PATIENT WITH EBOLA-LIKE SYMPTOMS IN WASHINGTON, DC A Howard University Hospital spokesperson confirmed a patient is being treated with Ebola-like symptoms. There is no confirmation the patient has Ebola, but the person did recently travel to Nigeria. "In an abundance of caution, we have activated the appropriate infection control protocols, including isolating the patient," said Kerry-Ann Hamilton. "Our medical team continues to evaluate and monitor progress in close collaboration with the CDC and the Department of Health." Ebola symptoms are similar to the flu and common cold. They include a fever over 101.5, muscle pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and severe headache. The disease is only contagious once a patient shows symptoms, which is around 21 days after exposure. There are over 7,000 cases of Ebola in West Africa and 3,000 deaths. The first case in America is Thomas Eric Duncan in Dallas, TX. He is a Liberian citizen with family in the United States and travelled to America from Monrovia on September 20. He stopped in Brussels and Washington, DC.
I created a thread which does well on a platform which does well in google searches... you choose to troll for a few coins.
yours was easier to read. its all over local am radio today in San Diego. hopefully the groudswell will rise up and force them to seal the border. I saw yesterday that 70 percent of the country does not want the illegal immigrants kids to attend school til they have a hearing. That is even harder ass on this subject than I am. I simply would want a through medical exam and a non voting category for the immigrant for life that can not be changed by the will of Congress. If the person wants to vote... go through the proper legal process. I also think Congress should pay for the immigrants food and care out of their retirement incomes future campaign funds and the Presidents future book royalties. The can be called obamagrants.
Rand Paul now joins with Cruz and a few others as officially off the Bendict Arnold list. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Govern...y-Because-I-Fear-Potential-Worldwide-Pandemic GREENVILLE, North Carolina — Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said he fears the rapidly escalating Ebola crisis could become a “worldwide pandemic” and criticized President Obama for failing to forcefully confront it. “They’re downplaying and underplaying the risk of this,” Paul said in an interview with Breitbart News backstage at an event where he endorsed Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) for re-election. “They keep emphasizing that it’s so hard to transmit. Well if it’s so hard to transmit why are doctors getting it with masks, gloves, boots and hats—the whole works?” he asked. “Could we have a worldwide pandemic? The Spanish flu in 1918 killed 21 million people, the plague in the 14th century killed 25 million people; I’m not saying that’s going to happen, I don’t know what’s going to happen. But I think we should have travel restrictions at this point in time coming from Africa,” Paul added. Wednesday evening, the first Ebola patient in the U.S. was identified as Thomas Eric Duncan. Since then, questions have arisen about how Duncan got into the United States—and why President Obama’s administration has not, pursuant to sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and other federal law, taken additional steps to protect Americans from this virus. “The head of the CDC a month ago was saying it’s no big deal and that we needed to still have this conference that they were having in New York, but it’s like well gosh can we have a conference delayed for a couple months? If this thing takes off in a big city or God forbid our marines get it on a ship, all you got to do is if you’ve ever been on a Carnival cruise line and seen a virus spread on a Carnival cruise line, imagine what it’d be like on our military ships,” Paul said. Tom Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), saidFriday on CNN that restricting travel to slow the spread of Ebola to the U.S. would “backfire.” “Even if we tried to close the border, it wouldn’t work,” Frieden said. “People have a right to return. People transiting through could come in. And it would backfire, because by isolating these countries, it’ll make it harder to help
Now its 2 patients in the D.C. area. I wonder if the President is planning some trips right about now. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...aluating-patient-who-has-ebola-like-symptoms/
