    Default Ms Hickox

    Quarantined Nurse Can Go Home if C.D.C. Approves, Christie Says
    A nurse who recently returned from West Africa and was quarantined for the past three days in a tent behind a New Jersey hospital despite having no symptoms associated with Ebola will be allowed to return home to serve out the rest of her mandatory quarantine.
    Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, in a brief interview, said that he expected her to be transferred Monday morning after doctors and federal officials signed off on the plan.
    The treatment of the nurse, Kaci Hickox, has drawn withering criticism from both public health officials and the nurse herself. Ms. Hickox lives in Fort Kent, Maine.

    In addition to the possible Ebola casse in Thailand mentioned in a different threat, there also is a possible case in Japan --
    The Japanese media is reporting Japan’s first suspected case of Ebola.

    A man arriving at Haneda Airport on the evening of October 27th after spending time in Liberia was showing symptoms of a fever. He was taken to the National Center for Global Health and Medicine in Shinjuku. The man is said to be in his forties.

    Tests are being done and the government has said they cannot confirm that he has had contact with an Ebola patient.

    The unnamed man is a 45-year-old journalist, according to the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry and police. He had been resident in Liberia from August until October 18th, after which he came back to Japan via Belgium and the UK.

    He has a very high fever of 37.5 degrees Celsius (99.5 degrees Fahrenheit) and tests are being done to see if he has been infected by a tropical diseases, including the Ebola virus.
    The results of initial tests will arrive in the early hours of October 28th.

    99.5 is "a very high fever"?

    Not really -- just quoting what they said justified their concern. The fact is that everyone is nervous, so every instance of fever, vomiting or diarrhea makes people jump.

    The MSM doesn't detail what the nurse's conditions were. They keep saying she was in the hospital. She wasn't. I don't think she would've complained so much had she been treated humanely. At least the NY Times got it right and said she was in a tent. The other stories I'm reading make it sound like she was being kept in a hospital. She didn't even have access to running water.

    I sort of wonder if they were using this to test equipment (including the tent) they anticipate would be deployed were the number of cases to exceed bed space in the hospitals.

    The way this whole thing is being handled, by damn near everybody, is nothing but one big Charlie Foxtrot. I fully expect that by the middle of next year, Ebola will be firmly entrenched here in the states.
