Patient with symptoms of Hemorrhagic fever, possible ebola quarantined in Kentucky hospital

In regard to what may or may not be the cause of the Barbourville ARH ER quarantine involving a Union College student with a hemorraghic fever from earlier today.

We asked Dr. Joshua Kadetzin charge of the case: "Has the virus actually been identified?

Dr. Joshua Kadetz replied:
"No, we are sending blood work with a special hazmat carrier to get tested at the CDC in Atlanta"

its time to shut down all air traffic to africa!

yikes!

Must be a white person.

shit... cause I have to go there next week.



shit.

Patient is confirmed as an exchange student from an undisclosed west african country. Family was in the country through Lexington Airport over the holidays visiting when it is believed he contracted the illness.

we're all gonna die

Just stay out of Kentucky.

Guarantee this has come from an area where they've been testing the ebola vax. It is a live virus vax and can shed... someone was either vaxxed or lived near those who were vaxxed and then came to visit America. Right on schedule, as the ebola vax just got approved after all of those trials in Africa. Where they are now having major ebola outbreaks.

Ebola is spread by touching Nogs...just stay in the white parts of town...

Get the fuck back to the tampon pile!

Isn't this like the 30th or 40th instance of Ebola inside America in the last year? Awww man I am sooooo lovin this cultural enrichment thing.

DEMAND A MORATORIUM ON MIGRATION ASAP!

Not that anyone will listen (least of all Trump).

That should be the headline, but that would be racist.

He had not left the country over winter break, but he did have family members visit him from overseas.

Neither the hospital nor the college believe there is any chance for exposure or spreading of the illness.


how in the heck do they know...if kid didn't leave country but had family members from oversea...
most asinine thing I've ever read. I hope to hell they are contacting those people, finding flight info, where they visited while here, so on.

Bump for updates

Is that similar to the outbreak in China? Did somebody drop a vile??

Up here we call things like that 'a bald-faced lie' and it gets dismantled if possible. If it is from the Gov it just means business as usual.


True, how does that affect the fact that you are a racist?

And yet it possibly already did spread.

I agree, I hope someone is doing something. I really don't want to think little to nothing is being done about reaching out to those who might have come in contact.

And yet... per op’s linked article

”The emergency room at the hospital is still operating normally.“

Better yet, stay away from Africans/minorities.

Racism is a survival tool that white people have... Deal with it.

This should be pinned!!!

A Union College student athlete was quarantined Tuesday at Barbourville ARH Hospital with symptoms of a hemorrhagic fever.

Reports started early Tuesday alleging a Union College student had been diagnosed with a communicable disease, but initially very little information was available concerning the situation. Contact with Barbourville ARH Hospital and the Knox County Health Department didn’t provide immediate answers, and a statement from Union College initially denied the report. But, in a statement sent later Tuesday afternoon, Union College Senior Director of Communications Maisie Nelson said, “Union College was notified by officials at Barbourville ARH that a student is currently in the emergency room under quarantine.

“Our student is undergoing tests to identify a virus. So far, we know that the student did not contract the Ebola virus, as has been speculated by posts on Facebook, and that it is not airborne. Also, I’ve been told that the student did not travel out of the country during the break.”

Kadetz confirmed following his interview that the virus has not yet been identified, and the hospital would be sending bloodwork by a special hazmat carrier to be tested by the CDC in Atlanta.

So they haven’t identified the virus (only btw not Ebola— of course they do not actually know it’s not Ebola as they haven’t tested yet) but he had relatives visit him three weeks ago from west Africa and it seems to be a hemorrhagic fever of some kind.

Also they are still seeing patients in the emergency room he is currently quarantined in

The only way he could have got it was with ANAL injection.

The host animal carries the disease in it's gonads for quite a while after symptoms have passed.

If he got infected from relatives visiting him from
West Africa then they were contagious when they travelled home going through the the airport and on the plane right?

Then

Everyone caught Ebola

I cant believe they come visit knowing they were exposed. This goes back to it being airbourne too. If they spread it by visiting that is airbourne!!

Good point. The incubation length sounds more lasso fever. Ebola takes u down fast.

Or is this manufactured? Remember when t groups said they could contaminate subways or stadiums and it would take days to weeks before anyone knew.
