Why the fuck would somebody with ebola be making juice in the first place??
The fact of the matter is the media blows the whole thing out of proportion with the intentions of scaring the populous and inciting hysteria

Yes the media is just using whatever tools they can to gain ratings. They could care less about reality and the effects their scare mongering has on their viewers/readers. For the media ratings trump intelligence, compassion, responsibility and truth.

mark this post. one year from now (maybe not even that long), i am betting you will be hard pressed to find anything in the media about ebola. it's the news du jour. the next big story will wipe ebola from the headlines. sensationalism is the new journalism.

I give it until next month.. the elections will be over then..
When does the new season of American Idol start?
I don't think this will be over that soon. It's going to be a long, hard road for the folks that live in the epicenter of this outbreak. The WHO is predicting something like 10,000 new cases per week by December. If that's true, that's going to mean 5000-7000 deaths per week shortly after.

Patient in New York City Tests Positive for Ebola
Even as the authorities worked to confirm that Mr. Spencer was infected with Ebola, it emerged that he traveled from Manhattan to Brooklyn on the subway on Wednesday night, when he went to a bowling alley and then took a taxi home.

A photo of Dr. Spencer posted on his Facebook page.
The next morning, he reported having a temperature of 103 degrees, raising questions about his health while he was out in public.
A person infected with Ebola cannot spread the disease until they begin to display symptoms, and it cannot be spread through the air. As the person becomes sicker, the viral load in the body builds, and they become more and more contagious.
Dr. Spencer’s travel history and the timing of the onset of his symptoms led health officials to dispatch “disease detectives immediately began to actively trace all of the patient’s contacts to identify anyone who may be at potential risk,” according to a statement released by the department.
It was unclear if the city was trying to find people who might have come into contact with Dr. Spencer on the subway. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority directed all questions to the health department, which did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the issue.
At Dr. Spencer’s apartment in Harlem, his home was sealed off and workers distributed informational fliers about the disease. It was not clear if anyone was being quarantined.
Health authorities declined to say how many people in total might have come into contact with Dr. Spencer while he was symptomatic.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, speaking at a press conference Thursday evening before the diagnosis, said Dr. Spencer has given health workers a detailed accounting of his activities over the last few days.
“Our understanding is that very few people were in direct contact with him,” Mr. de Blasio said.

Dr. Spencer had been working with Doctors Without Borders in Guinea, treating Ebola patients, before returning to New York City on Oct. 14, according to a city official.
He told the authorities that he did not believe the protective gear he wore while working with Ebola patients had been breached but had been monitoring his own health.
Doctors Without Borders, in a statement, said it provides guidelines for its staff on their return from Ebola assignments, but did not elaborate on those protocols.
“The individual engaged in regular health monitoring and reported this development immediately,” the group said in a statement.
Dr. Spencer began to feel sluggish on Tuesday but did not develop a feveruntil Thursday morning, he told the authorities. At 11 a.m., the doctor found that he had a 103-degree temperature and alerted the staff of Doctors Without Borders, according to the official.
The staff of Doctors Without Borders called the city’s health department, which in turn called the Fire Department.
Emergency medical workers, wearing full personal protective gear, rushed to Dr. Spencer’s apartment, on West 147th Street. He was transported to Bellevue and arrived shortly after 1 p.m.
He was placed in a special isolation unit and is being seen by the pre-designated medical critical care team. They are in personal protective equipment with undergarment air ventilation systems.

Bellevue doctors have prepared for an Ebola patient with numerous drills and tests using “test patients” as well as actual treatment of suspected cases that turned out to be false alarms.
A health care worker at the hospital said that Dr. Spencer seemed very sick and it was unclear to the medical staff why he had not gone to the hospital earlier, since his fever was high, at 103.
Dr. Spencer is a fellow of international emergency medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, and an instructor in clinical medicine at Columbia University.
“He is a committed and responsible physician who always puts his patients first,” the hospital said in a statement. “He has not been to work at our hospital and has not seen any patients at our hospital since his return from overseas.”
Even before the diagnosis, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dispatched a team of experts to assist in the case, before the test results were even known.
More than 30 people have gone to city hospitals and raised suspicions of Ebola, but in all those cases, health workers were able to rule it out without a blood test.
While the city stepped up its laboratory capacity so it can get test results within four to six hours, because of the precautions that need to be taken when drawing blood and treating a person possibly sick with Ebola, it took until late in the evening to confirm the diagnosis.
But doctors said that even before the results came in, it seemed likely that he was infected. Symptoms usually occur within eight to 10 days of infection and Dr. Spencer was home nine days when he reported feeling ill.

