Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth System- Some of their nurses were aboard flight with Vinson
FOX News8 Cleveland ^ | 10-15-2013 | Kara Sutyak and CNNwire,

Posted on 10/15/2014 5:50:23 PM PDT by tcrlaf

Northeast Ohio hospitals released the following information Wednesday night after a Dallas nurse traveled through Cleveland before being diagnosed with Ebola.

“Today, we learned that Cleveland Clinic and The MetroHealth System had employees – mostly nurses – aboard the Frontier flight from Dallas to Cleveland on October 10, returning from a nursing conference in Texas. That flight included the Dallas nurse who was diagnosed with Ebola when she returned to Dallas on October 13.

Both health systems have put all of our employees who were on that flight on paid leave while we will monitor their health daily. We are confident that these nurses are at low risk of exposure since we understand that the Dallas nurse did not have symptoms at the time. We have taken this measure as an extra precautionary step for our employees, patients, and visitors.

Cleveland Clinic, The MetroHealth System, and University Hospitals will be working closely together to keep our community safe and to work toward preventing the spread of the Ebola virus.”

This just keeps going from bad to worse.

The nurses were coming back from a National Nursing Convention. In Dallas....

One of THE premier hospitals in the nation.

It’s almost as if somebody was intentionally doing their best to destroy our ability to preserve public health.

They weren’t just sitting next to each other on the bus?

100 x 100 x 100 is a million.

If you monitor everyone who has had contact with an Ebola-positive person, you saturate your monitoring capability in 2 or 3 levels of removal.

After being told to self-quarrantine they’ll probably all run out to get soup or take a trip somewhere in a nice, crowded vehicle.

Ms. Vinson, according to Dr. Gupta, CNN, had symptoms of Ebola, despite not having the symptoms.

We do not know if on this flight she was shedding the virus via coughing, sweat, etc.

Lord have mercy on these poor passengers.

tcrlaf:" The nurses were coming back from a National Nursing Convention. In Dallas...."

Dallas Texas to Kent Ohio, the likleyhood of spreading Ebola croos-country.
Someone once said :"You're doing a fine job there , Brownie"
And now we have a "Community Organizer" in charge of the CDC .
We now have the possibility of a Nationwide epidemic , by another 'community organizer' who supports "OPEN BORDERS" instead of Quarantine .
The director of the healthcare of the Nation considers health to be secondary to political agenda.

Don’t forget she probably used the bathroom too.

Wonder where the “wastewater” went.

I’m still wondering about the Dallas sewer system which Thomas Duncan’s body waste was flushed into. And Nurse Pham’s. And who knows whose, people who haven’t manifested symptoms yet.

It was reported that Duncan’s waste was piled in barrels “to the ceiling” in his room, because they did know what to do with it according to the nurse’s union.

On CNN the medical reporter Ms. Roberts said, when she was there for the first press conference about the index patient, and when she wrote to them asking why he was not admitted, they responded, “Oh, that is just navel gazing.”

They act like this stuff is popcorn that doesn’t pop until it hits 101.4.

But if you have ever watched popcorn pop you know that some pop early and some pop later.

If she was warming up, you gotta believe that she was popping some early.

They have adjusted the temperature guideline twice because both Pham and Vinson reported less than 104.1.

Pham called in sick for two days prior, and that did not raise any red flags.

And Vinson, had the symptoms of Ebola, and they still did not connect the dots... or in your example, the popped kernels.

Right now I think they are scrambling to read off the same hymn book, and present the same smiley face to the world. That is to them is what counts as competence. Strict propaganda adherence.

/What a mess. And when he still lived in the apartment with his homies, he used the toilet, one would assume, and it flushed directly into the sewer system. Then the “cleanup” crew power hosed vomit down the street drains. I have yet to see any “authority” address that issue.

For all I know, the Dallas Sewer System and perhaps water supply is now a hatching ground for young Ebola viruses, blissfully wriggling around in preparation to invade thousand’s of people’s homes via their kitchen sinks.

ADMITtedly, I don’t know how a sewer system works, but do know that ebola was traced to a dark cave in Africa decades ago. Isn’t a sewer a similar dark wet place?

I do not know if sewer systems are treated with chemicals that can dispatch the Ebola virus. If not, they should shove something down there stat.

Another side danger is the animals that thrive on waste, who then go onto to infect or get eaten by other animals, that we conceivably we could become in contact.

During this Halloween season, bats are not a fun/scary animal anymore.

Americans! Some turd-world countries fertilize their croplands with human waste.

Seriously though, what do the authorities do with Duncan's waste? Can't burn it. Is it buried, complete with barrels? Treated? If not treated, can it remain alive as a threat to future generations that dig it up?

A liberal artist will take the turds of the sanctified Duncan and make a bust or statue of him, as one I had seen done made of elephant dung at the LA Modern Museum of Art.

That’s what FReepers have been wondering about since day one...what happens to the wastes flushed into public water systems and what if animals licked the barf that Duncan left behind?
