(OP) User ID: 50731767 United States 10/06/2014 04:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not even close to the 21 day isolation period. Sept 28 to Oct 5th, what is the CDC playing at? The article is quite long, about the stigma the family and community is feeling. Both of Troh's daughter are interviewed, Mawhen- the one who picked him up at the airport, and Youngor- the one who cared for him and called the ambulance. The article indicates both daughters have been cleared by the CDC. [link to www.washingtonpost.com] Although CDC officials have cleared her, saying it is unlikely she contracted Ebola when she visited her mother’s apartment last week to welcome the man she calls her stepfather, she said she has been shunned. Jallah said she did not touch Duncan when she greeted him. She said he was sitting in a chair as she said hello from the door of her mother’s bedroom. But she said people do not understand that it is nearly impossible to contract Ebola without touching the bodily fluids of a symptomatic person. Jallah’s mother has been ordered into isolation by Dallas health officials. Troh was moved Friday from her apartment to an undisclosed house in Dallas, where she remains with her 13-year-old son, Duncan’s cousin and another 20-year-old man. Each had lived in Troh’s apartment, where Duncan stayed. Troh’s other daughter, Youngor Jallah, 35, who cared for Duncan before calling the ambulance to get him, was told Sunday by CDC officials that she no longer has to isolate herself and her family. “They came today to say it is okay if I want to go out,” she said. |

[link to online.wsj.com] Woman Close to First Ebola Victim in U.S. Watched Fatigue Turn to Fever Youngor Jallah, a Nurse’s Aide, Called 911 Days After Thomas Duncan Was Sent Home from Hospital By Dan Frosch Oct. 3, 2014 2:07 p.m. ET Moving swiftly into nursing mode, Ms. Jallah took Mr. Duncan’s temperature and blood pressure, while he sipped some tea. He was running a 104 fever, and his blood pressure was low, she said. At that point, Ms. Jallah decided to call 911. She knew well that Ebola was raging through Liberia. And even though Mr. Duncan never told her that he had been in contact with anyone sick there, she said she wasn’t taking any chances. “I said you need to go to the hospital,” she said. When emergency workers arrived, Ms. Jallah informed them that Mr. Duncan was sick and traveled here from a virus-stricken region in Africa. They quickly put masks over their faces before taking Mr. Duncan away. Several days later, Ms. Jallah and her family are still quarantined in their home. They can’t leave for 16 more days, under instructions from health officials, and they are deeply frustrated. |

She is also worried about her children who were exposed to him. And she is concerned for the man she calls her stepdad. [link to online.wsj.com] Incidentally, this is the woman who reported that others in her family were showing signs of a cold. The reporter noted coughing, sneezing and sticky eyes among them. Fortunately, not ebola symptoms, but I wonder if the children are also free to go to school. [link to www.dailymail.co.uk] |

Quoting: Mister Obvious Either it's all bullshit or the incompetence of the CDC is mindnumbing. Either it's all bullshit, or it's already completely out of their hands and they are buying time before panic sets in. Which one, which one? I do not feel panicked by it, just wary. Even if a small outbreak occurs, people will die in a horrible fashion. Or it's bullshit. In either case, I cannot fathom why anyone is letting these imbeciles handle the world's deadliest germs. |
Anonymous Coward 10/06/2014 06:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | October 6, 2014 Quoting: [link to www.cnn.com] In Duncan's case, family members who had close contact with him will be monitored constantly for at least 21 days. That's roughly the maximum amount of time it takes for the disease to break out. And they are not allowed to leave their living quarters during that time. If any of them gets a fever, he or she will be isolated, Frieden said. |

The CDC shouldn't even be in control of the common cold never the less a huge virus like this that could kill. I am taking it that no one remembers just a few months ago when they admitted to losing over 20 vials of deadly virus, and they found a few but were looking for the ones they didn't find. The few they found had been sent to a college run facility rather then where they were suppose to go. And yet we depend on these incompetent idiots to help us all to make it through a deadly outbreak???? Edited due to putting hugs not huge lol Last Edited by pmb1 on 10/06/2014 06:33 AM |

They know if people fear something beyond the governments control they freak out. If people fear something within the governments control they do not freak out as bad. If Ebola is spread after strict quarantines and heavy response, people will have ZERO confidence in the gov's response. IE, attempts to keep it down fail. If Ebola is spread from stupid mistakes, then people won't fear as much when the lock down comes about. Same thing with Sun Doom. If an EMP takes the grid out, it will be blamed on attackers (more controllable) instead of the Sun (beyond our control). If the gov deploys everything they have and then it spreads, people will panic. If it spreads THEN action is taken, people won't panic as much. Fucked up situation either way. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 58917784 United States 10/06/2014 08:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just read this article and noticed nobody mentioned this fact in the comments. This means clearly that the CDC told her she is welcome to come and go as she pleases. And btw, coughing and sneezing is a cold/flu symptom so it therefore can be considered an ebola symptom. Spread it out, everywhere you go! This is what the CDC is hoping. And the fact that in the article she mentions that she continued to take her 2 year old to daycare until they asked her to keep him at him, she said she was just heartbroken. Ummmm your at home too lady- take care of your kid! And why the f%ck did she take him in anyway? It's like seeing the kid in school with the snotty nose and wondering wtf the parents brought their kid in to spread that shit around. Selfish. Stay at home, stop whining about it- you knew this was a possibility since you told someone from Liberia to come for a visit. You ought to be shunned for coming outside exposing the public to it. |

Is Duncan alive or not? Is the CDC playing with fire or are they faking/hyping this crap? I am trying to stay out of panic mode but it is hard to do with the stupidity of the way this has been handled along with the unanswered questions. This whole story with Duncan and his family is absurd. |

Also her young children spent the night at these sick peoples home as they babysat her children while she worked. The ebola patient had slept on every mattress in that home..So he children have been very exposed also. This shit is scary and these people in charge are stupid! |

Now she will always be shunned for her selfishness. Missionary people are sell quarantine, the same as the NBC doc. Because they know that's what's accepted by society. Its better to do that than have to have everyone you know back up when you approach. Its a common reaction. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29047130 United States 10/06/2014 09:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And the CDC said that in the unlikely event Ebola came to the US they would quickly contain it or stamp it out ir whatever. lol You don't contain ebola by letting even those who are low risk wander around the public. Here's the deal with ebola. The only way to stop it is disruptive and it causes economic ripples. The gov wants to keep importing diseased fucks but it does not want to deal with the reprocussions. What they are doing at this point letting these (possible) bio terrorists wander around the public like this is endangering the public. The gov is trying to downplay the risk of Ebola hoping people won't panic and won't stop spending money and paying taxes but went people get sick because the gov was willy nillly with the exposed people this shit will backfire on the gov big time. It's far better to treat the potentially diseased in a harsh manor (lock down) than do what they are doing sihce at least when the potentially exposed are locked down, even the "low" risk ones, the general public feels safer. Also I'm tied of these dumb black fucks whining about being stigmatized. Good. They need to be. What kind of stupid do you have to be to knowingly allow someone from a country with an Ebola oitbreak to visit you? There is no way in hell id have allowed it. I don't care who the person was. These idiots need to deal with it and STFU. I guess quarantine because of their fucked up choices is racist though. I'm tired of the US treating blacks with kid gloves because nobody wants to nr racist. I don't want Ebola and I don't want my kids to get it. If that makes me racist then good. |
