New York Mayor Bill de Blasio to hold a media availability at about 4:15 pm ET in the Bellevue Hospital atrium lobby, office says - @NYCMayorsOffice

Omg during the press conference (ongoing) they put out a photo labelled "CORRECT PPE" and it appears to be just a paper gown, A LOOSE HOOD, LOTS OF SKIN EXPOSED (whole bare arms exposed) with short gloves. It was only a glimpse, I hope we get a better look at that!

No wonder nurses are freaking!!
NO DOCTORS ANYWHERE EVER COME UNDER THE THREAT AND DANGER THAT A NURSE IS EXPOSED TO! The doctors RARELY, IF EVER EVEN TOUCH AN EBOLA PATIENT! Not even in the same league with nurses who are compelled to touch them and are exposed to infective body fluids many times a day!

NYPD Stunner: Cops Exit Ebola Victim Apartment,
Dump Gloves, Masks In Sidewalk Trash Can

If there was one theme from last night's Cuomo/De Blasio Ebola press conference
it was 'how everyone has been preparing for months' for Ebola. We can all be
reassured, right? Wrong! As The Daily Mail reports (and these stunning photos
show), the police officers involved in securing Dr. Spencer tossed their
gloves, masks and the caution tape used to block off access to his
apartment in a public trash can.


Not just any trash can, but one on a public street corner...









While it is unclear whether the police entered the apartment (which is now locked
down and isolated), some are suggesting that for the sake of safety - not to mention
public sanity - it would have made sense to discard of these masks and gloves and
tape in a biohazard bag.

* * *
Seems like not everyone has been preparing for months (since August) for Ebola...
no matter, we are all assured by Cuomo's reassuring words that Ebola is very hard
to catch (just don't tell the hundreds of healthcare workers who have been infected
despite all their precautions).

Well, I guess we know who we're gonna hear has caught it NEXT....

The economic impact may be both bad and powerful, but it's not panic.

thank you!

i am getting so tired of common sense and logical thought being construed as panic

+ INFINITY..........

Seeing pictures like those of the cops above is incredibly discouraging. It still looks to me like public officials are not taking this threat seriously at all.

5-Year Old Boy Being Tested for Ebola in NYC


http://nypost.com/2014/10/27/5-year-old-boy-being-tested-for-ebola-in-new-york-city/

A 5-year-old boy who just returned from West Africa was transported to Bellevue Hospital Sunday with possible Ebola symptoms, according to law-enforcement sources.

The child was vomiting and had a 103-degree fever when he was carried from his Bronx home by EMS workers wearing hazmat suits, neighbors said. “He looked weak,” said a neighbor.

“He was really, really out of it.”

The boy returned with his family from Guinea Saturday night and five members of the family were being quarantined inside their apartment, sources said.

----------------------------------

Hopefully it's just the flu.

Amen to THAT. And if there is supposedly enhanced screening, HOW did these folks get back in here? How did they get from the airport to their apartment? Damn, looks like I really have to start dropping bourbon in my coffee before I sign on here in the morning.

Excellent questions! I'm going through Tums like crazy.

I don't know if this was posted or not. What's with this? A girl in Spencer's apt building said the picture we are being shown is not Dr Spencer.

I think it would be more convincing if we could see the photo they are showing the girl.

Generally, people with flu don't vomit. Although, he is a little kid and that does happen occasionally.

I couldn't see a link in your post. So here's a link ... And yeah, that's weird. I agree - would like to see what picture she was shown.

Five family members, $3000+ per ticket for airfare. I don't think Africans are as poor as we have been led to believe. Call me cynical.

 

[R.Tist]

Please note that when the police officers imprudently discarded their hazmat gear into the metal mesh trash container, it was raining outside (check out the streets), and that's in everybody's favor, as the acid rain would have washed off most of the droplets (assuming there were any) left on the gloves, masks, and tape, sending them into the sewer system, where they wouldn't survive long. Thank God that NYC isn't in a sub-saharan environment.

Kitty: Not all Africans are poor any more than all residents of Mumbai are. There are rich and poor everywhere in the world, even if the latter far outnumber the former.

I do not know, just a feeling that the ones O is bringing over each month do not pay full fare if any at all.

Yes. Our church helps support an African pastor in Kenya; he in turn has seven younger pastors working under him in outlying villages. Usually the young pastors only have $20-30/month cash income, and most of them are married with children. Pastor Jonah (the senior pastor) gets more than that, but at any given time he's supporting not only his own family, but helping the younger pastors AND supporting twenty or more widows and orphans. I am totally in awe of what they manage to do on the tiny incomes that they have, but it sure doesn't run to buying plane tickets to the United States! (They need help even just to buy a bicycle.)

Another big hmmmm.

And i heard that his temporarily quarantined GF is a Democrat activist and CDC employee.

This is starting to smell

 

[R.Tist]

Just to add a little perspective to the Ebola epidemic. There have been 10,660,030 deaths from communicable diseases this year worldwide, with another person dying approximately every 2.5 seconds.

I agree something smells.

I do think Duncan was real. Just too many open ends, no closure on the family.

I do think Bently was real. Not sure about Writebol, points to Malaria not ebola.

Not sure about anyone else, too many questions.

Then these last two, Spencer and snowflake, raise a lot of questions. If the CDC was truthful maybe I wouldn't feel this way.

Maybe I've just become too skeptical of this Admin and their plans. Or maybe they know ISIS or someone is going to unleash it across the country.

I do expect Ebola to hit big time only because the gov is preparing for it as if it's going to explode.

Just can't put all the pieces together.

 

[kittyknits]

That's my point exactly. We (taxpayers) are no doubt paying to bring diseases into this country. The WHO says around 10,000 new cases a week by December in W. Africa, so a higher percentage of these travellers will be infected.

WCBS 880AM out of NYC reported around 6pm Monday that first round of tests for Ebola on this five year old child were negative.

They said he will stay in the hospital until the tests are conclusive (presumably from the CDC labs.

Summerthyme

The content of what falls from the sky in the form of raindrops is growing more toxic daily to all life on the planet, be it animal, vegetable, and even mineral. and certainly to all rivers, lakes, oceans, and soil. Acid rain (so called) has been a growing problem since we first detected the phenomenon in early 1970.

You're comparing apples to hand grenades.

Any communicative disease that kills one person on Earth every 2.5 seconds is clearly a lethal pathogen. 'Your apples to hand grenades' comment is absurd.

Some of the comments on this forum read as if you want Ebola to ravage the country, and even the world. Sorry, but I'm a little more logical than that. Of course it's dangerous, and of course we must be vigilant, but the level of upset and panic here is premature. Of course, we could manage the epidemic far better than we're doing with our open border policies, but we're nowhere near the 'panic' stage yet.
