FORMER FDA OFFICIAL: LARGER EBOLA OUTBREAKS COMING TO AMERICAN CITIES 

Authorities could be forced to quarantine hundreds of citizens

Former FDA official Scott Gottlieb M.D. warns that larger and more frequent Ebola outbreaks will inevitably hit American cities in the near future and that hundreds of people could be forcibly quarantined by health authorities.

In an op-ed for Forbes, Gottlieb, who previously served as Director of Medical Policy Development for the Food and Drug Administration, writes that the imminent onset of the flu season will make it harder to keep tabs on potential Ebola victims in the United States.

Sometime in January or February – as the Ebola epidemic explodes out of West Africa – we’ll start experiencing larger, more frequent outbreaks in American cities. With the flu as a background to confound suspected cases of Ebola, public health departments will be hard pressed to “track and trace” all of the potential “contacts” when perhaps dozens of Ebola cases pop up in their cities.

Unable to pinpoint who might have come in close contact with Ebola, and be at risk of contracting the virus, they will reach for their most absolute tool – forced quarantine – as a way to mitigate threat amidst uncertainty. The number of people who will be placed into forced quarantines could easily number in the hundreds.

Gottlieb goes on to predict that once Ebola hits Latin America, the U.S. is far likelier to begin importing cases on a more than sporadic basis, but that current measures concerning the quarantine of individuals remain convoluted, a factor that could lead to hundreds of unsuspecting healthy individuals being caught up in a medical dragnet.

“The prospect of larger and more frequent outbreaks seems highly likely,” writes Gottlieb, who is also a Clinical Assistant Professor at the NYU School of Medicine. “As we have seen with the anxiety engendered by just a few isolated cases, if we were to have a dozen or more cases in a major U.S. city, it could have a substantial impact on our economic and social life.”

As we highlighted back in August, Gottlieb warned that if Ebola were to arrive in America, the CDC would likely invoke powers to “hold a healthy person against his will,” and enact “sweeping authority to hold and isolate Americans in a public health emergency.”

With Ebola cases continuing to rise in West Africa, the CDC this week expanded the list of risk factors for Ebola which allow for the forcible quarantine of individuals suspected of being exposed to the virus, including if someone has briefly been in the vicinity of an Ebola victim, despite the fact that health officials continue to claim the disease can only be transmitted via direct exchange of bodily fluids.

As we reported earlier, the U.S. government today ordered 250,000 Hazmat suits to be delivered to Dallas, Texas, the location of the first Ebola outbreak in the United States.

INFOWARS is not one of my favorite resources, but sometimes they get it "near right."

[Opti]

I hope they are wrong.

I don't know how likely the scenario is because much of it will depend on

travel into and out of Ebola hotspots in Africa. I will say I trust conjecture

on this scale about as much as the many financial emails I get daily.

I've stopped reading most financial emails as the imminent fall of this or that rarely

seems to happen. Plus, while you are busy calling for disaster, other

forces are working towards stabilization therefore it rarely is going to

happen the way you predict. Ebola will likely be the same. And it depends what

you call an outbreak. Some see the total thus far 4 cases as an outbreak even

though only one is actively infected. Possibly hundreds quarantined already out

of an abundance of fear and unwillingness to do the cheaper daily tracking.

Same here. Always clean off cart handles before we use them. I will clean my hands when we get back in the car, and I always avoid public bathrooms as well. I'm no germaphobe, I just know how bad people can be at washing their hands after the can...

An interesting thing to note about West Africa..

Ebola: Are cases levelling off?

Back in September, a major report by a team at the WHO and Imperial College London was estimating 20,000 cases by today (November 2).

Instead the number of confirmed, probable and suspected cases stands at 13,567.

Those early predictions, based on mathematical modelling, were hugely important for making the world pay attention to the severity of the outbreak.

They were based on the "exponential growth phase" of the epidemic, in which the rate of new infections soar......

However, the data remains extremely poor.

This is particularly pertinent in Liberia - where new cases are supposedly falling - as only 38% of the reported cases are actually laboratory confirmed, compared with 85% in Guinea.

There is also the overhanging spectre of vast numbers of unreported cases - the best guess is there are around twice as many cases out there as have been reported.

So in other words, the reality of the situation is that the number of cases is greater than their exponential growth curved predicted!!! I guess the reason for the reported numbers are clear now, eh? They can lie all they want because, Ebola cases in Sierra Leone are rising "frighteningly quickly," up to 9 times faster than it was just two months ago.

Ebola in Sierra Leone is spreading nine times faster than it was two months ago, according to the African Governance Initiative

Sunday 02 November 2014

Just as the Ebola crisis in Liberia appears to be beginning to improve, the outbreak in neighbouring Sierra Leone takes a turn for the worse.

