Why
Hasn't Hawaii Suspect By Patricia Doyle
|
| Hello, Jeff - A question. The Hawaiian patient has
not even been tested yet. Why? We hear about all of these extra
costly measures being taken due to an "abundance of caution" but a simple
test, I assume is a blood test for Ebola, is not taken? Is it cheaper
to keep someone in hospital 21 days? This makes no sense to me. Why not eliminate any questions on the patient having Ebola. We know that the patient has some of the risk factors, just came from W Africa, fever etc. They were indicating that the patient was a suspect case so why no Ebola test. Does this make any sense to you? Are we suddenly pinching pennies? New York is probably next and that worries me. The area of Liberian, Senegalese, Sierra Leon and Guinea residents is huge in a small crowded community of the Bronx and Brooklyn. Some of the buildings in the community are set up with multi families living in one small crowded apartment. Many of the old time apartments around Hunts Point and Boston Post Road near 149 st have burned down, some of those were illegal apartments made into several some with no bathrooms. Many areas of upper Manhattan still have several family apartments with one shared bathroom. Not the ideal with an Ebola case. I am told that in some of these apartment buildings the smell of vomit, urine, and urine permeates the halls and stairwells Some of the stairwells have all types of bodily fluids. NYC would be a really bad place for an Ebola case. ....and if the hospital bungles and/or the patient lies or not forthcoming about his history of Ebola exposure, we could see West Point Monrovia in the Bronx. NY State is the most woefully unprepared in the nation and it has an immense W African population. Amadou Diallo was from W Africa and lived in the area around the south Bronx, Not that far from Mayflower Ave. NY state, with such a large population of illegal W Africans needs to be prepared. Hospitals should be on the look out for cases. They need to consider every W African who walks into the ER as having Ebola. Racial profiling? Maybe but it is necessary to protect the W Africans and the Americans. Unfortunately, the W Africans in the Bronx are very very suspicious of police, firemen EMTs and doctors. Many or most are illegal and they avoid doctors and hospitals. They also are traditional African and do practice Vodun and other traditional African religions like Macumba, Candomble, Umbanda and Santeria. They are the posterity of the Youruba people. These religions are, indeed practiced in the Bronx and Brooklyn. Therefore, an illegal W African would probably first go to one of the "priests" in one of the above religions who would advise him or her to not go to hospital but to make money offerings to whichever God heals. The priest gets the money and the community and beyond gets the Ebola. NY especially the Bronx and Brooklyn are now third world. West Point, Monrovia. If it arises here, an outbreak is certain, I mean thousands. Jeff, I haven't the slightest doubt that right now, someone is in the Bronx and is incubating Ebola. We probably won't hear of that case as the patient will die quietly. However he or she will cause several more deaths and then, sooner or later, word will get out. By that time the hospitals will be on the look out for Ebola. So, to contain an outbreak., as the CDC promises immediately, we would have to have some things happen. 1. a bit of education on the part of the patient. A patient would have to go immediately to the hospital and tell them the truth about coming from W Africa. Also telling the ER doc that he or she may have been exposed to Ebola. If this does not happen and we have someone ignorant and distrustful of his new adopted country, well, the CDC won't stop an outbreak in the US. Remember how we heard so much about how Ebola would never be an outbreak in the US. Well, if you have an ignorant superstitious index case who runs to a witch doctor and not a doctor or runs to a community medicine man you will have an outbreak. Sooner or later the outbreak will break out of the W African community into the general public at large. I am sure that patient NY 0 will have a spouse, or someone working outside the community probably in Manhattan. So from Manhattan it will spread to NJ, LI, even Plum Island would not stop this. Upstate NY. Many people in my area work in Manhattan. I would sure hope that any Ebola infected person or close contact like a spouse would not be working in the food or health care industry. That would spell instant outbreak with cases that could NEVER be traced. i.e Not the way the CDC does it, politically correct style. A photo would have to be circulated in all news papers and the question, did you eat where this man or woman works? If so, contact the CDC immediately. However, that will never be done. So, my prognosis for the US and outbreak, HIGH RISK, PROBABLE RISK/ A larger outbreak likely before Christmas. Also wait until the troops come home from building the field hospitals. Add them to the list. They will come home with many infections, especially Malaria, TB etc etc. and yes Ebola. Slipping and sliding to third-worlism. Patty |
