Ebola Has Breached USA

[Mr. Orange]

One of the nurses that treated Ducan has caught ebola.

It begins.

Second ebola case has been identified as 26yo Nina Pham, a pretty Vietnamese woman. Thanks to a worthless nigger, this woman is going to die.

 She got a blood transfusion from a doctor who recovered from Ebola so, she actually has a pretty good chance of pulling through. And, I assume younger/more healthier people definitely have a better fighting chance.. And then given she is of Asian decent... asian women dont die, they just grow incredibly old and age very little. I think she'll be fine.

As far as "prepping" goes. The problem that I see is that many situations will be a gradual decline into shit hitting the fan. Given that most of us have work and school and family obligations the idea that you could just hole up until it blows over is very naive. Especially considering the long incubation time which would mean regardless of how much of an epidemic it becomes or doesn't become you will have to wait a long ass time until it is safe to reenter society. Plus not everyone can or will hole up, at least until full scale meltdown. Imagine when the welfare office closes down, when the supermarkets close, when police and emt's stop working, when the workers in old folks homes stop showing up. A lot of these people are just going to be minimum wage workers who basically have to show up because their boss says so and if they don't they're fired. So when do you know to call it quits? What will happen when people wide scale start calling it quits?

Just saying that bugging in isn't so simple. The second you get wind of utilities shutting down, (realistically the day you decide not to show for work since everyone here is just a working class cog with responsibilities) I would get a big tarp and fill up the bath tub with water and then get trash cans etc and do the same. People who 'prep' by buying a case of poland springs are clowns.

On a different note the University of Minnisota apparently says that the standard n95 masks aren't enough to stop the spread. And that the old not airborne narrative is technically true, but realistically bullshit. All along the CDC has quietly said that it is still possible to spread by aerosole particles and the University study said something about the particles being less than 5microns meaning that they can pass through the n95 masks.

I'm very afraid but more so that pretty much nobody is prepared to bug in should they need to. And that its hard to just walk away from your job unsure if you are being paranoid and jumping the gun or making a life saving call.

Ebola is airborne, according to a new report by the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota. Researchers at the university just advised the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that “scientific and epidemiologic evidence” now exists that proves Ebola has the potential to be transmitted via exhaled breath and “infectious aerosol particles.”


The working theory about Ebola transmission currently being uttered by the CDC and the agency’s director Thomas Frieden, is incorrect and “outmoded” according to the University of Minnesota CIDRAP report. “Virus-laden bodily fluids may be aerosolized and inhaled while a person is in proximity to an infectious person and that a wide range of particle sizes can be inhaled and deposited throughout the respiratory tract,” University researchers concluded. Background information detailing why CIDRAP believes the CDC and WHO are function under an outdated mode of thought when it comes to how infectious diseases are transmitted via aerosols is also included in the new report.

 Rusty! You migrated (Vigilante here)!

 And I agree with you for the most part. While most of us would like to think we could hole up till this thing blows over.. there really is no timetable to go by. Right now is still the incubation phase.. we haven't even made it to infancy or full blown pandemic. Even while I still feel relatively comfortable at the current time sitting here in my old farmhouse in the middle of nowhere and decently stocked on more than enough firewood and food to get me through the winter, this disease still scares the shit out of me. While more modern medical facilities may make it more possible to treat the disease, what happens if it continues to mutate, becoming more lethal than it is now, and it spreads so effectively that treating the populous becomes impossible.. it already looks that way in Africa.

 Short of some sort of fast tracked experimental vaccine that actually manages to work, we may be looking at a severe cut in the human population. Odd, how such a thing would be one of the single greatest things to happen concerning the future well being of the  environment, which would please me.. It's just if anything is going to kill off large portions of the human population, I was more/less hoping for zombies or some mild form of reanimation.