Campaign group African Governance Initiative (AGI) has said the number of Ebola cases in Sierra Leone is rising "frighteningly quickly," up to 9 times faster than it was just two months ago.

Sierra Leone's rural areas are worst affected by the virus, but the group claims the situation is also escalating in capital city Freetown, where there are six times the number of cases per day as there were during the summer.

Only in the northern region of Bombali has the outbreak begun to slow.

There have been more than 1,500 Ebola fatalities in Sierra Leone, around a thousand fewer than in Liberia, the country worst hit.

Last week the World Health Organisation said it was "getting an upper hand on the virus" and slowing its spread.

The worsening outbreak specific to Sierra Leone comes following news that an infected UN employee has been flown to France for "high-security isolation" - the first case on French soil.

There are also reports that another doctor in northern Sierra Leone has tested positive for Ebola prompting concerns over how the medical operation in the region can manage after four doctors died in recent months.

To help check the spread of Ebola in Sierra Leone, Britain has pledged £20 million to build and run three new medical laboratories, which will be used to test blood samples and virus swabs.

The first lab opened in Kerry Town last week, immediately doubling the country's testing capacity. Two further are planned in Port Loko and Makeni under the direction of UK Royal Engineers, Publish Health England, and the Department for International Development.

When all three are finished, it is expected that Sierra Leone's testing capacity will be four times what it was and will be able to turn around blood samples in 24 hours instead of the current four days.

International Development Secretary Justine Greening said: "Tackling Ebola at the source is key to beating it and stopping the spread.

"Some of Britain's best and brightest scientists will be at the forefront of our UK-funded testing facilities ensuring that people with Ebola are isolated and then treated as soon as possible."

This is the biggest problem right here.. 30 dead bodies don't show up overnight. These people were sick for at least a week. They have tried to claim this area was free of disease to act like it hasn't spread past the areas that they are talking about. The truth always comes out, always.

[dothedd]

Greetings Aham,

Yes, "The truth always comes out, always" .... and the end is not in sight of ongoing new cases!


b


As of 29 October 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported a total of 13,567 suspected cases and 4,951 deaths,[19] though the WHO believes that this substantially understates the magnitude of the outbreak[20] with true figures numbering three times as many cases as have been reported.[3][21] The assistant director-general of the WHO warned in mid-October that there could be as many as 10,000 new EVD cases per week by December 2014.[22] Almost all of the cases have occurred in the three initial countries.

Some countries have encountered difficulties in their efforts to control the epidemic.[23] In some areas, people have become suspicious of both the government and hospitals, some of which have been attacked by angry protesters who believe either that the disease is a hoax or that the hospitals are responsible for the disease. Many of the areas seriously affected by the outbreak are areas of extreme poverty with limited access to the soap and running water needed to help control the spread of disease.[24] Other factors include reliance on traditional medicine and cultural practices that involve physical contact with the deceased, especially death customs such as washing and kissing[25] the body of the deceased.[26][27][28] Some hospitals lack basic supplies and are understaffed, increasing the chance of staff catching the virus themselves. In August, the WHO reported that ten percent of the dead have been health care workers.[29] By the end of August, the WHO reported that the loss of so many health workers was making it difficult for them to provide sufficient numbers of foreign medical staff.[30] In September, the WHO estimated that the countries' capacity for treating EVD patients was insufficient by the equivalent of 2,122 beds. By the end of October many of the hospitals in the affected area had become dysfunctional or had been closed, leading some health experts to state that the inability to treat other medical needs may be causing "an additional death toll [that is] likely to exceed that of the outbreak itself"

Good day b,

Not even close and the WHO is a hucking joke. Dropping the toll, trying to say that cases are "leveling off" - then turning around and saying that the tolls are off because they know that cases are going unreported! They should just STFU and stop trying to guess the cases - try to save some face..

Case and point...

Ebola cases rise sharply in Sierra Leone

About 24% of the Ebola cases in Sierra Leone have been reported in the past three weeks, although the outbreak began in March, according to the World Health Organization

In other words, by their own admission we have hit an exponential growth phase - which they said a few days ago wasn't happening!!



Meanwhile, the Head of UN mission to fight Ebola admits he does not have the resources to stop the spread of the disease

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Greetings Aham!

The Liberia Ebola outbreak news was on all the news channels this morning.  It is just a matter of time until cases start to show up in the US  again with open borders to Mexico and the lack of our government stopping travel from Africa. 


THE NIGHTMARE HAS JUST BEGUN! 

Hey b!

Bingo!! Not saying the US is going to get hit hard, but lies are starting to catch up with them! They were crowing about Mali being Ebola free the other day while trumpeting this 100 or so contact number. Now they have to eat that crow.

