She was symptomatic on the flight going to Cleveland as well.Originally posted by Unicorn Jeff View Post
"The search for people who may have been exposed to the deadly Ebola virus continued to widen Friday with Frontier Airlines and both federal and state officials reaching out to over 700 passengers and crew, following the diagnosis of a second Dallas nurse who took two commercial flights between Dallas and Cleveland — while possibly showing symptoms of the disease.

"Frontier Airlines has expanded to five different flights the search for passengers who flew on the same plane as an Ebola-infected nurse from Dallas. "

So what about the flight with the first dickhead that brought this shit over? Has anyone from that flight shown any symptoms, or died from this shit. Again, just hyped up shit by the media.
I was too young to remember, and without the internet may not been as bad, but when AIDS first hit US was the public as fucking crazy over it as they are Ebola?Comment

With aids we know how it's transmitted, there weren't doctors and nurses being infected with no idea of why. It's killed almost 40 million people and we know how to prevent it.Originally posted by Chopped54 View Post
In the grand scheme of things 8k people infected, 99.9% of which live in squalor conditions with almost no healthcare or formal education isn't significant but we know it kills almost 70% of those infected.
The problem here is that our government has made mistake after mistake and lied over and over again. They clearly don't have a handle on the situation. I think the average American had some kind of false sense of security and just assumed the people in charge knew what they were doing and would make good decisions.Comment

People Are Now Apparently Faking Ebola To Get Faster Medical Treatment
The Ebola hoaxes have begun.
Authorities in Columbus, Ohio, received a call around 9 p.m. Thursday, according to NBC's WCMH, claiming a local woman was suffering from Ebola-like symptoms. ABC's WSYX reported it was also claimed the woman had recently traveled to West Africa, where the Ebola outbreak has lead to almost 9,000 cases and 4,500 deaths.
Hazmat crews were sent to the woman's home, and she was taken to Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s Isolation Unit, Columbus' WBNS reported.
Once there, officials discovered it had all been a hoax.
Jose Rodriguez of Columbus Public Health said the woman did not exhibit Ebola symptoms and had not traveled to West Africa, according to the Columbus Dispatch. Tracy Smith, a battalion chief with the local Fire Division, said the woman may have devised the story because she "simply wanted faster treatment for a different illness."
“We are trying to protect the community,” Rodriguez said, “and a hoax really wasted our resources.”
Police will investigate the incident, according to WBNS.
Hoaxes tend to occur in the midst of a health crisis or national tragedy, like the AIDS crises or the 9/11 attacks.
“The more widespread the tragedy, the more attention it gets in the press over a long period of time, the more likely it is that powerless individuals will see a way of establishing control in the worst kinds of ways,” Jack Levin, a criminologist at Northeastern University and author of many books about violence, previously told The Huffington Post. He said more Ebola hoaxes will likely happen in the coming months.I wear a Fez. Fez-es are coolComment

CNN staff have been accused of making light of the deadly Ebola outbreak by posing for a photo while larking around with two men dressed in Hazmat suits.
Twitter users accused the three New Day anchors of mocking the Ebola crisis after CNN senior producer John Griffin posted the picture on social media.
The photograph appeared on Griffin's Twitter account yesterday morning and it was deleted just over an hour later. But not before Inside Cable News picked up on it and shared the image online.
One Twitter user accused Griffin of acting in 'poor taste', before adding, 'pretty sad statement from a news "leader"'.
Another commentator accused CNN of turning issues into 'CSI BS'.
According to the latest statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), the worst-ever Ebola epidemic has already claimed nearly 4,500 lives.
The vast majority of the fatalities have been in West Africa, but America has been on high alert since Ebola claimed its first victim on U.S. soil, when Thomas Duncan succumbed to the deadly disease on October 8.

Two nurses who were treating Mr Duncan also contracted the disease. But both Nina Pham and Amber Vinson are thought to be in stable condition after treatment for the deadly virus.
The distinctive full-body Hazmat (hazardous materials and items) suits with their protective masks have become a symbol of the epidemic, and have been seen on flights, at hospitals and anywhere an Ebola scare has erupted.
Although the virus has been contained in the United States, authorities have been making efforts to control the growing sense of panic among Americans.
In New York, firefighters have been banned from using the word 'Ebola' on their radios in because it could trigger panic in the city.
A New York Fire Department memo instructs all personnel to use vaguer terms when referring to the deadly virus.
Instead, they should use the code letters 'F/T', as in Fever/Travel, over the radio to indicate a 911 caller has a fever and a history of travel to West Africa.
'Just like you can’t say bomb on an airplane, we can’t say "Ebola", a source told the New York Post.
'Back in the ’80s and ’90s, taking universal precautions meant someone has AIDS. And we weren’t allowed to say AIDS either.'I wear a Fez. Fez-es are coolComment

There’s a Plush Ebola Toy Online That’s Already Sold Out
by Josh Feldman | 1:45 pm, October 18th, 2014
Here’s a phrase you probably never thought you’d hear: “Ebola toy.” But yes, there is a company, Giant Microbes, that sells a big stuffed Ebola virus. And this week the company said it’s actually sold out (take a guess why).
The product page describes Ebola as “the T. Rex of microbes” and a “fearsome frontpage disease,” as well as providing a couple of facts about Ebola and how it’s spread.
Giant Microbes makes all kinds of stuffed microbe toys, like amoebas, e. coli, and herpes. Yes. Herpes.
But now the Ebola toys on the Giant Microbes site are out of stock. The company’s president of marketing said in a statement, “We are currently out of stock worldwide. We have continued to sell out a number of times over the last couple of months.”.Comment
