Ethnic Cleansing In US: Uninsured Black Ebola Sent Home To Die And Infect Others
The death of a black American who went to Liberia and came back with ebola reveals serious cracks in the .US public health system, which was supposed to protect the nation from ebola.
In something worthy of a Saturday Night Live skit, the patent arrives at a hospital with a fever, is given a screening questionnaire where he answers that he has been to West Africa, but the questionnaire is not given to his treatment team.
He is allowed to remain in a non-quarantine area, precautions are not taken, and he winds up exposing dozens of healthcare workers, and who knows who else to ebola. This is a public health nightmare—something right out of a conspiracy novel.
Will this become a mass epidemic as health screeners discriminate between those who do have healthcare insurance and those who don't? And now we find that the system is also discriminating against American soldiers who are headed to this bio0war hazard zone. They will not be receiving hazard pay.
According to new reports: Thomas Eric Duncan’s temperature spiked to 103 degrees during the hours of his initial visit to an emergency room — a fever that was flagged with an exclamation point in the hospital’s recordkeeping system, his medical records show.
But, somehow he fell through the cracks, despite informing screening personnel that he had been to Africa, in the light .
Despite telling a nurse that he had recently been in Africa and displaying other symptoms that could indicate Ebola, the Liberian man who would become the only person to die from the disease in the U.S. underwent a battery of tests and was eventually sent home.
A decade old study found that ebola varieties are the top two choices for bioweapons:
A white paper published in 2002 by the American Medical Association suggests that the Ebola and Marberg viruses are the top two choices for bio-weaponry for use against the civilian populace. In fact, the paper concludes that “Weapons disseminating a number of HFVs could cause an outbreak of undifferentiated febrile illness 2 to 21 days later, associated with clinical manifestations that could include rash, hemorrhagic diathesis, and shock.” Interestingly enough these are the exact viruses seen in the two new emerging outbreaks.
Like a bad horror movie, the paper goes on to shockingly point out that modern “clinical and microbiology public health laboratories are not currently equipped to make a rapid diagnosis of any of these viruses, and clinical specimens would need to be sent to the CDC or the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID; Frederick, Md) the only 2 level D laboratories in the Laboratory Response Network.” Meaning, that it will just be too much work and take too much time to screen everyone showing up to hospitals and medical clinics with symptoms. This is what is already taking place in the West-Africa, the U.S., Spain and even Australia. We are likely past the point of no return. It’s been reported that as many as1. 4 million deaths may occur by mid-January, according to official projections conservatively....MOREHERE
THERE IS NO QUICK FIX—OUR OSPITALS AND LABS ARENT STRUCTURED FOR RAPID EBOLA RESPONSE.
THIS COULD BE THE BIG ONE—AND NOBODY IS SOUNDING THE ALARM OR PUTTING REALISTIC CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES IN PLACE.
Does FEMA have enough body bags and incinerators to do the job?
