Officials: Alabama Home Quarantined Over Possible Ebola Case
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Aug 5, 2015, 9:51 AM ET
Associated Press

Officials say a quarantine is in place at a Birmingham home over a possible Ebola case.

Edward Khan of the Jefferson County Health Department says the patient is being treated at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital after developing symptoms and notifying authorities.

Khan says the patient recently traveled to a country with Ebola cases, but he didn't identify the country or name the patient. Khan says the patient didn't have direct contact with anyone known to have Ebola and is considered "low risk" for the disease. He says the patient is being tested and results will be released Wednesday.

Police say two family members of the patient have been asked to stay inside their home on Birmingham's southwest side. Lt. Joe Roberts says home is cordoned off and officers are guarding it.

Last year, an epidemic of the deadly virus broke out in West Africa. Federal officials say there have been four confirmed cases diagnosed in the U.S.

I put this on the July thread last night and then Exe posted a thread right after that.

I didn't see an August ebola thread.

There is a "suspect" case being treated in Bama. The person is considered "low risk" although, they have been to an area with ebola. (per WHNT just now)

Update:

Release from The Alabama Department of Public Health:
The Alabama Department of Public Health confirms that results of an individual tested for Ebola virus disease are negative. Staff had been monitoring this individual since arrival from a country with widespread Ebola. ADPH has not recommended that anyone be quarantined.

The individual under evaluation has no known exposures to Ebola and has been assessed to be at low, but not zero, risk of Ebola. The patient is improving and has evidence of an illness other than Ebola that can account for symptoms.
Out of an abundance of caution, Ebola testing was done and is negative.

An average of 8 individuals are monitored for Ebola each month; 109 people have completed 21-day monitoring for Ebola, and 4 are currently being tracked in Alabama.

The laboratory results were returned Wednesday. While this person is no longer currently under investigation for Ebola, public health will continue to monitor until the 21-day period is over.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Six Birmingham firefighters who were being isolated and monitored at UAB Hospital and a local firehouse due to an Ebola scare Tuesday night have been released after the patient's test results came back negative for the disease.

The patient, who also was taken to UAB Hospital after exhibiting Ebola-like symptoms, tested positive for Malaria, a mosquito-borne disease that's usually curable if caught in time. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 1,500 people are diagnosed with malaria every year.

The Jefferson County Department of Public Health is expected to hold an 11 a.m. news conference to update the media on the status of the patient. Watch the news conference live on ABC 33/40 TV or live online by clicking here.

Greetings, Lilbitsnana: Thank you for the update. I hadn't posted an August thread until there was some new news if you will. There is still a lock down on most reporting in the USA.

It looks like malaria. Let's hope so. Take care. BREWER

 

[pinkelsteinsmom]

Malaria my ass !

 

[Oreally]

well, the best thing about all this is that it appears that ebola isn't THAT contagious. at least in its current form.
you have to be fussing with the dead, or very near someone, touching pretty much, when they are in the last stages.
so far.

Coincidence? "Ebola Vaccine" Goes Hot In The News Just Days Before "Ebola Scare" In Alabama
DeesVaccines.jpg

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

Last week the Lancet published results suggesting the new Ebola Vaccine was "highly effective" and perhaps 100 percent effective at protecting against Ebola, the news reported by multiple news outlets and websites, pointing to trials of the single-dose VSV-EBOV vaccine which began in Guinea in March where the latest figures show over 11,000 people have died from the deadly virus.

What are the odds that just days after the MSM and other sites pick up the story that all of a sudden we see an "Ebola scare" in Birmingham, AL., despite previous reports from late 2014 that "“The Associated Press and other press outlets have agreed not to report on suspected cases of Ebola in the United States until a positive viral RNA test is completed,?" This was confirmed by a report on Natural News as well on November 6, 2014, titled "Ebola cover-up revealed! Pandemic news ordered shut down by feds as NYC Ebola watch list explodes to 357 people."

So, the MSM bows down to Washington, agrees to not report "suspected" cases of Ebola in the United States, yet this latest scare has been reported by the AP just a little over an hour ago with the headline "Officials: Alabama home quarantined over possible Ebola case," and NBC affiliate WVTM13 headlines "Man being treated for Ebola-like symptoms in Birmingham," and ABC News reports "Patient taken to UAB Hospital with Ebola-like symptoms; 8 others being monitored."

Ebola-like-symptoms-in-Birmingham.jpg

Just to name a small sample of this news and the MSM outlets reporting it, coincidentally just days after the breaking news of a miracle vaccine.

Here is the kicker... a report from AL.com, updated before the linked AP article above, states that "No Ebola found in Birmingham patient, family members, firefighters."

Why all of a sudden is Ebola back in the news here in the US?

The answer is perhaps hinted at in an Activsit Post article from August 4, 2015 where they report an entire hospital emergency room was locked down for nine hours because of a case of chickenpox, which as they note is a primarily benign disease. That article is noteworthy because of the following critical points:

Hm. Could it be because the CDC whistleblower case is back in the news, with Rep. Posey asking Congress for a full investigation into why CDC scientists intentionally destroyed documents and misrepresented data in their own study which linked the MMR vaccine to a 340% increased risk of autism?

