EBOLA Ebola confirmed in NYC

[Doomer Doug]

This case is a very interesting example of what I am talking about when I say, whatever "they" intend reality is defined by itself. The CDC and Obama have made a political decision to suppress Ebola information until after the elections. Yet, here we see chaos in action, the universe showing that it does what it does, when it does, and for reasons beyond humanity.

Yep, the CDC and Obama data muzzle just collapsed. This New York City case will shatter the CDC and Obama mantra. Ebola is now in play political aspect wise, and it WILL have a direct impact on the elections on November 4th. Poor Obama, not only is he being ignored by his own Democrat Party, mocked by the Republicans, even the universe is laughing at him. So Obama, you want to cover up potential Ebola cases until after the elections? Guess what, bozo your not restrict flights from West Africa just spit a loogie on you!!!! <G>

The other thing is this shows the enhanced Ebola screening at airports is a FARCE. The one thing Obama and the CDC have done, to deal with the political damage from not banning flights, is now shown to be a total failure 10 days before the election.

John, I got to tell ya, Obama is likely foaming at his mouth right now. Obama gets a direct Ebola crisis in the core uber liberal bastion of New York City 10 days before the election. Yep, karma is a bitch ain't it Obama? <G>

Returning DWB workers need to stay within 4 hours of an Ebola facility. They don't have to report until they have symptoms. So once they have symptoms they will feel like driving 4 hours?? Or someone else will take them, and be closed in a car with a symptomatic person for 4 hours? or they will take some kind of public transportation because they don't feel well enough to drive 4 hours? Or it's true that Ebola has a mental component, and a mentally impaired patient will drive 4 hours on our highways? Somehow 4 hours away seems a little far....

Maybe the mental health component sheds light on why so far all those in the U.S. have recovered from Ebola (except Duncan who didn't get hospitalized soon enough). Perhaps one reason is that they started receiving strict hospital care before any mental anomalies kicked in, they were watched so closely that they were unable to flee or do anything else that would compromise their health or other's.

Just in time for new NY / NJ Quarantine

BOOM !!!

MSNBC reporting that quarantined HCW at University Hospital in Newark, NJ (who treated Ebola cases in western Africa) has a fever.

Yeah. The one who was pissed about not being able to move around freely. The one whose friends tweeted in anger on her behalf.

 

[Cascadians]

NEWARK (WABC) -- A health care worker arriving from Africa who was placed in mandatory quarantine as part of a new policy by the governors of New York and New Jersey has developed a fever.

The state health department said the woman had no symptoms upon arrival at Newark Liberty Airport, but on Friday night she developed the fever and is now in isolation and being evaluated at University Hospital in Newark.

"You can't make this $#!+ up."

 

[Cascadians]

" ... The quarantined woman, a US citizen and healthcare worker, began her travel in Sierra Leone and did not show any symptoms, officials said.

It was unclear where she would be kept under quarantine for the disease’s three-week incubation period – and Christie turned sarcastic when asked where she was being held.

“I don’t know. She’s not in the United Lounge I can tell you that. She’s probably getting pizza at Sbarros,” he said, before adding that she was in a secure area.

But a friend of the woman’s, Dr. Seema Yasmin, furiously ranted on Twitter over the new guidelines and how her pal was being treated, saying she was given no information after she was ordered to be placed under quarantine.

“My friend an MSF nurse is being held against her will at Newark airprt [sic] because she returned from a grueling month treating #Ebola in West Africa,” she tweeted.

“She has no symptoms, not allowed to leave Newark airport, no info on who is keeping her. She is tired, hungry, distraught,” she said in a follow-up.

“If you want to quarantine #nurses returning from #Ebola hot zone, pls give them more than a granola bar & please tell them what is going on,” she said in another in a series of angry tweets.

Something I've been asking myself is this: when is the panic gonna really get going? I've believed a panic would most likely originate out of NYC or NJ (those people are wound especially tight, anyways) - and now that we have a confirmed case (along with likely several other cases) I'm wondering when panic will occur, and when rioting will occur.