 My personal idiocy aside. Isn't now really the time we should be brainstorming and planning ahead? Best Case scenario, SHTF and your preparedness allows you the benefit of waiting out the pandemic till its under better control.. Worst case scenario, they get it under control sooner and you just have some extra supplies on hand and are better equipped and knowledge for future possible cataclysmic situations.

Source?

And that the old not airborne narrative is technically true, but realistically bullshit. All along the CDC has quietly said that it is still possible to spread by aerosole particles and the University study said something about the particles being less than 5microns meaning that they can pass through the n95 masks.

And the likelyhood of an Ebola patient producing enough infectious <5 micron aerosols to constitute a significant transmission route even via "n95 masks" is what exactly?

[-SpectraL]

No surprise that the CDC and their mouthpiece media counterparts have been lying to the public the entire time, knowing full well the extent of the danger. Big Brother only cares about you. That's why he lies to you all the time. The sacks of useless shit should all be in prison as a threat to national security and breach of public trust.

Here in the Cleveland area....Ebola is the big news of the day, as the most recent diagnosed carrier was allowed to board a commercial airline over the weekend just to help plan a wedding in Akron. Turns on that plane had 5 other routes run before anyone knew, and now everyone is up in arms. As someone that is married to someone that works in the medical community, as far as I'm concerned they need to find a fuckin island somewhere and just quarantine the whole lot of them....the good of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Even crazier still, a guy just got arrested for JOKING about Ebola....as a disgruntled gambler made a smarmy comment while cashing out his chips to a cashier...

CLEVELAND, Ohio — A disgruntled gambler is facing criminal charges after he reportedly made a comment about his wife being infected with Ebola while at Horseshoe Casino Cleveland on Wednesday.

Cleveland police arrested the 60-year-old man at his home on the city's West Side, a police spokesperson said.

The man had been gambling at the casino Wednesday and had been losing money. When he went to cash out, he made a comment indicating his wife was a nurse and had just returned from West Africa infected with Ebola.

He then left the casino but a witness was able to get his license plate number.

The gaming table the man was at was shut down as a precaution. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Ohio Casino Control and Cleveland police were notified, according to a statement released by the casino.

Police were able to quickly determine that neither the man nor his wife were infected. The man's wife is not a nurse and did not travel to Africa.

An attempt to reach Ohio Casino Control, which is investigating the incident, was unsuccessful.

The suspect is in custody and likely will face a felony charge of inducing panic, according to police.

I don't know about deliberate lies. I can see why they rather not talk about specific issues e.g. if an Ebola patient sneezes into your face then, yes, there's a possiblity of infection, cue media frenzy: 'Ebola goes AIRBORNE', Public response: 'Gaaaahbalafgrgrheh!'.¹

What I don't entirely believe is the constant medical reassurances we're given of 'we can handle any outbreak *cough*unlike those African hellholes*cough*'. Then two nursing staff start drop down, one Spanish and one American. They're just 'pinprick' cases in terms of the size of the EuroAmerican population but it suggests to me that we could get a very nasty shock due to a mix of incompetence and arrogance.²

1) The bricks are already beginning to push against the 'ol public sphincter, partly thanks to the gutter press and even some medical establishments.

2) The Carlos III hospital was specifically selected to treat an Ebola patient they were prepared to receive. As for the allegations as to how the infected Liberian man in America was dealt with, if true...

It's not just when someone sneezing into your face. The moist particles from a sneeze or cough can linger while suspended in the air for several seconds and up to several minutes, depending on the environment. This makes it a truly airborne virus. This is truth the authorities have been deliberately lying to the public about.

In the wintertime, viruses last much longer than this outside, more like several days or even weeks.  When places like the CDC store viruses, they freeze them, and the outside in the winter is just a huge open-air freezer.

So if this takes off, there will probably be reservoirs of the virus laying around in places that get cold winters, and ebola will become seasonal like the flu

This is supposed to be serious shit, n95 masks like this



won't cut it, you need shit like this:



and that guy is just walking around like nothing is wrong.
