Ebola-1400 Cases being Hidden in U.S. ?

CDC Quietly Monitoring 1400 Active Ebola Cases In the United States

Now we know why the 'Ebola Czar' is a public relations, and lobbyist point man, not a doctor or other health care experienced person. It is all propaganda by the government.

From Ken Jorgustin, Modern Survival Blog:

As I pointed out earlier when I wrote Ebola Has Not Gone Away where I suggested that during October 2014 the mainstream news media had been told to ‘shut up’, it has just been revealed that the CDC is monitoring 1400 ‘active’ Ebola cases in the United States – and it’s NOT on their website…

Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson said the CDC is not putting out the current information on how many potential cases of Ebola they are currently tracking in the Untied States.

Attkisson recently said on a FOX News segment,

“I called CDC not long ago and I said how many cases are being monitored in the United States and they said 1,400.”

“Where are these updates on your website?”

“They said they’re not putting it on the web.”

This is public information we have a right to know.

Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “Media Buzz,” investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson said the CDC is not putting out the current information on how many potential cases of Ebola they are currently tracking in the Untied States.

Attkisson said, “I called CDC not long ago and I said how many cases are being monitored in the United States and they said 1,400. I said, ‘Where are these updates on your website? ‘ They said they’re not putting it on the web. This is public information we have a right to know and the media should not hype it, but should cover it.”

BREAKING: Doctor Dies of Ebola at Nebraska Hospital

The current outbreak of Ebola is the worst on record.

At least 5,177 have died according to the World Health Organization

Dr. Martin Salia's death is a reminder of how deadly the Ebola virus is and how important it is to receive treatment early, said Dr. Jeff Gold, chancellor of the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.

"In the very advanced stages, even the modern techniques we have at our disposal are not enough to help these patients once they reach a critical threshold," Gold said at a news conference.

The doctors and nurses treating Salia took additional precautions to protect themselves from the virus because of the advanced state of his disease when he arrived, Smith said. Everyone who treated Salia will be monitored for 21 days for Ebola symptoms, but they won't be quarantined.

Salia's body will be cremated as a precaution, Smith said.

Two other Ebola patients have been successfully treated at the Omaha hospital. Of 10 people to be treated for the disease in the United States, all but two have recovered. Thomas Eric Duncan, of Liberia, died at a Dallas hospital in October.

Salia was on day 13 of his illness when he arrived in Omaha, Smith said. The hospital's two surviving Ebola patients arrived on day six and day eight of their illnesses.

By Colleen Jenkins

(Reuters) – A surgeon who contracted Ebola while working in Sierra Leone has died of the disease at a Nebraska hospital, medical officials said on Monday, the second death from the virus out of 10 known cases treated in the United States.

Dr. Martin Salia, a native of Sierra Leone and a permanent U.S. resident, was suffering from advanced symptoms, including kidney and respiratory failure, when he arrived at the Nebraska Medical Center on Saturday, the hospital said in a statement.

Hospital officials had said he was seriously ill when he was airlifted to the United States from West Africa.

“Dr. Salia was extremely critical when he arrived here, and unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we weren’t able to save him,” Dr. Phil Smith, medical director of the Biocontainment Unit at Nebraska Medical Center, said in a statement on Monday.

Salia, 44, was chief medical officer at United Methodist Kissy Hospital in Freetown, Sierra Leone, when he tested positive last week for Ebola, according to the United Methodist Church’s news service.

The news service said it was unclear how or where Salia contracted the virus. He worked at several other medical facilities in addition to Kissy Hospital.

The church’s news service said Salia has never practiced medicine in the United States. He trained as a doctor in Sierra Leone’s College of Medicine and Allied Sciences, his wife said.

His evacuation was at the request of his wife, an American who lives in Maryland and who has agreed to reimburse the U.S. government for any expense, the State Department said.

Salia was the third Ebola patient treated at the Nebraska Medical Center. His treatment included a dose of convalescent plasma and ZMapp therapy, as well as being placed on dialysis, a ventilator and multiple medications to support his organs, the hospital said.

The two other Ebola patients treated by the hospital were infected in Liberia and recovered from the disease.

