Health care workers at the Dallas, Texas hospital where a nurse contracted Ebola while treating U.S. 'patient zero' Thomas Eric Duncan say there were 'no protocols' in place to deal with an outbreak.

Nurses say 'the guidelines were constantly changing' at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, and that when Duncan was first admitted, protective gear left their necks exposed.

These testimonies, told to representatives of the ... say protective gear left their necks exposed when Thomas Duncan was first admitted, union president reveals

National Nurses United union, directly contradict CDC Director Thomas Frieden's assertion that a 'breach in protocol' led 26-year-old nurse Nina Pham to become infected.

Thomas Fried-tart should get with Susan Rice. They both love to lie on camera, deceiving the public.

It’s got to be tough working under deadly conditions, receiving contradictory or bad directions from your superiors and knowing that if you became ill, they will probably blame you for contracting Ebola because of your stupidity and carelessness.
Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.
Those who can’t teach, administrate.
Now I’m going to hear from the teachers.
Oh well ...

Dengue is not communicable, except in extremely rare one-off type instances.

When Duncan was alive, how many Ebola patients were there in the United States? One?

Wasn’t the CDC there on-site to make sure this was done right?

I don’t understand what their actual job is?

This just makes me shake my head. In nations where they’re dealing with this, they spray themselves from head to toe with a bleach solution before they begin to remove their equipment.

That’s how a massive bureaucracy works. The system works pretty well until someone tosses in a monkey wrench.

The fact that she would be blamed is a reflection of really bad leadership.

So true.

My question to all these medical professionals is......don’t you ever watch movies? If I worked there I would immediately use Outbreak as a model for what I wanted before I would go near an Ebola patient. Even then I’d have to really think about it. lol

That pic may explain why Obola is always late for his photo ops and pressers. .....The makeup crew has to do a massive job on him before he is presentable to the camera lenses.

In recent years they’ve forgotten their main focus and have, instead, been more concerned about pushing for anti-gun laws and horrible foods to combat obesity... as dictated by the Obola administration.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...