I figure the panic might already be underground - less people going to work, less people using the subway, etc. But at some point, I believe this will raise its ugly head into NYC's mainstream consciousness.

What do y'all think?

Yep, mainstream news is picking it up now. Good catch!

http://pix11.com/2014/10/24/healthc...frica-isolated-with-fever-at-newark-hospital/
NEWARK, N.J. (PIX11) – A healthcare worker who was treating Ebola patients in West Africa has been isolated at University Hospital after developing a fever Friday.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced mandatory quarantine for people flying into area airports who may have had contact with people sick with Ebola after a NYC doctor was diagnosed with the disease after riding the subway, visiting the Highline and bowling at a Brooklyn bowling alley.

Christie said that the healthcare worker had flown into Newark Airport, and quarantined — although she was showing no symptoms — after it was learned she was in West Africa.

“I have been clear that we will take whatever steps are necessary to protect the public health of the people of New Jersey which is exactly what these joint efforts with Governor Cuomo will do with additional screening and heightened standards for quarantine,” said Governor Christie. “By demanding these enhance measures, we are ensuring that any suspected cases are identified quickly and effectively, and that proper safeguards are executed.”

“Voluntary quarantined … it’s almost an oxymoron,” Cuomo said. “You ride a subway, you ride a bus, you could infect hundreds of people.”

Hmmm . . . that's quite a place to be quarantined. What happens when ebola germs are left on surfaces and newly arriving people are shoved into the same place? If you didn't have ebola when you went in, you may well have it when you get out !!

You hate sealed borders??????????????????????????????????????

Yes, I do.

If we didn't have welfare, anchor babies, free govt. education, etc., it wouldn't be easy to just show up and collect. Tens of thousands of illiterate people/criminals/children would not have boarded "the beast" over this past year to arrive needy, entitled, and with nothing to offer. Now that the arguement is about disease and public safety, everyone wants more laws, and more law enforcement, and more invasive government. So, I see no way around it, and this country is never going to be the same. Unless someone has a better solution, Yes; the borders have to be sealed.

Nevertheless, I still believe in liberty, and I don't have to like it.

I don't think panic will happen unless/until a lot of people start falling ill when the only "contact" they had was from the subway, bowling alley, front door, taxi cab or some other form of "indirect" contact (not necessarily from Spencer, but from any Ebola patient).

Even then, I don't expect riots...unless a lot of people in the NYC area start dying. Give it several months and we'll see how it's going.

We are in a post-constitutional crisis much like the many that were seen in ancient Rome after their Republic died. Amazing things will happen quickly because there is "no there anymore".

As I understand it, "isolation" is having the person stay at home as much as possible, but allowing them to go out on their own volition for things like shopping for food. (They allowed Duncan's girlfriend to do that.) They have to monitor temperature and report changes. They are supposed to avoid public transit.

"Quarantine" is lock up - not allowed out. The state must then provide for the needs of the person and becomes physically and fiscally responsible for their wellbeing. (Expensive particularly if they have to keep someone of guard to enforce.)

This is why Public Health may choose "isolation."

Gonna be more expensive if you get a dozen ebola patients thru the screening and they end up in the hospital as positives. If they are non citizens and zero insurance it will end up a LOT more expensive than just quarantining them for 21 days. AND less chance that one of those that slipped thru infects a couple dozen people in the wild.

 

[ittybit]

"Isolation", by definition, is in a medical facility, whereas "quarantine" is more loosely defined as keeping to yourself but having regular contact with people who are monitoring your vitals (Temp).

 

[ittybit]

But I have a wondering: Why is it these two (Dr and Nurse) spent weeks/months treating Pts without becoming sick. But once they leave the area they start symptoms 8-12 days after arriving here. That would seem to indicate they were exposed just before their departure, or during the period of travel. Are they getting it from surfaces on the planes or from the cabin air of these aircraft?? Did they just so happen to get stupid in the 72 hours prior to departure??

