CDC Director Tries to Reassure Public, Fails Abysmally
He actually worries the hell out of me.
I've been noting this for some time. The media and the government -- essentially, these two institutions have fused; they are partner operations in the same corporation -- endlessly peddle fictions to the public on the theory that the public cannot handle the truth, and will panic, or bomb mosques, if they are told the truth. Witness the government and media assuring us -- falsely -- that Alton Nolen's religion was all but irrelevant to his Jihadi Beheading Rampage. This interview of the director of the CDC -- the first, best, and only line of defense against a major outbreak of a deadly disease -- with Sanjay Gupta of CNN seems to be of a piece with that idea of telling the morons whatever you have to tell them to keep them quiet and peaceable. The director of the CDC says that you have no fear of infection by ebola unless you are in direct contact. So, he says to Gupta, neither of us is at any risk of infecting the other just standing here, talking to each other, at a distance of a yard or so. The CNN anchor in the studio asks about a sneeze, and Gupta then points out that the CDC's own guidelines state that infection is a risk in cases of either direct contact or close proximity of three feet or less with an infected person. The CDC guy then blathers something about taking each case individually on its own merits or something. What? These are general guidelines, and apparently the CDC's own general guidelines do say that close proximity (three feet or less) is enough to create a risk of infection. "We would look at that" and "it depends on the situation" are very, very different from "no risk" of transmission. So why is this guy claiming that only direct contact is enough for transmission? This is very worrisome. You know what would make me not panic? If the officials in charge of protecting us actually sounded like they knew what the hell they were talking about and weren't forever censoring the truth to keep us from panicking. And by the way, this guy didn't seem to be prepared to discuss this. He did not have a ready explanation for his seeming contradiction. Now some of this stuff is complicated, and maybe it's the case that (he seems to have been hinting clumsily at this) if a patient is in his most highly infectious stage, he can transmit it by simply being within close proximity, but in those cases, he would almost certainly be a known ebola victim and kept under medical quarantine. And maybe he meant that in non-diagnosed cases, the patient may be infectious but not as infectious as in full-blown all-symptoms-presented ebola, and in that case, the case where the public is more likely to encounter such a person, only direct contact will suffice. But if that's what he meant, he sure didn't do a very good job of explaining it. And this is the head of the CDC. It's kind of an important part of his job to accurately and articulately broadcast information about public health threats to the public. So what the hell happened here? Why was Gupta's question about three-feet-or-less such a curveball for him? Shouldn't he have been more ready to address that? Eh, watch it yourself. What the hell. What the hell. You tell me if you feel "reassured" by this, or if your doubts about the Expert Officials tasked with protecting us have in fact increased. Hey guys: Try just treating us like educated adults and fellow citizens with a full right to know the information that affects us and our republic for a change, huh? The best inoculation against rumor and panic is the truth, the straight truth, the Adult Version of the truth, not the child-safe version of the truth where you tell everyone (as Obama did) that it's "unlikely" that ebola will ever come to the US, or that no one need fear ebola unless he comes into direct physical contact with an infected person. The government's and media's insistence on withholding information from us that it doesn't think we can handle is causing panic and rumors, not tamping down on them.Comments

In other words, quarantining the area, the preferred method of controlling a disease WITH NO CURE, would increase transmission rates to the US.
When Obama speaks about Ebola, he is getting his advice from this guy--hence his declaration a week or so ago that Ebola would not come here, something that freaked Chris Mathews the fuck out.

Persons in power, no matter the party, always behave this exact way. They will tell you they're in control and there's nothing to worry about, even as they step onto the last flight out holding a bag of money. When they say "No reason to panic" that should be taken as a code phrase for "have a few month's worth of food put by, and clean your guns"

We had a recent maritime Ebola scare that turned out to be nothing, but it didn't stop the CDC from shitting the bed in terms of communicating their intentions. The feds are showing an incredible incompetence in calling and executing the plays after announcing that they're taking control of a situation.
When the story's done and published, there'll be more on this.
For what it's worth- the Texas public health folks are truly top-notch and are far more equipped to take care of the situation effectively than the feds have demonstrated themselves to be.
I do think that the Texas folks will keep it to the people they're currently worried about, and that this will burn itself out by the end of the month.

You know what would be helpful? A panel of hemorrhagic fever experts who work with EBOV, an epidemiologist, a virologist, and a doctor or two who have seen it firsthand. IOW real information.
This bubblegum and fairy tales BS PR spokesman song and dance has got to stop. You want to ward off panic? Give truthful, unvarnished, useful knowledge. Hiding the truth, while politically convenient, is going to make things much worse.

Nah. Wish I'd said it though. I did steal the "stainless steel colander face mask" thing, I think it was from Tam on the gunblogs.
I'm claiming "assless chaps" though. Sure, I stole that too, but it's too funny not to claim.

Rule 2) Mother Nature never loses.
Conclusion 1) Mother Nature is a bitch.
Conclusion 2) The only variable is when your time is up.
Just like the old TV commercials "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature", viruses are her weapon of choice. They mutate faster than a Democrat that's 10 points behind in the polls.
Obviously, this is going to get much worse before it gets any better. But as is the case with any crisis, this is God's will playing itself out. Prayer should be part of everyone's PPE in the next few weeks.

[a] No one has explained to my satisfaction:
(a) why this virus is so lethal, and
(b) why it is more contagious after symptoms appear.
Both are atypical for usual human viruses.
(a) because it breaks down the fibers of your internal organs and turns them into mush; mush organs can't do the things that keep you alive; and there's no known cure for it.
(b) it is after the symptoms appear that organ mush containing the virus can be bled or spewed onto the next victim.

