UN says Ebola must be contained by Christmas or it will be out of control

By Rick Moran
UN officials admit that unless the international community can get Ebola under control by Christmas, the world will face an "unprecedented" situation for which there are no plans to deal with.
Sky News:

"The WHO advises within 60 days we must ensure 70% of infected people are in a care facility and 70% of burials are done without causing further infection," said Anthony Banbury, the UN's deputy ebola coordinator.
"We need to do that within 60 days from 1 October. If we reach these targets then we can turn this epidemic around."But Mr Banbury told the UN Security Council the 70% target was becoming harder to meet as new infections stack up.
He urged: "We either stop ebola now or we face an entirely unprecedented situation for which we do not have a plan."The UN's Unmeer emergency mission is following a four-pronged plan to fight ebola.
Identify and trace contacts; manage cases; ensure safe burials and provide people with information to protect themselves.

"If we fail at any of these, we fail entirely," warned Mr Banbury.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) earlier said there could be 10,000 new cases of ebola per week within two months. WHO assistant director general Bruce Aylward told a news conference the total was expected to top 9,000 by the end of this week. He said the death rate from the current outbreak had risen to 70% from about 50%. When asked how the situation could develop in the next two months, he warned: "We anticipate the number of cases occurring per week by that time to be somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 per week.

There have been a total of 9,000 cases so far and by Christmas they expect 10,000 a week? It doesn't sound as if they think they can get a handle on the outbreak. And their goals are totally unrealistic.
As long as the international community drags its feet on making a massive effort to halt the virus in its tracks, the worst case scenario will be in play

Nurses union: Ebola hospital, health care workers, not prepared to deal with the virus

By Rick Moran
A nurses union said that their interviews with non-union nurses at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas reveal a startling series of errors and lies that show the hospital was woefully unprepared to treat Ebola patient Thomas Duncan.
All the confident pronouncements about how prepared the hospital was, how careful they were, are apparently bogus.
The Hill:

A national nursing union is blasting the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas for what it described as a lack of preparation for Ebola that put healthcare workers at risk.

The criticism took place on a conference call late Tuesday night, before news early Wednesday that a second medical professional contracted Ebola while caring for Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person to enter a U.S. hospital with Ebola. There are now two healthcare workers with Ebola tied to Duncan's case. The first, 26-year-old nurse Nina Pham, was isolated over the weekend. Duncan died last week.

National Nurses United listed grievances it said reflected the views of nurses at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, who are not unionized. None of the hospital nurses reportedly spoke on the call, and their claims were not independently verified.

The nurses' statement said Duncan spent hours in the same room as other patients, and that Texas Health resisted isolating him despite urging from a nursing supervisor.

Nurses were also left to care for Duncan using incomplete protective gear, including gloves with no wrist tape, gowns that did not cover their necks and no surgical booties, the statement said, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Fluid samples used to diagnose Duncan were not "specifically sealed and hand-delivered," a failure that could have contaminated "the entire tube system.""There was no advanced preparedness on what to do with the patient. There was no protocol," the statement read. "There was no system. The nurses were asked to call the infectious disease department" with questions but did not receive answers.

"Hospital officials allowed nurses who interacted with Mr. Duncan to then continue normal patient-care duties," potentially putting other patients at risk, it continued.

The claims run contrary to the account from hospital officials, who said they had protocols in place to protect healthcare workers.

Who to believe? You have to ask what motivation would the nurses at the hospital have to lie. Hospital officials, on the other hand, have a great deal of motivation to cover up their incompetence by claiming everything was by the book.
Most troubling is the charge that the nurses were allowed to treat other patients while treating Mr. Duncan. If true, the CDC is not monitoring nearly enough people. If some of those patients and other health care workers who treated Duncan come down with the disease, we'll know who was telling the truth.

Government, Officialdom Responsible for Spread of Ebola

It's not called Obola for nothing

Instead of 21 days, it turns out somebody suspected of Ebola infection should be quarantined and monitored for twice that time, 42 days.

From the World Health Organization: “For WHO to declare an Ebola outbreak over, a country must pass through 42 days, with active surveillance demonstrably in place, supported by good diagnostic capacity, and with no new cases detected. Active surveillance is essential to detect chains of transmission that might otherwise remain hidden.”
The WHO estimates 2% of Ebola incubations occur after 21 days.
In other words, a number of people who passed the 21 days of observation without symptoms may in fact be infected and when released possibly pass the disease on to others.