But the ultimate question is this: Why are we passing all this legislation to attempt to force people to take these CDC recommended vaccines and give these vaccines to their children like this agency knows best for us when the CDC obviously lies and omits data from its own studies in an attempt to cover up the dangers?


All this comes amidst a very heated debate over mandatory vaccines, such as the recent enactment of mandatory vaccines for California students.

For those that do not believe in an overabundance of coincidences, this could be seen as a precursor that the vaccine battle and mandatory vaccine agenda is getting ready to accelerate.

You've seen this material before


"Where are you?" - Anonymous

I'm minding my own business.
Chasing down every Ebola story is currently rather pointless.
Consider this my Generic Ebola Response Post until further notice.

1) Ebola hasn't gone away this time, in any way, whatsoever.
Only the media's coverage of the phenomenon has disappeared.
Best described thusly:

[Picture of ostrich with head in sand]

2) What's keeping it away now is the simple fact that 99.9999% of the poor bastards in West Africa can't afford a plane ticket out. (A bus ticket to Capetown, Nairobi, or Cairo is another thing entirely).

Except for all the do-gooder doctors, nurses, aid workers, and NGO folks.
(If you're keeping score at home, that would be every non-African case of Ebola except Duncan, last year.) So nothing to worry about, because TPTB at the CDC
a) swear Ebola will never get to the U.S.
b) assure us that if it does, U.S. medical superiority will ensure that no one else could ever get it, because
c) the CDC is from the government, and they're here to help us.

3) With no media attention on their activities, the kleptocracies currently infested with the disease show no signs of ever getting a handle on it, it continues to whack people at a notable rate (viewed in historical perspective), only there's no media attention/scrutiny of their reported cases, no hordes of international help forthcoming, and a notable dearth of doctors, nurses, and assorted other necessary personnel, due to the health care worker casualties from last year's original outbreak.

4) This makes its eventual escape from Shitholia and into the larger world population a virtual certainty, the primary question becoming a game of "When?", not "If...".

5) There are still a sum total of 11 Ebola beds in wards capable of adequately caring for those with the disease, in the U.S. And 3 of those are permanently reserved for CDC and military bio-casualties, in perpetuity. So, 8 beds. Period.

6) The CDC's plan is to ensure the spread to all available health care staff members and the greater population via other patients let regional hospitals bear the brunt of caring for any additional cases by utilizing their vast expertise in dealing with pandemics, coupled with throwing hordes of untrained and unequipped staff members at the problem, until they all die or quit in droves, probably in about an exact 50/50 ratio, within 3 weeks of any U.S. outbreak greater than 2-5 cases in the same city/region.

7) Given the above, make prudent preparations, because TS is going to HTF sooner or later, given the single-minded determination to keep pointing the Titanic at a metaphorical asteroid field of icebergs at full speed, with the captain blindfolded, until one gets lucky.

Each of these things is just like the other.
In each case, the winning strategy is to be somewhere else, and stay there.
These jackasses pretend not to know any better.

You do.

Next topic.

A suspected Ebola patient has been taken to hospital in New York City after a visit to West Africa.

The patient was admitted to Bellevue Hospital suffering from symptoms associated with the deadly virus, said a city fire department spokesperson.

The sick person, whose gender has not been disclosed, was taken to the facility by paramedics.

A command post has been set up at the hospital with hazmat and decontamination units, said the fire department.

Hospital officials said the person fell ill after recently returning from a trip to Guinea.

Experts to investigate new Ebola case in north Sierra Leone
Aug 31, 2:13 PM (ET)
By CARLEY PETESCH and CLARENCE ROY-MACAULAY

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) — Ebola experts are in Sierra Leone's Kambia district investigating a case that emerged less than a week after the country's last known patient was discharged from a hospital, a World Health Organization spokeswoman said Monday.

Once the source of transmission is found and contacts are traced, a vaccination trial will also begin in the northern Sierra Leone area, WHO spokeswoman Dr. Margaret Harris said.

"It's a step back and a disappointment, but it wasn't a surprise as it's near the border with Guinea," where cases remain, said Harris, adding that further transmission can be stopped.

Samples from a 67-year-old woman's corpse tested positive for Ebola, WHO technical coordinator Margarette Lamunu said. The woman, who died and was safely buried Aug. 29, was treated at home in Kafta village, so more Ebola cases are expected, Lamunu said.

Liberia had a similar situation. A sample from a corpse tested positive in late June after the country had been declared Ebola-free in May. It was quickly contained and Liberia may again declare itself free from Ebola transmissions this week, Harris said.

Authorities decided weeks ago to extend a vaccine trial from Guinea to Sierra Leone, Harris said.

The trial for the VSV-EBOV — developed by Canada and licensed to Merck — is done where there is Ebola, she said. Experts target contacts of the infected, and contacts of those contacts to create a buffer zone around a case to prevent its spread. Now that there is a case, and once contacts are traced, they will seek participants and the trial will begin in the area, Harris said.

The worst Ebola outbreak in history has killed nearly 4,000 people in Sierra Leone and more than 11,300 overall.
