District Federal.- Jose Antonio Gonzales Figueroa, the first case is confirmed in Mexico and infected with the deadly Ebola virus. Joseph was admitted and isolated immediately after going to the emergency room with high fever and having confessed that had just returned from vacation in an African country.

The first confirmed case after taking necessary and with the support of the United States government evidence, is in the city of Mexico. Young is a medical student at the UNAM of 22 who went on vacation to an African country and was there for almost a month. Young returned to Mexico on August 2 and was admitted the next day by high fever, vomiting and diarrhea. The young and being treated and medical staff came to the United States and Mexico today in the morning to determine the best control strategy.

So far the Ministry of Health has issued several statements to the federal government so far have not received any response. The releases include a recommendation to temporarily suspend the return to classes until you confirm that you have controlled the virus. The health secretary said he will continue trying to communicate with the government to prevent a pandemic

Given that 10% of the population of Mexico lives in the US and estimates of anywhere from 9 to 15,000 illegal aliens cross the southern border this does not bode well for containment of Ebola should it get a foothold in Mexico.

My biggest fear with Ebola so far is that our own government will not be truthful with us regarding testing and outbreaks because they don't want to "panic" anyone.

If we don't have the facts, then we can't respond according to our own level of safety measures such as "not flying".

Albert I really respect you and your talents, however is this a really reliable source? Maybe we the members should take it upon our selves to investigate these sources, and perhaps have two or three sources to confirm. I sincerely hope this report is erroneous. Thanks for letting my toss in my two cents.

Ebola's spread to US is 'inevitable' says CDC chief

Washington (AFP) - Ebola's spread to the United States is "inevitable" due to the nature of global airline travel, but any outbreak is not likely to be large, US health authorities said Thursday

Thanks Sleusha I had seen this claim on a really wild board and the general train of thought was this source stated wasn't too reliable. Looks think its time to top off and keep watch. Thanks again for the clarification.

Chances are he flew into Mexico city. Which according to the most recent definition agreed upon by the federal and state governments, the Greater Mexico City population is 21.2 million people,making it the largest metropolitan area in the western hemisphere, and a third world country to boot.

from the link it is clearly mentioned ciudad de mexico... meaning Mexico City....

so not it is at least on 2 continents in the most populated areas, with low infrastructure. Of course you can take into account that coming only the second day and presenting the clear simptoms.. it is probable he already infected on his way and that first day some persons around him...

That's the problem. The World Health Organization HAS been too relaxed about this. If they were vigilant in the early days, then the numbers wouldn't have been increasing over the past 4 months!

They keep telling everyone that this is hard to catch, but if that is so, why are all the health care workers wearing "moon suits"!

The CDC just said that it was inevitable that this would show up in the U.S. at some point. Of course it will because Obama sees no problem in allowing flights coming to the U.S. from W. Africa.

I'm sick of hearing these supposed healthcare professionals tell us that this is no big deal when they don't have it under control and the physicians without borders specifically said that it "was out of control".

If our own hospitals can't control staph germs in their hospitals just how do you think they'll be able to control Ebola? I'd seriously like an answer to THAT question!

I agree with Elver.  They were too relaxed to begin with.  There obviously is something to worry about or there wouldn't be so much activity working against this now.. at the last minute.  Maybe it won't spread any further, but maybe it will.  Is it worth the chance of losing nearly 1/2 of all humanity?  When something is that deadly, it should be taken extremely seriously in the very beginning... no relaxing... no procastination.  Now we need to dig stories up and demand a cure/vaccine.

If anyone has another source besides the Mexican website, please post it. Someone said several and I would be curious to see another one.  Reporters in the US are all looking to be "the one" that breaks the story so I find it hard to believe this wouldn't have been reported in the US yet if it were true.

And DESPITE the protocols and PPE healthcare workers are still getting infected. And Patrick Sawyer infected eight others. So it's hard to get? The facts seem to indicate otherwise.

