CDC Demands 132 Passengers That Flew With 2nd Ebola Patient Report For Testing

• The number of microorganisms in a culture will increase exponentially until an essential nutrient is exhausted. Typically the first organism splits into two daughter organisms, who then each split to form four, who split to form eight, and so on.
• A virus (for example SARS, or smallpox) typically will spread exponentially at first, if no artificial immunization is available. Each infected person can infect multiple new people.

 

[SpiderK]

So we should find out in the next few weeks if this is just doom and gloom or a real issue ......

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa kills seven out of 10 victims and new cases could hit 10,000 a week within two months if it is not brought under control, the World Health Organisation has said

Frontier Airlines Statement

“At approximately 1:00 a.m. MT on October 15, Frontier was notified by the CDC that a customer traveling on Frontier Airlines flight 1143 Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth on Oct. 13 has since tested positive for the Ebola virus. The flight landed in Dallas/Fort Worth at 8:16 p.m. local and remained overnight at the airport having completed its flying for the day at which point the aircraft received a thorough cleaning per our normal procedures which is consistent with CDC guidelines prior to returning to service the next day. It was also cleaned again in Cleveland last night. Previously the customer had traveled from Dallas Fort Worth to Cleveland on Frontier flight 1142 on October 10.

Customer exhibited no symptoms or sign of illness while on flight 1143, according to the crew. Frontier responded immediately upon notification from the CDC by removing the aircraft from service and is working closely with CDC to identify and contact customers who may traveled on flight 1143.

Customers who may have traveled on either flight should contact CDC at 1 800 CDC-INFO.

The safety and security of our customers and employees is our primary concern. Frontier will continue to work closely with CDC and other governmental agencies to ensure proper protocols and procedures are being followed.”

Isolation and Quarantine

Isolation and quarantine help protect the public by preventing exposure to people who have or may have a contagious disease.

• Isolation separates sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick.
• Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick.

In addition to serving as medical functions, isolation and quarantine also are “police power” functions, derived from the right of the state to take action affecting individuals for the benefit of society.

Federal Law
The federal government derives its authority for isolation and quarantine from the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Federal isolation and quarantine are authorized for these communicable diseases:

• Cholera
• Diphtheria
• Infectious tuberculosis
• Plague
• Smallpox
• Yellow fever
• Viral hemorrhagic fevers
• Severe acute respiratory syndromes
• Flu that can cause a pandemic

Federal isolation and quarantine are authorized by Executive Order of the President. The President can revise this list by Executive Order.

Under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S. Code § 264), the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services is authorized to take measures to prevent the entry and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and between states.

The authority for carrying out these functions on a daily basis has been delegated to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

CDC’s Role
Under 42 Code of Federal Regulations parts 70 and 71, CDC is authorized to detain, medically examine, and release persons arriving into the United States and traveling between states who are suspected of carrying these communicable diseases.

As part of its federal authority, CDC routinely monitors persons arriving at U.S. land border crossings and passengers and crew arriving at U.S. ports of entry for signs or symptoms of communicable diseases.

When alerted about an ill passenger or crew member by the pilot of a plane or captain of a ship, CDC may detain passengers and crew as necessary to investigate whether the cause of the illness on board is a communicable disease.

State, Local, and Tribal Law
States have police power functions to protect the health, safety, and welfare of persons within their borders. To control the spread of disease within their borders, states have laws to enforce the use of isolation and quarantine.

These laws can vary from state to state and can be specific or broad. In some states, local health authorities implement state law. In most states, breaking a quarantine order is a criminal misdemeanor.

Tribes also have police power authority to take actions that promote the health, safety, and welfare of their own tribal members. Tribal health authorities may enforce their own isolation and quarantine laws within tribal lands, if such laws exist.

Who Is in Charge
The federal government

• Acts to prevent the entry of communicable diseases into the United States. Quarantine and isolation may be used at U.S. ports of entry.
• Is authorized to take measures to prevent the spread of communicable diseases between states.
• May accept state and local assistance in enforcing federal quarantine.
• May assist state and local authorities in preventing the spread of communicable diseases.

State, local, and tribal authorities

• Enforce isolation and quarantine within their borders.

It is possible for federal, state, local, and tribal health authorities to have and use all at the same time separate but coexisting legal quarantine power in certain events. In the event of a conflict, federal law is supreme.

Enforcement
If a quarantinable disease is suspected or identified, CDC may issue a federal isolation or quarantine order.

Public health authorities at the federal, state, local, and tribal levels may sometimes seek help from police or other law enforcement officers to enforce a public health order.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Coast Guard officers are authorized to help enforce federal quarantine orders.

Breaking a federal quarantine order is punishable by fines and imprisonment.

Federal law allows the conditional release of persons from quarantine if they comply with medical monitoring and surveillance.

 

[SpiderK]

Passed by George W. Bush in April 2003, which allows for the, “apprehension, detention, or conditional release of individuals to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of suspected communicable diseases.”

The amendment signed by Obama replaces subsection (b) of the original Bush executive order which referred only to SARS. Obama’s amendment allows for the detention of Americans who display, “Severe acute respiratory syndromes, which are diseases that are associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia or other respiratory illness, are capable of being transmitted from person to person, and that either are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic, or, upon infection, are highly likely to cause mortality or serious morbidity if not properly controlled.”

Whether ebola is real, (and if it is) is it a real risk? or even if it is a total hoax, this is the perfect reason for rounding up the masses in a number of ways,... more invasive procedures at borders (state and country), at airports and bus stations, and more road side checkpoints and even more no-knock SWAT home invasions.

And the perfect reason to force vaccinate everyone.

