Dallas Ebola Patient Was Another Visa Mistake

Dallas Ebola Patient Was Another Visa Mistake

By Jessica Vaughan, October 1, 2014
Center For Immigration Studies

Look up "likely visa overstay" in the dictionary, and you should find a picture of Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man who is the first Ebola case diagnosed within the United States, and who is now being treated in a Dallas hospital.
This looks like another good case for the consular officers training manual of a non-immigrant visa that never should have been issued, but which could have serious public health consequences, not to mention monetary costs.

According to his Facebook page and other reports, Duncan is a 40-something, single, unemployed Liberian living in Ghana who applied sometime in the last year for a visa to visit his sister in the United States. It was reportedly his first time visiting this country.

That is six strikes against his application:

1. Single
2. Unemployed
3. Liberian (5th highest overstay rate of any country in the world)
4. Living outside country of citizenship
5. First time traveler to the United States
6. Sister living in the United States.

Together, all these factors should have weighed very heavily against the issuance of a visitor's visa to Duncan. He clearly appears unqualified.

In 2013, more than 3,500 non-immigrant visas were issued to Liberians. This number has grown steadily since 2009, when just over 1,300 were issued. Most are issued to tourists and business travelers. A relatively high percentage do not return, but settle here illegally to join a well-established Liberian community (many of whom have won green cards in the visa lottery).

The federal government has yet to disclose the details of Duncan's immigration history, but it is fair to ask why he was issued a visa in the first place? More importantly, what steps are being taken to prevent others who may be infected from entering the country?

Using 2013 non-immigrant visa issuance statistics and information on visa validity periods, I estimate that there are about 5,000 people from Sierra Leone, 5,000 people from Guinea, and 3,500 people from Liberia who have valid non-immigrant visas to enter the United States.

The president and his immigration agencies have the authority and the responsibility to deny admission to any alien that has (or cannot establish to the government's satisfaction that he or she doesn't have) a communicable disease of public health significance, such as ebola. In the midst of this severe outbreak, the government should be setting up more robust screening protocols. Reportedly, travelers to the United States are simply being questioned about their contact with infected people and are checked for a fever. In contrast, three African countries (Namibia, Kenya, and Zambia) have banned travelers from the countries that are experiencing the outbreak (Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea).

In July, a member of Congress sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry and Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson suggesting that we bar entry to any foreign travelers who have visited the three Ebola-stricken countries within 90 days of seeking entry to the United States.

But, as with the threat from terrorism and from foreign criminal cartels, the Obama administration seems reluctant to use immigration controls even to protect the homeland.

The first patient to be diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. was identified Wednesday as Thomas Eric Duncan.

Thomas Eric Duncan, identified by a former employer and seen in this undated Facebook photo, is the first Ebola patient to be diagnosed in the United States.
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital sent Duncan home on September 26 despite telling a nurese he had traveled to the United States from Ebola-ravaged West Africa. (ABC)
Thomas Duncan was vomiting wildly outside of this apartment on the way to the hospital.
Yahoo reported:

Two days after he was sent home from a Dallas hospital, the man who is the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the United States was seen vomiting on the ground outside an apartment complex as he was bundled into an ambulance.
“His whole family was screaming. He got outside and he was throwing up all over the place,” resident Mesud Osmanovic, 21, said on Wednesday, describing the chaotic scene before the man was admitted to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday where he is in serious condition.
The hospital cited the man’s privacy as the reason for not identifying him. However, Gee Melish, who said he was a family friend, identified the man in Texas infected with Ebola as Thomas Eric Duncan.

Duncan’s sister Mai Wureh told the Associated Press it was her brother who is at the center of the country’s latest Ebola scare.

The ride of the fourth horseman

Revelation:6:7-8

tells us this about the fourth seal: "When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, 'Come and see.' So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him."

The Expositor's Bible Commentary says this about the color of the fourth horse: "'Pale' ( chloros ) denotes a yellowish green, the light green of a plant, or the paleness of a sick person in contrast to a healthy appearance." Put bluntly, this horse is the color of death .

In Jesus' parallel prophecy in Matthew 24, He explained that in the wake of religious deception, war and famine would come "pestilences" or disease epidemics (Matthew:24:7).
The seals have a cumulative effect. False religion causes instability within relationships leading to war. Famine follows war, and when malnourishment occurs and social systems break down, human beings are more susceptible to disease. These seals depict the ferocity of problems unleashed on the world in the lead-up to "the Day of the Lord."