Looking at it from a probability of exposure perspective, one would suspect exposure happened either at the facilities they were working at as they were leaving, at some other points along the travel route such as in the vehicles they were transported to the airport in, at lodging near the airport, at the airport facility proper, or the aircraft itself.

Mr. Bit, That's a really good question. Maybe they came to believe that they'd contracted it, and decided they wanted to be treating in the U.S.?

Yeah. The one who was pissed about not being able to move around freely. The one whose friends tweeted in anger on her behalf.

how long after she did not have access to her stuff did she get the fever? i ask because it is pretty well known that taking ibuprofen while traveling will usually keep that fever down, and if she couldn't get to her supply of that, then maybe that is why it showed up so soon.

 

[ittybit]

Mr. Bit, That's a really good question. Maybe they came to believe that they'd contracted it, and decided they wanted to be treating in the U.S.?

I would suspect that IF their departure was sudden or off schedule. We don't know that information. But as medical professionals I highly doubt they knew they were infected before they came back.

My wondering has to do with the build up of infective material and contaminated surfaces along the trail of travel. This was something a while ago where the concentrated threat was at the treatment facilities. However, as the infections spread, as more and more people in the general public are infectious, as they all travel here there and everywhere along routes of travel, then a certain build up of infectiouos residue will begin to infect others along these routes.

Let's say that food workers in top rated hotels are afraid for their jobs if they reveal symptoms. These people probably support multiple family groups from their incomes. They might well decide to pretend they are OK to work a few more days in the hotel kitchen until one day they do not show up for work. They may well have inadvertantly cut themselves and some of their blood well could be in the fruit salad being served that evening. It doesn't take much to infect people. 10-20 virus particles getting past the skin barrier.

Seriously, at a certain point there will be so much infective material and crypto-symptomatic carriers along the major travel and hospitality routes going to the airports in these countries that ANYONE traveling along the route not wearing level2 and up all along the way till they deplane off of the regional aircraft in Europe, Britain or the USA, there will have a good chance at becoming infected.

And let us not forget the repeated reports of "westerners" continuing to party hardy and partake of the local "sex workers", that more than a few of them who are returning from their "vacations" will come back infected as well. grrr

 

[Jubilee on Earth]

Panic will be a little while yet. I just flew home today from a work conference in VA by way of DTE airport (Detroit). Every single thing was business as usual. Didn't hear any talk, didn't see any masks, no one was looking panicked or even concerned. Same ol, same ol.

At the current rate of travel, being reported (and I think this is very understated) at 150 travelers per day coming to the USA from West Africa, and the proportion of infected, asymptomatic travelers will be going up over time, we well could be importing 5 or more infected people per day. That would be 3%. That would be 35 per week, 70 in two weeks, before the first ones from 8-12 day prior start to present symptoms. Right now we've have 2 within a two week period or so. This probably indicates there are others in their cohort of travelers which have not been found yet, or not reported in the media.

I am thinking this is yet another doctor coming back now being checked out

NJ official: Female health care worker who'd been in Africa isolated with fever

http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/24/health/new-york-ebola-case/index.html

New York (CNN) -- One day after New York officials announced a Doctors Without Borders physician had tested positive for Ebola, another person who treated patients in West Africa developed a fever and was put in isolation at a northern New Jersey hospital.

The second health care worker, a woman who hasn't been identified by name, did not have any Ebola symptoms upon arrival Friday at Newark Liberty International Airport, New Jersey health department spokesman Donna Leusner said.

Yet things changed in the hours that followed. According to Leusner, "This evening, the health care worker developed a fever and is now in isolation and being evaluated at University Hospital in Newark."

Unlike Dr. Craig Spencer, the 33-year-old now in isolation at Bellevue Hospital in nearby New York City, this second health care worker is not confirmed to have Ebola.