I am waiting for a so-called "ebola outbreak" in a school which will give the nazis a perfect reason to ship (kidnap) all the kids off to a "safe area."

Watch for more medical screenings everywhere where anyone with a fever or cough will be subject to an ebola diagnosis. And they too will be shipped off to a "safe area."

Connect the dots.

CDC Director: No one who may have been exposed to #Ebola will be allowed to fly on commercial aircraft.

Ebola cases reach 8997, W.H.O Says .....

 

[Medusa]

Not the end of it either unfortunately . Between Ebola. And the virus from all those south American children that were put in are schools with no screening. Things are spiraling outta control

 

[SinisterOG]

Good idea to let someone who was exposed to Ebola back in the US. Really does it take billions of dollars to see how dumb that is?

 

[SpiderK]

Playing out in real time ....

Cleveland hopkins airport has implementing its infectious disease protocol

 

[ShroomKing]

If it is real and nobody quarantines when asked, or self quarantines and we keep chasing down patients well after the fact. It could already be too late to stop it. As a nation we only get one chance to prevent the worst from happening, yet Im afraid our current state of mind as a nation has us divided beyond cohesion.

 

[sixstring]

Let me be the first to say"ebola is real" lmmfao at some of the conspiracy theory people here.it is killing thousands in Africa and we will see more cases here even "if" we try to close down the borders and incoming flights.but I do think the USA will do a much better job of containing it until a vaccine is available for the public. We already know of one that works, its just hard to make and time consuming but its in the works.

 

[Medusa]

I believe the first passénger came here for help the whole family knew but the hospital was unqualified obviously. Now hundreds exposed. And it is the real deL no hype

 

[Reaper]

Not "Hard to Make"... It's not available to the general public "Period" & won't be for years... Is completely "Experimental" & none have ever been through complete clinical testing so "Nobody" can be forced to take ANYTHING... LOL

Read this info in the link below from C.D.C. if you don't believe... How many times do people have to be told... :confused:

http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/outbreaks/2014-west-africa/qa-experimental-treatments.html

I'll give this post til the end of the day before people start piling on conspiracy theory B.S. along with political "Lip Service" & this post gets locked down just like the others because people can't manage to stick to facts vs. conspiracies / political mud slingin' ;)

 

[Reaper]

Here is another little F.Y.I. for people that really want to know the truth might be interested in... and the so called vaccine for Ebola that's going to be available.

Keep in mind, One possible vaccination has just began phase 1 trial... All you need to know about "Any" vaccine coming to save anybody anytime soon & how long it will take is in the following link...

The director of the University of Minnesota's prestigious Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) tells CNN that the possibility of airborne Ebola is the sum of all fears.
In a piece by CNN Senior Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen titled, "Ebola in the Air? A Nightmare that Could Happen," CIDRAP Director Dr. Michael Osterholm said nothing compares to the threat of airborne Ebola.

"It's the single greatest concern I've ever had in my 40-year public health career," Dr. Osterholm told CNN. "I can't imagine anything in my career--and this includes HIV--that would be more devastating to the world than a respiratory transmissable Ebola virus."

As Breitbart News reported on Tuesday, CIDRAP has advised the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) that "there is scientific and epidemiologic evidence that Ebola virus has the potential to be transmitted via infectious aerosol particles both near and at a distance from infected patients, which means that healthcare workers should be wearing respirators, not facemasks."

Dr. Osterholm said the way the Ebola epidemic has been managed has been "largely dysfunctional."

"Nobody's in command, and nobody's in charge," said Dr. Osterholm. "It's like not having air traffic control at an airport. The planes would just crash into each other."

Yep, every one of these threads ends the same way, conspiracy BS and anti-vaccine propaganda. You guys know who you are. Maybe leave your political agendas at the door and these threads can continue with constructive dialogue on the topic instead.

It's all well and good to sit in the back seat with zero real world experience and criticize the CDC for their shortcomings. In fact, they're doing a very decent job. Perhaps it could have been done better, but ebola is not an easy disease to contain when it's spiralling out of control the way it is.

Let's just hope it doesn't escalate to te level of a multi-continental epidemic.

 

[SpiderK]

My take on the issue the CDC has no idea what it is doing, flying by the seat of pants ......

The outbreak has gone on for months in africa & they still allow incoming flights, even today. The nurses at the hospital treated this person for days without protective gear & let infected materials, sheets build up in a room as the disposal company would not remove it. So no emails on protocal if dealing with someone from africa ? That should be the first question asked but they sent him home at first. That tells me no preparation, no training, no planning for an issue, ebola, that should have been on the agenda at every cdc meeting or hospital.

So we have a CDC that had no planning or vision as this built outside our borders & did nothing within our healthcare system in prep. Looks like reacting instead of leadership when its your job as a multimillion dollar government agency payed and set up for something like this. So what are all the people doing who work for this agency doing if they are not proactive ? Reactive & thats a sign of being " unworthy " or inept in a position which or nation pays millions in tax dollars so this should not happen.

Then we have a person in direct contact with the first case, getting on a flight & putting others at risk. Was she being watched if so they should have known the first day she was gone, not days later after she's sick walking in for help ..... so this woman WAS NOT UNDER WATCH ..... as the CDC says. Why leave this serious issue in the hands of this nurse. Te CDC should be checking her and others double time if they had close contact.

Now they wanna tell me this can't be passed via the air , really, why they even calling in the people on that flight then. If she only had a small fever it should be no issue according to the head of CDC.

No conspiracy theory. Incompetence to little to late unfortunately. 132 on plane. Just became 100's in contact. From the guy or gal that picks up garbage , money exchanged , stewards , to family etc. spirals why was she not contained. She was one of the 85 hospital workers exposed they knew about. Incomprehensible they were not in quarantine
