Breaking NEWS! Meeting Set in Dallas to declare Local State of Disaster !

Back in the early 80s when HIV/AIDS was initially blowing up, the alarm was rung in a similar way, HOWEVER, hardcore news outlets still had a sense of journalistic integrity and didn't "overblow" things to the extent that EVERYTHING is today, keep in mind that that was an era BEFORE the internet, & more importantly, the 24 hour news cycle that has become the norm in today's world, CNN was still a start-up, having begun operation in 1980.

A BIG part of the reason that you're seeing sooo much on the topic is relatively simple, while you actually have more places to see about ANY given subject (internet, networks, cable, newspaper) with ALL on a 24 hour push to provide information, we actually have LESS sources now than ever before, simply because news divisions have been gobbled up by the media giants, i.e. Rupert Murdoch owning Fox, The Wall Street Journal, & the NY Post!

you get it..
 
airline flight crews & passengers sleep in hotels too....

Chartered team plane bruh, I'm not worried about the plane flight as much as I would be worried about coming in contact with someone who had been in contact with ANY Texas Presbyterian hospital workers IN Dallas!!!:yes:
 
Chartered team plane bruh

well you just touched on something else. private flights. don't their passengers taxi straight into hangars so that they can hop into their limos? what is the procedure for checking the temps of those people?

and we will not even get into the shipping industry crews. who takes their temps after they have been out to sea for weeks? I will bet you if someone catches a fever onboard one of those cargo ships, they will end up in the freezer wrapped in plastic for weeks or they might happen to "accidentally fall" overboard on a stormy night so that their crew can make that delivery schedule and get paid.

100% true, but hell, what about peeps catching fevers on cruise ships, would countries still allow them to dock, or do the cruise ship companies try to keep ish under wraps, maybe use jamming technology on EVERYONE'S cell phones?!?:hmm:
 
it is just a "scary African" virus that has never been associated with this part of the planet before. Add 24 hour news cycles, social media frenzy flare ups and increased global travel patterns to the mix and you get the current recipe for panic. the "africanized" killer bees freaked everyone out at one time too. and those bees had NOTHING to do with africa. AIDS was linked to those green monkeys in africa too....they always have to have a scary "dark continent" backstory to drive their agenda.

The funny thing is that Hantavirus does nearly the exact same thing and we have had outbreaks on American soil....granted no widespread outbreaks either...but it still lurks here.

YeA the white devil is back at it.
hes angry cause China setting up railroads
to the motherland
his little bitch ass time is over. He trying to go out with a bang.
China is like America strict twin.
They go stop em in their traps

Ebola Today: Dallas Plans to Declare Emergency Following Ebola Spread

• 8:34 p.m. EST: Dallas to declare citywide disaster. Dallas County Commissioners plan to declare a disaster Thursday over “the potential for widespread or severe damage, injury, loss or threat of life resulting from the Ebola virus,” Dallas’s local NBC affiliate reported. As part of the declaration, the city may restrict travel for health care workers who may have cared for the first Ebola patient.

In the meantime, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, where the initial patient with Ebola was treated, is offering a room at its facilities to any of its employees that want to “avoid even the remote possibility of any potential exposure to family, friends and the broader public,” the hospital said in a public statement.

• 7:43 p.m. EST: The CDC knew. Amber Joy Vinson, the 29-year-old who is the second nurse to test positive for the Ebola virus after caring for the first Ebola-stricken patient in the US, reportedly contacted the Centers for Disease Control before boarding a commercial flight Monday because she was suffering from a fever. Government officials did not advise her not to fly because she did not meet the temperature threshold of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, NBC News reports.

CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden said in a press briefing Wednesday that, in retrospect, Vinson “should not have traveled on a commercial aircraft.”

Dallas leaders prepare to request state disaster declaration

Dallas County leaders are preparing to request a state disaster declaration because of the Ebola crisis.

The commissioners will meet Thursday to request additional state funding and resources.

The cost to the county for the first Ebola patient alone, Thomas Eric Duncan, was more than $1 million.

There have now been three people diagnosed in Dallas.

The latest, 29-year-old Amber Vinson, is a nurse who had extensive contact with Duncan before his death.

She is also the first Dallas patient to be transferred out of state for specialized treatment.

Disaster Declaration Planned for Ebola Fight

Those who cared for Thomas Duncan ordered to restrict travel methods

Wednesday, Oct 15, 2014 • Updated at 11:06 PM CDT

Dallas County Commissioners will hold a special meeting Thursday to declare a disaster over "the potential for widespread or severe damage, injury, loss or threat of life resulting from the Ebola virus."

The declaration could help officials impose new travel restrictions on health care workers who may have cared for the first Dallas Ebola patient, Thomas Eric Duncan.

Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said Dallas County Medical Director Dr. Christopher Perkins will sign a control order that will follow the minimum guidelines outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, blocking those being monitored for Ebola symptoms from using public transportation, including buses and airliners.

It comes after revelations Wednesday that the third Dallas Ebola patient, Amber Vinson, a nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, returned from a trip to Ohio with a slight fever after caring for Duncan, who died at the hospital last week.

Dallas County Considers Declaring State of Disaster From Ebola

By Romy Varghese October 15, 2014

Oct. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Dallas County Commissioners will vote tomorrow to declare a local state of disaster caused by the Ebola virus.

The county “has the potential to suffer widespread or severe damage, injury, loss or threat of life resulting from the Ebola virus,” according to a proposed draft of the declaration.

The county has been preparing contingencies since a Liberian visitor to the U.S. died at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on Oct. 8. Two health-care workers involved with the man’s care have tested positive for the virus.

Approval of the proposed order would implement the county’s emergency management system, according to the declaration.

its crazy when you add the fact that the first "gun" was created in china-- if i haVE MY INFO correct--is it possible that they sat and watch how the euro/cac invaded and instill systematic racism and like some consumer products plan on copying and maybe making said "system " better for them, -- we know theyre not in africa to help africans or are they?

The firearm was originally invented in China during the 10th century AD, after the Chinese invented gunpowder during the 9th century AD. These inventions were later transmitted to the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. The world's first firearm in history was the fire lance, the prototype of the modern gun.

And no. Nobody is in africa to HELP africans.

i did not even notice that it was meredith with the tweet. :eek:

she is an anchor in dallas & not just a beat reporter...and she is really a cool person.

Heffa be every damn where don't she?
 
All it is really is legal action to make anyone who might have been exposed sit their asses down somewhere

Traveling on planes and shit just out and about like nothing is going on :smh:

They downplayed this shit too much really from the jump

Now they seeing it could serious
that nurse was going to plan her wedding. if she's anything like my sisters, NOTHING is more important than planning & having a wedding. nothing.
If only Whenthegoinggetstuff would catch it, the board would be a much better place.
damn. I don't like the dyke troll, but she's paid to say over-the-top BS on here. trolls gotta eat too.
 
that nurse was going to plan her wedding. if she's anything like my sisters, NOTHING is more important than planning & having a wedding. nothing.

That's any woman really

They should've had all these women in court ordered quarantine

Cuz you know they are going to do what they want to do no matter what they were told to do or what's the logical thing to do
 
A state of disaster for two confirmed cases??


Something dont smell right.


And i dont blame that nurse one fucking bit. If she went about her business and routine and caught a flight to be around friends and family im guessing she was pretty sure she was clean. I put this on the CDC and hospital admins for not properly instructing, educating and prepping health care professionals to protect themselves against infection. Im betting the nurse followed ALL rules and protocol to a tee and they are hiding something about this infection from the public.
 
Being involved in reporting the news daily, I run across every piece of content that is going to hit the news, from sports to politics to entertainment to world news, which is normally centered around politics.

As I have become more conscious in my walk, certain key "buzz" words stand out like a sore thumb to me than ever before and the way they are using them in the media covering ebola is nothing short of egregious.

Not that the majority of the board doesn't get it, I just want to make sure that we are on the same page on how these WAW really work. For example:

Epidemic, by definition, is a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time.

Now get this, synonyms are "outbreak," "plague," and "pandemic.":rolleyes:

Okay, now that we have established that, notice how the news never fails to refer to this as an epidemic.

So, let's say it IS an epidemic. What community is it an epidemic in...Africa?

Alright, let's say it's Africa. I know it's minutiae or splitting hairs or fairly innocuous, but Africa is a continent...not a country, a city, or a community. This is HUGE because it continues to show the disrespect for people of color on and from that continent, as if they need no differentiation.

Alright, let's move on. The news has said that a handful of countries on the continent do have it: Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. Now, why can't mainstream news, i.e. white media, let these three countries decide what this disease is locally, before running this fear and smear campaign that is is an EPIMEIC IN AFRICA...IT'S NOT. It is possibly an epidemic in THREE countries on a continent that is 12 MILLION SQUARE MILES!:smh:

Now, that one man traveled from one of the countries struggling with the disease, and two f*cking nurses that had possible direct contact with him have symptoms in a state AS BIG AS TEXAS, it's now an epidemic.

Fam, WATCH HOW THEY USE WORDS TO PROMOTE FEAR!

Yes, we need to know all we can but, this sh!t right here, enterovirus aka D68 is what WE really need to worried about.


