Why wouldn't they? They created it.
"White House says US is prepared to stop spread of Ebola" by Manny Fernandez and Michael D. Shear | New York Times October 04, 2014
DALLAS — Health officials Friday narrowed down to 10 the number of people considered most at risk of contracting Ebola after coming into contact with an infected Liberian man. They also moved the four people who had shared an apartment with the man from their potentially contaminated quarters, as local and federal officials tried to assure the public that the disease was contained despite initial missteps here.
A real crisis and you guys f*** it up, while all the self-created "terrorists," nonexistent global warming (didn't make my Globe, but did see the snow report on The Weather Channel), and all the other garbage is booga-booga at us. F*** you!!!!!!
The four people, a girlfriend of Thomas E. Duncan, the Liberian who is the first person in the United States to develop symptoms of Ebola, and three of her relatives had been under orders not to leave their home, and Texas officials apologized to them for not moving faster to have the apartment cleaned of potentially infectious materials.
When do the American people get a goddamn apology?!!!!!!!
The cleanup began Friday afternoon, more than a week after Duncan first went to the hospital but was sent home because information about his travels from Liberia was not properly relayed. Workers in yellow protective suits scoured the apartment, whose entryway and balcony were covered with a black tarp.
Quarantining houses, huh?
“I want to see them treated as I would want my own family treated,” said county Judge Clay Jenkins, the top elected official of Dallas County, who visited the family inside the apartment Thursday night. The four were in quarantine Friday at a private residence.

"White House Says United States Is Prepared to Stop Spread of Ebola" New York Times | October 3, 2014 | By MICHAEL D. SHEAR
White House officials on Friday vowed to prevent the spread of Ebola in the United States and to eventually halt its ability to ravage parts of West Africa. They urged calm and said the arrival of the first Ebola case in the United States should not cause excessive concern.
Thus, I AM VERY CONCERNED!!
But the officials did not announce any new initiatives inside the United States to respond to concerns about the sometimes chaotic response by health and hospital officials to the Dallas case of Thomas E. Duncan, the Liberian man whose Ebola infection was diagnosed this week.
“The United States has the most capable health infrastructure and the most capable doctors in the world, bar none,” said Lisa O. Monaco, President Obama’s chief homeland security adviser.
Hubris always comes before a fall.
“The United States is prepared to deal with this crisis, both at home and in the region,” Ms. Monaco told reporters in an afternoon briefing at the White House. “Every Ebola outbreak in the past 40 years has been stopped. We know how to do this and we will do it again.”

So say the nurses.
Going to have to go with the reedited, rewritten, official update again.
In Washington on Friday, while military officials revealed the Army would more than double the number of soldiers it is sending to west Africa to help contain the Ebola virus there, senior White House officials tried to play down the problems in the handling of the Ebola case in Dallas.
Oh, more soldiers to Africa, huh?
See: Ebola Obama's Excuse to Occupy Africa
Yeah, seems pretty clear that's one reason for this massive agenda push in my paper.
They insisted that the public health system in the United States was working effectively and would prevent an epidemic of the deadly virus from taking root in this country.
Oh, that makes me feel much better, thank you.
White House aides defended the administration’s response to the disease, saying the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had been working closely for months with state health officials, doctors, and hospitals.
So this really has been a planned release, hasn't it?
Around the country, anxiety spread quickly Friday as two hospitals in the Washington area each reported a possible case of Ebola (one later tested negative), and an activist working in Liberia prepared to return to the United States after being told he had the virus.
Besides the 10 people considered most at risk in Dallas, another 40 people are being monitored daily in the city but are considered at relatively low risk, officials said. No one has developed symptoms of the disease. The first signs of the illness often appear within eight to 10 days, but can take as long as 21 days.
You know, the cold and flu season is also coming up.
The misstep at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, where Duncan is being treated in serious condition, was followed by the acknowledgment Thursday that the apartment where he had stayed with a friend, Louise Troh, as well as three of her relatives, had not been sanitized, with the sheets and towels that he had used while vomiting still there.
As if that somehow makes the initial knee-jerk of a CYOA cover-up all better.
The hospital released a statement late Thursday essentially blaming a flaw in its electronic health records system for its decision to send Duncan home the first time he visited its emergency room, saying there were separate “work flows” for physicians and nurses in the records so that doctors did not receive the information he had come from Africa.
Oh, GREAT! That's a CORE TENANT of OBUMMERCARE!!