There would be other calamities as well. Jesus also listed in the same context "earthquakes in various places" (Matthew:24:7). "Plague" in Scripture denotes not only pestilence but also other calamities in nature that God uses to punish a disobedient humanity. Of course, any such calamities make populations that much riper for the spread of disease epidemics.

The latter part of Revelation:6:8, speaking of all four horsemen, states: "And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth to kill with sword, with hunger, with death and by the beasts of the earth."

By the time the fourth horseman completes his ride, a fourth of earth's inhabitants will experience incredible devastation. The death toll will be unlike any from plague and disease in human history.

To understand how bad it can be, let's go back and look at some of the great plagues of history.

The Black Death

Perhaps the most famous plague in history is the Black Death of the 14th century, thought by most to have been bubonic plague. Estimates are that more than 20 million people (a third to half of Europe's population) died in the outbreak.

In 1346, reports reached Europe of a devastating disease from China that was affecting many parts of Asia. The next year a mysterious disease appeared in Italy. Ships from the Black Sea sailed into Messina with sailors infected with black boils in their armpits and groins. It was the bubonic plaque.

The disease was so lethal that people were known to go to bed well and die before waking. There were two types of this plague.

The first was internal, causing swelling and internal bleeding. This was spread by contact. The second concentrated in the lungs and spread by coughing airborne germs. There was no known prevention or cure.

Whole towns were depopulated. The social structure completely broke down.

Parents abandoned children; husbands and wives left each other to die. In many cases no one was around to bury the dead, both from fear of contagion and lack of concern. One writer of the time tells of observing 5,000 bodies lying dead in a field.

In that age, the Bible was the primary means to measure any natural calamity. The only way to understand what was happening was to believe the world was coming to an end. There seemed no hope for the future.

The bubonic plague has appeared in more recent times as well. The Great Plague of London in 1664-65 resulted in more than 70,000 deaths in a population estimated at 460,000. An outbreak in Canton and Hong Kong in 1894 left 80,000 to 100,000 dead, and within 20 years the disease spread from the southern Chinese ports throughout the whole world, resulting in more than 10 million deaths.

The plague came to America from Asia in 1899. Today cases are still reported, and an average of 15 people die each year. The disease originates in rodents and is usually transmitted to people by fleas, although animal bites can also be the means of transmission. It is still a virulent disease. As few as 10 bubonic plague cells can cause a person's death.

Perhaps disease transmission from rodents is part of what Revelation:6:8 means by death from "the beasts of the earth." Microbial and viral infection could also be intended.

Human-engineered plague

Throughout its history, plague has been used as an offensive weapon against populations. The Mongols would catapult plague-infested corpses over the walls of besieged cities.

Thousands would die as the disease spread through the walled-in population.

During World War II, Japan dropped plague-infested fleas on China. American research growing out of the war experience led to a decades-long research project at Fort Detrick, Maryland, proving that biological warfare was a feasible method of waging war.

In 1969 U.S. President Richard Nixon ordered the research stopped, and in 1972 the United States signed a treaty with 70 other nations outlawing the production, stockpiling and use of biological weapons as a means of war. Despite this treaty, it is known that many nations, rich and poor alike, have developed biological weapons.

The former Soviet Union conducted a sophisticated effort to manufacture biological weapons during the Cold War years. For years scientists researched ways to genetically alter bubonic plague so as to make it resistant to many forms of modern treatment.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, the tracking and inventory of all this work has been a great concern. The United States and its allies fear that some of it could have fallen into the hands of terrorist groups and could one day be used against them.

After the first Gulf War in 1991, weapons inspectors confirmed that Iraq had developed biological weapons and had even equipped some warheads with germs to use against Saddam Hussein's enemies. The location of these weapons since that time is part of the unsolved mystery of that regime. Could some of them be in the hands of al-Qaeda or some other radical Islamic group, waiting to be used on the West?

Are nations prepared?

Today America and the West brace themselves for further attacks from terrorist groups. What is perhaps feared most is a biological attack with smallpox or some other widely communicable germ. Experts know that the West is woefully underprepared for such an attack.

In June 2001, the Center for Strategic and International Studies hosted a senior-level war game examining the security challenges of a biological attack on the American homeland.

The premise was the appearance of a case of smallpox in Oklahoma City, rapidly spreading throughout the country. Among the lessons learned from the exercise: "An attack on the United States with biological weapons could threaten vital national security interests.

