Denver Health officials announced Sunday afternoon they have a patient in isolation who could possibly have Ebola. They say the man recently traveled to the Congo and returned to the United States a couple of days ago.
He became very sick Sunday morning, according to health officials. Then he was brought to the hospital from his hom
They say the patient is in fair condition, and Ebola is being considered as a potential, but unlikely diagnosis. Officials say the region where the patient visited hasn’t had an Ebola case for more than 45 days.
“The symptoms can mimic a lot of common illnesses… anything from the flu to appendicitis,” said Connie Price, an infectious diseases physician and Chief Medical Officer of Denver Health.
Emergency crews were seen in hazmat-like suits entering the building Sunday afternoon. The hospital is operating as normal, and officials say there is no threat to the public, including patients and staff.

“hasn’t had an Ebola case for more than 45 days”
Aww hell, he’ll be fine. Take 2 of these and AAAHHHHH
Need to photoshop some blood and guts spewing out the end of that horn...
“From an initial review of the situation and the symptoms presented by the patient, it is unlikely that this will be confirmed as an Ebola case,” said Price.”
So, even if it turns out to be Ebola, it’s unlikely that it will be confirmed as a case Ebola infection? Ok, got it.
Those people that indicate a fever are pulled, isolated, examined and still isolated until resolved.
The only American who has any necessary business traveling to the Congo is Tarzan or Jungle Jim.
Or the 0bama family.
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...
Dang. Here we go again. Nothing in the Congo is worth visiting.
“the region where the patient visited hasn’t had an Ebola case for more than 45 days.”
I feel ever so much safer./s
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
It seemed like 0bama was intentionally trying to create a path to import these patients. A way to destroy our country among the other ways being used in parallel.
[ Dang. Here we go again. Nothing in the Congo is worth visiting. ]
The only good thing we could ever do for africa is implement the “prime directive” around the whole thing...
That’s good to know.
The US should have these scanners in the Customs Line.