They promised to change the system and said it was also being “modified” to specifically refer to the Ebola-endemic regions in Africa.
Yeah, all right, yup, uh-huh, sure, okay.
SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
But some health policy experts said it was not the only lapse that needed to be examined.
What?
Dr. Ashish Jha, a professor at Harvard University’s School of Public Health, said there appeared to be “literally multiple failures” that led to Duncan’s release Sept. 25, only to be hospitalized three days later when his symptoms worsened. Among them, he said, are that the nurse who learned Duncan had just come from Liberia failed to tell a doctor directly.
All the money spent in the $y$tem and it is still a colossal failure when we need it most.
“In a well-functioning emergency department, doctors and nurses talk to each other,” Jha said. “Also, why didn’t the physician think to ask the question separately? Anyone who comes in with a febrile illness, a travel history, that’s a fundamental part of understanding what might be going on.”
White House officials acknowledged the public’s growing nervousness but said Americans had little to worry about.
That means there is a lot to worry about because this government screams fear about false flag threats and self-created, staged and scripted productions meant to advance the agenda.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said he was convinced that “the system that’s in place, with our health care infrastructure, would make it extraordinarily unlikely that we would have an outbreak.”
If you saw my last test you know I don't believe a word from Fauci the fabricator.
Will they tell us if there is one or just omit reference to and coverage of it?
In a briefing with reporters Friday, Rear Admiral John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said the total US military presence in west Africa could rise to as high as 4,000.
And more to be added as needed for planned world conquest.

Is there an institution in this f***ing country that doesn't tell a f***ing lie right out of the blocks?!!!!!!!!
And apparently, "images from Monrovia, Liberia and Dallas in the last few days have raised new questions about the adequacy of the American effort on both continents. In Liberia, the help Mr. Obama promised several weeks ago has been slow to arrive, and logistical glitches have prevented the United States military from being able to quickly set up the hospitals and treatment centers needed to halt the virus," while there will be "no travel ban or screening of passengers arriving from West Africa?"
This is starting to stink as if this government wants an epidemic but wants you to stay calm about it and still go shopping and do holiday travel!
And listen to the excuses. Since when has the U.S military encountered glitches? Not when fighting ISIS or Al Qaeda or dropping a missile on terrorist or whatever other things for which they claimed credit.

"R.I. journalist headed to Nebraska for Ebola treatment" by Felice J. Freyer | Globe Staff October 03, 2014
PROVIDENCE — Dr. Mitchell Levy's son, Ashoka Mukpo, would become the fifth American infected with the disease while working in the heart of the worst Ebola outbreak in history.
Mukpo, 33, a writer and human rights worker, had been in Liberia since early September, documenting the Ebola epidemic with a newly purchased video camera. He had just been hired as a cameraman for NBC.
So he is the guy I saw on blogs yesterday, and according to him, “people die in the streets” over there.
*********************
Levy spent a long night on the phone with his frightened son. “We had some very tender conversations,” he said....
We all are because this is something worth being frightened about.
My government is calling for calm. How can you not be alarmed?
Mukpo remained Friday in Monrovia with the aid group Doctors Without Borders and is scheduled to fly out Sunday night, bound for the Nebraska Medical Center. He will be cared for there by the same 40-person team that looked after Dr. Rick Sacra, the missionary physician from Holden, Mass., who became infected with Ebola in Liberia and returned home last week, disease-free.
See: Sacra’s Saga
“I think he’s going to be fine,” Levy said of his son. “He’s going to get the right care.”
Levy is encouraged because Mukpo is in the early stages of his illness, before the devastating vomiting and diarrhea sets in, and should be in Nebraska before those symptoms arise....
Why is the hemorrhaging from every orifice being omitted from the stories?
The 10-bed biocontainment unit at the Nebraska Medical Center is readying for its next patient, just a little over a week after discharging the first.
**********************
Mukpo, who grew up in Providence, has spent most of his life studying foreign affairs, working with human rights organizations, and writing articles about those issues. Most recently, he was a researcher with a Liberian nongovernmental organization concerned with worker’s rights and fair practices in extracting natural resources. After two years in Liberia, he returned to Providence in June to consider his next career moves, his mother said.
I hate to say it, but I'm sensing spy.