The globalist organization said earlier this week it is “alarmed by media reports of suspected Ebola cases imported into new countries that are said, by government officials or ministries of health, to be discarded as ‘negative’ within hours after the suspected case enters the country.”
As the case of Texas nurse Nina Pham, who came down with Ebola after contact with patient zero, Thomas Duncan, and the response by the CDC and nurses, it should be painfully obvious the U.S. healthcare system is woefully unprepared to deal with an Ebola epidemic.
The CDC, a classic government bureaucracy with a bloated budget ($6.6 billion a year), has reacted in dinosaur fashion to the spread of the disease in the United States. The revelation the disease has a much longer incubation period will exacerbate its ineffectual response.
The top government bureaucrat at the CDC, Dr. Tom Frieden, told us not to worry about Ebola, that protocols were in place to contain the disease. After the Pham incident the leviathan agency declared there was a “breach of protocol” and Ms. Pham was to blame. After a nurse union complained about Freiden’s pass the buck response, we found out that, in fact, virtually all hospitals in the U.S. are not prepared to handle Ebola patients.
Ebola requires what is called level 4 bio-containment. “In the US there are 4 units geared up to handle Ebola. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, has 3 beds. Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, has 10 beds. Emory Hospital, Atlanta has 3 beds and St Patricks Hospital, Missoula has 3 beds,” writes Liz Bennett for Underground Medic.
In other words, the U.S. is basically in the same boat as West Africa. “I think we just found out why the government(s) are under-playing the situation,” Bennett continues. “They simply do not have the facilities to cope with even a small outbreak. They are, in fact in exactly the same position as the dirt-poor hospitals in West Africa… there are not enough facilities to stop the spread of the disease if it gets out. The quality of care is better, but the availability of containment most likely isn’t.”
Congress has promised to get to the bottom of the crisis, but you can bet this will quickly devolve into the normal Republican-vs-Democrat partisan free-for-all. As Carroll Quigley observed, the one party political system in the United States was designed to produce bickering that produces predictable and manageable results.
From The Wall Street Journal:

Thursday’s hearing comes as lawmakers ratchet up their criticism of the U.S. response to the Ebola virus. Republicans have lambasted the Obama administration for its handling of the disease. Democrats have said Republicans have failed to provide additional funding for health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while also calling for more preparation from the government.

Obama, who cancelled campaign events to “monitor the federal government’s response to the first instances of Ebola in the U.S.,” and Democrats, who in typical knee jerk fashion want to throw confiscated tax payer money at the disease and bloat the federal bureaucracy further, will ensure nothing of significance happens. Republicans, on the other hand, seem content with merely criticizing Obama and the Democrats.
Once again demonstrating government reacts in sluggish dinosaur fashion, House Speaker John Boehner has called for a travel ban from West Africa while Democrats, led by the ever inapt Nancy Pelosi, say this is not necessary.
The White House has resisted any effort to stem the virus by banning travel from West Africa. Instead, it has ordered what amounts to a facile public relations campaign – instituting “disease surveillance” at airports, an effort experts roundly condemn as not only ineffectual, but ludicrous.
Polls reveal two-thirds of Americans want passengers from West African nations barred from entering the United States, but as usual the government arrogantly ignores them.
Ryan McMaken writes that the “long-term view of the history of disease prevention does not present much of an impeachable case for government intervention. Indeed, governments excel at creating the conditions that enhance the spread of disease, as they did with the Spanish flu in the aftermath of World War I.”
As Ron Paul noted recently, Firestone established treatment and quarantine procedures to prevent the spread of the disease in Harbel, Liberia, where the company maintains a rubber plantation.
“Firestone’s success in containing Ebola shows that, far from justifying new state action, the Ebola crises demonstrates that individuals acting in the free market can do a better job of containing Ebola than can governments,” Paul writes.
“It is far more likely that a decentralized and private-property-based approach would be more manageable, effective, and adaptable to local conditions,” McMaken adds.
But, of course, the decentralized, local and property-based solutions proposed by Paul and McMaken are anathema to ever-expanding government, so we can expect more of the same as the disease continues to spread.
It’s not called Obola for nothing.

H George Tavakoli originally shared:

The FDA is openly threatening sellers of natural remedies that might be useful for slowing or stopping Ebola

Instead of encouraging people to boost their immune systems with nutritional therapies, natural remedies and superfoods, the FDA is actively going out of its way to threaten resellers of colloidal silver and essential oils.

Last week, the FDA threatened three companies with criminal prosecution if they didn’t take steps to dissociate their products from Ebola.

One company, the Natural Solutions Foundation, has since claimed that governments are actively seizing colloidal silver shipments to African nations in order to prevent Ebola victims from ever being treated with it. Are these authorities afraid that it might actually work?