Massive civilian casualties, breakdown in essential institutions, violation of democratic processes, civil disorder, loss of confidence in government and reduced U.S. strategic flexibility abroad are among the ways a biological attack might compromise U.S. security" (www.homelandsecurity.org/darkwinter/index.cfm ).

Other estimates say that within days a million people would be dead and two to three times that many infected. No one knows what lies out there waiting to be used by groups wishing other nations harm. We only know that it could happen.

BREAKING: Mass Ebola Quarantine Underway

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/pr...aQ=w426-h240-n

Published on Oct 2, 2014
The Ebola outbreak is on full alert in Dallas Texas. Liberian national Thomas Duncan flew to the US from West Africa on September 20th. Several days later, Duncan walked into Texas Health Presbyterian hospital complaining about Ebola-like symptoms. He reportedly told the nurse he just came over from Liberia. They sent him home with a prescription for antibiotics. A few days later, he came rushing back to the same emergency room.

One neighbor living nearby says he witnessed Duncan vomit outside of his house, near the corner of an apartment building. We have an unconfirmed report from a source who works in the hospital. We’re working to confirm that source now, but there’s a rumor that Thomas Duncan not only vomited all over his apartment, but that he also puked INSIDE the ambulance and later all over the emergency room floor. Of course, this is BEFORE EMTs knew he was from Liberia.

We believe THAT ambulance was also used to transport other sick patients BEFORE it was cleaned. Now we know that the man’s family and several other people ARE in quarantine, with another 100 people being closely monitored by the CDC.

As the story continues to develop, Let’s turn to a regular guest on the broadcast, well-known homeopathic practitioner Robert Scott Bell.

Ebola Patient Flight Path

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu5lSnGojC0&feature=autoshare
Published on Oct 2, 2014
Thomas Eric Duncan. He’s the man being treated for Ebola at a hospital in Dallas. He flew on United Airlines, with a layover in Washington DC. Duncan flew part of his trip on United. The airline says they’ve been informed the CDC about his flight path. He apparently flew on September 20th on United Flight 951 from Brussels to Washington Dulles, and then from Washington Dulles to Dallas, flight 822. The CDC says there is NO risk to fellow passengers, because Duncan showed no symptoms at that time. Passengers are NOT being individually notified. But by now, many of them probably know.

Thomas Duncan is a Liberian national who likely contracted Ebola while caring for an infected, pregnant woman. The New York Times reports Duncan helped carry the woman as she sought help. She died shortly afterwards. Five days after contact with the ill woman, Duncan arrived in Dallas to visit relatives. Six days later, he went to a hospital complaining of symptoms. Just before boarding an ambulance to head back to the hospital, he was seen vomiting outside an apartment before returning to that hospital. Paramedics confirmed Duncan was vomiting INSIDE the ambulance. When they dropped him off, no one from the hospital informed the EMTs that their ambulance was just exposed to a deadly virus. They went on to drive around for several hours before learning the Ebola patient was in close contact with them.

Now, all four paramedics are some of the Dallas area residents under a quarantine. Duncan’s family is also under quarantine. We’re also hearing unconfirmed reports from INSIDE the hospital that Duncan vomited all over the emergency room. Many sick patients, with already compromised immune systems, may be in grave danger of contracting a deadly disease.

Another vehicle transported Duncan some time ago too, and it was in circulation for days after he was on board. The United Airlines Boeing 777 plane was NOT scrubbed clean as of October 2nd, twelve days after hosting a sick Ebola patient. Since then, that plane has been to Chicago, Portland, Denver, back to Portland, Newark, Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, LaGuardia in New York, Seattle, Houston, Orlando and several cities in between.

The CDC has already started monitoring at least 100 people who came in contact with Duncan. If they backtrack two weeks, they could soon be reaching out to anyone who traveled on that airplane.

Obama, Johnson, Kerry Others Allowed Ebola Into U.S. – Could Have Denied Entry To Infected Alien

Posted on 2 October, 2014 by Rick Wells
http://gopthedailydose.com/wp-conten...bama-740-2.png
The White House occupant himself could have acted to prevent the Ebola case in Dallas. So could HHS Secretary Burwell, DHS Director Johnson or Secretary of State Kerry. That is the determination of Jessica Vaughn, the Director of Policy Studies at the Center for Immigration Studies.

