Globe Mixes Ebola With My Coffee

I will have to start making my own.

"Ebola worry curtails student travel plans; Some colleges cancel programs in Africa; others proceed cautiously" by Oliver Ortega | Globe Correspondent   August 12, 2014

More than 1,000 people in West Africa have died from Ebola in recent months, and last Friday, the World Health Organization declared an international public health emergency.

The worst Ebola outbreak in history has emerged as US universities prepare to dispatch students for study abroad during the fall semester.

*************

Since arriving last week,  Cindy Emefa Coffee has driven up and down the country, through cities and the countryside, carrying a supply of hand sanitizer and aerosol disinfectants everywhere she goes, even though Ebola is spread by close personal contact and does not travel through the air. She avoids public transportation to lessen contact with other people.

And under no circumstances does she eat bush meat — food made from the remains of monkeys, bats, and rats that is popular in parts of the region and possibly responsible for transmitting Ebola from animals to humans.

“My parents said, ‘As long as you don’t eat this meat, you should be fine,’ ” Coffee said. 

That, to me, sounds as ridiculous as a monkey bite causing AIDS. When you look at what these viruses do they have the pathology of a lab creation -- and there just happen to be war research facilities sprinkled through the region. Imagine that. I know the paper won't tell you that, but that is not their job. Their job is to push an agenda for a certain $et of intere$ts.

Though no Ebola cases have been reported in Ghana, tucked in the middle of coastal West Africa, the nation is only hours away from countries hit by the virulent disease.

Ghanaian authorities have recently blocked flights and restricted immigration in an effort to prevent the arrival of the disease in the country of 25 million people.

Meanwhile, Obummer flung our borders wide open. That coverage has gone away. Got what they wanted, now time to move another piece of the agenda-pushing puzzle.

Donna A. Patterson, a professor of African studies at Wellesley University specializing in health issues and Coffee’s adviser, said people were right to have concerns about Ebola spreading to Ghana.

“They’re legitimate because the borders are so porous, and people can continue to move.” she said.

To the west, Ivory Coast (Côte d’Ivoire) buffers Ghana from Ebola-stricken Guinea and Liberia, two countries where more than 1,000 people have been infected, more than 600 fatally, according to the World Health Organization.

Interesting, huh?

To the east, Nigeria is two countries over from Ghana, but its biggest city is only a six-hour car trip away. A small cluster of cases has been reported in Lagos. 

I hope those kidnapped girls in Nigeria that have been forgotten because it was all a staged and scripted farce don't catch Ebola.

The outbreaks began in March but spread rapidly last month. Underscoring the danger of the disease and the urgency of global efforts to stop its spread, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raised its alert for Ebola to the highest level Thursday. This after they brought those patients back (also forgotten, yesterdays props).

Coffee’s work may involve coming into proximity with human waste that contains bodily fluids, through which Ebola is spread.

The researcher says she will be on guard, even as she continues to help the region in her own way.

Martial law slated for 2015 after the kids all return?

I can't figure out whether this is another $wine flu $windle (about due), a plan to impose martial law by Obama, the genocidal endgame of useless eaters and such, or all three.

At least Vermont is on guard in Senegal

And look jwho was in isolation in New York:

"US missionaries doing work with Ebola to face quarantine" Associated Press   August 11, 2014

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In New York, a 27-year-old man who tested negative for the deadly Ebola virus said the experience of being quarantined at a New York City hospital until he was medically cleared was ‘‘surreal.’’

Eric Silverman told the Daily News: ‘‘Even my friends didn’t believe me when I told them I was the mystery patient. They thought I was joking.’’

Silverman, who is starting graduate school at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, said he had been in Sierra Leone for four months on agricultural and construction projects and had come home in mid-July.

Silverman said he didn’t know it at the time, but he had been in a part of the country where Ebola cases had been found.

A couple of weeks later, he came down with a high fever. His family doctor told him to get to the hospital and notified medical officials of his recent travels in Africa.

Silverman said he told his mother as they went to the hospital, ‘‘Don’t mention the ‘E-word’ in the cab, or else we’re never going to make it up there.’’

He was placed in isolation at Mount Sinai Health System.

‘‘Only when I woke up on Monday [Aug. 4] and they wouldn’t let me out of the room, I knew something was wrong,’’ Silverman said. ‘‘I saw people wearing these spacesuits and I realized they couldn’t rule out Ebola.’’

Doctors didn’t think it was likely that he had Ebola, but tested him and kept him quarantined as a precaution until the test results came back showing he didn’t have it.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said six people in the United States have been tested for Ebola since the West African outbreak erupted this year and all results were negative.

From what I see and hear outside of the Globe is the cases are being underreported with some out there raising the Jewish genocide plot based on race. Looks like Silverman had immunity.
