State Department plans to bring foreign Ebola patients to U.S.

The document has been shared with Congress, where lawmakers already are nervous about the administration’s handling of the Ebola outbreak. The memo even details the expected price per patient, with transportation costs at $200,000 and treatment at $300,000.

Were they ever wrong about the Affordable Care Act cost estimates? However, the published Washington Times cost estimates are the costs and risks of Ebola infection that second generation EbolaCide could soon be reducing if not eliminating.

The number of cases in the Ebola outbreak has exceeded 10,000, with 4,922 deaths, the World Health Organization says in its latest report.

Looking at the situation today, science fiction writer Jerry Pournelle comments: "God protects fools, drunks, and the United States of America. Of course we were a much more devout nation when (Otto von) Bismarck made that observation."

14 October 2014 – The Ebola outbreak is “winning the race” against attempts to contain it, the head of the United Nations mission working to stop the deadly virus warned the Security Council today as he urged the international community to help expand on-the-ground efforts across the affected nations in West Africa.

In his briefing, Anthony Banbury, head of the UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER), told the 15-nation Council that he is “deeply worried” that the steps implemented by the international community are “not nearly enough” to halt the advance of the fatal disease.

“Ebola got a head start on us,” he said. “It is far ahead of us, it is running faster than us, and it is winning the race. If Ebola wins, we the peoples of the United Nations lose so very much…,” he said.

“We either stop Ebola now or we face an entirely unprecedented situation for which we do not have a plan,” Mr. Banbury told the Council via video link from the operation’s headquarters in Ghana.

"The current Ebola virus’s hyper-evolution is unprecedented; there has been more human-to-human transmission in the past four months than most likely occurred in the last 500 to 1,000 years."

- Michael T. Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, printed in the New York Times on Sep. 11, 2014

The Ebola virus mutates rapidly in the wild, evolving new mechanisms for surviving and spreading. Hundreds of different strains of Ebola have already been documented since the outbreak began in Africa.

Vaccines can only target a single strain or a small group of related strains. So even if a vaccine is manufactured and released, it will by definition already be months behind the evolutionary curve of viral strains circulating in the wild.

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.

Yesterday we reported that according to Peter Jahrling of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease - one of the top authorities in the world on Ebola - and who is on the front lines fighting Ebola disease in Liberia, there is something different about the current Ebola outbreak in that not only does it spread more easily than it did before, but the viral loads in Ebola patients are much higher than they are used to seeing. "I have a field team in Monrovia. They are running [tests]. They are telling me that viral loads are coming up very quickly and really high, higher than they are used to seeing.... It may be that the virus burns hotter and quicker."

That is one observation on how different the current Ebola outbreak may be from the traditional fare. Another one comes courtesy of Operon Labs, which as cited in detail below, notes that "the current Ebola 2014 virus is mutating at a similar rate to seasonal flu (Influenza A). This means the current Ebola outbreak has a very high intrinsic rate of viral mutation. The bottom line is that the Ebola virus is changing rapidly, and in the intermediate to long term (3 months to 24 months), Ebola has the potential to evolve."

The question is evolve into what?

Media responds: 'Six reasons to panic' about Ebola in America

(NaturalNews) A growing segment of the mainstream media is now engaging in cognitive dissonance regarding the Ebola crisis, warning the public not to get in a fear frenzy over the disease even though this same media is responsible for stirring up such panic in the first place. But as explained in thorough detail by The Weekly Standard, there are some valid reasons to panic about Ebola, despite what the media is saying.

Here are six of them:

1) Circulating Ebola strain has already mutated more than 100 times and could be airborne. A pundit on one of the major cable news networks recently told the public not to worry about Ebola -- just get a flu shot! Except that, one, the flu shot won't protect you from Ebola (or the flu for that matter), and, two, what health authorities think they know about the currently circulating Ebola strain is shortsighted and false.
.
.
.
6) Governments likely to play politics over Ebola. Already in the U.S., we've seen politics get in the way of sound decision-making concerning Ebola, including insistence by the Obama regime that no travel bans be implemented. If partisan disputes continue to interfere with making proper plans of action, the Ebola epidemic could quickly spiral out of control in ways depicted only in science fiction.
