They're working on it.

That estimate of this person being in contact with up to 15 has been raised to 80 now.

Quote:
NBC has confirmed with the Dallas county health and human services that 80 people came into contact with the Dallas Ebola patient or his family.

Director Zachary Thompson said these 80 people were not in close contact, but they did have some kind of contact with or exposure to the patient.

Separately, Texas health officials have ordered four family members who had contact with the Dallas Ebola patient to stay home and not have visitors to prevent the potential spread of disease.

The order, hand delivered to Thomas Eric Duncan's relatives Wednesday night by Texas Department of Health Services officials, legally requires the family to comply until at least Oct. 19, when the incubation period has passed and the family is no longer at risk of having the disease.

Do not fear the U.S. is days away from settling the critical question of how hospitals should handle and dispose of medical waste from Ebola patients.

The United States is days away from settling the critical question of how hospitals should handle and dispose of medical waste from Ebola patients, a government official said on Wednesday.

Experts have warned that conflicting U.S. regulations over how such waste should be transported could make it very difficult for U.S. hospitals to safely care for patients with Ebola, a messy disease that causes diarrhea, vomiting and in some cases, bleeding from the eyes and ears.

Safely handling such waste presents a dual challenge for regulators, who want to both prevent the accidental spread of the deadly disease and avert any deliberate attempts to use it as a bioweapon.

Most U.S. hospitals are not equipped with incinerators or large sterilizers called autoclaves that could accommodate the large amounts of soiled linens, contaminated syringes and virus-spattered protective gear generated from the care of an Ebola patient, said Dr. Jeffrey Duchin, chair of the Infectious Diseases Society of America's Public Health Committee.

Sterilizing Ebola waste before it is transported is important not only to protect waste haulers but to guard against someone using the waste "for nefarious purposes," said Sean Kaufman, ā€ˇpresident of Behavioral-Based Improvement Solutions, an Atlanta-based biosafety firm. "It's not just a safety issue," he said.

I'm somewhat surprised that they're keeping the exposed families in their homes. It just doesn't seem like much of a quarantine to me.

This is going to sound really irrational and bad, but I hope the guy who brought it to the U.S dies a slow and horrible death.

Bet those families who are quarantined because of him are absolutely terrified right now, I can only imagine.

I doubt that he brought it in intentionally, and he certainly won't be the only one to do so. This is more of a systemic failure rather than the fault of an individual. Airport security protocols should have red-flagged him since he came from an Ebola-ravaged region. The hospital should have responded swiftly when he told them where he'd just come from. Instead, everyone failed but him.

After reading that they transferred specimens to Austin, the cinematic scenario of some evil mastermind, Hell bent on death and destruction (probably Nik), high-jacking the transport truck played out in my head. Operation: Contaminate All HEBs underway!

Or you know, someone simply loses it like a goober.

Either way, WE'RE DOOMED! DOOOOOOOOOOOMED!

News report said he tried to help a pregnant women who had ebola and later died of it. Sorry, but he had some idea.

Yes, which is why he went to be checked, but the hospital sent him home. It's not like he was rubbing his hands together thinking "who can I infect today?"

If anyone believes what the CDC or other government officials / hospitals are saying regarding the facts about this ***, they are fools. 80 people is likely bogus, just like the 14 number was bogus yesterday.

This is going to be presented in full force as a "nothing to see here" event, and it's ***.

What I find amazing is that in a few days they may have a solution as to what to do with the medical waste from Ebola patients. Like what have they been doing with it up until whenever they agree on a solution?

There are degrees of contact.

12-18 had direct contact.

Up to 100 had potential or possible contact.

This is not the first outbreak of Ebola in the world. Countries have been able to contain and stop previous outbreaks. I would hope that a country with resources far outstriping, for example, DRC could contain this outbreak.

I just keep thinking about how disgusting people are in public facilities. :/ How much Clorox wipes and Purell do I have to buy now?!? Time to bulk up at Sams or Costco.

/gags and convulses

Don't get me started on just how disgusting people are.

You know what direct contact is?

Within 3 feet of someone.

If you believe direct contact is something more difficult than that to encounter, you're a sheep.

the fear mongering is real.

my daughter was telling me last night to wash my hands, & she doesn't want any of us getting ebola, naming the family off one at a time, all dramatically.

I'm a terrible father, I laughed, said it was all fine, told her to wash her butt, & turned out the light for her to go to sleep.

I'm really just not concerned with much these days.

Ok so if you were a person in an African, Ebola-sacked nation, and you were smart enough to know that being around the disease = your probably gonna get it. You're also smart enough to know that if you get it, the best chance of survival was to get to the free healthcare of the united states. You also know that the US is dumb enough to not screen incoming flights from those nations (with any degree of scrutiny), how many people do you think are coming here right now, or have already gotten off a plane in the last week?
