In the interview tonight on ANDERSON COOPER 360, the nurse stated:

1. The CDC was present and giving instructions for the PPE (personal protective equipment) to be worn;

2. There were changes made along the way in what to wear;

3. At no time did it included neck protection and she asked specifically about this area being exposed; and

4. Two weeks later and there was still no neck protection. (We saw the CDC director tell Megyn at Fox that it wasn't necessary.)

This is a HUGE ignored bit of news. The nurse didn't blast just her hospital. The CDC was the one there carrying the ball.

Frieden and Obama said that ANY hospital could handle this.

They own this mess and any deaths which may come.

And NOW it begins!

At this point I think all lawsuits are tacky. It will be much harder to fight the disease while fighting lawsuits and obsessing over every failed step. People are human and NO ONE meant to make it worse. When you notice a problem, fix the problem. That is all that is humanly possible in a case like this.

now that our own people are being infected from the people coming here, somebody in the body politic might sit up and take notice. unions are gonna be pissed.

The costs of Obolacare go parabolic. Socialization of risk squid strangles the republic. The check$ and balance$ collectivists decide to let the virus go viral.

What kind of face protection did they have? I think that should be of equal or greater concern. Aerosolized, virus contaminated bodily fluids from sneezing, coughing, projectile vomiting, explosive diarrhea can stay suspended in the air for a long time and a face shield and N95 mask is not sufficient protection.

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...

I remember when the US Astronauts came back from the first trip to the moon. They were given containment suits to wear before the exited the space capsule just in case there were microbes on the moon.

Now we don't worry about little things like microbes from Africa. Wonder what the CDC would have done if the Liberian had come here with a full blown case of leprosy.

If she is so concerned about proper procedure, why hasn’t she quarantined herself?