Experts: Many Questions about How Ebola is Transmitted

U.S. scientists say uncertainties loom about Ebola’s transmission, other key facts

by The Extinction Protocol

November 2014 – HEALTH - Even as government officials express confidence that researchers know the key facts about Ebola, many questions crucial to preventing an outbreak in the United States remain unanswered, scientists told a workshop at the National Academy's Institute of Medicine in Washington on Monday. Virtually all the unknowns have practical consequences, participants emphasized, making it foolish and perhaps dangerous to base policy on weak science. For instance, virologists believe that Ebola is spread when people come in contact with the virus-laden bodily fluids of those who are already sick and then touch their eyes, nose or mouth, allowing the virus to pass through mucous membranes and enter the bloodstream. But penetration through intact skin has not been definitively ruled out, said hemorrhagic-fever expert Thomas Ksiarek of the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), who co-led a session on Ebola's transmission routes. “Does bleach or hand sanitizer,” which people in West Africa are using to protect themselves from Ebola, “make the skin more susceptible” to being penetrated by the virus? Peters wondered. “It's a question that has to be asked.” Another crucial question is whether the virus can be spread by people who do not show symptoms. For months public health officials in the United States and elsewhere have insisted it cannot.

But the possibility of such “subclinical transmission” remains very much open, said Dr. Andrew Pavia, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at the University of Utah. Nor do experts know whether the infectious dose of virus depends on how it enters the body, Pavia said.

Also unknown is whether the time between exposure to Ebola and the appearance of symptoms depends on which bodily fluids someone contacted. If it does, then someone exposed through, say, saliva rather than blood might incubate the virus for longer than the 21 days officials have repeatedly said is the outer limit of the incubation period. That was the longest incubation time during the 1976 Ebola outbreak, said Dr. C.J. Peters, a field virologist at UTMB. But “I would guess that 5 percent of people” can transmit the virus after incubating it for more than three weeks, said Peters, whose battle against the Ebola outbreak in a monkey colony in Virginia was recounted in Richard Preston's 1994 book “The Hot Zone.” Health officials emphasize the importance of taking the temperature of those exposed to Ebola, since people are not thought to be infectious until they run a fever of 100.4 F. (38 C). But at what temperature patients start shedding virus is not definitively known, said Dr. Michael Hodgson, chief medical officer of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Environmental mysteries also remain.

Scientists do not know whether foam, gas, or liquid decontaminants are most effective for cleaning surfaces that might harbor Ebola. Nor do they know whether it can survive in sewers where, said Paul Lemieux of the National Homeland Security Research Center at the Environmental Protection Agency, rats “might pick it up.” –First Post

Ebola is a lot easier to catch than health officials have admitted...

...and can be contracted by contact with a doorknob contaminated by a sneeze from an infected person an hour or more before, experts told The Post Tuesday.

Imagine each of the droplets in that spread pattern loaded with ebola ...

ALERT W.H.O. & CDC Admit Ebola Can Spread Via Coughing, Sneezing and Contaminated Surfaces

“If you are sniffling and sneezing, you produce microorganisms that can get on stuff in a room. If people touch them, they could be” infected, said Dr. Meryl Nass, of the Institute for Public Accuracy in Washington, DC.

CDC Issues Ebola Sneeze Warning

Contagion Blast Radius: How Far Can Ebola Droplets Travel?

Nass pointed to a poster the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quietly released on its Web site saying the deadly virus can be spread through “droplets.”

“Droplet spread happens when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person enter the eyes, nose or mouth of another person,” the poster states.

Nass slammed the contradiction.

It's the droplets that may become airborne.

Subtle difference. But then, the droplets carrying the virus can land on surfaces, and remain infectious for quite a while.

“The CDC said it doesn’t spread at all by air, then Friday they came out with this poster,” she said. “They admit that these particles or droplets may land on objects such as doorknobs and that Ebola can be transmitted that way.”

Dr. Rossi Hassad, a professor of epidemiology at Mercy College, said droplets could remain active for up to a day.

(Other sources have said that the virus can remain viable for up to six days)

“A shorter duration for dry surfaces like a table or doorknob, and longer durations in a moist, damp environment,” Hassad said.

The CDC did not respond to a request for comment.

MONDAY 20 OCTOBER 2014
In Monrovia they get their Ebola information from makeshift chalkboards. In the US, survivalists are all over the internet, advising readers how to live through the forthcoming apocalypse.

First, let's be clear. Ebola is spread when someone comes into direct contact - through broken skin or mucous membranes - with infected blood or body fluids. It's also transmitted by contact with contaminated surfaces and objects, although the risk of transmission is low.

http://oneislandtwonationsblogspotcom.typepad.com/blog/2014/10/ebola-apocalypse-and-how-us-preppers-plan-to-survive.html

But Ebola is not an airborne infection - although droplets from an infected person's cough or sneeze could in theory pass on the virus.

The World Health Organisation says previous outbreaks revealed no instances of airborne infection.

Ebola Apocalypse - And How US 'Preppers' Plan to Survive by Thavam

No virus that causes disease in humans has ever been known to mutate to change its mode of transmission.

This means it is highly unlikely that Ebola has mutated to become airborne. It is, however, droplet-borne — and the distinction between the two is crucial.

