EBOLA 70 U.S. Citizens infected with Ebola in Africa.

[China Connection]

Talking with a chap whose wife is preparing nurses to handle Ebola patients here where I live in the Land of Oz. She was told 70 Americans in Africa are currently infected with Ebola in Africa. She might run for the hills when it starts up here. She does not want to die. She takes risks all the time but says Ebola is different.

As I am reading this disease is not nice at all. But it is expected to start up here.

Putting two and two together these are probably the Ebola patients being talked about being brought to the U.S. for treatment.

So far, all the American and European aide workers that have contracted Ebola have been flown home for treatment. If there's too many, there's no way they can send them all home. The US can only treat a handful at a time supposedly.

I read somewhere that the military they are sending over was told that if they contract it, they wouldn't be sent back to America for treatment. They will be treated there in Africa.

It does bring together all the news of the new ebola treatment centers being created here in the states, and the hospitals gearing up for it, when we reportedly have just a few cases.

If that many nurses are infected then we are all screwed as it is uncontainable! I don't see us being able to handle that many either nor do I want us to. It is a horrible disease but those people volunteered to go there knowing the risks.

Sounds just like something Ebola Berry would do

Well, I've shot my credibility with just about everyone I know over this Ebola situation. I give up.

Me too, my parents think I'm crazy and need to avoid all the news and computer. They've also called me crazy and do thru need to get a shrink for me to talk to.
My husband, who believes like me, is even wore out discussing and hearing about it. Doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
So here I am.

Here's an article about that.

General: US Troops Who Contract Ebola Will Be Quarantined in Liberia

If any American soldiers in Liberia contract the deadly Ebola virus, they will be quarantined, stabilized, and evacuated to a medical facility for treatment, said the Ebola mission commander, adding that the U.S. military hospitals that will admit potentially infected troops have not yet been identified.

“If, God forbid, one of these soldiers, sailors, airmen, or marine contracted this disease, as I mentioned, they would be stabilized, they would be quarantined, we would go through the appropriate protocols,” Maj. Gen. Darryl Williams, commander of U.S. Army Africa, said on October 16 while briefing reporters in the Pentagon by telephone from Liberia. “People would be attending to them in the appropriate PPE [personal protective equipment]."

"As of today, no one has shown those symptoms. ... I’ve been here 30 days as of today,” he added. "And so they would be quarantined and then we would synchronize and work those actions so they would go back to the appropriate medical facility.”

Over 500 American troops are in West Africa, and according to Williams, none will directly be treating Ebola patients. However, he said that a select group of sailors will be handling mobile labs that contain bodily fluids of Ebola patients.

"I'm not an epidemiologist, but it's been shown that this disease is most manifest when handling bodily fluids--blood, other sorts of fluids, and there is no plan right now for U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines to do that,” said the general. “Now, the exception is the mobile labs that were here, and they are triple-protective.”

“The sailors that are in there performing the confirm-or-deny on the Ebola virus, they are wearing PPE, and they are testing for this virus,” said Williams, later adding, “They are handling specimens of people who have been inflicted with the Ebola virus.”

Nevertheless, he indicated that the risk of infection is “relatively low.”

“As long as you exercise basic sanitation and cleanliness sort of protocols using the chlorine wash on your hands and your feet, get your temperature taken, limiting the exposure, the--no handshaking, those sorts of protocols, I think the risk is relatively low,” explained the general.

Regarding American soldiers whose duty stations are overseas, William said it is uncertain whether they will have to be quarantined before returning to those stations.

How can the h*LL can this not spread. I believe Ebola spreaads just as easy as the flu. I also read troops would be sent to San Antonio, Texas if any of our troops had Ebola. Not sure if this is true. Is there a military base in San Antonio?

This was reported weeks before Duncan came to the US.

CNN reported, "There may be a lot more ebola victims being evacuated to the United States than we are been told about."

The vice president of an air ambulance service that is under contract with the State Department, Phoenix Air Group, told CNN that his pilots have transported "a lot of people who have been exposed."

This is a major wake up call.

So here I am.

I flat out refuse to talk to anyone except my husband about it. If anyone else brings it up, I will play dumb and listen to what they have to say. Guess what? I have never heard another person talk about it. People are very self-involved.

Well, I see I'm in good company.
Finally clicked that one link somewhere in July, got really concerned about it by the end of August, was told to just shut up about it sometime in September...

A couple of days ago, Bf asked, "So what's new with Ebola?"
Blackout, of course; I had no news. He wasn't impressed.
Although, at this point, he is proabably just about the best informed uninterested person out there.

 

[Hawkgirl_70]

I see there's a new thread of a possible Ebola case in New York. I normally would send a few text messages out to the family members keeping them in the know.

I just told my husband, and he said "Hmmm." That was it then he resumed working here in our home offices.

So I guess its a big shut up for me until this goes full blast around the country. And if it doesn't, then by keeping quiet keeps me from possible further ridicule from parents and cousins.

REALLY?

WHERE?


In the hospitals in Sierra Leone perhaps---no, it wouldn't be there, because all the hospitals there are so overwhelmed the govt has now simply thrown up its hands and told its citizens to care for their sick in their homes ("Die in place" instead of in the hospital...)


Liberia?--where they're working? Wait though--isn't that the whole REASON they are over there---because Liberia has ALREADY EXCEEDED ITS CAPACITY to care for its OWN ebola patients? If that's so, where would they find room for ours?


Ghana? That's where the DWB (Doctors w/o Brains, to borrow a phrase) doctor came to NYC from---who just today was taken into Belleview with a "mild case of Ebola" per CNN....



I'm not in favor of their coming home infected, either, but my personal opinion is they SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SENT OVER THERE TO START WITH.


Obola KNOWINGLY sacrificed them.


There are not enough bad words in the dictionary---or out of it--- to describe what he is for doing this to them---and us.

compassionate hugs, Hawkgirl170. That's where I am, too. The only people I DO have to vent to is my "family" here on TB (and you ARE.)

Maybe THAT helps explain--for those whose nerves I might get on---part of my passion about the issue?

Again--agreed.

Except I feel a bit more like the legendary Cassandra---tearing my hair out (metaphorically) because of not being taken seriously.

My husband isn't exactly a DGI--he's just sort of like yours---he deals with things that are too awful to contemplate by....not dealing with them. It isn't that he doesn't know they're there, but he chooses to believe it's an inescapable Juggernaut before which he is helpless, so why try?

Whereas I am the type to go down fighting, screaming and clutching at even the merest straw of some way out to the very end.

But ... to fight an invisible enemy.....


Someone here on the board now has as their sig line that they were prepared for Y2K or economic collapse or TEOTWAWKI---but not this...not ebola.....