As the Ebola epidemic escalated, Mukpo decided he could best help by documenting what was happening, from the point of view of someone familiar with the culture, Levy said. “He wanted to go and make a difference and write about it,” he said. Mukpo bought a video camera and left for Liberia on Sept. 3.
In a Facebook post Sept. 18, Mukpo wrote, “man oh man i have seen some bad things in the last two weeks of my life. . . . the raw coldness of deprivation and the potential for true darkness that exists in the human experience.”
His parents don’t know how he became infected. “He was filming in the clinics, and he was filming outside the clinics where people went to die,” Levy said. But his mother said he took precautions.
Mukpo has colorful origins. As an infant, he was identified by a religious leader as a reincarnated Tibetan spiritual leader, Diana Mukpo said. “I don’t think that’s a very important thing to him,” she told the Globe. “Basically, Ashoka’s motivation is to be of help and service to others.”
According to published interviews and documentaries quoted by the Associated Press, Diana Mukpo and Levy met in Colorado, united by their shared Buddhist faith. The couple married, eventually settling in Providence.
Levy a Buddhist?
Mukpo was in seventh grade at the time. He attended the Moses Brown School, a private Quaker school in Providence, for junior and senior high school and studied political science at Georgetown University. He worked at Human Rights Watch in New York before pursuing graduate studies at Columbia University and the London School of Economics, his mother said.
That's the giveaway.
“As a family, we’re very concerned,” said Diana Mukpo, who has four other children and a stepson. “We’re also very proud of him. He put his desire to help people ahead of his own safety.”
Unlike our fearless war-criminal leaders.

"Mass. health officials reassure public on Ebola" by Carolyn Y. Johnson | Globe Staff October 03, 2014
Massachusetts public health officials are holding daily meetings to review protocols and prepare for the possibility that the deadly Ebola virus ravaging west Africa could arrive in the state, authorities said Friday.
Meaning it is already here. I'm sure someone from West Africa has flown into Logan recently.
There have been no Ebola cases in Massachusetts.
So we are told.
Hospitals and health care facilities have been encouraged to be vigilant and report any illness that might be Ebola, health officials said.
Any cases raising concerns so far have been rapidly ruled out because it turned out the patient had not traveled to a region where they could have been exposed to the virus or because they had no symptoms of Ebola. No one in the state has been tested for the virus, according to Dr. Alfred DeMaria, the state epidemiologist.
Preparations for a possible case of Ebola began this spring, when the outbreak emerged in Guinea. But hospitals and health officials have intensified their vigilance recently. Public concern about the virus soared this week, when the first case of Ebola in the United States was reported in Dallas, where a man who recently traveled from Liberia is being treated.
“Ebola is a scary disease; it causes a severe disease and it’s natural that people would be frightened. But it’s scary not because it’s easily transmitted or readily transmitted,” DeMaria said. “Unfortunately, because of the circumstances, we’re learning more about Ebola and what we’re learning does not change our perception that it is difficult to transmit unless you’re under difficult circumstances, without even a modicum of infection control.”
WHY are they PLAYING DOWN the TRANSMISSION?
Those infection control practices are the focus of preparations, which are designed to ensure that if the virus does appear, it will not spread.
Can you guarantee that?
On Friday, state Department of Public Health leaders held a conference call with about 250 representatives from facilities across the state, making sure that correct procedures are in place and that hospitals are familiar with federal guidance on handling potential cases.
Within days a case will be confirmed here.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have provided a checklist to aid officials in rapidly isolating suspected Ebola cases. Screening for the disease is triggered if a patient has a fever and has traveled to a country with an Ebola outbreak. That is done, in part, to avoid having a potentially infectious patient sitting in a waiting room with other people.
They don't have to have traveled there. It's IN THE U.S. NOW!
“We went over that with our health facilities. We’ve been sending regular guidance out,’’ said Cheryl Bartlett, public health commissioner. She added that commissioners from other states are having conference calls among themselves.
Bartlett said one topic in those discussions was the breakdown in procedures in Texas that resulted in the Ebola-infected patient’s travel history not being communicated to the medical team before he was initially discharged.
“That’s a lesson learned for all of us,” Bartlett said.
Could be a very, very fatal lesson for many!
How callously casual is AmeriKan authority about others' lives, 'eh?!!?
People traveling from Ebola-stricken countries are not allowed on flights if they have a fever or other sign of sickness. A protocol has also been put in place so that if a Boston-bound passenger becomes sick in transit, the plane will be met at Logan Airport with an emergency medical team.
