DALLAS (AP) — The first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States died Wednesday morning in a Dallas hospital Wednesday, a hospital spokesman said.
Thomas Eric Duncan was pronounced dead at 7:51 a.m. at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, where he was admitted Sept. 28 and has been kept in isolation, according to spokesman Wendell Watson.

Duncan’s condition was changed on Saturday from serious to critical.
Duncan carried the deadly virus with him from his home in Liberia, though he showed no signs when he left for the United States. He arrived in Dallas Sept. 20 and fell sick a few days later. (more…)

Many people have asked how can a cameraman with no direct contact to Ebola patients get infected with the Ebola virus. Here’s the answer from the horses mouth so-to-speak.

Those who are paying attention will note Mr Mukpo is specifically describing aerosolized exposure to the virus.   We have previously explained how Bloodborne Pathogen training day #1, Rule #1, specifically warns about this risk when cleaning OPIM (Other Potentially Infectious Material) such as vomit, urine, feces, saliva and/or blood. 

(Via ABC News) The American journalist with Ebola who arrived at a Nebraska hospital today believes that he may have gotten infected when he got splashed while spray-washing a vehicle where someone had died from the disease.
Ashoka Mukpo arrived at the Nebraska Medical Center this morning after being flown directly from Liberia.
“He’s strong and his symptoms are not more advanced then when he talked to us before he left which is a relief,” his father Dr. Mitchell Levy said at a news conference today. He said his son has a fever and slight nausea.
“Likely he will go into the next phase where his symptoms will be more severe,” Levy said.
Levy said that his son is “not certain” when he got the disease, but believes that he could have gotten infected by some of the spray back that came when he was using chlorine to disinfect a car.
“It was a vehicle that somebody had died in,” Levy said. (more…)

“Ladies and Gentlemen: Please secure your trays tables and seats into their upright and locked positions, along with any vomit or Other Potentially Infectious Materials for our flight staff to pick up as we prepare for arrival to our final destination”…. “And, as always, the staff of United Flight 998 would like to thank you for remaining calm as we transport the Ebola virus to a destination near you”.

NEW YORK – A United Airilines flight from Brussels was met by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials today at Newark Liberty International Airport after a passenger on board believed to be from Liberia exhibited possible signs of Ebola.

Other passengers remained on the plane while the two were being removed. (more…)

Hey, wait a minute, what’s with the respirators? We were told there’s no risk of airborne Ebola.  Secondly, gee, how’d you like to be a neighbor, or live in the same building…. Yikes.  Would you stay?

DALLAS – A hazmat team finally arrived on scene today to sanitize the contaminated apartment where the Ebola victim’s family have been quarantined under police guard as it was revealed ten people are being considered ‘high risk’ for the deadly virus.

Louise Troh, her son Timothy Wayne, 13, nephew Oliver Smallwood, 21, and his friend Jeffrey Cole, have been legally ordered to stay inside the Dallas apartment where Ebola patient Thomas Duncan became contagious last weekend.
The Dallas Fire Department’s hazmat crew and a private cleaning company were both at the apartment complex on Friday afternoon – close to 24 hours after Texas authorities promised to deal with the shocking oversight. The clean-up was expected to take around three hours. (more…)

Everybody say Pla-a-a-ague! “Pla-a-a-ague“….
Now wave your hands all up in the air – and spread the plague like you just don’t ca-are!

I’m sorry folks, but Bloodborne Pathogens 101 teaches day #1, Rule #1, that you do not use high velocity pressure to clean up OPIM (other potentially infectious materials) when dealing with bloodborne pathogen clean-up.  Why? Because you run the risk of aerosolizing the virus.
And the Centers for Disease Control says:

“nothing to worry about folks, this could never happen here in the U.S.A “....

Seriously?

More confirmation of what we suspected from the outset. Ebola man intentionally left Liberia knowing he was infected, and came to the U.S. for treatment.

WASHINGTON – Liberian authorities say they plan to prosecute the man infected with Ebola who brought the disease to the United States, saying he lied on his airport health questionnaire.

With an Ebola crisis raging in West Africa, passengers leaving Liberia are being screened for fever and are asked if they have had contact with anyone infected.
On the questionnaire obtained by The Associated Press, Thomas Eric Duncan answered ‘no’ to those questions. (more…)
