Also Wondering: Let's say from "day one to death" how long do people live with Ebola? Is it a fast or slow death like within a month of contracting Ebola?

There isn't any hard and fast rule, but in general, an otherwise healthy person is going to be dead WELL within a month's time... or on the way to recovery. That's from day one of SYMPTOMS... not from infections, as it can take up to 3 weeks (21 days) before symptoms start.

From the reports in Africa, people who are getting "state of the art treatment" (for over there, which probably just means IV's and symptomatic care- not life support) are either dying or beginning to show some improvement within about 2 weeks of entering the hospital.

A sane country would not allow entry into anything but an isolation chamber, if a traveler was returning from a hot zone... "Enjoy your stay in quarantine until the full incubation period, plus a few days, has passed."

We lost our sanity 4 Presidential elections ago. This has all the signs of turning into "that" crisis TPTB have always wanted....

Ok, read over at TTOL that they held a press conference and said that "test results will be back in 3 days". NO "preliminary results were negative" or anything like that. This is... worrisome.

ELISA testing generally can be done in a few hours. Presumably, California would have the labs which could have done that within a few hours. Now they are apparently talking about running the longer (more accurate) tests, which makes me surmise that they didn't like the result they got from the fast test...

This one COULD possibly end up being our first positive.

Also... I read somewhere (WAY too much reading... I need to start copying and pasting things that jump out at me!) that "low risk" includes people who "had family members infected, but weren't involved in providing care". WTF??!! Are they NUTS??

One more red flag: The CBS report said Kaiser would have no further press updates at this time. That means FEMA ordered them to shut up until test results are received.

I was just watching KCRA 3 news and they said the patient arrived here in early August from Africa. They expect the test results back on Friday. If the patient does test positive, then they will start tracing contacts. They keep emphasizing that the patient as "low risk" and the public is not at risk.

Of course. Because a positive test will cause mass hysteria in San Francisco. Gasp, they might even have to have protected sex in their bath houses! :eek: :kk2:

Gang, any public admission by WHO, the CDC or the local health authorities stating this person, or any person in the USA, had tested positive for the Ebola virus would have two instant impacts.

First, it would make the sheeple sit up, rub their World Wrestling Watching eyes, and get nervous. The powers that be fear two things only: one is an armed populace; the second is a sheeple stampede like in the John Wayne move "Red River."

Second. Any public admission would instantly, utterly and completely collapse the Back to School shopping frenzy that is required to keep the consumption and debt driven USA economy semi functional.

They will NEVER admit an Ebola case since it end the Back to School multi billion dollar shopping orgy. By the time Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas shopping starts it will not matter what "they" say. For now "they" will do whatever it takes to keep the sheeple happy, at least until the November elections are done. Using Ebola to start a crisis themed we can't vote is no doubt a fond wish of our global masters. <G>
