First case of Ebola confirmed also other viruses and illnesses Updated Airport screenings

They quarantined a dude in Toronto yesterday. They testing him. They doubt he has it tho. Crazy to think how easy this shit could spread continent to continent today compared to past plagues.

I am not sure if this has been mentioned already but the CDC has patent on the Ebola viruses & various mutations, testing, treatments, and reproduction of the viruses. Now, Ebola appeared first in Zaire in 1976 in the middle of cold war where all kinds of bio-chemical weapons were being manufactured. Fort Detrick is probably the death lab.

Also, no one can write-off the US secret policy-memo on population control.

Call me conspiracy theorist but Ebola is simply coming back home...

Even without Ebola, why would anyone willingly go on a trip to Liberia? That place has been described as the closest thing to a real Hell on earth.

The guy was from Liberia though, the lady he came here to Dallas to visit was his gf of course. (He was in Liberia providing care for patients with Ebola. He knew he was in contact with the virus and decided to travel to the United States to visit friends and family.) This is why everyone is under the impression that they slept together and that is how she got the virus. The virus then spread to her kids. Her kids were in school for three days before they were taken out of school. Other kids parents that go to the school are saying that nobody is treating this Ebola case seriously. It just seems like they are waiting till it spreads and then they will think about doing something.

Also I find it very weird that this man slept on three different beds in his house and sweated in all of them.

He arrived in Dallas felt sick when he landed. He went to Texas Health Presby Hospital. Three days later he went back.

Also fishy that it takes three days for them to do anything.

It took three days after he was quarantined for them to sterilize the apartment he was in.

"Ebola is spread through infected bodily fluids. But the Ebola sufferer doesn't have to be there, or even alive, to spread the disease: Dr. Sanjay Gupta notes that it can live on in the environment from hours to days, making it possible for someone to contract the disease from touching such materials."

I'm calling bullshit.

No way in hell a hospital will turn you away if you feeling some type of way.

They will try and diagnose you with something or run a few tests. That's money in they pocket, hospital bills ain't cheap.

I got 4 stitches and that shit was 800. Thank God for my momma insurance

Ebola patient waited days for medicine

By By Elizabeth Cohen Senior Medical Correspondent

Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, received an experimental medicine nearly a week after being admitted into the hospital -- a far longer wait than experienced by four other Ebola patients treated in the United States.

Those patients -- two each at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital and the University of Nebraska Medical Center -- received their experimental medicines immediately. Those four are U.S. citizens; Duncan is a Liberian national.

Duncan died Wednesday at the Texas hospital where he was being treated, 10 days after he was admitted.

"We feel he didn't get the medicine and treatment for the disease because he's African and they don't consider him as important as the other three," Josephus Weeks, Duncan's nephew, said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon, a day before Duncan died.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who attended that press conference with Weeks and Duncan's mother as a newly appointed spokesman for the family, said, "We don't feel good about that. It's been a concern he had to wait so long."

Jackson said he thinks money also played a role in Duncan's treatment.

"I would tend to think that those who do not have insurance, those who do not have Medicaid do not have the same priorities as those who do," the civil rights leader said.

In a statement, a spokeswoman for Dallas' Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital said Duncan was "treated the way any other patient would have been treated, regardless of nationality or ability to pay for care. We have a long history of treating a multicultural community in this area."

The hospitals that took care of the four other patients had substantial advance notice that patients were on their way.

Duncan went the emergency room at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on September 25, but staff there didn't realize he had Ebola and sent him home hours later. He was admitted on September 28 when the hospital realized he had the disease. He started receiving the experimental drug, brincidofovir, on October 4.

"Mr. Duncan succumbed to an insidious disease, Ebola," hospital spokesman Wendell Watson said in a statement. "He fought courageously in this battle. Our professionals, the doctors and nurses in the unit, as well as the entire Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas community, are also grieving his passing."

not noted here, however, is that those four patients didn't all get the same medication. some of it (such as ZMapp) is simply not available
