I keep reading that four of the beds are occupied. Vinson, Pham, and the NBC Cameraman are three. Who is the fourth?
Exactly, who is the fourth? Another secret or lie from our government? Maybe why they’re scrambling?
Even so, that’s still not the correct number. Everytime there’s an article, the number at each and the total keeps changing. WHY is that, huh??? Below are the number of beds from either their websites or researching it over the past couple weeks. The last two days, they’ve not included Ft. Detrick which is very telling. IMO, that means they’re saving those for our military who will be bringing it back. There are at least 22 civilian beds.
Isolation Unit Beds:
2 - Emory, Atlanta.
3 - The Care and Isolation Unit in Missoula, Montana, opened in 2005 by the National Institutes of Health to serve lab workers at Rocky Mountain Laboratories, hasn’t yet served an infectious disease patient, only a handful with tuberculosis or contagious bacterial infections. The rooms look like everyday hospital rooms—white, sterile, a TV and window for entertainment. That’s because St. Patrick Hospital retrofitted three of its ICU rooms to make the unit.
10 – Omaha, Nebraska Medical Center run twice yearly drills with decontamination at their hospital’s 10-bed biocontainment unit. Opened in 2005. Has never had an infectious disease patient. Prior to Dr. Sacra in Sept., the unit had only briefly housed one patient with malaria five years ago. Malaria does not require quarantine.
7 - NIH opened a seven-bed Special Clinical Studies Unit at the Clinical Research Center in Bethesda to replace it. Its four patient rooms (two doubles and a single). Bethesda unit has only served a patient with a drug-resistant bacterial illness. “It can handle the highest level of respiratory virus, but Ebola isn’t even spread that way,” said Richard Davey, deputy clinical director of NIH’s Division of Clinical Research.
? - US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) – Ft. Detrick, Maryland.
I see no news articles on Pham's boyfriend more recent than two days ago. He might be the fourth. Has anyone seen a recent follow-up on his case?