Vaughan said in an interview with Breitbart News that there wouldn’t have been a need for any funny business with a pen or a phone or trumped-up claims of authority. The necessary authority is contained in existing United States immigration law. The actions of the regime indicate an ignorance of immigration law, or a failure to recognize it validity, so their oversight might be in some ways understandable.

Vaughan says that the Immigration and Nationality Act grants broad authority to bar non-citizens, such as Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan from entering the country. There’s that tricky lingo again. Obamabots always confuse that word “citizen,” with “resident.”

The mechanisms for protecting the population are already in place and working in regard to other diseases. She said, “They have broad authority to bar any non-citizen from entering the country, but the INA does have a provision on the books already that bars people who have communicable diseases of public health significance. It gives the authority to HHS to create that list. The language says it’s only people who have them who are barred.”

“So what you have to do is set up a system of screening to make sure people you’re allowing to travel into the country are clear,” she explained. “We’ve done that with some of these other diseases in the past-and the way they do that is every visa issuing post has local doctors that they work with who will screen people who get immigrant visas to make sure they don’t have tuberculosis or leprosy or other diseases. You could similarly require that people who want to travel here on visitor’s visas go through a medical screening and put the burden of proof on the traveler to show they are not infected and are not carrying the disease.”

While the federal government has put Ebola on the list of “banned diseases” and sent 3,000 troops to build medical facilities in Africa, we haven’t taken the proper preventative measures here in the homeland. It’s not unlike guarding the Korean DMZ while our border remains wide open to an ongoing invasion.

Vaughn says “It’s all under the executive branch’s authority how to manage that. They should be working with public health experts on how to detect the disease and for what period of time people should be cleared for. But my understanding from listening to the reports about this case in Dallas is that it’s the airline that’s having people fill out reports and taking their temperature. From what I’ve read that’s not enough.”

Vaughan said the Obama administration has done “nothing” to screen for Ebola, adding, “It seems to have been outsourced to the airlines.

“But one thing they did announce was they were suspending deportations to Liberia in order to protect the criminal aliens who are living here from having to go back to their own country and catch this disease,” Vaughn said. “We keep hearing from the CDC that there’s almost no way to catch it, and yet we’re protecting people from deportation? We don’t protect people from deportation to countries that have high rates of HIV or Tuberculosis? This is supposedly harder to catch than that, Tuberculosis.”

Vaughn summarized the regime’s “efforts” saying, “So we’ve taken steps to protect illegal aliens from catching this in their home country but there hasn’t been anything done to protect Americans because there already are about 200,000 people who have been issued visas to travel here,” Vaughan stated. “Even if you stopped issuing visas today, there are already 200,000 people who have been issued visas to come here.”

Vaughan said if the administration actually had a plan earlier, the case in Dallas would likely not exist. Timely, effective planning is not a regime strong suit, regardless of the nature of the problem.

Tragic Story of Ebola Patient Zero Thomas Duncan’s Final Hours at Dallas Home Just Released

By Eric Odom

Thomas Duncan’s home country may be pressing charges against him for lying in order to get on a flight. And our report suggesting he may have intentionally brought Ebola to the states with the hopes of getting medical care may very well turn out to be 100% accurate.

But none of that changes the fact that what Duncan went through (and is likely still going through) is simply beyond the imagination of anyone who hasn’t experienced it. Ebola, in its late stages, can have terrifying and horribly painful outcomes for its victim. Unfortunately, it sounds like Duncan may have gotten the worst of it.

Washington Post got an exclusive interview with Duncan’s female friend, the woman he was staying with while in Dallas, and she spelled out in great detail the final days before Duncan vanished into the belly of a Dallas hospital. As she notes in the interview, Duncan was taken to the hospital on Sunday and none of the family members or friends have seen or heard from him since.

Here’s a snippet of the WaPo piece.

Thomas Duncan shivered in the king-sized bed, even though he was tucked under the covers and fully dressed — pants, socks and two shirts. It was Sunday morning, Sept. 28, and Duncan, from Liberia, had been in the United States visiting Louise Troh at her Dallas apartment for the past week. He felt weak and cold, he told Troh’s daughter, Youngor Jallah.

So Jallah took a quick trip to Wal-Mart and bought a $50 brown cotton blanket. When she returned, she draped it over Duncan’s shoulders and then gently lifted him by his back to try to get him to drink some hot tea. That’s when she looked into his eyes and knew in her heart that things were very bad.