Mexico: Ebola report is false

Well, that was a quick refutation. Via El Sol de México: Ningún caso de ébola en México: Secretaría de Salud. [No Ebola case in Mexico: Secretariat of Health] Excerpt, with my translation:
México.- La Secretaría de Salud de Coahuila informó que en las últimas horas del miércoles 6 de agosto, a través de un sitio denominado www.novatimes.net, se difundió una noticia sobre un supuesto caso de ébola en México, específicamente de un estudiante en el Distrito Federal.
Mexico City: The Secretariat of Health in Coahuila reports that late on August 6, a site called www.novatimes.net published a notice about a supposed case of Ebola in Mexico, specifically a student in the Federal District.
Dicha nota fue retomada a través de redes sociales por el Periódico Zócalo Saltillo, en Coahuila. De manera inmediata, se indagó la noticia que resultó ser falsa.
The notice was picked up via social media by the newspaper Zócalo Saltillo, in Coahuila. It was immediately denounced as false.
El vocero para el tema del ébola en México, Dr. Cuitláhuac Ruiz Matus, Director General de Epidemiología de la Secretaría de Salud Federal, reafirmó que no existe ningún caso en México.
The spokesperson on Ebola in Mexico, Dr. Cuitláhuac Ruiz Matus, Director General of Epidemiology in the Federal Secretariat of Health, reaffirmed that there is no case in Mexico.

My apologies for contributing to the scare. I should have checked another source for confirmation before posting.

First Mexican Ebola case confirmed (updated and refuted)

Update: See the post immediately above this one; I fell for a false alarm.

Thanks to David James for tweeting this link in El País: Confirman primer caso de ébola en México. Excerpt, with my translation:
José Antonio Gonzales Figueroa, es el primer caso ya confirmado en México infectado con el virus mortífero de ébola. José fue internado y aislado inmediatamente después de acudir a la sala de emergencia con fiebre alta y haber confesado que acababa de llegar de vacaciones de un país africano.
José Antonio Gonzales Figuero is the first confirmed Mexican case of the deadly Ebola virus. He was hospitalized and isolated immediately after go to an emergency department with a high fever and having said he had just returned from vacation in an African country.
El primer caso ya confirmado después de hacerse las pruebas necesarias y con el apoyo del gobierno de Estados Unidos, está en la ciudad de México. El joven es un estudiante de medicina en la UNAM de 22 años que fue de vacaciones a un país africano y estuvo allí por casi un mes. El joven regresó a México el día 2 de agosto y fue internado al siguiente día por fiebre alta, vomito y diarrea. El joven ya está siendo tratado y personal médico de Estados Unidos ya llegó a México el día de hoy en la mañana para determinar la mejor estrategia de control.
The first case has now been confirmed after carrying out the required tests with the support of the US government. He is in Mexico City, a 22-year-old medical student at the Autonomous National University of Mexico. The young man returned to Mexico on August 2 and was hospitalized the next day with high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. He is under treatment and American medical personnel arrived in Mexico this morning to determine the best control strategy.
Hasta el momento la Secretaría de salud ha emitido varios comunicados al gobierno federal sin hasta el momento haber recibido respuesta alguna. Los comunicados incluyen una recomendación para suspender de manera temporal el regreso a clases hasta que se confirme que se tiene controlado el virus. La secretaria de salud afirmó que seguirá tratando de comunicarse con el gobierno para evitar una pandemia en México.
At the moment the Secretariat of Health has issued several communiqués to the federal government without so far receiving any reply. The communiqués include a recommendation to suspend the return to classes until the virus is confirmed to be under control. The Secretariat of Health said it would continue trying to communicate with the government to prevent a pandemic in Mexico.

This is by far the biggest development in the Ebola story since the spread of the disease to Lagos. Tracing the student's contacts is obviously a major priority: Mexico City is at least as large as Lagos, and maybe larger, with intense and rapid traffic to North and South America.
I'll try to learn more from other Mexican media.

