:(:( Not good. They mention suspending classes, but I wonder about the people on the plane. Then again, I have heard that it is not an air borne virus.

Ebola is nothing to mess around with, travel restrictions should have been in place to and from the affected areas long ago.

At least four ebola patients have now been shipped out of africa to different parts of the world including two to the US. This is insane when they could have flown the experimental drugs and equipment to them.

And now it pops up in Mex. and everyone who has been in contact with the victim is a possible carrier. I hope the story turns out to be false.



We're screwed

So some poor soul has ebola. I've got an idea! We'll put 'em on a plane and spread it around a tad. No sense in being stingy with a disease that has a high percentage of fatalities, at this point is incurable,and has possibly gone airborne. Jeez!

I believe he was an international healthcare worker as were the two US victims. They, however, were brought to cutting-edge care in the US and will survive. This man has been transferred to Mexico City.

I'm searching online for further information about this case in Mexico and will share if I find anything.

refutes initial report as false


from Excélsior Especiales, translated:

August 7, 2014 9:49
MEXICO CITY, July August.- The Health Ministry denied that Ebola has reached Mexico, after this news to be disseminated in various portals in the north.

On Wednesday evening the news spread about a suspected case of Ebola in the country.

The spokesman for the theme of Ebola in Mexico, Dr. Ruiz Matus Cuitláhuac, Director General of Epidemiology, Federal Health Ministry, reaffirmed that there is no case in Mexico.

It was reported that yesterday afternoon, news spread about an alleged case of Ebola in Mexico, specifically a student in Mexico City.

The note was taken up through social networks and by various means, so immediately, the news turned out to be false were investigated.

With NOTIMEX information.

Next thing you know, somebody is going to call it 'God's Curse' like AIDS first was. Proven fact, it is not an airborne virus, one must have direct contact with sera. Bad? Yes. There's a much worse virus affecting the world today, and it's communicable through the phone, TV and internet. It's called Ignorance and Fear; together has displaced and killed thousands.

I think the CDC has a handle on what they're doing right now.

Is that the same CDC that lost the anthrax?

wonderful news that it is false.

restrictions really should be in place - this disease has to be limited since it is so dangerous.

This is a direct quote from this article:

"Ebola is spread only through direct contact with the bodily fluids of people showing symptoms which include a fever, body aches and vomiting and progresses to internal and external bleeding."

Tonight's news from Guadalajara


reports all in-coming flights from overseas are routed through Mexico City where there are stringent checks for any person with signs of illness.

In other words, regular world-wide screening proceedures are in place and implimented at the airport in Mexico City.

Newest on the presses this morning. Like the AIDS epidemic (which is still going strong in Africa) there is progress being made, and i'm sure there will be setbacks and mistakes, but if we turn off Rush and Glenn and listen to reason, somehow I think we'll survive this, and gain advantage. Necessity IS the mother of invention.
