Ebola: Updates 10/16/14
I am going to be very direct and no pussyfooting around this time. I am positively incensed over the incompetence and political-financial spin that the United States of America is doing to its citizens. I strongly believe that the inhabitant in the White House has poor advisors and is making inept decisions putting this nation at grave and certain death.We all have a grasp that in any catastrophe it is historically advisable to avoid panic. Well the cat is out of the bag and people are questioning, fearful, and going through the first stages of self preservation i.e.: buying into belief systems, accepting that “all is well-keep working and spending…” Ebola does not care if you are Protestant, Catholic, Buddhist, or a Scientologist- it is equal opportunity, and will kill you no matter how hard you pray. What you can do is organize, sets up food repositories, medical supplies, instruct good people on what the threat is and what they can do.
Let us first look at some of these inept propaganda fostered belief systems of the White House and underling government sycophants.
We are modern with hospitals and science to protect us. That is false. There are not enough beds and hallways to board everyone. Already the D68 children’s virus, (allegedly brought to the USDA by the tens of thousands Central America migrant children across our open boarders and quickly dispersed about the USA to liberal political non thinker hacks seeking financial largess and votes), cannot find enough hospital beds, nor medical equipment to provide for the indigenous population of affected children.
Let us make this clear-hospitals across the USA do not have level 4 containment rooms for this virus. Level 4 containment rooms are found only in fifteen laboratories in the USA and they are not for treatment, but research. I repeat: hospitals do not have the containment facilities for level 4, some may have level 3 containment, but they are few; most function at a level 1.
Hospitals have never experienced this type of level 4-virus outbreak. For the protection of the nurses and doctors they must wear “Moon Suits”-that is the complete sealed suit with an air hose, not a filtered belt pack, but an air hose to the suit to keep it pressurized and there is absolutely no skin exposed. The head is sealed in a big sealed bubble-hence a Moon Suit. In addition there are three phases of removal of this moon suit after contamination and that involves disinfectant showers, one being chlorine which kills most everything. Each shower room is sealed before you can get to the next one after showering. .
Considering that EBOLA, alone, is expected to currently rise to ten thousand a week and that being an exponentially simple math equation will reportedly rise in Africa to one million four hundred thousand victims by January 2014. Factoring that EBOLA had started a simple one-person cat out of the bag virus accelerator in Texas, just like the one child in Africa that contracted the virus last March (patient zero), it is “spreading beyond control.”
We cannot expect hospitals to provide bed, palliative care (comfort, antibiotics, experimental vaccines, pain killers, vomit bags, contaminated blood clean up, endless care and financial expense on the shoulders of a hospital now listed as $1,000.00 a day. Simply put there is not enough trained willing medical staff, and doctors who specialize in virology, mortuary and ambulance services. It will become incumbent upon the family of the victim, under voluntary quarantine, to care for the victim(s). Obviously since neither you nor I have the facilities in our homes to provide palliative care and protect ourselves from EBOLA; this will enable the disease to spread and spread. This system is now being introduced in Africa, as there is not enough care givers nor trained medical staff, much less disputed “hospital” settings.
The US Army has been tasked with constructing canvas “Pop Up” Quonset hut shelters-first a 25 bed rest for the burial crews, and poorly trained and equipped medical African staff. I did see on one shut down site that the military was stringing rolls of razor wire- that would deter desperate effected EBOLA victims from overwhelming the tiny facility. The Army is also tasked with setting up 1400 bed “Mash” hospital settings. I fail to grasp the effectiveness of these units when the exponential rate will exceed One Million four hundred thousand in 3 months. I would further question why 4,000 men, and women are assigned as a construction battalion for this purpose. I speculate there is a further agenda as the US Army is expected to send an additional 4,000 “security” troops shortly, which will probably be housed in the Quonset tent like structures.
Just released information is that there exists an ongoing argument between the US Army and Commander-in-Chief about deploying service men and women to such hazards; therefore, the President is conscripting the National Guard for this task.
Why are we sending our young men and women to such a risk? Could it be a political grandstand that we are doing “something”? What resources and financial gain do we derive from Africa (diamonds chrome, cocoa, timber, cheap labor) that necessitates putting not only these brave young service people at risk, but also the entire world? Will they be infected too? Probably! If and when they return to the USA will they be quartered in some remote location? Will they be quarantined? For at least 3 months, based on current studies, the virus lodges in the male prostrate even though the other body organs are “clean and uninfected”. Female solders are open to infection based on their menstrual cycle. This places wives and sweethearts at risk for sexual relations. A condom may be too porous to protect from the exceptionality tiny virus.
The White House wants to retain open-air traffic to the USA and encourages Europe, Great Britain, Ireland, India Australia as well as smaller obscure countries to do the same for aircraft coming from the virus infected African hot spots. The obvious rational goal is commerce, for the time being, keeping the system operating. However the grim view is that the White House, as reported by numerous right wing commentators, is that the liberal thinkers are too far left and committed to an unsafe agenda that imperials all of us with the rapid spread of EBOLA; this “political correctness “ is “fascist” thinking and the basis of the Nazi elitists in WWII.
Common sense is to PROTECT your citizens FIRST, even at the peril of economic downturn and the peril of Wall Street banks. Use a military aircraft if you have to get in or out. Shut down commercial airlines traffic in and out of Africa as well as ships.
The CDC’s new temperature airport screening procedures are a sham. Does any rational human being expect that the 6,000 passengers a month from Africa, landing in the USA is going to be honest on a questionnaire? Consider the 18,000 plus Africans who hold a USA Visa and waiting their turn to immigrate. Are some of these people with fevers taking Ibuprofen to normalize fevers? What would you do, wanting to escape from Ebola-land?
There is considerable controversy about Ebola being transmitted by skin contact and/or breath. The skin contact theory is viable according to the CDC physicians (based upon the CDC pdf
with the nurses having skin exposed and not wearing proper protective preparations, i.e. a moon suit. But most illuminating is the CDC publication about level 4 contaminations being passed by breath. See item #4 on the CDC article Recognize the four bio-safety levels

Next week we shall discuss further the criminal incompetence of the government and directors of failing hospital management. Within a week there will be many more emerging EBOLA cases in the USA. What can you and I do to protect family and ourselves? As information is considered, looking at the exponential numbers of infected, there will be changing options.
Lastly I want to point out that having a flu inoculation provides not only flu protection but provides that if you develop flu symptoms after the inoculation this may be the beginning symptoms of Ebola since the two symptoms are similar. The N100 anti-viral mask is for flu and related level 1 virus. It may not be expected to protect you from Ebola virus. Only a pressurized “Moon Suit, ” and a safety supervisor in a laboratory can do that.
God Bless us all. Forward this on to your friends and political representatives., newspapers and media sources.
