CDC returns worker home after possible Ebola contact
By Elizabeth Cohen, Senior Medical Correspondent updated 1:56 PM EDT, Wed August 27, 2014 (CNN) -- A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staff member has returned to the United States from West Africa by charter flight after the employee had low-risk contact with a health worker who tested positive for Ebola. The CDC worker was in close proximity to the ill person, but is reported to be healthy and has no symptoms. Close proximity means that the CDC employee was within three feet of the ill person in the same room for a prolonged period of time. The returning CDC staff person is rotating back to the United States, as scheduled, from an assignment in West Africa. |

Let's pray they put themselves in quarantine......but I'm guessing that will be optional, as that seems to have been the case so far.....EEEKK. And close proximity gets them flown home but close proximity on an airline is nothing to worry about, right WHO?

If you watch the UNSG Ban Ki Moon's statement encouraging totally OPEN, unrestricted borders and discouraging any kind of border control or monitoring? WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO HEAR TO CONVINCE YOU this is a BIOWEAPON released for 'sustainable population' de-growth?

Well, it's spread via airborne transmission within 3 feet. Good idea to get him out of there. The WHO has pulled out of one of their spots, so has Canada, and glad to see the CDC taking care of their own too. They should protect themselves and prepare to engage in the Ebola battle soon in their own countries. Seal the damn borders and impose immediate travel restrictions - otherwise a global Ebola pandemic may be imminent. Move your pieces wisely in this game -
You will see.... limited airborne. Winter is approaching in 30 days and they should prepare to protect their own peeps. Africa is one big cesspool either way. How tough can it be to get in front of the wall moving East in Africa and seal the borders? Close them. Impose travel restrictions, or my pit bulls will certainly eat dead bodies in the streets here - no prob. |

Mariot. Well, if you consider it's lethal to 90% and then realize that so many dead would cause half the Ebola survivors to parish as well from all the issues that would crop up from so many bodies, what you're left with is a population equal to what it was during the Black Death Pan of the 1330's. Somehow I don't think that would be the goals of anyone outside of a few nut-ward cases or fictionally by a novelist. Now I know there are nut-ward cases all over the world in high places but they would have to be completely surrounded by nut-case colleagues to pull it off. Nut cases are almost always loners. And if a group were to get together there's always one or a few who are suddenly normal again and would spill the beans. I mean what nut case wouldn't want to prove he's normal by saving humanity? Nobody left to remember the bad guy or everybody left to remember the misdiagnosed good guy? I don't know. Mother Nature needs no colleagues and she's a loon it seems.

I think such loons are far more common than you think. In living memory alone, Nazi Germany, Pol pot, Pinochet, Rwanda, Bosnia, North Korea, Idi Amin, Stalin (60 million of his own people) and of course my favourite Hobby-horse-of-death militant Islam. Not only is that not a complete list, it is not even the tip of the iceberg.
We are a marvelous species in some ways, but we are not exactly stable. |
