Finland prepares to take in it´s first Ebola patient.

News doesn´t tell where the patient comes from, either if the patient is a returned medical care worker. Patient had arrived to Finland 22 days ago. patient is expected to arrive in the hospital within two hours.
Patient is coming to Meilahti HUS university hospital, Ward 2B Infectious Diseases. The ward has 14 beds, 6 rooms with a single bed, 4 rooms with two beds
What a joke is the protective suit doctor has on, anyone see anything wrong in it ?



Earlier this month Health minister Päivi Räsänen ( MD ) told that Finland is not going to screen any patients in airports for possible Ebola. She said because we don´t have direct flights from Infected areas screening is unnecessary.


have i ever told Finland goverment is run by a idiots? have fun !

UPDATE: Patient in question became symptomatic 21 days after leaving Liberia. Patient went to health center by him/herself and from there coming to Meilahti.

Yeah, that protective equipment isn't very protective compared to usual Hazmat-suit, but I believe its enough. But, there is only really small change that the patient has Ebola. The patient has Ebola virus in blood, but the infection hasn't started.

So did Vinson and Pham.... you can't have your skin exposed.

I believe that mask in pictures is similar mask that the 325k masks we are sending to Ebola infected countries to fight the disease.. a joke really.
Where did you find that patient has Ebola in blood, but infection hasn´t started? Well patient has had Ebola in blood over 21 days by now, any information was the patient in self guarantine and what city patient comes from ?

It seems that ebola is becoming a fashion statement this days, every country "most" have at least one infected in their borders

UPDATE: patient had been in office work in Liberia and had no direct contact with the patients. The patient has a high fever and headache. Arrived in hospital in protective gear and was able to walk. Contacts when symptomatic are known.


UPDATE: patient had a contact with someone who had Ebola. patient has symptoms like Ebola and first test result will be in 24 hours and more accurate results in 3 days

21 days huh...

Cutting it close on that incubation period, America might want to pay attention to that.

There is not much info about this, but seems like its very unlikely that the patient has Ebola. The patient never was in contact with Ebola patients. The test results are revealed tomorrow.

UPDATE: patient is a citizen of the United States ! The news do not say if the patient arrived to Finland 22 days ago anymore, there is only that patient left Liberia 22 days ago... intresting news keep changing.

Blood tests negative, the sample which was sent to abroad for testing was also negative. patient is being tested for other tropical diseases including malaria.
