Ebola Patient in Atlanta Hospital

So why would they let him do this?

Someone obviously wanted to send the message ' see, he's really not that sick... Little to worry about'.

They turned him into a Public Service Announcement.

I've been taken by ambulance to hospital and allowed to walk (although I had to fight about it a bit). Think it depends on the circumstance. This one - theater, no doubt. ....Maybe to illustrate/imply recovery? ....At around 7-10 days after symptoms start, people either die or recover "dramatically." [Sorry, can't look for that link right now but it was medical not msm.]

"If you like your ebola---you can keep your ebola! Unless we are foolish enough to want to import it to the US!"
How many of the health care professionals at Emory have experience treating ebola?
Would you, if a family member were hospitalized there, be comfortable with this?
The mere fact that these patients are health care workers themselves, fully informed about the dangers of infection, have come down with it despite all their precautions should put some serious concern into the entire profession.
Please pass the duct tape---I think my head is about to explode.

Yeah. Maybe.

All the patients they're showing who have this are on stretchers. But again, they said he had already been improving.

So...they'll leave again tomorrow to go get the second patient.

As litigious as this country is, I can assure you this is not standard protocol.

How many people were in the back of the ambulance with him? Was it just the one guy?

And what of the plane? Is it being sanitized, Is it in lockdown/secure? Just wondering because my confidence level is dropping a bit after watching that display.

Maybe that one will do cartwheels on the way in, just to show us 'move along, nothing to worry about here.' :-\

And the ambulance. And what was the point of having SOME people in HAZMAT suits around him and others not? They either need them or they don't. This display doesn't generate a bit of confidence that they have a grasp of proper protocol. Sheesh!!!

Not sure, but think he was reported as diagnosed the week of July 21 (around the 24th or 25th?) - so the timeline for "marked" recovery is right.

…During the second week, the patient defervesces and improves markedly or dies in shock with multiorgan dysfunction, often accompanied by disseminated intravascular coagulation, anuria, and liver failure.

It went back up to Cartersville airport to prep for the next flight. It will leave again tomorrow they said.

Stay away from Cartersville? At least it's out of the way.

By the way, the plane was outfitted from a Danish military plane. Not sure who owns it.

a reply to: loam

I think it was just a driver and another person plus the patient in hazmat suits. So three.

These people were overworked, trying to see increasing numbers of people , in a hot country, in hot biohazard suits that dehydrate them seriously in 1 -2 hours and working in improvised 'hospitals' with not enough staff or equipment. It's hardly the same scenario as a well equipped first world hospital that has staff on shift and airconditioning. The likelyhood of contracting the virus is increased in the first scenario and reduced in the second.

Lovely. What part of "ground all international flights for the safety of our citizens" escapes their logic?

I mean, they've admitted this thing is out of control. They say it CAN be contained. Stop incoming flights until it IS contained. At least from high-risk areas. Even for a few days or a week. Forget screwing up commerce... we're talking about threat to human life. Good luck with commerce if this thing takes hold on every continent!

Kind of off topic too but this was interesting: Newark, JFK among U.S. airports capable of identifying passengers with deadly Ebola virus

A spokeswoman for the federal Centers for Disease Control said health and airline officials at both customs stations and on board airliners are continuously tasked with identifying signs of illness in travelers, including now Ebola.

No one entering the United States has been identified as carrying the disease, the spokeswoman, Kristen Nordlund, said Friday evening.

Till now, of course.

Randy Schoepp, chief of diagnostics at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, which is running the only lab in Liberia that is testing Ebola samples, said the deaths there may be just the tip of the iceberg.

Even just getting samples to a lab is difficult, he said, because many drivers are scared to even transport vials of blood that may contain Ebola.

The "biowar" connection, I guess.

Yup. Been reading African media and the situation is anything but calm. Certainly not the 'no big deal' impression created by our media.

The article about Sawyer's last moments are nothing less than bizarre.

The most important point in THAT thread is they acknowledge MANY more are infected than first assumed....and they are traveling.

I have to read the thread but are you guys still talking about Atlanta? Or has the thread strayed?

I have found info for why did they take them to Atlanta. According to a youtube poster, "Elite NWO Agenda, he found the us governments patent for ebola. And it originated the patent from USAMRIID, in ATLANTA. You can get the patent number in my thread or the youtube channela reply to: new_here

How do you monitor for signs of illness during the incubation period, when little to no symptoms show?

Biggest bunch of hogwash ever.
