Ebola outbreak: NY doctor Craig Spencer tests positive

A New York doctor who recently returned from Ebola-hit Guinea in West Africa has tested positive for the disease.

Dr Craig Spencer, who treated Ebola patients while working for the charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), came down with a fever on Thursday, days after his return, officials say.

He is the first Ebola case diagnosed in New York, and the fourth in the US.

More than 4,800 people have died of Ebola - mainly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone - since March.

'No reason for alarm'
On Thursday evening, New York officials sought to ease fears of an outbreak in the densely populated city, saying health officials had prepared for weeks for an Ebola patient.

"There is no reason for New Yorkers to be alarmed," Mayor Bill de Blasio said. "Ebola is an extremely hard disease to contract. New Yorkers who have not been exposed to an infected person's bodily fluids are not at risk."

Governor Andrew Cuomo said, "We can't say that this is an unexpected circumstance."

Ebola patients are only infectious if they have symptoms, and the disease is only transmittable through bodily fluids, experts say.
Mr Cuomo said health officials had identified four people with whom Dr Spencer had contact during the period in which he was potentially infectious.

His fiancee and two friends have been placed into quarantine, said Dr Mary Bassett, New York's health commissioner.

Dr Spencer, 33, left Guinea on 14 October, travelling through Europe and returning to New York City on 17 October, Dr Bassett said.

On Tuesday he began to feel tired and developed a fever on Thursday. Dr Spencer immediately contacted health officials and was taken to New York City's Bellevue Hospital, where he was immediately placed into isolation.

Dr Spencer is the fourth person to be diagnosed with the disease in the US.

Vaccine research
The first caught Ebola in his native Liberia and travelled to Dallas, Texas, before his symptoms set in. He died on 8 October.

Two nurses who treated him in Dallas subsequently came down with the disease and are recovering in hospital.

Meanwhile, on Thursday the West African country of Mali confirmed its first Ebola case - a two-year-old girl recently returned from Guinea.
The girl's mother died in Guinea a few weeks ago and the child was then brought by relatives to Mali, Reuters news agency quotes a health ministry official as saying.

Mali is now the sixth West African country to be affected by the latest Ebola outbreak - however Senegal and Nigeria have since been declared virus-free by the WHO.

Separately, the World Health Organization (WHO) has already identified at least two experimental vaccines which it believes could be promising.
At a meeting in Geneva, the UN health body said it wanted tests of the vaccines to be completed by the end of December.

The WHO says 443 health workers have contracted Ebola, of whom 244 have died.

A doctor in New York City who recently returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea became the first person in the city to test positive for the virus Thursday, setting off a search for anyone who might have come into contact with him. The doctor, Craig Spencer, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital Center and placed in isolation at the same time as investigators sought to retrace every step he had taken over the past several days.

At least three people he had contact with in recent days have been placed in isolation. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which dispatched a team to New York, is conducting its own test to confirm the positive test on Thursday, which was performed by a city lab.

While officials have said they expected isolated cases of the disease to arrive in New York eventually, and had been preparing for this moment for months, the first case highlighted the challenges involved in containing the virus, especially in a crowded metropolis. Dr. Spencer, 33, had traveled on the A and L subway lines Wednesday night, visited a bowling alley in Williamsburg, and then took a taxi back to Manhattan.

The next morning, he reported having a temperature of 103 degrees, raising questions about his health while he was out in public. The authorities have interviewed Dr. Spencer several times and are also looking at information from his credit cards and MetroCard to determine his movements.

People infected with Ebola cannot spread the disease until they begin to display symptoms, and it cannot be spread through the air. As people become sicker, the viral load in the body builds, and they become increasingly contagious.

Mayor Bill de Blasio, speaking at a news conference at Bellevue on Thursday night, sought to reassure New Yorkers that there was no reason to be alarmed.

"Being on the same subway car or living near a person with Ebola does not in itself put someone at risk," he said.

Kama wao (wamarekani) wanaupata je wa kwetu wanaoenda huko watarudi salama? I doubt it

 

[miss chagga]

wakafa wataenda peponi

Inabidi kuwe na ki resort sehemu, preferrably kwenye kisiwa kidogo West Africa, ambapo hawa madaktari wote wanaotoka nchi hizi zenye mfumuko wa Ebola watakiwe kukaa kwa karantini kwa siku 21 kabla hawajarudi kwenye nchi zao.

Ama sivyo wataeneza Ebola kila kona ya dunia.

Atapona tu huyu na ndiye mgonjwa wa Ebola pekee US kwa sasa kama hajaambukiza/hataambukiza wengine, wale manesi wawili wa Dallas, Texas walioambukizwa na yule Mliberia aliyefariki wote wamepata clean report na hivyo kuthibitisha si wagonjwa tena wa hili gonjwa la kutisha.

Sema tuu nchi uloimaanisha kuisema ni russia.
Friend think nje ya box. Yaani unaichukua taarifa juujuu na kuishabikia pasipo. Jiulize maswali yafuatayo.
1. Unajua source ya ebola.?
2. Kwa nini marekani kapeleka wanajeshi africa magharibi kupambana na so called ebola.? Je ebola ni magaidi/maharamia.?
3 . Ebola imeibuka africa since december last year, but kuugua mmarekani wakadai ametibiwa kwa dawa ilokuwa under research akapona. Who was he prior to africans walokuwa wakiumwa na ebola kabla yake.? Inamaana wangewajaribia hao wasingepona.?

Like ISIS, I am sure msoviet anajua full mchezo wa nini kinaendelea in ebola thing

Even hawa madaktari na kesi za ebola kwa marekani nahisi ni za kutengeneza ili ionekane ebola si ugonjwa wa africa pekee. Na hakuna kitu kama hicho.