Probably because when symptoms appear, you are oozing virus through and out of your entire body. Your vasculature becomes essentially permeable as one's ability to clot diminishes. Any irritated membranes (epithelial cells) are less able to heal and you leak virus everywhere. Think about your nose, for example, and all the blood vessels lining the nostril there just gushing out virus. A sneeze and it's within spitting distance of the next victim.
IOW your body has a difficult time keeping it with the tissue.

Let us all remember who foisted this ignorant fool upon us, the media. Ever since the election of GWB and his subsequent re-election, there has been a level of hatred in politics that one can only describe now as visceral.
I remember when there were effigies of GWB literally burning in the streets, and make-shift guillotine with GWB depicted with is head in a basket. These same people now want us to "respect" the man that as done more damage to EVERYTHING he touches or talks about. Not to mention how poorly he speaks of political adversaries vs. people that actually want to kill Americans. To call this man incompetent would be a compliment.
It is time for the people that actually CARE FOR and LOVE this nation to refute the lies carried by our media for this and any future administration that may even be worse than what we have now. I wholeheartedly believe that once the mass media is as discredited (or ignored) our country will never face the likes of an administration such that we are enduring now.
No more internet memes for president. This country deserves an experienced an patriotic individual who has a resume with substantial accomplishments. I understand I am wasting my thoughts here on this website, but there is nothing left to do but lament how we got here, and the fact that it is most likely only the beginning of the end for a once powerful and shining beacon of hard work and pride.
Thank you Democrats. Thank you MSM and your insultingly stupid/corrupt 'reporting' as it were. You have succeeded in your goals of fundamentally transforming this wonderful country into a collective common sense free environment where a simple phrase of "Hope and Change" somehow grants one access to the world stage.
Congratulations.

The Ebola patient was named today as Thomas Eric Duncan, who had traveled to the U.S. from Liberia on September 20 to visit family
Mr Duncan, a Liberian national
According to The New York Times, Mr Duncan worked moving cargo for Fedex in the Liberian capital Monrovia but had recently quit his job and gotten a visa to come to the U.S. where his son reportedly lives.
The Times also revealed that Mr Duncan may have contracted Ebola while helping carry his landlord's seriously ill, pregnant daughter to hospital.
The woman, named by The Times as 19-year-old Marthalene Williams was taken to a hospital on September 15, but turned away because there was no room to treat her. She died the following day.
The landlord's son and three neighbors who came in contact with the woman also died soon afterwards.

just wondering how well they clean the ambulances? I am asking because they used the same ambulance that transported the EBOLA patient for 2 days.

Wasn't readily available 20 years ago. Still not always "to hand" when dealing with kids who I would much rather use their elbow than my face to sneeze in (and you *have* to cover the sneeze *somehow*). Admittedly, the real trick is getting them to understand that they have to have their arm *in contact* with their mouth, not just sneeze over it.

contact with a female Ebola patient in Monrovia, her family and
neighbors tell the newspaper. Duncan rode in a taxi with the woman to
the hospital along with some of her relatives."
If this asshat survives the disease, he should be shot dead with rifles, and then have his body incinerated on the spot with thermite.
He knows that he was just inside a vehicle with an Ebola victim, in a country where people are keeling over left and right from Ebola, and then just four days later he knowingly GETS ON AN INTERNATIONAL AIRLINE FLIGHT?

You're missing the big picture. How many Muslims have self-detonated over the last 10 years. You can bet your ass that ISIS is right now buying plane tickets for Liberia, where their willing dupes will roll around in infected poop and then get on a plane.

, better known as Typhoid Mary, was the first person in the United States identified as an asymptomatic carrier of the pathogen associated with typhoid fever. She was presumed to have infected 53 people, three of whom died, over the course of her career as a cook. She was twice forcibly isolated by public health authorities and died after a total of nearly three decades in isolation.

She immigrated from Ireland, btw.

full right to know the information that affects us and our republic for a
change, huh?
Semi connected thought. There are a lot of people who are ticked, TICKED, that the identity of Jack the Ripper might possibly be identified as a very mentally disturbed Jewish immigrant. (Most of them are literary types and ripperologists that I suspect refuse to even consider it because they find the answer to be clunky, racist, and unromantic. Sorry, life is not always like a novel folks. And mental illness affects all races, nationalities, genders; that is just Science.)
One theory is that Scotland Yard figured out it was that guy, but were afraid of the backlash that would ensue, the antisemitic attacks and protests that would rage against innocent Jews if Londoners learned the attacker was Jewish. So they buried the truth, locked the guy up in a madhouse where he later died, and washed their hands of it, pretending that it was unsolved so as to prevent a riot.
It is actually not that far fetched a premise from what we keep seeing from our betters in this administration, and now the CDC. Peasants cannot handle the truth! They would go mad and riot! Must keep them in the dark! That only works as long as they are snookered; once they are onto you and you lose all credibility, you are done. When you are a group like the CDC you need people to believe you and actually follow your guidelines. Who is going to believe a word they say now? Idiots.

Just to be on the safe side, hadn't we better heat the threat areas to a million degrees in milliseconds? Followed by napalm/bacon grease application? Then make the charred rubble bounce to ensure complete combustion?
That'd more sure than detergents, even though the pleomorphic virus fragments are contained within a lipid membrane.

No this is not a strange reaction to one guy who is sick.

Whatever you think you're doing, seeking all available information about possible threats so you can take measured proactive precautions, must therefore be impossible, leaving these remaining possibilities:
A) It's actually a form of panicking, which is going to make people uneasy and want to panic too, so we may have to limit your behavior in order to protect everyone.
B) Whatever you think you're doing is actually impossible so you must in fact be insane, and thus must be committed to a health facility for your own good.
C) Whatever you think you're doing is not a normal human ability, and the fact that your reasoning seems to work despite all its dark alien ineffable inscrutability only proves that you must be in communion with Cthulhu.