A. a mandatory vaccination push.
B. affordable health care act registration drive
C. more funding for experimental drugs/research
D. shutting down the us borders to deter illegal immigration
E. all of the above
Great points and I choose E.
Illegal Immigration....dont forget.
True...

Everything you said is true, your second paragraph was more on point than anything, and that mofo I have in bold owns The Wall Street Journal?!:angry: Totally slipped my mind.:smh: He has too much media power and it didn't just start.

If an individual does not come in direct contact with bodily fluids from said infected individual, then there is nothing to worry about.

The MSM is basically promoting fast death via the slow death that is already being promoted via all media sources that can be eradicated by making daily personal health choices.

I pray to God that this Sister is able to walk away from this fully cured like the other Americans and health care workers who were exposed to it. We are gonna see what the master gameplan is if they let another black person die from this disease.
 
that nurse was going to plan her wedding. if she's anything like my sisters, NOTHING is more important than planning & having a wedding. nothing.

Fuck waiting 21 days to make sure she is in the clear. Fuck family and friends. Fuck people. She has a wedding.

I still can't believe that dumb ass did what she did.
 
words of wisdom!
great post!

Fam, you set it straight in this thread, as well.

I appreciate the love, but I am with Dr. Johnson, we have to teach our people that we ARE at war and no successful war is run without, what...PROPAGANDA!

Liquor stores, title loan, and check cashing spots still run rampant in the community.

We don't own any convenience stores, hair stores, or real estate of any substance in the hood.

Police are still kicking our ass and killing us in the streets.

Black male college athletes are still attending white universities, with supremacist policies while being exploited for financial gain.

NONE OF THIS SHIT HAS STOPPED, but a few thousand people out of 7 billion people have symptoms of ebola and the presses are HOT!

Really, folks, really? Diversion is a muchaf*cka, I tell you!:smh:

the university of Minnesota was forced to pull down a tweet that ebola is airborne.

and now, it's being disclosed that the two infected nurses treated the African patient for 2 days before suiting-up properly.

there's all kinds of shit being said rt now... idk wtf is goings-on!

sent from Max's G-Note III
 
All of this shit is another ploy to attack Obama and is legacy. Yes, the shit is serious, but not an epidemic, and nothing to the level of a state of emergency. When a person in each state has it, then you need to panic.

:smh: Easy for you to say. Say that when some dumb ass flies to your town with the disease and they have to shutdown shit 'just in case' because people 'might have been exposed'(since they aren't 100 percent for sure about transmission).

It isn't even about panicking. It's about people being fucking competent and those who might have been exposed using some fucking common sense.
 
WHO just came out with revised incubation numbers.

It's 21 days for 95% of confirmed cases, and 5% could go up to 42 days before showing symptoms.


http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/ebola-who-cites-cases-longer-incubation-period-42-days-1470326

Interesting. I wonder if those airline workers are now going to get 42 days of paid leave. I wonder if those kids will be kept out of school for 42 days now instead of 21. We also have workers from the Cleveland Clinic and Metro Health on paid 21-day leave.

People definitely don't want to get sued behind not following this report. Lawyers are waiting to pounce. If you are in charge, you definitely have to think about the litigious society we live in.

Great post indeed!!!

100% TRUTH about reporting Africa as if it's a singular country & NOT a vast continent containing 47 different countries, even the 3 countries affected would be similar to to reporting things happening here in 3 states, NO reporter would ever go to press saying that tornadoes have touched down in America, they would specifically state Oklahoma, Kansas & Nebraska, or they wouldn't be reporting again!!!:hmm:

Even now, the enterovirus has hit & is increasing in more than 12 states, yet it is NEVER described as "infecting the United States!" :smh:
 
It's simply a failure on the CDC' part.

100%

If they actually cared.. 1st medical professionals would have everything they needed in order to try and treat patients while remaining safe

ANY TYPE OF FEVER would have been cause for concern if they cared at all. it's not 100.4 it's just 99.4 like it can't rise 1 fucking degree? Anything close= take precautions if they actually were competent.


We're just seeing where all that money is going to. Those dude's just know how to create the viruses and shit they don't know how to do shit to stop them here in America it seems.

It's like dumb and dumber out here. CDC. Hospital administrators. People traveling after direct contact(going back to Duncan).

If this all happened at once in a movie, you'd call bullshit. Imagine the plot with the dumb ass nurse and the CDC. First the dumb ass gets on the plane to Cleveland to begin with, then some dumb ass of equal or greater valuer at the CDC tells her it's cool to catch the return flight.

Yeah, it could go that way. But they're probably legally covered on the 21 day quarantine as long as the CDC, Health and Human Services, and states dept. of health don't officially change their prerequisites.

Those ass clowns had better step up their game. Who revised the new incubation numbers 2 days ago.
