Firestone tire company seems to have stopped the spread in its area of Liberia.

This is bad, really really bad.

I've been watching the news this morning about this.
They're already backing down from the previous claim that direct contact with an infected person is required to become infected.

Presbyterian Hosp is claiming that the 50 hospital workers who treated Duncan have not been allowed any contact with any other patient.
I don't believe it. They couldn't take 50 nurses off their staff and continue to operate.

They closed the emergency room at that hospital and have to divert them to others in the area.

I heard that, but they are still admitting patients.
I don't see how that can find a person who would go there.

Wouldn't you have liked to have the look on Jenkins face when they told him ?

Also are we sure that this is not a plot by Perry ?

They're all claiming now that they expected on or two more cases caused by Duncan.

If there are 50 new cases within the next week, they'll say they expected that.

Didn't I hear them say a few days ago that it was under control ?

Yep. "We've stopped it dead".

Chant diversity is our strength and this country is a land of immigrants until it goes away.

The essential lynch pin in preventing panic is the claim that a person cannot spread the virus unless they are showing symptoms.
They keep repeating this. This limits the people who have to be monitored to about 60.
I posted an article last week from an Ebola researcher saying he wasn't sure that was true- that was pure speculation.

What they mean by diversity is a mixture of Ebola, AIDS, Marburg Virus and Tuberculosis.

Also, some Canadian researchers recorded a case of Ebola spreading between monkeys and pigs which they could only explain by airborne contagion.

The health care workers that take all of the precautions are the ones that keep getting the disease.

The CDC/government are lying to us.

Airborne is a definite possibility.
The CDC official position was that the method(s) of transmission were not completely known.
When the Dallas case came along they changed that on their website to direct contact with bodily fluids.

Talk about blaming the victim. If a nurse gets Ebola it is because she violated protocol. The officials in Spain took the same tack.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A top federal health official says the Ebola diagnosis in a health care worker who treated Thomas Eric Duncan at a Texas hospital shows there was a clear breach of safety protocol.

Dr. Tom Frieden, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, says the worker had treated Duncan multiple times after the Liberian man was diagnosed.

Frieden tells CBS’ “Face the Nation” that all those who treated Duncan are now considered to be potentially exposed. Frieden couldn’t give an exact number.

Health care workers treating Duncan were to follow CDC protocol that included wearing protective gear.

Among the things CDC will investigate is how the workers took off that gear — because removing it incorrectly can lead to a contamination.

Duncan died of the disease last Wednesday.

Isn't this what is called circular reasoning? What about the possibility that existing protocols are not adequate?

“I think the fact that we don’t know of a breach in protocol is concerning, because clearly there was a breach in protocol,” Frieden said. “We have the ability to prevent the spread of Ebola by caring safely for patients ... We’ll conduct a full investigation of what happens before health workers go in, what happens when they’re there, and what happens in the taking out, taking off their protective equipment because infections only occur when there’s a breach in protocol.”
