..."It's the single greatest concern I've ever had in my 40-year public health career," said Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. "I can't imagine anything in my career - and this includes HIV - that would be more devastating to the world than a respiratory transmissible Ebola virus."


Ebola was a dumb virus more than a decade ago, dumber than what it is today. Studies indicate that it is evolving, it is mutating...

The Ebola virus sweeping through West Africa has mutated repeatedly during the current outbreak, a fact that could hinder diagnosis and treatment of the devastating disease, according to scientists who have genetically sequenced the virus in scores of victims.

MP: Is there anything you’d like to see the CDC and other public health officials do that they haven’t done so far here in the United States?

MO: First of all, we have to acknowledge where our shortcomings are. The idea that all 5,000 hospitals in the United States will be able to take care of an Ebola patient — that’s simply not true. And we don’t want to do that. We want to have regional centers throughout the United States where both patient care and worker safety can be addressed. We also need to have every hospital, every doctor’s office, every private minute-clinic type environment be able to recognize potential cases of Ebola. If you have a travel history in the last 21 days of having been to West Africa, no matter what illness you’re being seen for, [the medical staff] has to consider Ebola.

As for the idea about fever, we have a real concern about that because it’s potentially a very spotty standard. I personally have received information from clinicians in West Africa where potentially 20 percent or more of the patients have no fever and they die of Ebola. Fever is present most of the time, but I don’t want to see a case fall through the cracks because they didn’t present with fever. A constellation of other symptoms combined with the fact that they were in West Africa within the past few weeks should absolutely raise suspicion — even if you find another illness. We’re now finding patients who present with both malaria and Ebola, or cholera and Ebola. So we have to rule out Ebola, and that needs to be done safely. If they come into a community hospital, we have to have the expertise to handle them safely there. But they shouldn’t receive clinical care as such. At that point they need to be moved on to a regional treatment facility where they get the kind of care they deserve and where the workers are protected.

Potentially 20 percent or more of the patients have no fever and they die of Ebola...

A passenger died on a Nigeria-to-JFK flight after a vomiting fit Thursday — and a top lawmaker said officials gave the corpse only a “cursory” exam before declaring that the victim did not have Ebola.

(NaturalNews) After watching the testimony of CDC director Tom Frieden (and others) before a congressional committee today, it is abundantly obvious that no official source is going to tell the truth about the realistic danger of an exploding Ebola outbreak in the United States. Under the leadership of Frieden, the CDC has reached a state of delusional denial that staggers the mind, continuing to insist that Ebola cannot be spread through indirect contact (i.e. via contaminated surfaces).

The droning mantra of the CDC has now become, "We will consider any options that help reduce risk to Americans." Yet somehow those options do not include air travel isolation -- a fundamental tool in halting any pandemic outbreak.



The CDC claims they know how to stop Ebola...? If that is the case, why would we "the people" need a lawyer as Ebola Czar??? What for, to give us the whitewashed news??? And where is the U.S. Congress in all of this???

WASHINGTON -- President Obama's new Ebola 'czar,' Ron Klain, has an extensive resume at the top levels of politics and government -- if not in battling infectious diseases.

He was the chief of staff for two vice presidents -- Joe Biden and Al Gore -- and one attorney general, Janet Reno. He also served as a senior White House aide to President Obama.

After leaving the White House for the private sector in 2011, Klain became a partner in the Washington lobbying firm of O'Melveny & Myers LLP. He was not himself a registered lobbyist, however, which means the White House ban on hiring lobbyist doesn't apply.
...
Case said Klain would take a leave of absence and planned to return to his company. "Ron is a talented manager and a wise counselor who understands government, business, and the non-profit sectors," Case said in a statement. "We look forward to welcoming him back soon."

As Biden's chief of staff, Klain had a key role in implementing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 -- and signed off on one of its most controversial projects: a $535 million loan guarantee to solar panel maker Solyndra.

"Sounds like there are some risk factors here -- but that's true of any innovative company that POTUS would visit," Klain wrote to Department of Energy officials on May 24, 2010, a day before Obama visited a company factory. "It looks like it is OK to me, but if you feel otherwise, let me know."

We are playing Ebola genetic roulette as the virus mutates and what we need is a lawyer as Ebola Czar???