“I’ve been seeing Ebola on TV, how it starts, with muscle pain, red eyes. When I see his eye it is all red, and I think maybe this time it is Ebola virus and I should be careful,” Jallah, 35, said in an interview with The Washington Post at her nearby apartment, where she and her family have been quarantined.

She took his temperature — 102 degrees.

“I’m going to call an ambulance,” she said.

Further down the story we see a very disconcerting block of information.

No one in the family has seen Duncan since he left the apartment Sunday morning in an ambulance.
Also living in Troh’s apartment at the time were her son Timothy Wayne, 13, and two men in their 20s, a relative named Oliver Smallwood and a friend named Jeffrey Cole. The four are now quarantined in the apartment.

The night before Duncan was taken to the hospital, Jallah and her partner, Aaron Yah, had left their daughter and three sons, ages 2 to 11, with Troh for the night. The children usually spent part of each evening with their grandmother because Jallah’s job as an overnight nursing assistant overlaps with Yah’s as a health aide. That Saturday night, the four kids slept overnight on their grandmother’s *couches.

On her way to the Ivy Apartments on Sunday morning, Jallah had called Yah to tell him that Duncan was ill and that he should come right away to take the children home.

Health officials say there are no symptoms just yet, but keep in mind it took some ten full days before Duncan himself became ill. Meaning, if there are going to be symptoms we may not know until next Tuesday or Wednesday.

In any event, it’s hard to imagine what this family is going through. I hope and pray it never happens to mine.

UPDATES: Officials Say Ebola-Infected Man Lied on Questionnaire Before Flying to U.S.

http://foxnewsinsider.com/sites/foxn...?itok=pKf1BKi8


by Fox News Insider // Oct 02 2014 // 10:52am
As seen on America's Newsroom


New details are emerging today on the first case of Ebola reported in the United States. The patient, identified as Thomas Eric Duncan, is reported to be in serious but stable condition.

---

UPDATE, 3p ET: Dallas health officials held a news conference with the latest information on the Ebola case.

---

UPDATE, 2p ET: In his latest report on "The Real Story," John Roberts said Duncan lied on a questionnaire when he left Liberia. He answered "no" to a question on whether he'd been in contact with anyone who had the Ebola virus.
It turns out Duncan helped carry a woman who was too weak to walk because of the virus. Liberian officials intend to prosecute Duncan if he ever returns to the country, Roberts reported.
Up to 100 people are now believed to have been exposed.

---

John Roberts reported this morning that officials wanted to make sure Duncan's family "stayed put" until Oct. 19. He said county officials encouraged the family to stay home, but weren't sure the family would comply.

"So they put it down on paper. That has the force of law so if they were to go out and try to mingle in the public they could potentially be arrested," Roberts reported.

According to reports, 80 people may have been exposed to the virus, including five children who were in close contact with Duncan as he became sicker.

Parents in the Dallas area are nervous amid reports that those kids then went to school.
Gov. Rick Perry said the children are being monitored and maintained that the virus cannot be transmitted until after symptoms appear.

Details of the man's 28-hour trip from western Africa emerged Wednesday. He flew on two airlines, took three flights, and had lengthy airport layovers before reaching Texas on Sept. 20.

Still, federal officials say other passengers on the flights are at no risk of infection because the man had no symptoms at the time of his trip.

Duncan left Monrovia, Liberia, on Sept. 19 aboard a Brussels Airlines jet to the Belgian capital, according to a Belgian official.

After layover of nearly seven hours, he boarded United Airlines Flight 951 to Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C.

After another layover of nearly three hours, he then flew Flight 822 from Dulles to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the airline confirmed.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Duncan sought medical care Sept. 25 in Dallas after falling ill the day before.

The hospital is now being called into question because they let Duncan leave after he went to the ER and told them he had just come back from Liberia.

Roberts reported that the hospital had just gone over their Ebola procedures with staff. A hospital official, however, said the information about Duncan's travels was not communicated to the "whole team."

