The tipping point for me is when medical staff start falling ill in multiple locations (lets just say ten locations). When the staff suffer the burden increases and the not so highly trained start stepping up and the tail spin begins. If medical staff start becoming ill in a few states and travel has not been locked down; I am going to utilize my ability to work from home 100% and monitor the best I can.
A side note. This is a VERY bad time for a confirmed ebola patient on U.S. soil. Think about it for a minute, if ebola reaches north in this country with winter coming supplies are going to run short quick as I would expect some sort of lock down. Famine. Many (and I do mean many) are NOT ready to hunker down for eight months until they can grow a crop; even if they could.
Thanks for your replys. Unfortunately I work in Hospitals servicing equipment. I don’t get “inside information” on what they are working on, exposed to. Yet, at the same time, I have to work in ERs, ICUs, etc. I am sure if they had a known Ebola patient present, I would not be allowed in the area. My problem is that they very likely not know someone had Ebola and there I am, walking through spilled “liquids”.
Ever look at a hospital floor while you are walking through. Think about the minimum wage person mopping up the “spills”, then pushing the mop cart down the hall to the next one.
Afraid I will be pulling the plug a little earlier than most.