This is very interesting to me as I was going to post last night when I had noticed a discussion about how this could only affect 3rd world countries, and not get as bad in the U.S..  There have been 1443 undocumented illegal immigrants from 75 different countries that have crossed over our border since January of this year.  So that being said if anyone, no matter what country they originate from, would get sick, would they seek treatment  at a medical facility or would they be harbored by people in their own community? This is an assumption I would not want to make. Hedging my bets they would be kept in their local illegal communities.  www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/immigration/item/18857-immigrants-from-over-75-countries-illegally-crossing-us-border

  thank-you.  I am very concerned as well as everyone on this forum.  I have been keeping myself abreast to this situation since April of this year and traced this back to the 2 yr. old in Gueckedou prefecture in Guinea who infected her mother, grandmother, aunt, nurse,and midwife.  This situation would be as it is if the nurse and midwife, who were helping deliver a new baby hadn't been infected and gone back to the capital city.  They put a press hold on the casualties because they did not want to create a panic. That being said I was listening to the press release in March from their April press release that stated that they the W.H.O. said they couldn't contain it, at that point a reporter asked if this could be a bio-weapon, and  stated the country in which he thought it originated from and the director of the W.H.O. said yes possibly, and was stopped short in his tracks.  I saved the presser because while I was listening to the mp3 recording which was 44 minutes long stopped playing 25 minutes into it and was subsequently erased.

This is a dead story. Albert, can you lock this particular link so that people cannot revive it? For people just seeing the original post, they could get the impression that this is a recent confirmed case of ebola. Which it isn't.

And the person who felt the need to revive this post offered nothing meaningful to the topic whatsoever.

Hello everybody!

I am currently doing a small research for university about ebola and a possible conspiracy theory behind it.

What do you think about Chris Brown's tweet on ebola? why would you think his statement is true or false? where would that rumor (or truth) come from?

Any comments on the topic would help me (except non-constructive ideas).

We can't lock the thread and do much about it.  We might be able to relocate it, but the forums are picking up and new folk may not be aware the way forums work, etc...  I agree with you though and it could be a little misleading so we may relocate to General Discussion.  Good call.

Welcome Crystalize --  inthesticks has a good point.  If you're doing research you should start a brand new thread in General Discussion as info may get lost on this thread.  Good job on the research and start a new thread and people will chine in.  I'm personally not familiar with the tweet and would like to know more. 

I'll relocate this to General Discussion with a temporary green arrow so people can still find this.

Yeah. It caught me for a minute. Duh. But I agree it is a part of the record. And who knows. Maybe it was real and they covered it up as it sometimes really looks like what has happened.

No cases of Ebola in Mexico, gov't says

Published October 03, 2014/
EFE




Mexican health authorities said there are no known cases of Ebola in the country, noting that a Ghanaian man admitted to a hospital with an unusual fever shows no symptoms of the virus blamed for more than 3,300 deaths in West Africa.

The 52-year-old man entered a hospital in the southeastern state of Campeche on Tuesday and was diagnosed with "fever syndrome," the Health Secretariat said in a statement.

Given that he had been experiencing symptoms for three days, the hospital took precautions and the patient was placed in isolation.

But the man did not present symptoms that would point to Ebola and had not been in contact with anyone infected with the virus.

The patient's condition "has evolved favorably and he is free of fever," although doctors await the laboratory results to determine the cause of his illness, according to the statement.

The Ebola virus spreads by direct contact with body fluids of an infected person.

Mexican authorities say the National System of Epidemiological Vigilance is alert to identify any possible case of Ebola and to quickly activate the standard procedures to isolate and treat patients infected with the virus. EFE

People from Mexico City vacation in West Africa? That seems odd.

Perhaps maybe with the permission of the thread originator, in this case Lopper, we can add a brief postscript at end of headline in cases where the headline says "confirmed" but is later dispelled? That would aleviate this chest pain I'm feeling right now. Cough.

My thoughts exactly. And by the way. I took two gummy bears and my chest pain is gone.
