on bodily fluid exchanges when 4 people have caught it now FULLY PROTECTED with no idea how they caught it!!! fukk u know it alls, there is definitely something up more than what the know it all's are telling us.

[HomieWeMajor]

No Africans should be allowed into the US for the next 3 years and those that have come in the last 6 months should be deported.

Should we also burn the dead to make sure they don't come back as wights?

[kentatm]

except they've already admitted she breached protocol.

This is the same hospital that first said the dude never told them about being from Africa, then admitted he did. Then they said the nurse didn't tell the doctor but it turns out she gave him the info. Then it also turns out he had a massive fever and shoud have never been allowed to leave but was sent on his way.

IMO this looks more like Presbyterian has some major issues w/how they run things and probably booted the guy initially b/c he had no health insurance.

Damn. Usually my sarcasm detector is pretty good. ****ed up on that one the intro should have given it away :lol

Actually I'm dead serious about the CDC. They are not the infallible experts people think they are.

she looks hot as fukk too, which makes this a complete tragedy :mad:

fukk the CDC, u know these mf'ers are making up whatever shit they can to keep public hysteria down which is more a priority than reality.

4 cases of doctors/workers SWEARING they're fully protected and followed protocol while CDC is telling us they breached it :rolleyes:

Absolutely!

Biological weapons are banned in America.

THEREFORE, WE BAN THESE WALKING LIVING WEAPONS FROM ENTERING OUR BORDERS-or quarantine all of them for atleast 6 weeks each-that sounds like a good use of tax dollars, or do nothing and let us die.


Obama get your shit together:facepalm

ideally they should be banned period .. don't even pack your bags .. but I don't know wtf is going on .. out of 13,000, you just know some of those people are going to pass through infected .

obama should've nipped this in the bud a while ago like a real leader protecting his citizens and his country .. but this spineless closet homosexual doesn't want to 'offend' africans

Obama had nothing to lose to ban these flights honestly. We can all side with him for our own benefit and safety in the end no matter what challenges he faced if he had banned incoming flights.

lol@that picture ..

what kind of amateurish display is this ? .. our first fkn lady posing for a picture with a submissive expression, pleading with murdering terrorists .. thought I'd seen it all from this administration .. what a fkn embarrassment these people are .. and your husband isn't the president of an african country .. or maybe she thinks he is .. has she said anything about 'our people' yet with regards to this ebola shit ? :hammerhead:

seeing this picture puts everything into perspective about why this spineless bitch hasn't closed off all flights from that place .. he'd rather endanger his own citizens' lives than offend african countries

[Patrick Chewing]

I still cannot believe Tim Duncan is dead. What the hell was he doing in Dallas??

Are you literally insane?

Didn't you just say "Obama is so unconstitutional!" yet you want him to reach down and do someone else's job for them?

What do you want him to do? Go to the airport and block these people from getting off their planes himself?

You people get so deranged sometimes.

Obama cannot propose a quarantine, or take executive powers by declaring a state of national emergency, which this is?