In fact, there have been far more examples in recent weeks of suspected Ebola cases than actual ones in the United States. For all the scares, only four people -- starting with Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian who died in a Dallas hospital, followed by two Dallas health care workers who'd treated him, lastly Spencer -- so far have been diagnosed with the deadly virus in the United States.

Still, the concerns that Ebola could spread further remain real. And, especially amid criticism over how the Dallas cases were handled, officials have signaled their intent to take stops to prevent it moving in.

To this end, the governors of New York and New Jersey announced Friday their states were stepping up airport screening for Ebola beyond federal requirements for travelers from Ebola-hit countries in West Africa.

The policy allows the states to determine hospitalization or quarantine for up to 21 days for travelers from the affected countries. A mandatory quarantine is called for those who had "direct contact with an individual infected with the Ebola virus," including medical workers who treated Ebola patients. In addition, people with a travel history to the affected regions but with no direct contact with Ebola patients will be "actively monitored... and, if necessary, quarantined."

The health care worker being isolated at Newark's University Hospital was among those initially quarantined as a result of this policy.

"This is not the time to take chances," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo -- joined by his New Jersey counterpart, Chris Christie -- said of the shift. "This adjustment in increasing the screening procedures is necessary ... I think public safety and public health have to be balanced and I think this policy does that."

New York officials try to reassure public

Meanwhile, there continues to intent interest on Spencer including on where he was, and what risk he might have posed, before getting hospitalized Thursday.

He arrived October 17 at New York's John F. Kennedy's airport, days after leaving Guinea where he'd been treating Ebola patients. Spencer felt fine after touching down, only to begin feeling fatigued Tuesday. But he wasn't symptomatic and didn't have a fever -- of 100.3-degree between 10 and 11 a.m., according to New York City health commissioner Mary Bassett -- until Thursday, at which time he also had nausea, pain and fatigue.

Up through that time, authorities said, Spencer limited his public interactions but did not eliminate them. In fact, he jogged along the Hudson River, rode the subway, took a cab, went bowling, visited a coffee stand at a Manhattan park and ate at a meatball shop, among other activities.

But that doesn't mean he posed to a risk during that time to anyone, beyond perhaps his fiancee and two friends being quarantined and monitored, though they feel healthy.

On Friday, authorities sought to assure an anxious public that the likelihood of Spencer spreading the virus while out and about was low.

Keep in mind that it can incubate for up to 21 days (actually longer in a small percent of the cases) so they could have been infected for the last week or two of their service before they became symptomatic over here a few days to a week or two later.

Nonetheless, solvent is a particularly useful item at this point !!

Many Bellevue staffers take sick day in Ebola panic

Staffers at Bellevue Hospital called in sick en masse on Friday as Ebola fears ran rampant.

An extraordinary number of Bellevue Hospital staffers called in sick on Friday rather than treat the city’s first Ebola patient — and those who showed up were terrified to enter his isolation chamber, sources told The Post.

“The nurses on the floor are miserable with a ‘why me?’ attitude, scared to death and overworked because all their co-workers called out sick,” one source said.

“One nurse even went as far as to pretend she was having a stroke to get out of working there, but once they cleared her in the ER they sent her back up,” the source added.

Dr. Craig Spencer is being treated by nurses working in teams of two, “with one serving as a buddy watching the other,” Health and Hospitals Corporation spokeswoman Ana Marengo said.

The Doctors Without Borders volunteer — who is in stable condition — has even been putting his medical skills to use, lecturing the staff about proper treatment.

“As a doctor, he knows a lot about medicine, so he would call the nurses station all day and going back and forth with doctors on what to do,” the source said.

The sick doctor has been passing time in his pressurized room by watching TV and eating hospital food.

Visitors are forbidden — but he’ll be able to Skype with friends and pals once his room gets outfitted with a video camera, sources said.

While officials would not divulge his exact treatment, doctors are working to keep him hydrated and comfortable.

“He will be a candidate for any experimental treatments that might be available,” said Dr. Irwin Redlener, an adviser to the mayor.
