Ebola Virus officialy in the USA!!

The Doctor that is infected has arrived in Atlanta today, What is everyones thoughts on that.

The walking dead started in Atlanta...

Honestly, the recent events of the anthrax exposure at the cdc has shaken a lot of people's faith in its protocols and security. One of my past professors previously worked at the cdc and he told us about them using duct tape to seal holes and cracks in the walls in biological labs.

I want to know Who made the decision to bring him to the states and why? why didn't the CDC or WHO send staff and equipment there to treat him.

I would think that the CDC already has all ebola strands in the lab.

This disease is reasonably easy to control. The problem is that people don't listen to the preventative measures. Imagine a mother or father not tending to their sick child.

I still have a bad feeling about this disease though. Imagine if 6 out of 10 of your people were just dead.

The CDC and WHO say this this is a contact transmission, its not air borne, well neither is Aids and I don't see them using full haz-mat suites with aids patients but why with Ebola, If there is that much risk of contamination from contact that you need a full suite, why even bring him here to the states.
And yes CDC does have all the strains of the virus already, but it s a big difference from being frozen in a lap , and being driven down busy streets and flown across country, with a lay over in Main. I dont usually get that jittery hair stand up on my neck bad feeling about much but I sure do about this one! I see epic fail on the horizon.

I bet that hospital sees less patients showing up for a while... Given the current state of disease transmission within hospitals anyway, it would sure give me pause.
I was in a hospital 6 weeks ago and in the pre-op area there was this huge spider crawling around on the floor and up the wall and gone into the drop ceiling. One of those jumper type spiders.
So yeah... isolation... sure it is.

I would suspect that if you had it you would want the best treatment available. Hopefully, your employer would agree, which appears to be the case here. This is such a high profile case that Emory University and the US Government et.al. will have tight reign on it. Emory isn't the CDC so anecdotal stories aside you can't compare the two. You'll also note that there were no outbreaks from the CDC issues.

Incidentally, this isn't the first time ebola has been in the US. It's actually been here for several decades. Humans contracted the virus in Virginia in 1990. It was isolated in monkeys in the US again in 1996. I wish him the best and hope they find a treatment for a truly terrible disease.

I might also add that ongoing research has been conducted on Ebola here in the US at places like Scripps in Florida, University of Texas, Biocryst Pharmacuticals in either Durham, NC or Birmingham, AL (I don't which facility the testing is being done), Baylor College of Medicine in Houston and probably a lot more including USAMRIID. I don't have any idea whether they work with live, weakened or dead virus but I'm sure some are working with live virus. And Ebola isn't the worst disease housed in US facilities.

i think its crazy to bring them here.why not keep them where they were and treat them there?
gosh.
and they say u cant get it easily but they are in ful blody suits.plenty scary.

I would hope that I would have the sense not to want to infect others with something so nasty and deadly and take my chances on being treated in place. To do otherwise is selfish.

Isolated instances, called "anecdotes" recently in the press, can, under the right circumstances become trends or even full blown localized disasters. Ask our Governor Anecdote about the compounding pharmacy disaster here in 2012. Things that shouldn't happen, can and do happen.

I'm sure everything in Atlanta will go fine. And I wish the patients well and hope they recover.
But I don't have to like it.

It just might be that the medical teams that are treating the sick in Africa are being exposed to the virus OUTSIDE the hospital environment and not just due to contact with the patients.

Why would the CDC send teams into an area that is not secured thinking they could control the team's exposure in an uncontrollable situation?

Here they can quarantine the entire team as they treat and until after the known incubation period is over.

From what I've heard, there is no "ebola". There are several (at least two) different ebolas. Two strains and one takes longer to develop than the other, People infected with the longer developing strain takes longer to realize that they have it so they feel okay when they get on the plane and, when they get off, they're sick. They are getting better at spotting cases in airports. I do wonder why it's taken so long for them to figure it out, though. There have been several cases like this world-wide recently.

I would certainly want to be treated in the United States. From everything I have read, these cases should be fairly easy to isolate. It's when you have infected people/monkeys and don't know about it that an outbreak spreads. I hope they are able to help these two, which in turn may lead to helping many others. Currently Ebola Hemorrhagic disease has about a 90% mortality rate.

There is not the stigma with the disease here in the US that there is in Africa. Over there, large areas exist in which the people think the doctors have brought the disease to them and they won't go to the doctors. Other areas when they contract the disease the patient hides letting the family take care of them. And still other places have stoned the doctors when they arrive. Yeah, I'd love to be treated in a place like that. Had that outbreak occurred here we would have probably contained it much quicker with far less loss of human life because people are educated and less superstitious here. We actually seek treatment and generally do so earlier in the disease life cycle.

Aye, we don't have epidemics of the Plague here (knock on wood), but we certainly have it.

Excellent case in point. There are usually cases of it each year.

This is the kind of thing I worry about FAR more than bringing the doctor back to the U.S.. If this does turn out to be Ebola they will have to start tracking all his contacts and their contacts et. al. I assume he arrived here by plane so everyone on the plane would be suspect as would any airport that he passed through. The numbers become pretty scary pretty quickly.

Of bigger concern to me are the people streaming across our southern border that originated from countries where Ebola has broken out. Many have been detained, but I suspect many more have made it through.

This is the perfect opportunity for terrorist groups that would want to do us harm. All they have to do is exploit our porous border and aid those that cross it - either financially or physically.

Well, you are spot on with that post!
