Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Is it true that no symptoms = no communicability?

I doubt this is true. It doesn’t work that way for other viral illnesses such as influenza.

[willywill]

let’s sat there are people who believe that tim McVeigh was put up to what he did by people who were trying to discredit the right.
then, they might also believe that this guy was put up to spreading ebola around as much a possible to create havoc before the elections.
maybe the October surprise beckel spoke of.

[workerbee]

I think you called this, yes?

[NormsRevenge]

I am perplexed. When we cruise, we always have to sign a form stating our general health, exposure to others who may have been ill and such,. This time, define exposure in the world we live and fly around in,, I see mixed signals out there about the spread and how it may happen. Blood, Fluids, airborne, localized, nasty’

I feel sorry for all those who are subjected to stuff without knowing it. Life is a crap shoot sometimes.

[ClearCase_guy]

I keep think of "Twelve Monkeys", where the medical researcher (who doesn't like humanity very much) books a flight which takes him to pretty much ever densely populated city in the world. As the ticket agent says, "That's quite a trip, sir!"

If you wanted to spread disease, it's the sort of thing you'd do.

“Thomas Eric Duncan left Monrovia, Liberia, on Sept. 19 aboard a Brussels Airlines jet to the Belgian capital, according to a Belgian official. After layover of nearly seven hours, he boarded United Airlines Flight 951 to Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C. After another layover of nearly three hours, he then flew Flight 822 from Dulles to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the airline confirmed.”

We will need to ban all flights from Washington D.C.

[justa-hairyape]

Kinda ridiculous since there are over the counter drugs available that will mask symptoms.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Thanks, bro!

[dalebert]

Is this even his real name.

[jimbo123]

Thomas Duncan flew from Monrovia (ROB) to Brussels (BRU) on Brussels Airlines flight 1247 (SN1247) which departed ROB on Thurs. Sept. 18 and arrived in BRU early moring Fri. Sept. 19. He did not depart BRU until the next day aboard United Airlines flight (UA951) which arrived at Dulles (IAD) the same day. He had a round-trip ticket, which was purchased on Sept. 2 from an IATA accredited travel agency in Lagos, Nigeria. It appears his ticket was purchased by a company named “Silson Global Business Liberia Ltd.”. His return flight was scheduled to depart Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) on Oct. 19. The return flight was scheduled for DFW-IAD-BRU-FNA (FNA is Lungi Intl Airport in Freetown, Sierra Leone).

• When did Mr. Duncan purchase his plane tickets?
• How did he pay for these tickets?

  NYT: Mr. Duncan quit his job as a driver at Safeway Cargo, the Liberian customs clearance agent for FedEx abruptly on Sept. 4, giving no reason

  *****BACKGROUND

  Mr. Duncan had direct contact with a 7 mos. pregnant woman, 19 year old Marthalene Williams, stricken by Ebola on Sept. 15, just four days before he left Liberia for the United States.

  Mr. Duncan was a tenant in the Williams house.

  Turned away from a hospital for lack of space in its Ebola treatment ward, her family said they (father, brother and Duncan) took Ms. Williams back home that evening, and that she died hours later, around 3 a.m.

  Her brother, Sonny Boy, 21, started getting sick about a week ago, his family said, around the same time that Mr. Duncan first started showing symptoms.

  In a sign of how furiously the disease can spread, an ambulance had come to their house on Wednesday to pick up Sonny Boy. Another ambulance picked up a woman and her daughter from the same area, and a team of body collectors came to retrieve the body of yet another woman — all four appeared to have been infected in a chain reaction started by Marthalene Williams.

  A few minutes after the ambulance left, the parents got a call telling them that Sonny Boy had died on the way to the hospital.

  *****TIMELINE

  September 16, 2014 - President Barack Obama calls the efforts to combat the Ebola outbreak centered in West Africa "the largest international response in the history of the CDC." Speaking from the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, Obama adds that "faced with this outbreak, the world is looking to" the United States to lead international efforts to combat the virus. He says the United States is ready to take on that leadership role.

  Duncan boarded an SN Brussels Airlines flight. That plane took him first to the Belgian capital, and he then flew to the United States, where he arrived September 20.

  He was on two United Airlines flights -- Flight 951 from Brussels to Washington Dulles and Flight 822 from Washington Dulles to Dallas-Fort Worth -- during that trip, according to a spokesperson for the airline who did not want to be named. first symptoms 9/24

  first hospital visit 9/26

  Sunday 9/28 patient brought by ambulance to hospital and diagnosed with ebolawas seen vomiting on the ground outside an apartment complex as he was bundled into an ambulance.

• ”At the apartment complex, Osmanovic said he met the man three times over the years when he was visiting his family. Most of the neighborhood is from Liberia, Somalia or the Sudan. Osmanovic is from Bosnia.

• ”Dr. Christopher Perkins, Dallas County Health and Human Services Medical Director, said that of the 18 people who had been in contact, many were "close family members." The children among them "did not have any symptoms and so the odds of them passing on any sort of virus is very low," said Mike Miles, Dallas Independent School District superintendent.

[UCANSEE2]

The question has been raised as to whether he ‘knew’ he was sick with Ebola before he got on the flight to come to the US.

I think the answer lies in finding out WHY he decided to leave Liberia. Wasn’t there some question over whether his visa was even still valid ?

[Sherman Logan]

Man with Ebola flew roundabout trip to US (on Brussels, United Airlines)

Africa to US with two plane changes is hardly an unusual trip.

I've had two or three lengthy layovers on some domestic trips. Not at all unusual, especially if you're taking inconvenient schedule because you're trying to save money.

I once spent 14 hours in the Chicago airport, but saved $600 by doing so.

And......my wife's flying back from Brussels this weekend.

We swore off restaurants and fast food a month ago.

debated the hell out of this business travel. Guess we figgerd wrong. $hit can be anywhere now.

[Lion Den Dan]

I am beginning to think this guy is a musilm human vector. As such, he is more effective than a suicide bomber.

[P-Marlowe]

This guy obviously knew he was infected and flew here to get free medical treatment. Many more will follow if they aren’t already here. This guy caused my 401k to drop several thousands of dollars just today. He single handedly caused billions of dollars in damage to our economy and our government did nothing to stop him.

Unless our government officials get over their political correctness, 1/2 of the population of this country could die in the next year or two if this thing gets out of hand.

But our political leaders have no stomach for the measures it would take to ensure this is kept under control.

Call your congressman and Senators and demand that they tell you what they plan to do to make sure that your family is not made a victim of this epidemic. Tell them they need to shut the borders to all illegal immigration and deny visas or entrance to this country by anyone who has visited any of these infected countries in the last 30 days.

It’s not that hard, it just takes someone with the courage to make it happen.