The Ebola In America Threat Widens: Patient With Ebola-Like Symptoms Quarantined In D.C. Hospital –Recently Traveled To Nigeria

By Velvet Hammer
2:22 pm October 3, 2014

YET Obama REFUSES to ban flights from Ebola stricken countries.
Madness!
Via NBC Washington:

A patient with Ebola-like symptoms is being treated at Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C., a hospital spokesperson confirmed late Friday morning.
The patient had traveled to Nigeria recently.
That person has been admitted to the hospital in stable condition, and is being isolated and tested. The medical team is working with the CDC to determine whether the patient has Ebola.
“In an abundance of caution, we have activated the appropriate infection control protocols, including isolating the patient,” said hospital spokesperson Kerry-Ann Hamilton in a statement. “Our medical team continues to evaluate and monitor progress in close collaboration with the CDC and the Department of Health.”
Hamilton did not share further details about the patient, citing privacy reasons, but said the hospital will provide updates as warranted.

My friend Zilla speaking truth to power:

I think it’s deliberate, but what those dicks fail to realize is that infectious disease does not GAF about a person’s wealth or political connections. The people who are creating a deadly pandemic will not be immune to it, sure they have the means to get medical care that us plebes can only dream of, and they can try to isolate themselves in their (largely taxpayer funded) mansions, but they still go out to push their agitprop and are just as likely as anyone else to run into someone who has been exposed & can be a carrier, and also, their servants tend to live among the rest of us poor schmucks and may shop where we shop or have kids in schools with our kids who have been do recklessly exposed to all manner of disease both from the gov’t’s deliberate failure to contain Ebola and from infected contagious foreign invaders who our public schools have been forced to accommodate. Six degrees of Kevin Bacon meet six degrees of infectious contagion. Nobody is safe, not even our leftist overlords who are doing their damnedest to bring about the zombie Apocalypse. That they will also sicken and die with the rest of us is our only consolation.

Back in August, UK and France restricted flights from West Africa.

Jessica Vaughan, the Director of Policy Studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, argued that US Ebola patient Thomas Duncan never should have received a visa on Friday’s “Laura Ingraham Show.”

Vaughan argued that Duncan was “profoundly unqualified to get a visa,” because “he is single, he was very marginally employed, lightly educated,” and “has visa overstay written all over him.” She added “it is very concerning to see this guy was able to talk someone into giving him a visa in the first place”

She also reported that “despite the fact that Liberia has one of the highest overstay rates of any country in the entire world, the State Department has been increasing the number of visas every year that it issues to Liberians, even though they have such a high rate of abusing those visas and contributing to illegal immigration here.”

Ebola Victim Rises From The Dead In Africa, Fear Of Zombie Apocalypse


For the first time in human history, confirmed footage is captured of a man who scientists watched die from Ebola then only several hours later, regain life and rise from the dead.

Isaiah 26:19-20
19 Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.

Ganta, Liberia – Officials in Liberia have released the first confirmed image of a captured Ebola victim who rose from the dead. The name of the victim has not been released by the WHO, and news of the patient rising from the dead comes only hours after the United States announced its First Ebola victim in Dallas, Texas.

The Liberian government is accusing the United States of creating Ebola as a bioweapon to use for future wars. Citizens of Liberia have expressed outrage and concern that the US may have tested an ‘evolved’ form of the virus on their nation’s populace, not forseeing the virus’ spread reaching beyond medical containment.

The first reports of Ebola victims rising from the dead was reported by Liberia’s National Newspaper. Initially, officials from the World Health Organization fled in shock and horror as the Ebola patients suddenly arose from the dead. After organizing military reinforcements and obtaining increased containment measures, World Health Organization’s special operations staff quickly responded with military assistance and quarantined the two Ebola victims who arose from the dead.

With Texas now infested with an unknown amount of Ebola patients, nearby Kansas has declared a state of emergency. Kansas Governor Sam Brownback has declared October “Zombie Awareness Month” and the state is on high alert for a zombie outbreak. Homes across the state are to receive pamphlets warning them of how to prevent the spread of Ebola and what to do if an Ebola Victim falls dead and then starts to show life again.

Updates will be made to this report as details become available. Please continue to watch television and online news sources for the latest details. Officials estimate the Ebola virus will spread to over 5 million people within two months. The virus is deadly if not treated. It is currently not known how many people the Dallas Ebola victim came in contact with before quarantine measures were put into place.

Stay tuned as the story develops….

BREAKING OVERNIGHT! 2nd Dallas Healthcare Worker Tests Positive For Ebola In Preliminary Test


Officials: 2nd person tests positive for Ebola

DALLAS (AP) — A second Dallas hospital worker who provided care for the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the U.S. has tested positive for the disease, pointing to lapses beyond how one individual may have donned and removed personal protective garb.

