Emory Healthcare to treat Ebola patient
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Emory University Hospital is expected to receive a patient infected with the deadly Ebola virus within the next several days, the university announced Thursday.
It’s unclear when exactly the patient will arrive, according to a statement from Emory. The Clifton Road hospital has a specially built isolation unit to treat patients exposed to certain serious infectious diseases. Set up in collaboration with the Atlanta-based U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the unit is physically separate from other patient areas and is one of only four such facilities in the country.
The Associated Press reported Thursday that the Ebola death toll passed 700 in West Africa as security forces went house-to-house in Sierra Leone’s capital looking for patients and others exposed to the disease.
The CDC warned against travel to Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
The AP also said that almost half of the 57 new deaths reported by the World Health Organization occurred in Liberia, where two Americans, Dr. Kent Brantly of Texas and Nancy Writebol, a North Carolina-based missionary, are also sick with Ebola. It was unknown which of the two was coming to Atlanta.
Quoting an unidentified source, CNN reported Thursday evening that a medical charter flight left Cartersville to evacuate the two Americans from Monrovia, Liberia.
Experts on the Ebola virus expressed little concern that the virus would spread to other continents. CDC Director Thomas Frieden said an outbreak in the United States was “not in the cards.”
Agence France-Presse interviewed Dr. Peter Piot, a discoverer of the virus and head of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who said there was little risk of pandemic.
“Spreading in the population here, I’m not that worried about it,” he told AFP.
“I wouldn’t be worried to sit next to someone with Ebola virus on the Tube as long as they don’t vomit on you or something,” he said, referring to London’s underground train system. “This is an infection that requires very close contact.”
Ebola is spread through contact with bodily fluids
Fairfax County will not be out done. Bringing in bunches of Illegal kids to do it's part. Ebola infectived will be next.

Ebola is normally spread through contact with bodily fluids, but evidently it can be transmitted through aerosol, which means it can be weaponized.
I wonder if a terrorist attack could be made using aerosolized ebola.
See "Marburg and Ebola viruses as aerosol threats", http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15588056 and "Experimental respiratory Marburg virus haemorrhagic fever infection in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23441639

We must welcome Ebola patients from all over the world and treat them with respect. Only a racist bigot would object. Now shut up and pay your fucking taxes you peasants.

Ebola is not dangerous as long as you enjoy bleeding out of all your cavities including your eyes. I agree with Sharroom Bullover that we need a diversity of tropical disease imported into the US.
Diversity is strength!

So we should just let them die abroad? They're best chance of survival is returning to the States on a private medical jet and being transported to a specially built unit at the hospital via a medical tunnel. They will NOT be processed at Hartsfield Airport. If those were your family members, how would you feel? These are citizens, btw.

Relax.
NoVA residents have developed a natural resistance to the Ebola virus from those Reston monkeys.
