WHO issues warning over Ebola in Port Harcourt An Ebola outbreak in Nigeria’s oil producing hub of Port Harcourt could spread wider and faster than in the financial capital, Lagos, the World Health Organization warned on Thursday. The UN health body said the arrival of the virus in Port Harcourt, which is 435 kilometres (270 miles) east of Lagos, showed “multiple high-risk opportunities for transmission of the virus to others”. - See more at: [link to www.vanguardngr.com] |

Desperate WHO calls Drug Summit as Crisis Worsens - Ponders using Blood of Survivors! Cuts at W.H.O. Hurt Response to Ebola Crisis With treatment centers overflowing, and alarmingly little being done to stop Ebola from sweeping through West African villages and towns, Dr. Joanne Liu, the president of Doctors Without Borders, knew that the epidemic had spun out of control. The only person she could think of with the authority to intensify the global effort was Dr. Margaret Chan, Shocked the director general of the World Health Organization, which has a long history of fighting outbreaks. If the W.H.O., the main United Nations health agency, could not quickly muster an army of experts and health workers to combat an outbreak overtaking some of the world’s poorest countries, then what entity in the world would do it? “I wish I could do that,” Dr. Chan said when the two met at the W.H.O.’s headquarters in Geneva this summer, months after the outbreak burgeoned in a Guinean rain forest and spilled into packed capital cities. The W.H.O. simply did not have the staffing or ability to flood the Ebola zone with help, said Dr. Chan, who recounted the conversation. It was a fantasy, she argued, to think of the W.H.O. as a first responder ready to lead the fight against deadly outbreaks around the world. [link to www.nytimes.com] Okay, so what exactly IS their job? We are at the precipice of one of the most dangerous disease outbreaks in history, and we have the most incompetent group of leaders in history to handle it. WHO, led by communist Chan, who has pretty much just called meetings and make vague suggestions at what they need, but no real explanation on who, how, when, where to do it... Then you have CDC being run by the equivalent of a medical community organizer who's skillset is pretty much the ability to make big pronouncements, but also who seems to have no real plan... And a US president who seems to have checked out. Of course all 3 off these seem to think that limiting PASSENGER air travel will hurt medical supplies/personnel going in and out. But we all know these folks have private charters, personal planes and military aircraft at their disposal. The either have difficulty thinking outside the box or refuse to. |

CDC Director on Ebola: ‘The Window of Opportunity Really Is Closing’ “Despite tremendous efforts from the U.S. Government, from CDC, from within countries, the number of cases continues to increase and is now increasing rapidly. I’m afraid over the next few weeks, those numbers are likely to increase further and significantly. There is a window of opportunity to tamp this down, but that window is closing. We need action now to scale up the response. We know how to stop Ebola. The challenge is to scale it up to the massive levels needed to stop this outbreak.” [link to www.cdc.gov] |

[link to time.com] WHO ponders treating Ebola-infected people with blood of survivors As the Ebola outbreaks rages on in West Africa, the World Health Organization (WHO), desperate for a way to help infected people, is reconsidering a potential Ebola treatment tried as far back as 1976, after the first documented outbreak of the deadly viral disease: using the blood of people who have recovered from an infection to treat those still fighting the virus. “Convalescent serum is high on our list of potential therapies and has been used in other outbreaks (eg in China during SARS),” WHO said in a written statement to Science Insider. “There is a long history of its use, so lots of experience of what needs to be done, what norms and standards need to be met.” [link to news.sciencemag.org] this could get dangerous for the survivors how much blood would they take from each one? |

Desperate WHO calls Drug Summit as Crisis Worsens - Ponders using Blood of Survivors! Check the video - Liberians coming into the state in droves. Liberia is the heart of the outbreak. How many are from DC? The Right Policy is Always Conservative "The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President." - Vaclav Klaus |