It's not clear how the second worker contracted the virus. Authorities declined to say what position she holds at the hospital or the type of care she provided to Thomas Eric Duncan, who was diagnosed with Ebola after coming to the U.S. from Liberia. Duncan died Oct. 8.

Officials have said they also don't know how the first health worker, a nurse, became infected. But the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said "an additional health care worker testing positive for Ebola is a serious concern."

"What happened there (in Dallas), regardless of the reason, is not acceptable. It shouldn't have happened," Anthony Fauci, director of the Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of NIH, said on MSNBC Wednesday.

The worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital was monitoring herself for symptoms, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said. The unidentified woman reported a fever Tuesday. She was in isolation within 90 minutes, Jenkins said.

"We are looking at every element of our personal protection equipment and infection control in the hospital," said Dr. Daniel Varga, chief clinical officer for Texas Health Resources, which operates Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.

Dr. Tom Frieden, head of the CDC, has acknowledged that the government wasn't aggressive enough in managing Ebola and containing the virus as it spread from an infected patient to a nurse at a Dallas hospital.

"We could've sent a more robust hospital infection control team and been more hands-on with the hospital from day one about exactly how this should be managed," he said Tuesday.

The second case may help health officials determine where the infection control breach is occurring and make practices safer for health workers everywhere. For example, if both health workers were involved in drawing Duncan's blood, placing an intravenous line or suctioning mucus when Duncan was on a breathing machine, that would be recognized as a particularly high-risk activity. It also might reveal which body fluids pose the greatest risk.

The CDC was conducting confirmatory testing of a preliminary Ebola test conducted late Tuesday at a state public health laboratory in Austin, Texas, which came back positive.

Emergency responders in hazardous materials suits began work before dawn Wednesday to decontaminate the Dallas apartment of the second hospital worker. Officials said she lives alone with no pets.

Notices handed out to neighbors advise them that "a health care worker who lives in your area has tested positive for Ebola."

Ryan Fus, 24, who lives in the same building as the blocked-off apartment, said police knocked on his door before 6 a.m. to notify him and make sure he was doing OK.

"It's a little scary. It's a little shocking that it's right near me," he said. "But I'm not afraid or anything like that. I'm not gonna run away."

Frieden outlined new steps this week designed to stop the spread of the disease, including the creation of an Ebola response team, increased training for health care workers nationwide and changes at the Texas hospital to minimize the risk of more infections.

"I wish we had put a team like this on the ground the day the patient — the first patient — was diagnosed. That might have prevented this infection," Frieden said.

The stark admission came as the World Health Organization projected the pace of infections accelerating in West Africa to as many as 10,000 new cases a week within two months.

The new case lends support to nurses' claims this week that they have inadequate training and in some cases, protective gear, to take care of Ebola patients.

"They're not prepared" for what they are being asked to do, said RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of National Nurses United, a union with 185,000 members.

Based on statements from nurses it did not identify, the union described how Duncan was left in an open area of the emergency room for hours. It said staff treated Duncan for days without the correct protective gear, that hazardous waste was allowed to pile up to the ceiling and safety protocols constantly changed.

DeMoro refused to say how many nurses made the statement about Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, but insisted they were in a position to know what happened.

Officials say at least 76 people at the hospital might have been exposed, and all are being monitored for fever and other symptoms.

Nurse Nina Pham, 26, contracted the virus while caring for Duncan. Health officials are monitoring 48 others who had some contact with Duncan before he was admitted the hospital where he died.

Pham became the first person to contract the disease on U.S. soil. She released a statement Tuesday through Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital saying she was "doing well," and the hospital listed her in good condition. She has received a plasma transfusion from a doctor who recovered from the virus.

Pham was in Duncan's room often, from the day he was placed in intensive care until the day before he died.

She and other health care workers wore protective gear, including gowns, gloves, masks and face shields — and sometimes full-body suits — when caring for Duncan. Health officials have said there was a breach in protocol that led to the infections, but they don't know where the breakdown occurred.

Among the changes Frieden announced was a plan to limit the number of health care workers who care for Ebola patients so they "can become more familiar and more systematic in how they put on and take off protective equipment, and they can become more comfortable in a healthy way with providing care in the isolation unit."

In case you didn't know it or still in denial, Texas is GROUND ZERO. Wide open for illegal aliens, terrorists, and Ebola refugees fleeing any endemic disaster coming from all of South America and Africa ..
