kinda like the conspiracy paranoia that the ACA was sold on a bunch of lies and misleading data, as conservatives AND ZH have been saying for years turned out to be neither conspiracy nor paranoia but fact...

Brooklyn Resident With Ebola Symptoms Rushed To Bellevue

The most "transparently" folsky, if data-fabricating, administration in history may be watching its Obamacare dreams go up in flaming house of cards, even as not a single mainstream media outlet, including ABC, NBC, or CBS, will be covering Obama's "historic" executive action on immigration from Las Vegas later today, but at least Obama's Ebola Czar has managed to put a vacuum seal over any coverage of Ebola on US soil, because as Zero Hedge showed, there was no better correlation to the volatility of US stocks than the frequency of Ebola stories hitting the wires. And the last thing Obama care afford now is to lose control of the markets.



Which likely explains why two days ago, when there was some brief chatter that a Brooklyn woman on an Ebola watch list had collapsed dead, bleeding from the "face, mouth and nose", we had to go all the way to the yellow UK press to get the details of this latest development which certainly is relevant to Brooklyn, and New York City, residents.

It also means that the latest news out of the NY Post, the same outlet that broke the first NY Ebola case, will get zero publicity.

A Brooklyn man, who recently returned from West Africa, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital with Ebola-like symptoms Thursday, police sources said.


The man, whose name is being withheld by The Post, returned from Mali on Nov. 14, and came down with flu-like symptoms which are similar symptoms to those exhibited by patients suffering from Ebola, the sources said.

The patient had been suffering from nausea, chills, and body aches but when his condition continued to worsen, he called 911.

He is undergoing a series of tests to determine whether or not he is infected with the Ebola virus, the sources said.

Bellevue Patient Update

Joint statement by NYC Health Department and NYC Health and Hospitals Corporation

An individual who came to the United States from Mali, a country with limited Ebola transmission, was taken to HHC Bellevue Hospital Center today. Due to the individual's travel history and symptoms, the patient has been isolated, and an Ebola test will be performed. Results are expected later today.

Somehow we get the feeling that the "results" due from an administration whose credibility has absolutely disintegrated in recent weeks, will be on par with the truthfulness one has come to expect about Obamacare-for-dummies. But then again, what's the worst case: a few million stupid voter folks could die.

and boom just like that this guys test results came back NEGATIVE the very same day, guess they got that testing improved from a couple days to a few hours now....




Brooklyn man who recently returned from Mali tested negative for Ebola, but will stay in isolation at Bellevue Hospital
Hamen Sibu, 56, will stay in isolation until the initial test is confirmed. If a person has been recently infected, tests for Ebola could still come back negative. Sibu returned from Mali on Nov. 14. He was tested for Ebola at Bellevue Hospital on Thursday after complaining of flulike symptoms.

How doctors test for Ebola

Tests for Ebola

A number of tests can be used to diagnose Ebola within a few days of the onset of symptoms, which can detect the virus's genetic material or the presence of antibodies against the pathogen.

The most accurate of these is likely the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, a technique that looks for genetic material from the virus and creates enough copies of it that it can be detected, Hirsch said. "PCR is a really definitive test," Hirsch said. It can pick up very small amounts of the virus.

However, this test can be negative during the first three days an infected person has symptoms, said Dr. Sandro Cinti, an infectious-disease specialist at the University of Michigan Hospital System/Ann Arbor VA Health System.

"Somebody could be in the hospital for three to five days before a diagnosis [of Ebola] is confirmed," Cinti told Live Science. "The important thing is keeping the patient isolated until you can get to a diagnosis." Meanwhile, doctors will be running tests to rule out other diseases, such as malaria, which can be detected more quickly than Ebola, he said.

Another test for Ebola looks for antibodies produced by the body's immune system in response to the virus. Known as the antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), this test can take even longer than three days to give a positive result for an infected person, Cinti said. And antibodies can also be detected after a patient recovers, he added.