Where the Patient Is Being Treated
A doctor, who was recently in West Africa treating Ebola patients, was taken Thursday from his apartment in Harlem to Bellevue Hospital Center after he reported a high fever.
The patient is in one of four isolation rooms in the infectious disease ward on an upper floor of this building. The rooms have been designated for high-probability or confirmed Ebola cases. The ward also has a lab to handle Ebola blood samples.

Ebola is transmitted through bodily fluids and secretions, including blood, mucus, feces and vomit.
Because of its high mortality rate — Ebola kills more than half of the people it infects — the disease spreads fear along with infection.
The authorities have been on high alert ever since Thomas Eric Duncan traveled to the United States in September from Liberia, and was later given a diagnosis of Ebola.
Mr. Duncan died at a Dallas hospital this month.
Several days after his death, a nurse who helped care for Mr. Duncan learned she had Ebola. Two nurses who treated Mr. Duncan fell ill but have since recovered.
That single case led to hundreds of people being quarantined or being asked to remain isolated from the general public.
The missteps by both local and federal authorities in handling the nation’s first Ebola case raised questions about the ability of health care workers to safely treat those with the disease.
In the New York City region, hospitals and emergency workers have been preparing for the appearance of the virus for months.
Dr. Irwin Redlener, the director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University and a special adviser to Mayor de Blasio, said that the risk to the general public was minimal, but depended on a city moving swiftly.
“New York has mobilized not only a world class health department, but has full engagement of many other agencies that need to be on the response team,” he said.
Matt Flegenheimer, J. David Goodman, Kia Gregory and Anemona Hartocollis contributed reporting. Elisa Cho contributed research.

Another doctor returning from a high ebola area...
Another doctor returning from a high ebola area...
Yep, why doesn't the protocol insist on a 21 day isolation for medical workers on a return from ebola duty in west Africa? Just seems like a reasonable precaution. Maybe overkill? I don't think so. And this doctor lives in one of the most densely populated areas of the US. Maybe we're all taking this too seriously and as others have stated in this thread, ebola is not even a thing.
it's not airborne, only real threat is when government forces the American people to take anti virus and we all turn into zombies from there test bs... serious more people will die from the fix! I feel the whole point right now is to see how our government reacts. Maybe after this we can focus to protect something closer to home like our public schools or something important
haha @cherrycakes I was going to post that since I just got on hahah to funny
I bet someone wil I bet they have and I bet they will right in a custard JuiceJizzalissh ")

Sorry, my cousin, finished his French classes in July, Gone since.... last month, ( SEAL Team TWO ) He hinted, reason for the French classes...most of North Africa speaks French.Umm... A little heads up! We have NO "armed service members" going to Africa... They are ONLY Medic's and from well known source, it's pretty much a 1-Way Ticket! If they get Ebola, they stay in africa!

New York City cops leave Ebola doctor's apartment and dump their gloves and masks in a TRASH CAN
Two New York City police officers who attended the Harlem apartment building of Dr Craig Spencer - the first confirmed Ebola case in the city - were observed afterward dumping their protective gear and caution tape in a garbage bin on the street.
While it was not immediately clear if the two officers had been inside Dr Spencer's apartment, the episode had many people asking if the equipment should not have been disposed of in a biohazard bag - even if only as a precaution.

Is that where that goes? The NYC police officers marking off the area around Dr Craig Spencer's apartment in Harlem earlier this afternoon

No but really, should that go there?: The men were seen throwing caution tape along with their masks and gloves in a trash can

Are we really doing this?: Not just any trash can, but one on a public street corner
- New York City police officers were sent to mark off Dr Craig Spencer's Harlem apartment building
- Dr Spencer is the first confirmed person in the city to be confirmed as having the infectious disease
- After the officers were done, they removed their protective gloves, masks and caution tape and dumped them in a public trash can on the street
- As a demonstration of how well-drilled New York City officials are in how to deal with Ebola, it left a lot to be desired.

Yeah, that would have been very disappointing if not totally expected.a google search will tell you, we have an ebola czar, that knows nothing of it.
And when did it become acceptable for the USA to have a czar of any kind in our government!? Samuel Adams must be rolling in his grave...
Where can i get that Ebola mod that everyone are talking about and how much does it cost?

What, it's obvious it's a government coverup making social media shhh because of the potential voters. nuff said...I will wait for Smoky to stir the pot. I am really just interested in the zombie potential down the road . Serious, Ebola has been around for decades, it's no more threat than it was in the beginning. I am more afraid of our experimental drugs being forced down our throats, to me feels like another sneaky excuse for population control