Doctors mean something different from the public when they talk about a disease being airborne. To them, it means that the disease-causing germs are so small they can live dry, floating in the air for extended periods, thus capable of traveling from person to person at a distance. When inhaled, airborne germs make their way deep into the lungs.

Chickenpox, measles and tuberculosis are airborne diseases. Droplets of mucus and other secretions from the nose, mouth and respiratory tract transmit other diseases, including influenza and smallpox.

When someone coughs, sneezes or, in the case of Ebola, vomits, he releases a spray of secretions into the air. This makes the infection droplet-borne. Some hospital procedures, like placing a breathing tube down a patient’s air passage to help him breathe, may do the same thing.

Droplet-borne germs can travel in these secretions to infect someone a few feet away, often through the eyes, nose or mouth. This may not seem like an important difference, but it has a big impact on how easily a germ spreads. Airborne diseases are far more transmittable than droplet-borne ones.

Richard Preston‘s remarkable book, "The Hot Zone," chronicled an Ebola Reston virus outbreak at a primate quarantine facility just outside Washington. The monkeys didn’t have direct contact with each other. CDC and military experts had to consider the possibility that Ebola Reston virus might be airborne. But feces thrown about the room, aerosols used in pressure washing the monkey cages or contaminated gloves used to handle the animals could also have transmitted the virus.

The Hot Zone: The Terrifying True Story of the Origins of the Ebola Virus

It is important to emphasize that Ebola Reston virus does not cause disease in humans. It also survives longer than Ebola Zaire — the species responsible for the West African epidemic — when aerosolized in the lab. But even Ebola Zaire can remain infectious when aerosolized for at least 90 minutes. What happens in the lab, however, doesn’t always represent the real world.

Since the Reston scare, scientists have learned more about Ebola transmission from other outbreaks.

In 1995, more than 300 people became sick with Ebola in Kikwit, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Disease detectives were unable to determine how 12 of the patients were exposed — again raising questions about the possibility of airborne transmission. But if Ebola could be transmitted through the air, at least some family members of Ebola patients should have gotten sick even without direct contact. That didn’t happen.

Ebola struck again in 2000, this time affecting more than 400 people in Gulu, Uganda. Not all had direct contact with another Ebola patient. Bedding and mattresses seemed to be one source of infection. So did sharing a meal with an Ebola patient — which often meant using fingers to eat from the same plate. Each had in common likely exposure to infected bodily fluids.

So What Is One To Do?

That is a question Alex Smith attempts to answer in his latest book, Ebola: Understanding and Preparing for an Outbreak.

In it, he discusses topics such as: symptoms, transmission, treatment, the history of the virus, the current outbreak, how to prepare, what to have on hand, measures to take if the worst is realized (quarantines, isolation rooms, cleaning procedures, etc.) and more. Until about three months ago, I would have accused someone of being a doomsday prepper dork if you were getting ready for quarantines, now I see things in a slightly different light. Quarantines are now a reality for a small group of Americans and Europeans who have come into contact with Ebola patients. Although I am not quite ready to get my isolation room ready, I am starting to rethink some of my preps (or lack there of).

At 116 pages (paperback version), the book is short and concise. There is no filler to pad the length. Every page contains well researched information. Speculations by the author are backed up by studies that he references in the book.

The following is an excerpt from the section on transmission of the disease that is particularly interesting:

[From Book]
“Airborne droplets (Not Confirmed by Authorities):
The CDC makes (made)no mention of transmission through airborne droplets in humans. (at the time of the printing of the book) Because of the severity of the current outbreak, however, transmission through airborne droplets seems like a possible explanation. Note that the author says airborne droplets and not simply airborne. There is a huge difference. Airborne implies that a disease can be spread through the inhalation of tiny, dry particles that remained suspended in the air for long a period of time. These particles could also theoretically be transferred through air currents. Ebola is not airborne in this sense. The rate of infection is much too low. If Ebola was truly airborne, it should spread at a rate similar to tuberculosis, chickenpox or measles. One person with measles, on average, infects 12 to 18 people. The current Ebola outbreak appears to spread, on average, to one to two people. This value is known as the Basic Reproductive Number, R(0). The following is a chart of the Basic Reproductive Numbers for various diseases.

Airborne droplets, however, is a different story. Airborne droplets are relatively large (when compared to the dry particles that are suspended in the air by an airborne disease), wet particles, propelled through the air by way of coughing, sneezing or violent vomiting, that land on walls, floors, or other people. It is entirely possible that Ebola is spread via airborne droplets. The CDC still denies this. The WHO downplays the probability. Other experts, especially those who are independent of governmental organizations, are not as quick to dismiss this.

Despite CDC claims that droplet transmission is not possible, it has been shown that VHFs have an infectious dose of 1 to 10 organisms by airborne droplets in non-human primates.
