Quote HistoryQuoted: Casual contact such as a doctor examining a patient can transmit it? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I have a hard time reconciling the claims that Ebola is as hard or harder to catch than HIV or Hep, yet US trained medical workers are contracting it? They cant all be having unprotected sex and sharing needles with the patients. Casual contact such as a doctor examining a patient can transmit it? How many patients did Dr. Brantly see in his clinic a week, do you imagine? Probably dozens, if not hundreds. Think of all the exams, and what kind of contact the doctors have over there with the rampant malaria, chorea and other diseases. |

I just spoke to a friend tonight, here at work, who does missionary work in Sierra Leon (sp?). Her preacher, or whatever he is, has a brother who's church is there. He stated that 800-1000 are dying a week there. He said some other stuff, but I'm pushing the CSB limit as it is.

Heavy Metal
From the Mayo Clinic Intranet on Ebola Mangement: "Hospitalized patients with suspected Ebola will be placed in Modified Droplet Precautions." Definition of "Droplet Precautions":Droplet Precautions, guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for reducing the risk of droplet transmission of infectious agents. Droplets are generated from the source person primarily during coughing, sneezing, talking, and performance of certain procedures such as suctioning and bronchoscopy. So it may be on the ground in WV but the concern for "airborne" exists elsewhere. |

What I learned from this post.
1. We have a report from a trusted medical facility that says Ebola is bad. 2, We have a member claiming to be a Mayo clinic Dr, saying Ebola is bad. I see no reason to doubt this claim of profession. 3. We have everyone else on the site saying NO it is blown out of proportions. 4. We have a shit ton of experts on here.  
While not totally alarmed, I will side with the Ebola is bad crowd until I see how this shakes out. |

If a doctor tells you Ebola is airborne, time to find a new doctor. Quote HistoryQuoted:
If a doctor tells you Ebola is airborne, time to find a new doctor. Only people who hate science think Ebola is not airborne. There is thing called 'research' that proves that Ebola is airborne. From Pigs to Monkeys, Ebola Goes Airborne Nov 21, 2012 When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air.
The team, comprised of researchers from the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease, the University of Manitoba, and the Public Health Agency of Canada, observed transmission of Ebola from pigs to monkeys. They first inoculated a number of piglets with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus. Ebola-Zaire is the deadliest strain, with mortality rates up to 90 percent. The piglets were then placed in a room with four cynomolgus macaques, a species of monkey commonly used in laboratories. The animals were separated by wire cages to prevent direct contact between the species. Within a few days, the inoculated piglets showed clinical signs of infection indicative of Ebola infection. In pigs, Ebola generally causes respiratory illness and increased temperature. Nine days after infection, all piglets appeared to have recovered from the disease. Within eight days of exposure, two of the four monkeys showed signs of Ebola infection. Four days later, the remaining two monkeys were sick too. It is possible that the first two monkeys infected the other two, but transmission between non-human primates has never before been observed in a lab setting. Dr. C.J. Peters, who battled a 1989 outbreak of the virus among research monkeys housed in Virginia and who later led the CDC's most far-reaching study of Ebola's transmissibility in humans, said he would not rule out the possibility that it spreads through the air in tight quarters.
"We just don't have the data to exclude it," said Peters, who continues to research viral diseases at the University of Texas in Galveston. In late 1989, virus researcher Charles L. Bailey supervised the government's response to an outbreak of Ebola among several dozen rhesus monkeys housed for research in Reston, Va., a suburb of Washington.
What Bailey learned from the episode informs his suspicion that the current strain of Ebola afflicting humans might be spread through tiny liquid droplets propelled into the air by coughing or sneezing. "We know for a fact that the virus occurs in sputum and no one has ever done a study [disproving that] coughing or sneezing is a viable means of transmitting," he said. Unqualified assurances that Ebola is not spread through the air, Bailey said, are "misleading." Peters, Russell and Bailey, who in 1989 was deputy commander for research of the Army's Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, in Frederick, Md., said the primates in Reston had appeared to spread Ebola to other monkeys through their breath....
"Those monkeys were dying in a pattern that was certainly suggestive of coughing and sneezing — some sort of aerosol movement," Bailey said. "They were dying and spreading it so quickly from cage to cage. We finally came to the conclusion that the best action was to euthanize them all." http://healthmap.org/site/diseasedaily/article/pigs-monkeys-ebola-goes-airborne-112112 http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-ebola-questions-20141007-story.html#page=1 |

The potential for a wider outbreak is actually ggreater in a cooler climate. Why do you think they are rolling in level A hazmat gear to take suspected patients off planes? Its not because that suit is fun to wear, trust me. ETA we don't handle HIV patients with the quarantine and suits, yet CDC is essentially saying that ebola has similar risk of trasmission as other blood borne pathogens. Doesn't that strike anyone as odd? We handle these suspected patients like they are covered in sarin or VX yet we refuse to limit travel from the source? We screen them for a fever that they may not exhibit for 21 days after they are infected...then we turn them loose in society? What's the point? |

So is this really only the 3rd case in the US? I mostly glance over the GD thread titles here in GD I thought there were many more infected. other than the cases medivaced here on purpose, there has only been 1 case and he is dead, so right mow we have 0 cases. Well 2 cases for sure right? The guy in Texas and the guy they brought in knowing he had Ebola. There have been two brought to the University of Nebraska Medical Center and at least three to Emory. |