Shouldn’t we be trying and testing every herb and natural remedy on the planet to find out how to stop Ebola? Or are we all supposed to wait around for the drug companies to manufacture an experimental vaccine and then put all our trust in that?

Doesn’t anybody realize the company testing the vaccine right now — GlaxoSmithKline — has a long criminal history of admitted felony crimes including the bribery of tens of thousands of doctors?

Ebola hoax: the numbers game

Ebola hoax: the numbers game
by Jon Rappoport
October 15, 2014
NoMoreFakeNews.com
There are several ways to create and manage a fake epidemic.
For example, the agency in charge invents case numbers and death numbers—and then, after they introduce the vaccine or the drug, they change those numbers. They lower them. The cut them down. And they say, “We won. We beat the virus with the vaccine.”
This certainly happened in the “Swine Flu crisis” of 2009. The CDC and WHO blew up the case numbers to absurd heights…and then shut the whole operation down by saying the numbers had dropped to negligible levels.
And they declared victory.
The CDC, the World Health Organization, the US Department of Homeland Security, the US National Institutes of Health, the DOD, and the suppliers and manufacturers of an Ebola vaccine…they’re all thinking the same thing:
“How do we manage the numbers, so we can produce the greatest degree of fear and compliance, and then claim victory?”
Up with numbers, then down with the numbers.
Here’s a situation where things didn’t work out so well for the managers. They stumbled badly and exposed themselves:
“… the swine-flu vaccination program was one of its (CDC) greatest blunders. It all began in 1976 when CDC scientists saw that a virus involved in a flu attack outbreak at Fort Dix, N.J., was similar to the swine-flu virus that killed 500,000 Americans in 1918. Health officials immediately launched a 100-million dollar program to immunize every American. But the expected epidemic never materialized, and the vaccine led to partial paralysis in 532 people. There were 32 deaths.” —U.S. News and World Report, Joseph Carey, October 14, 1985, p. 70, “How Medical Sleuths Track Killer Diseases.”
Here’s a situation where it did work out well for the medical crime bosses, because they covered their tracks and hid, from the general public, the effects of a vaccine:
“Suffice it to say that most of the large (polio) epidemics that have occurred in this country since the introduction of the Salk vaccine have followed the wide-scale use of the vaccine and have been characterized by an uncommon early seasonal onset. To name a few, there is the Massachusetts epidemic of 1955; the Chicago epidemic of 1956; and the Des Moines epidemic of 1959.” —Dr. Herbert Ratner, Child and Family, 1980 vol. 19, no. 4.

---

In 1987, I had several illuminating conversations with Dr. Herbert Ratner, who had been a public health officer in Oak Park, Illinois, when the polio vaccine was first introduced in the 1950s. Ratner told me how the polio numbers were manipulated.
Before the introduction of the vaccine, the Infantile Paralysis Foundation was paying doctors all over the US $25 for each diagnosis of polio. That stipend served to expand case numbers.
A patient with a limp and a fever who walked into a doctor’s office…polio. And 25 bucks for the doctor. (In today’s money, $222.71.)
About half of all cases of polio-paralysis cured themselves within 60 days. So after the polio vaccine was introduced, the definition of polio was changed: suddenly, to rate a polio diagnosis, the paralysis had to last longer than 60 days. This change automatically caused a drastic drop in case numbers—and that reduction was attributed to the effect of the vaccine.
Manipulation.
If you control the information about case numbers, if you can inflate them and deflate them, you can control perception of a crisis. You can invent and un-invent the crisis.

---

But wait. What about real numbers of people who have Ebola, who are dying from Ebola?
The real numbers? First of all, in every so-called epidemic, most cases are diagnosed by “eyeball.” The patient has a few general symptoms that are flu-like, he’s been in a certain country…bang. He’s a case number.
And the most widely used lab tests for diagnosis, which I’ve analyzed in detail in previous articles, are useless and irrelevant.
Briefly, the antibody test, when positive, and when it isn’t registering positive because it’s reacting to some irrelevant factor, is simply stating that the patient has contacted the virus in question. It says nothing about whether he is sick or will get sick. In fact, before 1985, a positive antibody test was generally taken as a good sign, a sign that the patient’s immune system had defeated the germ.
The PCR test is admittedly insufficient to say there is enough of a particular germ in the body to cause illness. And that’s on a good day. On a bad day, the sample of genetic material taken from the patient isn’t even viral in nature. It’s random debris. And during the sensitive process of doing all the steps of the PCR, the techs make mistakes, or tiny flecks of contamination in the lab get into the test and produce a false result.
No, the modern way to manage a so-called epidemic is by the numbers: as in inventing them.