God bless,

Mali confirms second death

The latest case is unrelated to the first, when a two-year-old girl died from the disease in late October.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

So, three more confirmed deaths from the "second" outbreak in Mali, and yet the authorities are still trying to claim that the two year old infected nobody.. Considering the state if affairs in Mali... At least the WHO is admitting that Ebola death toll up 200 since Friday is an understatement.

This should help..

Sierra Leone Health Workers Strike

Meanwhile, the virus is continuing to spread in Sierra Leone, with almost 300 new infections recorded in the last three days.

Maryland Man Contracts Ebola In Sierra Leone 

November 14, 2014 1:10 PM

NEW YORK (AP/WJZ) — A surgeon working in West Africa’s Sierra Leone, who resides in Maryland, has been diagnosed with Ebola and will be flown to the United States for treatment on Saturday, according to a person in the federal government with direct knowledge of the case.

Investigative reporter Mike Hellgren spoke to his family in Maryland.
The surgeon, Dr. Martin Salia, will be treated at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, said a person in the federal government with direct knowledge of the case. A Sierra Leone citizen, the 44-year-old Salia lives in Maryland and is a legal permanent U.S. resident, according to the person, who was not authorized to release the information and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Salia’s wife says she spoke to her husband just this morning. She says the CDC told her that the United States has sent a plane to Sierra Leone, and it should arrive Friday afternoon to take him to Nebraska for treatment.

Ebola Fans Public Anger Against Liberia’s Johnson-Sirleaf 

By Pauline Bax - Nov 13, 2014 

Martha McGill was already losing faith in Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf before Ebola started its rampage across the West African nation.

Allegations of corruption among senior officials and the government’s inability to provide adequate education, health care, water and power left McGill, 60, disillusioned with the woman she had voted for. Then Ebola killed John, the eldest of her eight children and the family breadwinner. While many Liberians at first doubted the virus was real, when the number of victims soared, the government reaction was muted, she said.

“There were elements of denial of the existence of the virus initially, but when the death toll was increasing she should have moved swiftly,” McGill, a resident of New Kru Town, a sprawling slum in the capital, Monrovia, said of Johnson-Sirleaf. “But that was not the case. Her government was slow in responding.”

Four months after the epidemic exploded, Johnson-Sirleaf, a 76-year-old Nobel laureate, declared a state of emergency and banned public gatherings in the country of 4 million people. A former banker who won Liberia’s first democratic vote after a civil war ended in 2003 and worldwide acclaim as Africa’s first elected female president, she now faces unrelenting domestic criticism as she struggles to deal with the Ebola outbreak.

Hardest Hit

With more than 2,800 deaths, the former colony founded for freed U.S. slaves has been hardest hit by the virus that has killed at least 5,160 people in West Africa since December, according to the World Health Organization. Initially some victims in Liberia died on the doorstep of clinics too overwhelmed to take in new patients.

“People were told to bring their sick relatives to Ebola treatment centers, and they listened, they went,” Robtel Pailey, who worked as Johnson-Sirleaf’s special assistant for communications, said by phone from London. “And then there weren’t enough beds in the hospitals and they were told to turn back. That drove a wedge of distrust.”

The number of new cases in Liberia now appears to be slowing, Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières, said this month.

Johnson-Sirleaf, saying “we can all be proud of the progress” Liberia has made against Ebola, announced yesterday she wouldn’t seek a renewal of the state of emergency, while a nighttime curfew would remain in place.

‘Intense Scrutiny’

“In any crisis or national emergency, a government rightly comes under intense scrutiny,” Information Minister Lewis Brown said Nov. 12 in an e-mailed response to questions.

“History will, we hope, look favorably on the Liberian leadership’s willingness to not hide from uncomfortable truths, or muzzle those people who have endured a very dark chapter in our nation’s history,” he said.

The economy will probably contract next year if Ebola isn’t contained because of declining income from rubber production and mining companies such as ArcelorMittal, the world’s biggest steelmaker, Minister of Commerce and Industry Axel Addy said in September. More than half of the population lived in poverty as of 2010, according to the World Bank.

An incident that heightened Liberians’ outrage was Johnson-Sirleaf’s decision to seal off the overcrowded Westpoint slum in the capital, Monrovia, triggering protests from residents who said they weren’t able to buy food.

When police and soldiers rushed in to disperse the crowd, a 15-year-old boy was shot in the leg on Aug 20. Radio stations still play the recording of the boy, who was bleeding profusely, pleading for help from bystanders afraid to touch him. He died the next day.

The government hasn’t made public a report by the Independent National Commission on Human Rights on the incident.

