A German hospital in Hamburg agreed to accept patients following a request from the World Health Organization (WHO), Deutsche Welle reports. Doctors assure that the utmost precautions will be taken to make sure the disease does not spread during treatment. The patients will be kept in an isolation ward behind several airlocks, and doctors and nurses will wear body suits with their own oxygen supplies that will be burned every three hours.
But the WHO is busy telling everyone it's not very infectious, not infectious as the flu, can't get it if person doesn't show symptoms - so why the need for isolation and airlocks and oxygen? Because .... Who is now covering their behinds for not recommending travel and trade restrictions for 6 months while the virus spread through 3 countries. Because WHO did not send in a team to mop it up in February when it was just a remote village in Guinea.
German authorities were expecting the arrival of Sheik Umar Khan, an Ebola expert who caught the disease while treating patients in Sierra Leone, but he died before he could be transported.
"We were actually anticipating the patient's arrival over the weekend," Dr. Jonas Schmidt-Chanasit, head of the viral diagnostic unit at Hamburg's Bernhard-Nocht-Institute, told German public broadcaster NDR.
This latest outbreak of Ebola originated in Guinea in February and quickly spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone
wrong it didn't spread to Sierra Leone until May. That is not quick.
and Nigeria where the first case was reported last week. The disease has already claimed over 650 lives and has prompted authorities in Europe to take measures to prevent its spread.
Just remember because now the health authorities will lie to keep people calm: it is as infectious as the flue. If someone with Ebola sneezes and a droplet hits your face, you can get ebola. If someone with ebola scratches their sweaty arm and then grabs a metal rail, and you touch the metal rail and then touch your eyes nose or mouth you can get ebola. If you have sex with someone who has ebola but no symptoms you can get ebola. It is highly infectious. The only solution to halt the spread is quarantining people who have been in infected areas within the last 21 days on entry to the US / Canada/ Australia and holding them in isolation until blood tests clear them