---

One of the most egregious examples of the game was exposed in October of 2009, by Sharyl Attkisson, who was working at CBS News. She revealed that, with tens of thousands of purported Swine Flu cases in the US, the CDC stopped counting cases altogether.
The hidden reason? The overwhelming number of blood samples from the most likely Swine Flu patients, sent to labs for testing, were coming back negative for the Swine Flu virus, or any flu virus.
Three weeks after Attkisson’s revelation, the CDC chiefs doubled down. They estimated there were 22 MILLION cases of Swine Flu in the US.
Case closed.

OBAMA: I ‘Hugged and Kissed’ Ebola Nurses

Posted by Matt Duncan aka MD / October 16, 2014


President Barack Obama insisted Wednesday that the US response to the Ebola outbreak is effective and that the chances of the deadly virus taking hold in the United States are “extremely low.”

Concerns about health protocols have grown since two nurses that looked after Thomas Eric Duncan, who died of the disease, contracted the virus. Duncan was infected with Ebola in Liberia, where he is from, and then took a flight to the US.
Obama told reporters after a hastily convened meeting with 20 senior White House officials, including Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, Vice-President Joe Biden and Attorney-General Eric Holder, that he himself had close contact with health workers treating Ebola patients while visiting Emory University Hospital in Atlanta and felt safe doing so.

“I shook hands with, hugged and kissed not the doctors, but a couple of the nurses at Emory, because of the valiant work they did in treating one of the patients. They followed the protocols, they knew what they were doing, and I felt perfectly safe doing so,” said the president.
Obama said it wasn’t like the flu virus, which can be transmitted in the air through coughs and sneezes.

He said he was “absolutely confident” that there will not be a serious outbreak of Ebola in the US, but stressed that it will become increasingly difficult to control the epidemic if it is not dealt with at its source in West Africa.

The president held video conferences with the French, British, German and Italian leaders on Wednesday to discuss the international response to the outbreak.

Updated: Obama Appoints Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

Melissa Melton October 17, 2014



UPDATE: The Washington Times reports that Ron Klain has been named Obama's Ebola czar.

Responding to urgent calls from Congress and a fearful public, President Obama has tapped a former White House official to serve as his “Ebola czar.”
Ron Klain, an attorney who worked for Vice Presidents Joe Biden and Al Gore, is president of Case Holdings, which handles business interests for former AOL CEO Steve Case, and general counsel at Revolution LLC, a tech-focused venture capital firm in Washington, according to the White House.
Cumbersome CPAP machines or risky surgery are not the only answers to solving sleep apnea.
He will be the point-person in charge of responding to the deadly virus in the U.S., and will report directly to Homeland Security Adviser Lisa Monaco and National Security Adviser Susan Rice.
Although Mr. Klain does not come from the public health sector, the White House said he possesses “strong management credentials, extensive federal government experience overseeing complex operations and good working relationships with leading members of Congress, as well as senior Obama administration officials, including the president.”

Editor's Note: So, this administration thinks the best way to deal with the Ebola outbreak is to appoint a czar who doesn't come from the health sector, thus having no real knowledge of the disease, but because of "strong management credentials" and "federal government experience" he'll do just fine, right? What could possibly go wrong in this scenario? Seeing how it's already gone wrong with people who work in the public health sector, I'd say Mr. Klain is being set up as the willing scapegoat.
The original article follows.
Because the answer to big failure by big government is always…more government.
Reuters is now reporting that Obama is actually considering appointing an Ebola czar to quote, "coordinate the fight against the virus in the United States," but the outlet went on to note that Obama remains opposed to banning flights from the Ebola hot zone in West Africa.
And really that's all that needs to be said here.

This government has mishandled the response to this virus at every possible turn to the point that a growing number of people believe the whole thing is a blown-out-of-proportion hoax. Well, at this point, it's either a hoax, or some people are working extra hard at allowing themselves to look like total idiots while purposefully making sure the virus spreads in this country.
Now Obama is going to maybe appoint a czar who, if he was worth two cents at "coordinating the fight against the virus," would BAN FLIGHTS — an action to which Obama is opposed.
To clarify, Obama is going to appoint an Ebola czar to tell him more nonsense about how to stop Ebola from coming here other than banning the very flights which Americans have been told are the only way Ebola has ever come here in the history of its existence.
An Ebola czar… What a complete load of b.s.
No wonder people who still have any faith in this system whatsoever are completely freaking out. It's beyond obvious how broken and useless it is.
(P.S. – At least the media will get to have a field day playing out the nickname "Obola Czar" to its little black heart's content.)
