DALLAS — A Dallas hospital is holding a patient in "strict isolation" as that person is evaluated for possible exposure to the deadly Ebola virus.
In a statement issued Tuesday night, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas said the patient was admitted based on symptoms and "recent travel history."
The hospital, located at Greenville Avenue and Walnut Hill Lane in Northeast Dallas, said it is complying with all recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and the Texas Department of Health to ensure the safety of other patients and medical staff.
Preliminary results of tests on the patient are expected from the CDC on Tuesday.

We've been saying it's only a matter of time until it gets here, and bringing people here for treatment in violation of good epidemiology practice certainly isn't helping.

I'm waiting for "New, improved Ebola!  Now with airborne transmission!"

And when that happens, yeah, all those survival preps you guys have stockpiled will finally start to come in handy.

I am amazed at the sheer volume of incidents that are the direct result of incompetence in high office. While this concerns FBHO, off the top of my head I can also think about ATF, CDC, FBI (Dorner), DOJ, IRS, DHS...

I heard on the radio a while back that there is a 30-40% chance of someone carrying Ebola into the US before the end of this year.

there's a reason that HIV rates in the "inner cities" of the USA are on par with rates in the Congo - people in both places act the same way
why would ebola be any different?

Bringing a small number of people to dedicated treatment centers is a fairly low risk situation.

And not something we should be concerned about when we still have free air travel and 2 wide open boarders.


The only way to secure the country from Ebola would be to shut down both boarders and close off all air and sea travel to or from the US. Which would wreck all sorts of havoc on the economy.

Haemorrhagic fevers



Haemorrhagic fevers are viral infections; important examples are Ebola and Marburg haemorrhagic fevers, Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF), Rift Valley fever (RVF), Lassa fever, Hantavirus diseases, dengue and yellow fever.



Hantavirus diseases, dengue and yellow fever are described separately.



Cause




Viruses belonging to several families. Ebola and Marburg belong to the Filoviridae family; hantaviruses, CCHF and RVF belong to the Bunyaviridae family; Lassa fever virus belongs to the Arenaviridae family; and dengue and yellow fever belong to the Flaviviridae family.



Transmission




Viruses that cause haemorrhagic fevers are transmitted by mosquitoes (dengue, yellow fever, RVF), ticks (CCHF), rodents (Hantavirus, Lassa) or bats (Ebola, Marburg). For Ebola and Marburg viruses, humans have been infected from contact with tissues of diseased non-human primates (monkeys and apes) and other mammals, but most human infections have resulted from direct contact with the body fluids or secretions of infected patients. Humans who develop CCHF usually become infected from a tick bite but can also acquire the virus from direct contact with blood or other infected issues from livestock or from infected patients. RVF can be acquired either by mosquito bite or by direct contact with blood or tissues of infected animals (mainly sheep), including consumption of unpasteurized milk. Lassa fever virus is carried by rodents and transmitted by excreta, either as aerosols or by direct contact. Some viral haemorrhagic fevers have been amplified in hospitals by nosocomial transmission resulting from unsafe procedures, use of contaminated medical devices (including needles and syringes) and unprotected exposure to contaminated body fluids.

I love how a month ago so many members said others were too naive and crazy and it was impossible for this to happen.
If this Ebola, where are you doubters now?

Ummm, we don't weap on the bodies of the dead. We don't ritually wash corpses with water as part of a mourning ritual.

Yes Ebola could make quick work of impoverished communities if it were introduced, but it would burn out relatively quickly.