What if they have already gone through and are in the city sick?
--more--"
Likely already here, just not known or being officially reported yet.
Is this the mass martial law that has been long predicted coming in the form of an Ebola epidemic? Sure smells like it.
Whatever you do, don't get an abortion in Texas.

"Officials say only one US case of Ebola has been confirmed" by Manny Fernandez and Robert Pear | New York Times October 05, 2014
DALLAS — Amid widening public awareness of Ebola across the United States, federal health officials said Saturday that they had assessed more than 100 possible cases of the disease in recent weeks. But they have confirmed only one, in a Liberian man in Dallas, the first Ebola case diagnosed in this country.
Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters Saturday that the Dallas case, as well as the spreading outbreak in West Africa, had increased attention about the virus among both the public and health workers.
“We have already gotten well over 100 inquiries of possible patients,” Frieden said. “We’ve assessed every one of those with local health departments and hospitals. And just this one patient has tested positive.’’
“We expect that we will see more rumors, or concerns, or possibilities of cases,’’ he said. “Until there is a positive laboratory test, that is what they are — rumors and concerns.”
Yeah, until you get official word from this lying government it's just one person.
In addition to doing their own testing of these suspected cases, federal officials have helped more than a dozen laboratories around the United States do Ebola testing.
One of those cases took place at Howard University Hospital in Washington, which issued a statement on Saturday saying that, after working with the District of Columbia Health Department and the federal, disease centers, it had ruled out Ebola in a patient.
The patient, who had traveled to Nigeria, had been placed in isolation “in an abundance of caution,” according to a prepared statement by the university’s president, Dr. Wayne Frederick.
In New Haven, two Yale University graduate students plan to voluntarily sequester themselves when they return this weekend from Liberia, where they had helped the government develop a system to track the Ebola epidemic.
And at Newark Liberty International Airport on Saturday, a sick man who had just arrived from Brussels was rushed to a hospital amid suspicions that he was showing Ebola-like symptoms.
Why are p[lanes from that area even being allowed to fly in?
In the one confirmed case, the Obama administration said Saturday that it had issued an emergency permit allowing an Illinois company to transport large quantities of potentially Ebola-contaminated material from the apartment where the infected Liberian man had stayed, as well as from the hospital where he is being treated, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.
The permit ends days of delays in disposing of the waste.
Yeah, what's up with that?
The Dallas hospital that is caring for the patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, said Saturday that he is in critical condition, the Associated Press reported. The hospital previously said Duncan’s condition was serious but stable.
That's why I'm not really bothering much with the newspaper at all anymore. It's all official lies.
Duncan traveled from disease-ravaged Liberia to Dallas last month before he began showing symptoms of the disease.
He was treated and released from the hospital before returning two days later in an ambulance and being diagnosed with Ebola.
Health officials said Saturday that they were monitoring about 50 people for signs of the deadly disease who may have had contact with Duncan, including nine who are believed to be at a higher risk. Thus far none have shown symptoms.
Among those being monitored are people who rode in the ambulance that transported Duncan back to the hospital before his diagnosis, Frieden said.
On Friday, a hazardous-materials crew decontaminated the Dallas apartment where Duncan was staying when he got sick during his visit. The family who lived there was moved to a private home in a gated community, where they are being carefully monitored.
The decontamination team collected bed sheets, towels, and a mattress used by Duncan before he was hospitalized, as well as a suitcase and other personal items of his, officials said.
The worst Ebola outbreak in history has swept through Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, and has stretched into Nigeria and Senegal. Nearly 7,500 people are believed to have been sickened by the disease and more than 3,400 have died, according to the World Health Organization.
Liberia has been hardest hit, with more than 3,800 cases and slightly more than 2,000 deaths. But even those ghastly numbers probably underestimate the scope of the disaster and the true toll may never be known.
The first Ebola diagnosis in the United States has raised concerns about whether the disease could spread here.
Federal health officials say they are confident they can keep it in check by screening people traveling from the affected countries.
Stay away from airports!
The virus that causes Ebola is not airborne and can be spread only through contact with bodily fluids — blood, sweat, vomit, feces, urine, saliva, or semen — of a person who is showing symptoms.
Except I have heard it is airborne and can survive for days on surfaces and such.
But hey, what is one more lie coming from a media full of them every single day?
Duncan arrived in Dallas on Sept. 20 and fell ill a few days later.
