Outbreak Jitters: How Can We Trust the CDC on Ebola?
By Maggie Fox

"We will stop Ebola in its tracks in the U.S.,” Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, says confidently, over and over. But how can we be sure?

Many Americans are mistrustful. “Sorry I am not confident in their confidence that it won't spread... that is what they told us when they brought the 3 infected folks here... it will spread it is just a matter of how fast,” Wendy Head-Chapman writes on NBC News Health's Facebook page. “Government can’t be trusted,” chimes in Janet Calderone McElroy.

But the CDC knows it does not pay to lie to people about disease, says Dr. Tom Inglesby, director of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s Center for Health Security, a think-tank dedicated to health threats.

“They know it would be a terrible mistake for the institution, a terrible strategy, and they just won’t do it,” Inglesby told NBC News. “People are learning what is known by the CDC when the CDC learns it.”

[[ Outbreak Jitters: How Can We Trust the CDC on Ebola? ]]

Consider the administration that's running CDC.

Would you put all your trust in it ??

"If you like your CDC, you can keep your CDC."  "Mine will be the most transparent administration, ever."

This government needs to prepare itself for massive epidemics. That means increasing stored food supplies, food deliveries and stockpiling fuel . The UK has a great disaster management system from terrorist attack to nuclear attack scenarios.

CDC Director Contradicts Himself Live over How Ebola Is Spread

Why are they smiling so much, anyway?

CDC officials have told us the outbreak of Ebola on American soil — the first ever Ebola patient diagnosed outside of Africa is here — but don’t worry, they have everything under control.

They have continually reassured the public that they have complete confidence in their protocols and the American medical infrastructure which will follow those protocols to a ‘T’.

Except with Ebola Patient Zero [2], the hospital in Dallas that sent a man home who showed up with flu-like symptoms after just having returned six days prior from the Ebola-ravaged African nation of Liberia, the protocols and that infrastructure the CDC is so confident in has “regrettably” failed [3].



In the meantime, the video above shows that the CDC Director managed to contradict himself in just a minute-and-a-half regarding how Ebola is transmitted live on the national news.

Partial transcript (the particular clip begins at 5:44ish in the video above, emphasis added below):


Dr. Thomas Frieden, CDC director [standing right next to CNN's Sanjay Gupta]: Well actually, Sanjay and I, if one of us had Ebola, the other would not be a contact right now. Because we’re not in contact. Just talking to someone is not a way to get infected. It’s not like the flu, not like the common cold. It requires direct physical contact.

CNN host Michaela Pereira: But if he sneezes on you, it’s a different story.

Sanjay Gupta: I think there’s a utility here because we’re having this conversation but I am within 3 feet of you. Wouldn’t I be considered a higher risk? My understanding reading your guidelines, sir, is that within 3 feet or direct contact — if I were to shake your hand, for example — would both qualify as being contact.

Frieden: We look at each situation individually and we assess it based on how sick the individual is and what the nature of the contact is. And certainly if you’re within 3 feet, that’s a situation we’d want to be concerned about. But in this case, where we haven’t hugged — we haven’t shaken hands — we have not had any contact that would allow either of our body fluids to be in contact with the other person.

Gupta: So, to Michaela’s point, the reason we talk about coughing and sneezing not being a concern — if you were to have coughed on me — you’re saying that would not be of concern?

Frieden: We would look at that situation very closely…

The lesson here? Stay as healthy as possible, work on boosting your immune system, get prepared [4] and stop looking to the government to take care of you.

If it's only passed on by direct contact with "body fluids"....why are 'they' covered from head to toe in HAZMAT suits...like spacemen?

The problem is Africa, especially remote villages like the ones this is blooming in are not sterile CDC environments and the care workers can't keep the suits on 24/7. Plus, everyone there is sick with something. OK, not everyone but it isn't exactly the bastion of health. From malaria to water borne illnesses, they are constantly working with many sick people in dirty environments and they don't know who has what initially. They could pass someone leaving a hospital who they think is healthy. They could run up to help someone rushed in with an emergency. They could simply have not sterilized suits or equipment properly. There are many ways even cautious professionals can be infected in an environment like this.