Boy’s Death

“The death of that boy is something that’s being referred to time and again on radio talk shows,” said Thomas Jaye, a Liberian who’s a West Africa security specialist at the Kofi Annan Peacekeeping Center in Accra, Ghana. “There was an investigation, the president has the report, but people don’t know what’s in it and that makes them angry.”

Last month, when the government rejected demands by medical workers for risk allowances and improved benefits, they went on strike in retaliation, leaving the already strained health-care system unable to cope.

At one point, Johnson-Sirleaf announced that anyone who hid their sick relatives would be subject to arrest.

“I fundamentally believe this pronouncement of criminalizing Ebola drove some people underground,” Pailey said.

Perception Gap

The public anger highlights the gap between the domestic and international perception of the former banker who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize days before she won the final round of the 2011 presidential vote and was ranked a year later by Forbes.com among the world’s 100 most powerful women.

“The government has done a very good job of focusing on the international agenda for Liberia and ticking all the right boxes with the IMF and the World Bank,” Pailey said. “We didn’t pay enough attention to what Liberians said are priorities: health care, education, roads. We often ignored social services spending.”

Liberia’s parliament last month rejected a request from Johnson-Sirleaf to grant her extraconstitutional powers that would have enabled her to suspend a planned senatorial election and crack down on unsafe burial practices.

“A lot of Liberians tell me: forget it, we have no government in this country,” said Jaye. “They’ve completely lost confidence. It’s unfortunate that someone who was held in such high esteem is now facing such overwhelming disapproval.”

Her family members’ involvement in state affairs has also sparked criticism.

One of her sons, Robert, last year stepped down from the board of the national oil company amid charges of nepotism. Another, Fumba, is the head of national intelligence. Senior officials who were fired for taking bribes or misusing state funds weren’t prosecuted.

“Ebola exacerbated an already frustrated and desperate population; her reputation has taken a dent,” said Samuel Kofi Woods, a human-rights lawyer and former Public Works minister who resigned from the government last year. “It’s not like a few years back when she was the darling of the international community. There is growing national discontent.”

After all this talk about slowing in Liberia... Which has lead to Senegal opening it's boarders..

Amid signs of new Ebola cases, UN health official tells Liberians ‘you must hunt the virus’

A senior United Nations World Health Organization official warned reported that the number of Ebola cases in Liberia, which had recently shown some signs of decline, is starting to pick up again, most likely because “people are relaxing their guard.”

“We are seeing taxis full of people again in the streets, and packed. We are seeing people not washing their hands again. We are seeing, most [worryingly], that not every single case is being reported,” Dr. Bruce Aylward, WHO Assistant Director-General for Polio and Emergencies, told the Monrovia-based UNMIL Radio, set up by the UN mission in Liberia.

Dr. Aylward told Liberians that the most recent WHO statistics on Ebola cases show that the number of cases in in their country have “not continued to decline; the case numbers have flattened out now and in some areas, they are starting to go up a bit.”

A little light on the subject.

Ebola: doing the math

That’s how fast the outbreak is moving: about 57 per cent of all reported Ebola cases, ever, have been reported since Oct. 1, 2014.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Ah, so another reason for under reporting comes to light...

A doctor’s mistaken Ebola test: ‘We were celebrating. . . . Then everything fell apart’

When Martin Salia’s Ebola test came back negative, his friends and colleagues threw their arms around him. They shook his hand. They patted him on the back. They removed their protective gear and cried.

But when his symptoms remained nearly a week later, Salia took another test, on Nov. 10. This one came back positive, sending the Sierra Leonean doctor with ties to Maryland on a desperate, belated quest for treatment and forcing the colleagues who had embraced him into quarantine.....

.....Although the United Methodist hospital where Salia and Smith work doesn’t treat Ebola, both doctors knew that their patients could be infectious. A woman giving birth, a man complaining of abdominal pain — any of them could be carrying the disease. Salia wore gloves but never the full protective gear used in the country’s Ebola wards.

His colleagues say he couldn’t pinpoint how he had contracted the disease.

Is this what it looks like when your lies catch up with you?

Red Cross officials: Ebola flaring anew in Africa

Red Cross officials helping to lead the fight against Ebola in West Africa said Monday the virus is still spreading, and they're having trouble recruiting health care workers to combat it....

......Birte Hald, head of emergency operations for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said that after a recent surge of optimism that the virus was coming under control, especially in Liberia, it "is flaring up in new villages, in new locations." On Monday, Hald said, a team of international experts was being set to Mali to assist that nation's health authorities in stemming an outbreak of Ebola there.

"Unfortunately, it doesn't look as if we have bent the curve yet," said Hald, who heads the Red Cross federation's anti-Ebola effort in Africa. "It is absolutely premature to start being optimistic."

What curve is that? Oh yeah, the exponential growth curve.
